Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced it has become the first exchange to list ASTER (ASTER/USDT), ahead other major platforms. This early listing positions Bybit at the forefront of one of the most anticipated token launches of the year.

ASTER is the product of the late-2024 merger between Astherus, a multi-asset liquidity hub, and APX Finance, a decentralized perpetual protocol. With strong backing from Binance founder CZ and a growing role in both spot and perpetual trading within the Binance ecosystem, ASTER has already attracted significant attention. In Q3 2025 alone, the protocol generated over $6.5 million in revenue, reinforcing its potential to become a top-tier DeFi project.
High Narrative Value: ASTER’s position in the Binance ecosystem, together with CZ’s endorsement, has fueled strong market anticipation.
Community Power: The project is deeply community-driven, with highly engaging airdrops and grassroots campaigns.
Growth Potential: With clear revenue momentum and ecosystem adoption, ASTER is seen as a challenger to leading DeFi protocols.
To celebrate this milestone, Bybit is launching multiple campaigns offering users high yields and lucrative rewards:
Starting September 21, 10:00 UTC, Bybit Earn will open a limited-time ASTER fixed-term staking product.
