Bybit and OKX Boost ASTER Listing with Spot, Futures & Staking
Bybit and OKX have launched a coordinated ASTER listing across spot and perpetual futures markets, enhancing liquidity and leverage options for traders. Bybit opened ASTER/USDT spot deposits on Sept 21, enabled spot trading, and introduced a fixed-term staking product along with a 100,000 USDT token rewards campaign. OKX followed with ASTER USDT-margined perpetual futures at 05:00 UTC. The ASTER token swap from APX to ASTER and related network upgrades fueled a 120% APX rally, drove TVL above $2 billion, and generated $434 million in intraday volume. This ASTER listing rollout is expected to drive ongoing price discovery, deepen market depth, and boost trading volume.
Bullish
The coordinated ASTER listing on Bybit (spot) and OKX (perpetual futures), combined with staking incentives and a token swap-driven network surge, is likely to attract new liquidity and trading volume. Major exchange support and reward campaigns typically boost market depth and price discovery. The APX-to-ASTER swap rally and TVL growth demonstrate robust fundamentals, suggesting bullish momentum both short-term (increased trading activity) and long-term (strong protocol adoption).
