Meanwhile,\u00a0WLFI\u2019s price<\/a> moved nearly 3% higher in the last 24 hours to $0.10. Retail sentiment trended in \u2018bullish\u2019 territory with chatter at \u2018high\u2019 levels.<\/p>\n Aster, WLFI Push USD1 Into Commodities Trading<\/p>\n World Liberty Financial said USD1 is being positioned as a base layer for tokenized real-world assets on Aster, with commodities trading serving as an early use case. The companies said the integration is part of a broader effort to align their ecosystems and explore deeper token interoperability.<\/p>\n Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the\u00a0USD1 stablecoin<\/a> improved to \u2018neutral\u2019 from \u2018bearish\u2019 territory over the past day, while retail sentiment around\u00a0Tether<\/a> fell to \u2018bearish\u2019 from the \u2018bullish\u2019 zone.<\/p>\n The new markets will launch with a maker-taker fee model designed to incentivize participation. Aster said taker fees will be set at 1 basis point, while makers will receive a rebate of 0.5 basis points. The company noted that the structure may be adjusted over time.<\/p>\n Additional incentive programs could also be introduced, though the company did not share a timeline.<\/p>\n The Perp DEX Wars Heat Up<\/p>\n The launch comes as other decentralized exchanges have also expanded their offerings to include perpetual trading of real world assets following the boom in trading volume for Hyperliquidi (HYPE). The platform saw roughly\u00a0$1.5 billion in trades<\/a> on the weekend when the U.S.-Iran war kicked off, followed by another $1.3 billion in volume the following weekend.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0data<\/a> on DeFiLlama, Hyperliquid currently leads in trading volume with over $200 billion reported volume over the last 30 days, followed by edgeX (EDGE) at $76 billion and Aster (ASTER) at $74 billion. Aster offers higher leverage of up to 1001x. The three are considered to be the primary contenders of the \u201cperp DEX wars.\u201d<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s not just decentralized exchanges looking to capitalize on the trend. Coinbase (COIN), which launched perpetual futures in March, offers 10x leverage on single stocks like Apple (AAPL) and Nvidia (NVDA) as well as 20x leverage for contracts on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and the Nasdaq-100 Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ).<\/p>\n Last week, Telegram also\u00a0announced<\/a> that it would allow its users to trade more than 50 assets including commodities and stocks through its native wallet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Read also:\u00a0Bitcoin Nears $70K On US-Iran Ceasefire Talks, $270 Million Shorts Wiped Out<\/a><\/p>\n For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.<\/p>\n
