Aster Launches bStocks Perpetual Contracts on BNB Chain, Enabling "Hold and Earn" Dual Functionality

Odaily reports that Aster has announced support for bStocks on BNB Chain, allowing users to hold tokenized stock assets while using them as margin for trading. This enables a "one position, two uses" mechanism. The system allows users to continue holding bStocks while deploying them for perpetual contract trading, thereby enhancing capital efficiency and enabling parallel "holding + trading."

Aster noted that it has become one of the first DeFi protocols to support bStocks within the BNB Chain ecosystem, introducing this asset class to the perpetual contract market and further expanding the application scenarios for tokenized stocks in on-chain finance.

Analysts believe this design strengthens the convergence trend between real-world asset tokenization (RWA) and the derivatives market, making it possible for on-chain assets to participate in leveraged trading without relinquishing their long exposure.
