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

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Aster has announced support for bStocks on the BNB Chain, allowing users to both hold tokenized stock assets and use them as margin for trading, achieving "one position, two uses." This mechanism enables users to hold bStocks while simultaneously using them for perpetual contract trading, thereby improving capital efficiency and enabling parallel "holding and trading."

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

Analysts believe that this design strengthens the integration trend between Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization and the derivatives market, making it possible for on-chain assets to participate in leveraged trading without giving up their holding exposure.
