Aster launches bStocks perpetual contract on BNB Chain, enabling "hold and earn" dual functionality

Odaily Planet Daily News: Aster announced support for bStocks on the BNB Chain, allowing users to use tokenized stock assets as collateral for trading while holding them, achieving "one position, two uses." This mechanism permits users to continue holding bStocks while utilizing them for perpetual contract trading, thereby improving 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 of tokenized stocks in on-chain finance.

Analysis suggests that such a design strengthens the integration trend between Real World Assets (RWA) and the derivatives market, making it possible for on-chain assets to participate in leveraged trading without giving up their holding exposure.
