Aster Dex Announces Support For Two New Tokens
Aster DEX has listed Maple Finance's $SYRUP and Lumia's $LUMIA tokens with leverage options of up to 50x and 10x respectively, as the perps platform approaches $2 billion in open interest.
Two New Listings Go Live on Aster DEX
@Aster_DEX has announced listing support for two new altcoins: @maplefinance's $SYRUP token and @BuildOnLumia's $LUMIA token. The tokens are available with up to 50x and 10x leverage respectively, broadening the platform's growing roster of tradable assets.
Aster currently holds approximately $1.8 billion in open interest, with the platform continuing to attract capital across its multi-chain infrastructure. It operates across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum, and offers MEV-free, one-click trading with up to 1001x leverage in Simple Mode, and full-featured, pro-grade tools in Pro Mode.
Aster was created after the merger of Astherus and APX Finance, combining yield-generating products with advanced perpetual markets, stock perps, and MEV-resistant high-leverage trading to form a unified, capital-efficient DeFi platform. It is backed by YZi Labs and CZ from Binance.
About the Listed Tokens
$SYRUP is the native governance and utility token of Maple Finance, an on-chain institutional lending protocol. Maple Finance is an on-chain asset manager that bridges traditional finance expertise with decentralized finance to provide institutional-grade lending and yield products. Holders of $SYRUP participate in Maple's growth model, where 25% of protocol revenue funds token buybacks. Maple Finance now manages approximately $4.6 billion in assets, with its syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT pools each surpassing $1 billion.
$LUMIA is the native utility token of Lumia, a Layer 2 blockchain focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and liquidity. As Lumia evolves to become a leading chain for Real World Assets and decentralized finance, $LUMIA serves as its new native token. Lumia describes itself as the first next-generation blockchain to provide a comprehensive solution across the entire life cycle of real-world assets, from asset tokenization to liquidity aggregation and connectivity to millions of DeFi and Web3 traders. $LUMIA is used to pay for transaction fees on the Lumia L2 network and grants token holders the ability to participate in governance decisions, including voting on key protocol upgrades and parameter changes.
The dual listing reinforces Aster's strategy of expanding its tradable asset base with tokens tied to substantive DeFi infrastructure projects, rather than purely speculative assets.
