Aster broadens WLFI partnership with USD1 perpetuals, adds 0-bps maker fees
On March 18, 2026, Aster said it expanded its collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) by rolling out USD1-denominated perpetual contracts and related trading incentives. The initial USD1 perps list BTC, ETH, and SOL pairs, with 10+ more pairs planned in the coming weeks, alongside 0-bps maker fees and a 0.5-bps taker fee on USD1 markets. Aster also said users may earn WLFI token rewards and additional incentives for holding USD1 on the platform as it prepares for the Aster Chain mainnet.
