Binance Wallet adds Aster perpetual futures, pushing token near $0.74

Aster’s spot price hovered below a $0.76 area that has recently capped advances, with the token moving between roughly $0.68 and $0.77 over the prior week. Trading activity picked up into the launch window, with market trackers showing higher spot volume and a rise in derivatives turnover.

Binance Wallet added Aster perpetuals on 14 January 2026, allowing users to access leveraged contracts from within the wallet. The rollout initially supports trading on BNB Smart Chain. Aster and Binance Wallet also promoted an incentives campaign tied to the launch, offering rewards and awarding points for activity conducted through the wallet interface.

Derivatives data providers showed futures volume increasing alongside a modest rise in open interest, a mix that can indicate new positioning rather than pure rotation. The token remained below its recent highs, with price action compressing after a quick run-up earlier in the month.

Aster has been expanding integrations with consumer crypto wallets, positioning itself as infrastructure for wallet-based perpetual futures trading. The project has also pointed to a broader product roadmap for 2026, including a planned mainnet launch and staking features later in the year.

In an earlier GNcrypto report, Binance rolled out a wallet update on 1 December 2025 that lets users create and manage up to five keyless wallets under one account, extending its multiparty computation seedless setup beyond a single wallet per user. The wallets can be named and managed in a consolidated dashboard in the Binance App, with creation handled on mobile via passkey authentication and access also available through the Binance Wallet browser extension after setup, while key shares remain split across the user device, the cloud and Binance under the MPC model.
