THE NEXT-GEN PERPETUAL DEX
What if you could trade on a DEX while enjoying a CEX-like experience?
Aster is setting a new standard for perpetual DEXs - combining simplicity, performance, and security.
Born from the merger of APX Finance and Astherus, Aster combines the best of both worlds: Astherus’s yield-generating products and APX’s robust perp infrastructure.
Here’s what makes Aster stand out:
Backed by YZi Labs - The project raised funds from YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), one of the most well-known crypto VCs
Highly competitive trading fees: Maker 0.01%, Taker 0.035% (lowest in the market for regular traders)
Multiple Trading Modes - Aster has a Simple Mode and a Pro Mode, making it the ideal trading platform for both newbies and pros
The Pro Mode comes with CEX-grade liquidity and professional trading tools.
The Simple Mode offers MEV-resistant, one-click trading, with up to 1001x leverage!
What’s also interesting is that Aster will launch its Rh points program soon, which will reward you with $AST airdrop for just trading.
And on top of this, a $10,000 trading campaign is already live.
Trade and get rewarded with Aster!
🛠️How to track macro events
Whether we like it or not, crypto prices are affected by the macro conditions.
The macro uncertainty is a key reason why most tokens have struggled recently, even though we’ve seen some very positive developments on the crypto regulatory side.
The tool I’m using to track macro events is MarketWatch.
With this one, you can:
Find an economic calendar with all key upcoming macro events
See the latest news that has had an impact on financial markets
Check all the important statements made by the FED
The CPI data, the FOMC meetings, the Fed Chair Speeches, and the Initial Jobless Claims are some of the things I’m closely looking at.
You can check out MarketWatch’s macro calendar here.
