Aster has emerged as the leading decentralized perpetual exchange (perp DEX) by trading volume, recording $10.6 billion in the past 24 hours, according to Coinomedia. This achievement places Aster ahead of competitors Lighter, which reported $10.1 billion, and Hyperliquid with $8 billion. The surge in Aster's trading volume underscores increasing trader confidence in its platform's infrastructure and liquidity. The competition among decentralized perpetual exchanges is heating up as traders increasingly prefer non-custodial, round-the-clock trading options over traditional centralized exchanges. Aster's recent performance highlights its growing prominence in the evolving DEX landscape.
