According to the Gate market data, as of September 29, 2025, the current price of $ASTER is $1.82, which has decreased by 4.09% in the past 24 hours.
This provides investors who want to participate in StandX’s latest Discord event with a better entry opportunity—now, by holding about 3 $ASTER (costing around $5.46), you can receive a limited edition "ASTER" role on the official StandX Discord to prepare for the upcoming potential airdrop.
01 StandX: A potential Perp DEX developed by the Binance OG team.
StandX is a decentralized finance project founded by core members of the former Binance futures team, focusing on the combination of synthetic stablecoins and perpetual contract DEX.
The project was co-founded by former Binance derivatives head Aaron Gong and former Binance derivatives director Justin, who chose to venture into the emerging field of blockchain entrepreneurship after leaving Binance in 2024.
StandX aims to integrate the Ethena-style synthetic stablecoin mechanism with the Hyperliquid-style decentralized contract trading model, creating a complete financial ecosystem.
The team believes that stablecoins and decentralized contracts are the two key tracks in the blockchain industry. StandX aims to combine the two through innovative design, providing users with efficient, secure, and transparent trading and stable value storage solutions.
02 ASTER Role Claim: Exclusive Channel for 7 Days Only
On September 25, 2025, the perpetual contract DEX StandX officially announced that it will issue a limited edition "ASTER" identity for ASTER holders in its Discord community. There is currently a 7-day window for verification to claim this identity, which may allow for potential rewards in the future.
This operation essentially enhances the sense of belonging for token holders by creating a scarce identity marker, while also laying the groundwork for potential future airdrops or equity distributions.
The seven-day window period not only creates a sense of urgency but also effectively filters out genuine active users.
Claim Steps
Step 1: Join the StandX official Discord channel (link: https://discord.com/invite/GukchY2aqy), complete the verification.
Step 2: Click on "aster-holders", then click on "Let’s go!" to bind the wallet. You need to hold at least 3 ASTER tokens in your wallet to complete the verification.
The entire process is simple and quick, and you can obtain this limited edition identity in just a few minutes.
03 Dual-line layout: ASTER airdrop enters the final sprint
Just as StandX launched a Discord-exclusive event, the second phase of Aster Genesis is also about to end.
The second phase of Aster Genesis will officially end on October 5, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, with only two trading periods remaining.
A total of 4% of the total supply of $ASTER is allocated as a reward pool in this phase, and all participants’ Rh points will be redeemed for $ASTER airdrop after the TGE.
Rh Points Multidimensional Scoring Model
Unlike the first stage, Stage 2 adopts a multi-dimensional points model, where Rh points are no longer solely based on trading volume, but also take into account the quality and depth of trading behavior.
The scoring criteria include five major dimensions:
- Trading volume score: The higher the trading volume on Aster Pro, the more Rh points are earned. Taker (taking orders) earns 2 times the points of Maker (placing orders) transactions.
- Position Time Score: The longer the position is held, the higher the score obtained, with a maximum score limit of twice the user’s trading volume for the week.
- Aster asset holding score: Using Aster ecosystem assets (such as asBNB or USDF) as collateral can earn additional points.
- Realized Profit and Loss Ratio: Calculate the daily realized profit and loss (excluding funding fees and transaction fees)
- Recommended team points: Level 1 invitees can receive 10% of the basic Rh points of the invited person, and Level 2 invitees can receive 5%.
04 StandX Interactive Strategy: Zero Wear Participation Method
Compared to Aster, which requires actual trading to earn points, StandX’s interaction is almost "zero friction". Not only is the potential airdrop value considerable, but it also has a Binance OG background, making it possess a very high level of discussion.
According to feedback from multiple members of the community, StandX’s Perp DEX product may soon be open to users. The most direct way to participate in StandX before the trading product launches is through the Pre-Deposit activity, which currently has a TVL exceeding $85 million. The activity will end on October 31.
Deposit Activity Participation Guide
Step 1: Enter the interactive website (link: https://standx.com/), connect your wallet, click "SIGN" After clicking "Accept Referral" you can receive a 5% points bonus.
Step 2: In the "POINT EARNING VENUES" section, find "DUSD" and click on "Mint" to participate in the pre-deposit. A minimum deposit of 50 USDT/USDC is required, and after the deposit, it will automatically be converted to DUSD at a 1:1 ratio. The current APY is 5.96%.
Step 3: In the "POINT EARNING VENUES" section, find "DLiquidity Provider" and click on "Earn Trading Fee + Yield" for the LP pool of the DUSD-USDT trading pair to earn 1.1⁄1.4 times the points bonus.
If you temporarily need money and want to withdraw the stored USDT/USDC, you can choose Redeem, which is without wear and tear, but requires a 7-day waiting period. Alternatively, you can choose Swap, which will incur trading losses, but you can immediately receive USDT/USDC.

05 Track Pattern: Opportunities in the Perp DEX Chaos
With the continuous surge in Aster prices, the popularity of perpetual contract DEXs is rapidly increasing. Currently, the Aster second quarter airdrop event is in full swing, and the platform’s perpetual contract trading volume has also skyrocketed, reaching more than twice that of Hyperliquid at one point.
Aster is a project exclusively invested in and incubated by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), and it is BNB On-chain leading Perp DEX. Its predecessor is the multi-asset liquidity protocol Astherus and the established derivatives exchange APX Finance.
In December last year, Astherus announced a strategic merger with APX Finance and recently changed the platform’s brand name to Aster.
Compared to centralized exchanges, Perp DEX has a better coin listing effect. In addition, with the development of Layer 2 and multi-chain ecosystems, Perp DEX has significantly improved in trading speed and user experience.
Despite the significant rise of decentralized perpetual contracts, they are still in the early stages of development. The total trading volume of the top ten decentralized perpetual contract exchanges in 2024 is only 2% of the total trading volume of the top ten centralized perpetual contract exchanges, indicating that the penetration rate of Perp DEX is still low, with substantial growth potential.
06 Operation Suggestions: Strategies and Risks of Dual-Line Layout
For investors looking to participate in these two projects, the following strategies can be considered:
Aster Points Sprint
There are less than two weeks left until the end of the second phase of Aster Genesis, and users still have the opportunity to earn points, climb the leaderboard, and receive more $ASTER airdrops.
Focus on multiple factors of integral area, not just pursuing trading volume, but also considering factors such as holding time and asset ownership to optimize the overall score.
StandX early participation
The StandX Discord ASTER role distribution event has only a 7-day window, so it’s recommended to participate as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
Participate in the pre-deposit activity to earn early points and prepare for potential airdrops. The pre-deposit activity will end on October 31, and the Perp DEX product is expected to launch in October.
Risk Warning
Cryptocurrency trading carries a high level of risk, and all operations must be undertaken at your own risk. The content of this article does not constitute investment advice; investors should focus on the fundamentals of the project, view short-term fluctuations rationally, and implement proper risk management.
Future Outlook
The collaboration between StandX and Aster is not just a simple marketing activity, but a signal of the intensifying competition in the Perp DEX track. With the second phase of Aster Genesis nearing its end, and StandX’s Perp DEX set to launch in October, now is a crucial time window to participate in these two projects.
Seize the time to claim the Discord exclusive role and strategically position your StandX deposits in advance; opportunities always favor those who are prepared.
