Aster DEX Marks One Year Since ASTER TGE With $25.4 Billion in Perpetuals Volume
BSCN highlighted the milestone in a post on X, noting that Aster DEX held its official ASTER TGE on September 17, 2025. One year later, the platform’s reported metrics include $1.35 billion in open interest.
Aster DEX Reports $477 Million in Fees
The figures shared by BSCN show that Aster DEX has accumulated $477 million in total fees since the ASTER TGE.
Fees represent one of the key activity metrics for a trading platform, although the figure alone does not indicate how those fees are distributed or the platform’s underlying profitability. BSCN did not provide a further breakdown of the reported $477 million total.
The milestone comes one year after Aster officially conducted its ASTER TGE on September 17, 2025, marking the date referenced by BSCN as the platform’s token-generation event.
Perpetuals Volume Reaches $25.4 Billion
Aster DEX has also recorded $25.4 billion in total perpetuals volume, according to the figures shared by BSCN.
Perpetual contracts are derivatives that do not have a fixed expiration date. Trading volume measures the value of contracts traded over a given period, while open interest represents the value of outstanding derivative positions.
The distinction is relevant when assessing the two figures reported for Aster. While the platform has processed $25.4 billion in cumulative perpetuals volume, its reported open interest stands at $1.35 billion.
BSCN did not specify the methodology or time period used to calculate each metric beyond linking them to the one-year milestone.
Open Interest Stands at $1.35 Billion
The $1.35 billion open-interest figure provides another measure of activity on Aster DEX at the anniversary highlighted by BSCN.
Open interest can change as traders open or close positions and does not represent the same metric as cumulative trading volume. As a result, the $1.35 billion figure should be considered alongside, rather than combined directly with, the $25.4 billion perpetuals volume.
The figures shared by BSCN offer a snapshot of the platform’s reported activity one year after its ASTER TGE. No additional claims about future growth, token performance or trading activity were included in the source post.
BSCN concluded its anniversary post by congratulating the Aster team on the milestone. The date marking the reported anniversary is September 17, one year after Aster DEX’s official ASTER TGE on September 17, 2025.
