PANews reported on January 14th that Binance Wallet announced a partnership with decentralized exchange Aster, launching a new feature on its web version that allows BNB smart chain users to trade perpetual contracts directly within their wallets. Users can now trade diversified crypto and US stock contracts using assets such as BNB, USDT, BTC, and ETH without going through a centralized exchange, maintaining full control over their assets. This is the first such integration within the Binance ecosystem; Aster is the second-largest decentralized perpetual contract platform by market capitalization.
