Looking at this from another perspective, it's not that Aster has been integrated into Binance Wallet, but rather that Binance Wallet's product form is upgrading. Binance Wallet is no longer just about asset storage and swapping; it's starting to integrate "native derivatives capabilities." The perpetual contract module essentially completes the wallet's trading loop, and Aster provides a mature on-chain Perp infrastructure: matching, liquidity, pricing, and risk control are all readily available. You'll see the disclaimer clearly states: transactions occur on Aster; the upper layer is merely the wallet's entry point—this isn't competition, but a standard Infra + Distribution division of labor. This also explains why CZ clarified that aggregation terminals like Genius don't conflict with Aster; on the contrary, they might continuously drive traffic to the Perp DEX. This $200,000 trading competition is more like a "wallet-level feature release test": verifying whether users are willing to trade perpetual contracts directly within their wallets. If this model works, Aster won't just be "a certain DEX," but rather the default derivatives engine for wallets. #Aster #Binance #binancewallet #perpdex
