Aster DEX allows traders to open perpetual positions using borrowed capital at leverage multiples ranging from 5x to 1,001x depending on the asset. A $1,000 margin at 5x leverage, for example, opens a $5,000 position. BTC/USD perpetuals support up to 1,001x; ASTER/USDT pairs support up to 50x.

Aster Pro, a sister offering on the platform, also enables crypto-settled stock trading—tickers like AAPLUSDT—at up to 50x leverage. ASTER tokens can be withdrawn to any Web3 wallet on BNB Chain, and ASTER/USDT perpetual contracts trade on external futures venues including BingX.

Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. On Aster DEX, liquidation risk scales with position size and leverage ratio, a core mechanic of on-chain perpetual trading.
