Aster DEX Unveils Phase 1 Rewards Campaign for USD1 RWA Markets

Aster DEX and World Liberty Financial have launched a Phase 1 rewards campaign to boost trading activity in its newly minted USD1-denominated real-world asset perpetual markets.

The campaign, which runs from August 31 through December 31, 2026, will distribute 125 million WLFI tokens based on eligible open interest and an additional 6.25 million USD1 tied to trading volume.

The total liquidity backing the program sits at roughly $28 million, pooled from approximately 250 million WLFI and 12.5 million USD1.

Aster launched five RWA perpetual markets on August 20, 2026: SPCXUSD1, CLUSD1, XAUUSD1, SNDKUSD1, and SKHYNIXUSD1, all settled exclusively in USD1.
