#CreatorPad The decentralized perpetuals market is one of the few crypto verticals with undeniable product-market fit, and BNB Chain is fast becoming its center of gravity. Look, in this space, a new protocol, Aster Dex, has just put up some staggering numbers. In the first half of 2025 alone, the platform processed an incredible 58 billion in trading volume.
