Aster rolls out USDC perps markets on Arc
@Aster_DEX, the exchange behind $ASTER, now runs Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana perpetual futures quoted in $USDC, quoted in $USDC and backed by USDC deposited on
@arc. Arc says this makes the stablecoin a trading and margin asset on Aster for the first time.
Aster has accepted USDC deposits and withdrawals on Arc since the chain launched on September 16. The new markets arrive a day after rival perps exchange Extended moved its settlement from Starknet to Arc, dropping USDT in the process.
