Aster DEX has introduced perpetual futures contracts for Lisk (LSK) and Power Ledger (POWR) with up to 5x leverage, expanding its altcoin derivatives offerings. This move allows traders to speculate or hedge without using spot markets, especially as Lisk plans to shut down its mainnet by October 31, 2026, transitioning LSK into a loyalty token on Ethereum. Power Ledger, focused on peer-to-peer energy trading, adds a real-world use case to Aster's growing catalogue, which aggressively lists new markets to let trading activity determine popularity.
