Singapore, September 22nd 2025 – SafePal, a non-custodial crypto wallet suite trusted by over 25 million users over 200+ blockchains, today announced a partnership with Aster, a decentralized perpetuals exchange (perp DEX) operating on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana. Both platforms are backed by YZi (formerly Binance) Labs, underscoring a shared vision to make trading for crypto and tokenized stocks more seamless, secure, and accessible.

The latest SafePal app update (V4.10) natively integrates Aster, providing seamless access to 100x leverage on top crypto pairs like BTC and ETH and up to 50x on tokenized blue-chip stocks such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Nvidia, and Tesla. With perp DEX volume steadily climbing from 3% to 8% of CEX activity over the past year, the move comes strategically to introduce a hybrid model combining CEX-level performance with DEX self-custody and transparency.

“Crypto wallets are no longer just storage; they’re becoming the command center for everything Web3.” said Veronica Wong, CEO and co-founder of SafePal. “By bringing Aster into SafePal, we’re transforming the wallet suite into a hub for perpetual trading, where 25 million users can tap CEX-level performance with the safety of self-custody.”

With highly competitive fees (0.01% maker and 0.035% taker fees respectively), Aster also utilizes a concentrated liquidity order book (CLOB) mechanism coupled with a stablecoin ecosystem with USDF and asUSDF, providing SafePal App users with a rich trading experience on BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Ethereum.

The perp DEX has racked up over $106B volume this year, and aims to grow that even further by next year through various partnerships and continued developments to its platform. Aster has also recently launched and airdropped its decentralized token ASTER with widespread attention, generating $345M volume in the first day.

For the wallet suite, the native integration comes as part of its 2025 roadmap to expand into a CeFi and DeFi hub, and SafePal intends to continue working with other promising and established providers to deliver a comprehensive and seamless spot and perp trading experience for crypto users.

“The beauty of being a blockchain and platform agnostic wallet suite is that we don’t take sides, and can support both emerging and established platforms to expand choice and flexibility for users.” Veronica also said. ”We plan to continue building with more partners to deliver value and utility in trending verticals from perp and spot trading, stablecoins, to tokenized RWAs and stocks in coming months.”

In addition to the Aster integration, the wallet suite has also revamped its yield aggregator (SafePal Earn) with the latest V4.10 update and also released a new version of its CEX mini program with leading crypto exchange Bitget.

As part of further efforts to expand into a CeFi and DeFi hub, SafePal has also expanded service coverage for its CeDeFi banking gateway and Mastercard to improve accessibility to compliant and crypto friendly banking to real life applications.
