Aster DEX Introduces Perpetual Futures for Lisk and Power Ledger with 5x Leverage

Aster DEX has launched perpetual futures contracts for Lisk (LSK) and Power Ledger (POWR), allowing traders to utilize up to 5x leverage on these new offerings. This announcement was made on September 13, 2026, as part of Aster's ongoing expansion of its derivatives marketplace, which reportedly includes between 558 and 590 perpetual markets and adds over 40 new markets each month.

The introduction of LSK futures comes at a critical time, as Lisk is set to shut down its mainnet on October 31, 2026. Following this shutdown, LSK will transition into a loyalty and rewards token primarily operating on the Ethereum and Base blockchains. In contrast, Power Ledger focuses on peer-to-peer energy trading and real-world energy marketplace solutions, providing a use-case narrative that extends beyond speculation.

Aster DEX employs a unique growth strategy that emphasizes aggressive listings rather than selective curation, allowing the trading community to determine which markets gain traction. The platform's community-driven listing framework, known as AOS-2, incorporates a governance layer, resulting in a rapidly expanding catalogue that includes established tokens like LSK and POWR, which are better positioned to attract genuine trading interest.
