Aster to List MEME USDT Perpetual Contracts, Market Cap $128M

The listing of MEME perpetual contracts by Aster adds a derivatives layer to a token with a relatively modest market cap, which could increase its trading volume and volatility as leveraged positions open. This matters for traders seeking exposure to MEME beyond spot markets, but it also signals growing exchange interest in meme tokens as viable perpetual assets. The key is whether the contract’s funding rates and liquidity hold up, as thin markets can lead to sharp squeezes. Watch how the token’s price reacts to the influx of speculative flows.
