@Aster_DEX and @BNBCHAIN are running a trading competition until October 31 for users of bStocks, the tokenized US stocks from @bstocksfinance. The campaign offers up to $70,000 in rewards across two tracks, one for spot traders and one for perpetual futures users.

How the rewards work

Spot traders of five bStocks, including Nvidia, Circle and Strategy, share up to $50,000 in $NVDAB. The pool starts at $10,000 and grows to $50,000 as total trading volume passes $50 million and $100 million.

A further $20,000 in $ASTER is reserved for perpetual traders. To qualify, users must post at least $500 in bStocks as collateral and reach $5,000 in perpetual volume. Rewards are capped at $50 per user.

Entrants must register and switch off Account Privacy. Their wallets and trading volumes will be shown publicly. Aster's own site lists the promotion as a bStocks Trading and Collateral Campaign with up to $70,000 in rewards.

What bStocks are

bStocks are issued by a Binance affiliate. Each token is a BEP-20 asset on BNB Chain, and the issuer is BTech Holdings Limited.The tokens are backed 1:1 by underlying US shares held with regulated custodians.They trade 24/7 and give economic exposure to the underlying stock, including price moves and dividends, without direct ownership of the share.

Binance announced the bStocks launch on June 10, 2026, as a way to trade tokenized US stocks around the clock on BNB Chain. Aster is one of the DeFi venues where they can be used. Aster has said users can post tokenized stocks as collateral while continuing to hold them, which lets the same assets be used for perpetual contract trading.

The product has grown quickly. According to Crypto Briefing, bStocks has passed $1 billion in assets under management, with users converting more than $6 billion between tokenized and real US stocks. More broadly, BNB Chain says it is now the leading chain for tokenized stocks, with more than 709 tokenized stocks and ETFs and cumulative volume above $5 billion.

Campaigns like this are a common way for exchanges and chains to build liquidity in new asset classes. For $ASTER and $BNB holders, the volume thresholds in the spot pool are the number to watch before the October 31 deadline.
