Aster DEX lists OpenAI pre-IPO perpetuals with up to 5x leverage as tokenized equities grow

Aster (ASTER) DEX has introduced leveraged OpenAI pre-IPO perpetual contracts, letting traders speculate on implied private-market valuations with up to 5x leverage. The product arrives as tokenized equity markets move further on-chain, with OpenAI-linked synthetic pricing hovering around $1,600 per share-equivalent. While broader participation may increase, thinner liquidity and higher leverage can also amplify volatility and liquidation risk.
