Aster said it has launched Hong Kong stock perpetual contracts linked to Tencent (00700.HK), Xiaomi (01810.HK), Pop Mart (09992.HK), and MiniMax (00100.HK). According to the company’s May 11 statement, users can trade these assets on-chain using cryptocurrency rather than through a traditional brokerage account. The launch expands Aster’s stock-linked derivative offerings by combining crypto-based access with perpetual contracts that provide price exposure to selected Hong Kong-listed equities without direct share ownership.
