Summary

Aster has overtaken HyperLiquid with a $64 billion daily trading volume on BNB Chain, significantly outpacing HyperLiquid’s $7.6 billion. The growth is attributed to Aster’s higher leverage offerings, ranging from 100x to 300x. Both exchanges' native tokens, ASTER and HYPE, saw price declines despite the volume increase. Aster's rise also comes amidst a broader market downturn, where altcoins lost $200 billion in market cap.
