The statement is strongly corroborated by multiple sources. Specifically, Source 7 (TradingView) and Source 2 (AInvest) explicitly state that the BNB Chain Perpetual DEX volume reached a record of $67 billion. Other sources report similar figures, such as a total market volume of $70 billion driven by Aster (Source 8), and consistently attribute this surge in volume to the launch and high activity of the Aster DEX on the BNB Chain. While some sources cite different figures, these may reflect different timeframes during a period of high volatility. The weight of the evidence confirms the statement.
