# Asterategy Overview

Aster DEX is the newest entry into the world of decentralized perpetural futures exchanges, supported by none other than the most powerful man in crypto, Changpeng Zhao (CZ).

Bringing much-needed competition to the hottest space in DeFi, Aster is poised to be a long-term protocol drawing in billions of dollars of liquidity and trading volume.

The token behind Aster, $ASTER, is the natural beneficiary of this attention, liquidity, and volume. As such, it makes sense for a protocol to form to purchase as many $ASTER tokens as possible.
