Binance Wallet has taken a major leap forward in 2026 by introducing perpetual futures trading directly inside the wallet interface, powered by Aster a decentralized derivatives engine that brings leveraged trading to self-custody users.
This feature lets you trade on-chain perpetual contracts with leverage without transferring funds to an exchange, all while retaining full control of your assets through your keyless Binance Wallet. It’s a new chapter in on-chain derivatives combining flexibility, security, and DeFi-style trading.
What Exactly Is Perpetual Futures Trading?
Perpetual futures are contracts that allow you to speculate on the price direction of an asset without owning it directly and without an expiry date. Unlike traditional futures, they can be held indefinitely, and traders can take long or short positions with leverage.
By integrating this capability directly into Binance Wallet via Aster’s infrastructure:
You trade on-chain
You keep control of your assets
You avoid moving funds through multiple platforms
How It Works Inside Binance Wallet
Once you open Binance Wallet (Web) and head to the new “Perpetuals” tab:
Enable your account — activate perpetual trading within the wallet.
Approve trading — confirm on your device.
Transfer collateral — pick assets like BNB, USDT, BTC, ETH, ASTER, and more.
Open positions — trade perpetual contracts seamlessly inside the wallet.
This means no centralized exchange account needed, and your keys remain under your control as you trade.
What You Can Trade
The initial rollout on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) supports:
Crypto perpetuals like BTC and ETH
Token collateral such as BNB, ASTER, USDT, and others
Stock-linked perpetual markets including blue-chip names like Apple (AAPLUSDT) and Nvidia (NVDAUSDT)
Even ETF-linked derivatives, expanding access beyond crypto into broader financial products.
This broad range opens derivatives access to even more market types directly from your self-custody wallet.
Why This Matters
⚡ True On-Chain Derivatives
Instead of relying on centralized exchanges, perpetual contracts run through Aster’s decentralized infrastructure, but seamlessly inside the Binance Wallet interface. This bridges self-custody and advanced trading without sacrificing control.
🔐 Keyless Self-Custody
Your assets and positions are managed via keyless wallet features, so there’s no need to manually manage seed phrases or handle complex custody setups while still retaining control over your collateral and positions.
📈 Deep Liquidity & Markets
Aster provides liquidity and order execution within the wallet experience, allowing more efficient entries and exits compared with typical fragmented DeFi perps pools.
🎁 Reward Campaigns
The integration launch includes exclusive reward opportunities such as the On-Chain Perpetual Milestone Challenge with a total of up to 200,000 USDT in rewards and points for traders participating through Binance Wallet.
Benefits for Traders
Leverage access inside a self-custody environment
Streamlined trading experience without external DApps
Support for a wide range of collateral tokens
Exposure to crypto and traditional markets all inside your wallet
Participation in incentive and reward programs
This feature effectively turns your keyless wallet into a full-featured trading terminal with on-chain transparency and security.
Risks and Considerations
Perpetual futures trading involves:
Leverage risk — positions can be liquidated if losses exceed collateral
Smart contract risk — derivatives run on permissionless protocols
Derivatives market volatility — prices can swing rapidly
Users should always understand risks before placing leveraged trades, especially on decentralized perpetual markets with deep liquidity but on-chain execution.
Final Takeaway
Binance Wallet’s integration with Aster for on-chain perpetual futures marks a significant evolution in how derivatives can be accessed bringing professional-grade trading to a self-custody wallet without centralized intermediaries.
For traders wanting deeper exposure, easier execution, and more control, this feature empowers them to trade a wide set of perpetual markets directly from their wallet all while participating in reward campaigns and earning points through activity.
