Aptos (APT)

In terms of a cycle, EdgeX and o1 have generated a strong sense of despair, and the like counts on posts by バンケラさん, takaさん and others have dropped considerably, so I want to think it’s about time for a bottom‑buy (bottom).

I think the number of people has dropped a lot now.

Even if I say buy, it doesn’t feel like the atmosphere of Aptos back then, so I’m unsure whether it’s truly a bottom‑buy moment.

Aptos is joining @Visa, @Mastercard, @BlackRock, @stripe, and over 140 companies to launch Open USD.

Most stablecoins are issued and controlled by a single entity. Open USD flips that model. Minting and redemption are free with no volume caps. Reserve earnings flow back to partners. Governance sits with an independent board made up of the businesses using it.

For @Aptos, this is more than a co-signing moment, it places the network's infrastructure alongside the most influential names in global finance as the industry builds stablecoin rails designed for enterprise scale.

When the coalition includes both TradFi and crypto's biggest names, the direction of travel is clear. 🏦

🔥Aptos's stablecoin market cap reached a new high of over $2 billion in June. Now, the enterprise era of stablecoins is here, and Aptos has entered early!

@openstandard announced it will launch a new stablecoin Open USD later this year for global capital flows, and the lineup of partners says it all:

→ Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, BNY, Google, Shopify, as well as Coinbase, Aave, Aptos Labs and over 140 other institutions

Notably, @Aptos, as a launch partner, is one of the few representing underlying blockchain infrastructure.

Payment providers can bring merchants, banks can provide compliance, internet platforms can bring users, but the chain that ultimately carries global capital flows remains a single chain.

→ It requires sub‑second finality, ultra‑low transaction costs, continuous stable operation, and the ability to support high‑frequency capital movement.

These capabilities are no longer a nice‑to‑have, but a prerequisite for enterprise adoption.

Over the past year, we have seen Aptos continuously build in this direction:

→ Stablecoin scale keeps growing, entering the top tier of layer‑1 chains
→ RWA and institutional asset size are expanding rapidly, with BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and others deployed on‑chain
→ Ongoing enhancements to compliance, privacy and execution capabilities for institutions

Joining OpenUSD is another extension of Aptos's institutional strategy, with more and more institutions appearing on the Aptos ecosystem map! 🦾
