Since the second week of October, there was a noticeable surge in demand for Aptos’ native cryptocurrency APT. This increased interest led to a robust phase of Total Value Locked (TVL) growth.
Ultimately, this surge in demand for APT resulted in Aptos achieving its highest-ever TVL value of $74 million during the trading session on Thursday, October 26th.
This surge in TVL is a crucial metric for decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, showcasing the total value of assets, tokens, or cryptocurrencies locked within the platform’s smart contracts.

Aptos Surges Amidst Rising Investor Confidence
The increase in demand for Aptos’ native cryptocurrency, APT, further demonstrates growing investor confidence and interest in the platform’s utility, potentially indicating an expanded user base or enhanced use case scenarios within the Aptos ecosystem.
At the time of writing, APT was trading at $6.69, up 4.5% in the last 24 hours, and etching a notable 31.5% increase in the last seven days, according to figures by crypto market tracker Coingecko.
This rally can be partially due to Aptos’ distinct position as a proof-of-stake blockchain that uses a cutting-edge smart contract programming language, to facilitate quicker and less expensive transactions on its network.
For this reason, a lot of cryptocurrency fans frequently associate Aptos with certain decentralized Web3 applications, with a focus on the domain of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

APT Price On Bullish Run With 24% Gain
The announcement led to a surge in Aptos (APT) price from $4.88 to $6.03 between October 20 and 23, a nearly 24% increase, prompting experts to predict a bullish trend continuing to $7.20 around end of next month.
Its current value of $6.69 reflects a notable climb of 36% since mid-October, demonstrating a robust upward trend. The increase in price underscores the promising prospects for the future of Aptos and its indigenous digital currency, APT.
As Aptos achieves its all-time high in Total Value Locked (TVL), the soaring trajectory of APT’s price and the platform’s advancements in NFT technology have sparked significant optimism.
The recent market surge and robust momentum hint at the potential for sustained growth and increased interest in APT. Despite concerns looming over a possible market retraction, the record-breaking TVL and the remarkable rise in APT’s value prompt a hopeful outlook, suggesting that Aptos and its native token may be well-positioned to weather potential market fluctuations and maintain their upward trajectory in the near future.
