Aptos now ranks as the fourth-largest blockchain by daily active users, with surging stablecoin trading volume and growing DEX sector.
Aptos (APT) has emerged as one of the fastest-growing blockchain networks, recording nearly 15 million monthly active users in Q1 2025. This surge in adoption has placed it fourth among all blockchain networks in terms of daily active users.
As per the latest OurNetwork research, Aptos has also seen a major increase in stablecoin trading volume, exceeding $200 million. It means that a year-over-year growth is more than 1,000%. This comes as a result of the integration of native USDC and USDe stablecoins in January and February 2025, respectively.
The decentralized exchange (DEX) sector on Aptos has also witnessed remarkable activity. During the week of March 10, DEX volumes on the network soared by $100 million in just five days, pushing total volume to $13.1 billion.
According to DeFiLlama, Aptos currently boasts a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $974 million. Platforms like Aries Markets, Amnis Finance, and Echo are leading in TVL, while lending protocols such as Echelon, Meso Finance, and Superposition collectively account for around $550 million in locked value.
APT Price Outlook
According to CoinMarketCap, APT is currently trading at $5.59, up by 4% in the past 24 hours.
The token is approaching its 20-day EMA at $5.58, a crucial level that could determine its next major move. A breakout above this level could signal a bullish shift. However, a rejection could indicate a period of consolidation or minor retracement.
On the daily APT price chart, the RSI currently stands at 47, with a slight upward tilt. A further upward push in RSI could suggest increasing bullish strength.
Meanwhile, APT price is testing the midline of the Bollinger Bands, which serves as a dynamic resistance level. A confirmed breakout above this midline could move the price toward the upper Bollinger Band at around $6.63.
On the other hand, strong support is seen at $4.72 (lower Bollinger Band), where buying pressure could emerge.
Notably, the Aptos Foundation has committed over $200 million in grants and investments to expand its DeFi ecosystem. These funds will be allocated to enhancing spot trading hubs, automated market makers (AMMs), and concentrated liquidity market makers (CLMMs).
