Aptos's 2025 Surge: Scalability, Ecosystem, and Institutional Backing
Layer-1 blockchain Aptos has greatly improved its position in the Web3 scene in 2025, highlighted by the "Ascend Apartments" update in March that enhanced its scalability to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) and drew 1,000 active Move language developers. Among the top 10 blockchains by stable coin market capitalization, its ecosystem has exploded with more than 300 new Web3 projects, 1. 2 million active users, $3 billion in DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL), and over $1 billion in stable coin value. Its rising corporate acceptance is emphasized by strategic collaborations with Franklin Templeton for a $500 million tokenized fund and Google Cloud for artificial intelligence integration. Furthermore encouraging varied uses are inventive initiatives and hackathons like MOVE AI; its own token, APT, had a market capitalization of $3. 3 billion by June 2025, showing great investor interest and a swiftly growing community of almost 800 collaborations.
Shelby Launch & Wyoming Stablecoin Bid Boost Aptos Confidence
After the release of Shelby, a decentralized Web3 storage solution created in partnership with Jump Crypto, institutional trust and on-chain activity in Aptos have both grown. Encouraging its appeal to big investors, Aptos was also nominated as a top contender for Wyoming's state-sponsored stablecoin trial project.
APTUSD Technicals: Eyeing New Highs
Any daily close above $7.25 confirms further bullishness.
APTUSD has gained more than 35% in the past two days. The pair holds well above the short-term (34 and 55 EMA) and long-term moving average on the 4-hour chart. It hit a high of $5.23 and is currently trading around $5.16.
The bullish invalidation can happen if the pair closes below $3.80. On the lower side, the near-term support is $4.55. Any break below target $3.80/$3.
The immediate resistance stands at around $6.40. Any breach above confirms bullish continuation. A jump to $7.25/$7.70/$8.90 is possible. A surge past $10 will take it to $15/$20.
It is good to buy on dips around $5 with SL around $3 for TP of $8.90..
