Aptos Blasts Past 15M Users: Can APT Keep the Momentum Going?

by

Well, well, well, if it isn’t Aptos (APT) strutting onto the blockchain stage, wearing its finest 15 million monthly users like a snappy new tuxedo. In Q1 2025, this shiny newcomer has earned a respectable fourth place in daily active users. Bravo! It seems the blockchain world is suddenly paying attention, and who can blame them?

Now, hold onto your monocles, because it gets even more riveting. According to OurNetwork (you know, the researchers in the trenches), Aptos has also seen its stablecoin trading volume exceed a rather eye-popping $200 million. This marks a truly mind-boggling 1,000% growth year-over-year. The reason for this spectacular rise? Oh, just the small matter of integrating native USDC and USDe stablecoins in January and February 2025. Casual, right?

But wait! There’s more! The decentralized exchange (DEX) sector on Aptos has been so active that it looks like it’s had a double shot of espresso. During the week of March 10, DEX volumes rocketed by a cool $100 million in just five days. Total volume? A staggering $13.1 billion. Talk about a busy week at the blockchain office!

And now, a word from DeFiLlama (a name which surely invokes thoughts of cuddly, woolly creatures in the financial world). Aptos currently has a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $974 million. Aries Markets, Amnis Finance, and Echo are holding the fort at the top, while lending protocols like Echelon, Meso Finance, and Superposition are casually hoarding around $550 million in locked value. I suppose we all need hobbies, don’t we?

APT Price Outlook

Moving on to the juicy stuff, the APT token is currently trading at a respectable $5.59. In fact, it’s up 4% in the past 24 hours, like a sprightly gazelle on the blockchain savannah. The token is now eyeing its 20-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average, for the uninitiated) at $5.58—an absolutely crucial level. Should it break through, we could be in for a bullish shift. If not, well, brace yourselves for a bit of consolidation, or perhaps even a slight dip. It’s like waiting for the next episode of your favorite series—what will happen next?!

Looking at the daily price chart, the RSI (Relative Strength Index, if you must know) is sitting comfortably at 47, with a slight upward tilt. If this upward trend continues, it could suggest that the bulls are, in fact, getting stronger. Or maybe they’re just having a good day. Who knows?

Meanwhile, APT’s price is testing the midline of the Bollinger Bands, that oh-so-fancy resistance level. Should it break through, we might see the price zoom toward the upper Bollinger Band at around $6.63. But if it doesn’t… well, there’s always the lower Bollinger Band at $4.72, where some nice, cozy support could potentially emerge. You know, like a comfy armchair at the end of a long day.

And for those of you who like to throw money at things, the Aptos Foundation has generously committed over $200 million in grants and investments. All this cash is meant to fuel the expansion of its DeFi ecosystem, including spot trading hubs, automated market makers (AMMs), and concentrated liquidity market makers (CLMMs). In short, they’ve got big plans—and we’re all here for it.
