Aptos Crosses $1B Market Cap in Stablecoins

The market cap of stablecoins on the Aptos protocol has reached $1 billion this week, according to data shared by Messari today.

Aptos, a Layer 1 blockchain, has hit a new milestone this week as the market cap of stablecoins on the protocol reached $1 billion, according to data shared by Messari on Thursday.

The recent increase in stablecoin inflows to the blockchain saw stablecoins on Aptos cross $1 billion in market cap, an increase of $200 million week-over-week.

This rise in stablecoin supply on the protocol saw Aptos AHT move to a new peak, moving above the recent high of $780 million that was hit on January 31. The recent increase in stablecoin supply is mainly attributed to the recent growth of Tether’s USDT, which now makes up 75% of the stablecoin market on the Aptos network.

Ethena’s USDe, Circle’s USDC, and Tether’s USDT are the three major stablecoins on the Aptos chain. These integrations strengthened Aptos’ status as a prominent stablecoin network, unleashing new opportunities for DeFi users.

Tether launched its USDT stablecoin on Aptos in October 2024. While Circle rolled out its USDC stablecoin on the mainnet in late January this year, Ethena debuted its USDe in the network late last month.

The integration of various stablecoins has also helped Aptos broaden its role as a major platform for DeFi. The addition of these stable assets not only strengthens the platform’s stablecoin ecosystem but also expands liquidity flows and unlocks yield opportunities across the Aptos DeFi network.

Stablecoins have contributed a crucial role in broadening the DeFi network on Aptos, with stablecoins making up more than 20% of the blockchain’s $1.091 billion TVL. This growth highlights Aptos’ capacity to support innovative financial platforms and the tokenization of RWAs on a cost-friendly, high-speed, and secure network.

With the world’s major stablecoins moving to Aptos as a core for global finance, big money is circulating on Aptos. APT, Aptos native token, is among the top 30 biggest crypto assets with a market cap of $3.59 billion.
