    Aptos Price Climbs Even as Bitcoin and Ethereum Remain Sharply Down

    Aptos was trading up more than 9% on Thursday a day after crypto asset manager Bitwise filed for an exchange-traded fund tracking its spot price, and even as Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies continued to hold onto substantial losses from the last few days. The jump reversed course for APT, the token of the Aptos layer-1 blockchain and 35th largest coin by market value, which has fallen about 38% over the past month amid a market slump that intensified over the past week. Aptos is current...

    Aptos Price Surges as Traders Fuel ‘Community Takeover’ With Memes

    A little-known memer named BuzzlamicJihad launched an unofficial “community takeover” of layer-1 blockchain Aptos, and two months after Aptos Labs founder and CEO Mo Shaikh stepped down, it’s finally catching on—and fueling a massive price surge. Aptos (APT) has spiked 17% over the past 24 hours to a current price of $6.45, according to CoinGecko, making the token the third-biggest gainer in the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap during that span. The token's daily peak price of $6.57 is the...

    Everything You Need to Know About the ‘Tomarket’ Telegram Game Airdrop

    Prominent Telegram crypto game Tomarket will launch its TOMA token on the Aptos network this week, following a late-breaking shift from The Open Network (TON). It’s almost time for players to reap what they have sown in the tomato-themed game, as the token is set to start trading soon. Tomarket has split its airdrop into at least three events. One already took place on October 31, but users could not withdraw or trade their tokens—this was more akin to revealing token allocations ahead of the ai...

    Mo Shaikh, a co-creator of the Aptos blockchain and co-founder and CEO of the Aptos Labs firm that helps support it, announced Thursday that he's leaving the company to focus on a "new chapter." "Today, I am stepping away from Aptos Labs to start a new chapter," Shaikh wrote on X. "One of my true passions lies in building companies from the ground up, and we have done that at Aptos Labs by building a world-class team."

    Tomarket, a popular Telegram game playable on the messaging platform as a mini app, is ditching its original plan to launch its token on The Open Network (TON) and will instead deploy TOMA on rival layer-1 network Aptos.

Tomarket has handed out allocations of tokens across multiple airdrop waves, but players have be...

    'Castile' Launches Beta on Aptos as Developer Nytro Lab's Funding Hits $25 Million

    Roguelike role-playing-game (RPG) Castile launched its monthlong open beta today alongside a rewards campaign that will see 10 million CAST handed out before the token actually launches. This comes as the developer of the game, Nytro Lab, pushes its total funding to $25 million with a fresh $8 million in investment. The Aptos-based game blends the core roguelike loop—that is, fighting through dungeons to level up and gain resources—with RPG elements, while also allowing in-game cards to be trade...

    ‘Tickle-to-Earn’ Cat Game Prompts Massive Spike in Aptos Transactions

    The blockchain tracks each and every time you tickle the digital cat. Aptos, a layer-1 blockchain network, logged two consecutive days of huge daily transaction tally gains—and it was all thanks to a “tickle-to-earn” cat game. On Friday, Aptos recorded over 90 million transactions, followed by over 115 million transactions on Saturday, according to data from Aptoscan. Here’s some perspective: On Wednesday, Aptos processed 875,000 transactions, while Ethereum, according to Etherscan, processed ju...

Bitcoin's (BTC) positive price action above $31,000 yesterday has likely added to the positive sentiment. Ethereum (ETH) buyers are also attempting to move past resistance between $1,950 and $2,000.

    In many ways, the crypto bear market adage about building has been ideal for Aptos. It took focus off the blockchain’s tokenomics, which drew a lot of criticism for being unveiled the day after its mainnet launch in October. A common refrain on Twitter at the time was that after raising $350 million at a valuation of more than $4 billion, Aptos should have been quicker to share details about how its native APT token had been distributed. Now, after months of hosting hackathons and securing partn...
