Aptos Network’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has surged 56.28% to reach $538 million, cementing its position as the third-largest blockchain for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. This substantial growth underscores robust institutional engagement despite a noticeable decoupling from the network’s native APT token price.
The expansion is largely attributed to strategic partnerships with major financial institutions including Square, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock. These collaborations have been instrumental in developing and scaling RWA products on the Aptos blockchain, driving sector diversification within the ecosystem.
TVL distribution reveals a prominent focus on private credit ($420 million), with significant allocations to U.S. Treasuries ($87 million) and other assets ($30.7 million). Notably, while TVL escalated dramatically, the price of APT remained relatively stable at approximately $4.42, highlighting a divergence between network adoption and token valuation.
This growth trajectory positions Aptos at the forefront of institutional blockchain adoption for tokenizing traditional financial assets, reflecting the accelerating convergence of regulated finance with decentralized infrastructure and the broader tokenization trend reshaping global markets.
