Aptos Rises: How It Claimed a Top 3 Spot in the RWA Boom Aptos Network has rapidly climbed to the third position in global real-world asset (RWA) rankings lagging only behind Ethereum and ZKsync Era. The network's RWA Total Value Locked (TVL) has soared by 56.28% over the past month, reaching $538 million, predominantly from private credit, U.S. Treasury bonds, and institutional alternative funds.

Aptos's focuses strategically on a smaller number of high-impact partnerships, particularly those with institutional alignment, which in turn has allowed it to surpass competitors like Stellar, Solana, and Polygon in RWA value despite having fewer projects but allowing to attract significant capital.

The network also benefits from the rapid growth of native stablecoins, totaling over $1.2 billion, and extremely low transaction fees (under $0.0008), making it suitable for global payment solutions. While Aptos still has a substantial gap to close with Ethereum and ZKsync Era, its focused strategy, robust infrastructure, and ability to attract real-world assets position it for continued growth in the latter half of 2025.
