Aptos unlocked $50 million worth of APT tokens for early contributors and developers on September 12, 2025. Due to the market resilience of the token, its price's immediate impact is minimal. The open interest in futures on Bybit and Binance dropped by 12% within two weeks, reflecting traders' cautious sentiment. APT's DEX trading volume has decreased by nearly 20% over the past 30 days, consistent with the overall trend of Layer 1, which is shifting towards projects with stronger on-chain metrics. The Aptos Foundation remains silent, lacking short-term catalysts, and with limited volatility expectations, the token's trajectory remains neutral to slightly bearish.
