The total value locked in Aptos has doubled year-on-year despite the decline in the price of the APT cryptocurrency. The Aptos network recorded significant growth over the past year, despite the price of the APT cryptocurrency falling by 47%.
The total value locked (TVL) at the end of March 2025 reached approximately $1.03 billion, after exceeding this threshold for the first time last November.
According to a report from Messari, this value represents a 109% increase in dollars compared to the previous year, and 562% when measured by the price of the APT coin, reflecting significant expansion in network activity.
This growth coincided with an increase in the market value of stablecoins on the network, which surpassed $1 billion on March 24, more than ten times its level a year ago.
This was aided by the launch of native contracts for USDT and USDC on Aptos, leading to significant inflows into the network.
The value of USDT has increased by more than eight times to reach $680 million, while the value of USDC rose by 131% to $295 million.
On the technical level, Aptos Labs launched two main solutions, “Zaptos” and “Shardines,” aimed at enhancing performance and increasing processing capacity.
