Institutional adoption for Aptos RWA is accelerating, with on-chain holdings including $420M in private credit, $86.93M in U.S. Treasuries, and $30.72M in alternative funds.
Aptos is scheduled to unlock 11.31 million APT tokens (~$49.5M) on July 12, which may impact near-term price action.

The Aptos Network is becoming a go-to preferred choice for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, as the latest data shows that the total value locked (TVL) in RWAs, surged by a massive 56.28% in the last 30 days to $538 million. This highlights strong adoption while placing Aptos as the third-largest RWA network by TVL, trailing only behind Ethereum and zkSync Era.

According to the latest on-chain data, Aptos now holds approximately $420 million in private credit, $86.93 million in U.S. Treasuries, and $30.72 million in institutional alternative funds, as per data from RWA.xyz. This is a clear sign of rising institutional adoption and capital inflows in the Aptos ecosystem.

Furthermore, the RWA momentum is catching pace with Aptos’ expansion into credit markets, real estate exposure, and money market fund tokenization. On the other hand, platform innovations like Shelby and new omnichannel tools have further bolstered institutional engagement.

Key Achievement By Aptos Blockchain

Apart from its growing adoption in the RWA market, Aptos has achieved key milestones recently. Last week, Aptos CEO Avery Ching secured a seat at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee, as mentioned in our previous report.

The blockchain platform noted that its representative, Ching, will join the policy conversation to provide a builder’s perspective in a regulatory space still largely shaped by legal and financial stakeholders. His appointment reflects the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) increasing interest in involving technologists with hands-on blockchain expertise.

On the other hand, Aptos Labs has teamed up with Yellow Card to launch a gas-free stablecoin transfer service across Africa, allowing users to send USDT and USDC without paying any network fees. Now live in over 20 countries, the service offers near-instant transactions, removing both cost and speed barriers for users, as reported by CNF.

The initiative goes beyond technical innovation, aiming to improve financial access for communities traditionally underserved by legacy banking systems. Powered by Aptos’ “gas-sponsored onboarding” feature, all transaction fees are fully covered by the platform, ensuring a seamless and inclusive user experience.

APT Token Unlocks And Price Action

Aptos is set to unlock 11.31 million APT tokens, worth approximately $49.5 million, on July 12, 2025, representing 0.98% of the currently locked supply. The scheduled release could influence short-term market dynamics, with traders closely watching how the token’s price responds.

APT, the native crypto of Aptos, has been moving sideways on the daily, monthly, and weekly charts, while trying to take the support at $4.3. Market analysts note that as long as current support levels hold, the next potential target lies at $5.30 and beyond.
