Aptos stablecoin supply nears $1.2 billion

While overall market sentiment has played a part in Aptos token’s bounce, network related growth appears to a main catalyst.

Per details shared by Token Terminal, Aptos’ stablecoin supply has grown from $430 million in December 2024 to near the all-time high of $1.2 billion.

The metric last reached this milestone in May 2025, signaling robust network activity. Leading stablecoins Tether (USDT) and USDC (USDC) have driven this surge in liquidity.
