The #Aptos blockchain continues to gain momentum, especially after a recent event: Tether launched its USDT stablecoin on the platform, making direct deposits much easier for users of the blockchain. According to researchers at TK Research, this could play a key role in the dailty development of the project and the decentralized finance (DeFI) sector within the network.
The researchers noted that since the addition of USDT, the total supply of #Stablecoins on Aptos has grown by 15.2% in the last week alone and by 9.4% in the last month, exceeding $800 million. This underscores the blockchain's growing appeal to users working with stablecoins.
$USDC
currently accounts for 51.4% of the network, while USDT and USDT (native) hold 37.2% and 3.7% respectively. The researchers also noted the presence of USDY (3%), MOD (2.7%) and USDCET (2%), which round out the list. Notably, most of the stablecoins are concentrated in leading lending and borrowing protocols such as Aries Markets (49.7%) and Echelon Market (14.2%). At the same time, Meso Finance accounts for only 9.2% of the total share
These figures show the rapid growth of interest in Aptos and the successful strategy of stackablecoin integration. Activity on the platform is expanding: Superposition Finance, Joule Finance and Aptin Labs are also showing steady asset growth, which strengthens the ecosystem. For example, Superposition increased its blocked asset amounts (TVL) by 16% in 7 days, Joule Finance by 11.7%, and Aptin Finance by 5%.
Overall, Aptos is laying the groundwork for a vibrant and sustainable stablecoin ecosystem by incentivizing the flow of new users and capital into blockchain protocols. If the trend continues, this could lead to further growth and diversification of network usage, strengthening Aptos' position in the DeFi market.
