Descriptions support APT’s performance charts. This made his market capitalization increase from $500 million to $2.5 billion in February.
In September, a fake APT-like token appeared on Upbit, a major Korean crypto exchange. A bug at Upbit caused the exchange to accept fake tokens because it didn’t verify the underlying source code.
Therefore, the exchange has temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals before resuming services. However, it was unexpectedly caused by the exchange in which Aptos experienced a 678% increase in the stock.
More user interactions in the third quarter
Blockchain analytics company Messari published a report last month, describing the situation of Aptos in the third quarter of 2023. Importantly, the average of daily transactions, addresses, and new residences increased by 207%, 329%, and 410% quarter-on-quarter, respectively.
The increase in network usage is driven by the growth of DeFi.
His income increased from $147,100 to $268,000 in one quarter. However, its business turnover fell from $1.5 billion to $1.28 billion.
We can see that the crypto winter during the third quarter really affected the growth of Aptos, but it showed an impact with many users at the same time.
The token recorded an extraordinary 38% increase in its value in one month of continuous running. It was trading at $7.58 at the time of this publication.
