Aptos Stablecoin Milestone Falls Flat on Native Token Price

Aptos has reached a significant milestone in its stablecoin growth, but its native token is not reflecting it. The $USDT supply on the network has surpassed $1.1 billion, accounting for approximately 79% of the network's stablecoin value.

This growth represents an increase of 18.6% over the past 30 days, with Aptos continuing to offer low fees and sub-second finality. Every transaction also burns APT, creating a direct connection between network activity and token value.

However, despite this promising setup, the market is not responding positively to Aptos. The $APT price has collapsed from around $5.50 in October 2025 to an all-time low near $0.53 in August 2026.

The network's continued activity and development are not translating into sustained demand for APT. Price remains largely in consolidation, and if buyers continue to stay away, the token could eventually slip below the $0.53 low.
