In the weekly roundup episode of Blockworks’ podcast “On the Margin,” Michael Ippolito, co-founder, sits down with Senior Editor Tyler Neville to talk about the news in macro, including the crypto market sell off, how to contextualize it, and what comes next. They also discuss the first whispers of tapering from the Fed, a twenty year high in correlation between equities and bonds, and China SRO’s reiterating the ban on trading crypto.

“On the Margin” is a two-part show. Once a week, Mike interviews industry experts, and then at the end of the week he is joined by co-host Tyler Neville where they break down the top crypto and macro stories. Episodes go live every Wednesday and Saturday morning.

Innovations on Aptos’ technical design through Raptr, Shardines, and Zaptos approach near-optimal latency and throughput by unlocking 100% utilization of network resources, with the capacity to settle 260k transactions per second with latencies less than 800ms. The original Move language was revamped with the launch of Move 2, supporting more expressivity in smart contract logic and a scalable ability to interact with high volume datasets. The ecosystem has benefitted from strong asset inflows, now hosting over $1.3B in stablecoins, $450M in bridged BTC, and $530M in RWAs. Activity in the Aptos ecosystem has grown notably over the past year, with monthly application revenue reaching ~$835k and monthly DEX volumes growing to over $5B, both at new all time highs.
