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.

Investors now have a full spectrum of BTC access, from ETFs to mining stocks, corporate treasuries, and income-generating hybrids. Strategy leads with efficient leverage, while Metaplanet targets 1% of BTC supply. Miners like Marathon and Iris offer contrasting strategies, and new instruments like preferreds and convertible ETFs unlock yield and upside. The landscape is mature and diverse, the question isn’t whether to invest in BTC, but how.
