Aptos, developed from Meta's Diem project, is establishing itself as a premier institutional-grade Layer 1 blockchain, focusing on regulated finance. Chief Business Officer Solomon Tesfaye revealed that Aptos supports major asset managers such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Last month, the blockchain processed $68 billion in stablecoin transactions and is among the top three for real-world asset trading volume. Utilizing Meta's Move programming language, Aptos offers high throughput and compliance, appealing to developers and institutional investors prioritizing precision and regulatory adherence. This strategic positioning underscores Aptos's commitment to serving the needs of institutional finance over retail speculation.
