Following the news, Aptos native APT token jumped 8% to $4.56 as of press time, according to CryptoSlate’s data.
According to Aptos, USD1 will officially go live on Oct. 6 with support across major ecosystem players.
The BNB Chain dominates issuance, accounting for more than $2.13 billion—or 79%—of the supply. Ethereum follows with $326.8 million, while Solana and Tron host $175 million and $53 million, respectively.
For Aptos, the integration comes at a critical moment. The network currently supports around $1 billion in stablecoin value, ranking ninth among blockchain protocols with strong stablecoin activity.
According to him, the company is exploring tokenized assets and short-term bills, with USD1 positioned as the stable settlement layer for those products. He argued that tokenized instruments demand a stablecoin with transparency and credibility, and WLFI aims to fill that role.
