USD1's arrival on Aptos quickly resonated with the market. According to market data, the price of Aptos' native token, APT, increased by 8% to $4.56 following the news.

USD1 will now be on the Aptos network

USD1 will officially launch on Aptos on October 6th. Upon launch, the stablecoin will integrate with leading DeFi protocols such as Echelon Market and Hyperion. Additionally, wallets like Petra and Backpack, as well as major exchanges like OKX and Bitget, will immediately support USD1.

USD1 is designed for low-cost and fast transactions. Its 1:1 redeemability with the US dollar strengthens trust. The stablecoin was already available on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. With Aptos's addition to this list, USD1 will now be on the fifth network.

According to DeFiLlama data, USD1's total market capitalization is approximately $2.68 billion. The majority of this is on BNB Chain, with a supply of $2.13 billion. Ethereum has a supply of $326.8 million, Solana has $175 million, and Tron has a supply of $53 million.

Aptos' Strategic Position

The integration of USD1 comes at a critical time for Aptos. There is currently approximately $1 billion in stablecoin value on the network, placing Aptos ninth in terms of stablecoin activity.

Additionally, USDC transfers are rapidly increasing on the network. According to Token Terminal data, USDC transaction volume has increased by 400% since the first quarter of 2025. In the third quarter alone, USDC transfers reached $25.8 billion. This figure demonstrates that stablecoin demand is increasingly concentrated in Aptos.

WLFI executives consider the Aptos expansion part of a broader strategy. Speaking at the Token2049 event in Singapore, the company's CEO, Zach Witkoff, stated that the stablecoin push is just the beginning. Witkoff emphasized that the company is also working on tokenized assets and short-term financial products, and that USD1 will be a reliable payment layer for these products.

WLFI's goal is to support DeFi products globally through a stablecoin that provides transparency and reliability. Witkoff summarized the company's vision by saying, "We are laying the foundation for a next-generation financial infrastructure developed in the US and opening up to the world."

Aptos CEO Avery Ching stated that the addition of USD1 to the network is a significant step, noting that the platform stands out with its fast transaction times and low costs. According to Ching, Aptos aims to compete specifically with stablecoin-centric giants like Tron and Ethereum. As of today, Ethereum leads the stablecoin market with 59%. Tron, however, holds a strong market share thanks to USDT's dominance. While Aptos has a small market share of just 0.35%, it stands out for hosting stablecoins like USDT, USDC, PayPal USD, and Ethena USD.
