Binance Research Explores Why Aptos is Booming Right Now

$APT Goes From $4 to $16 in January

Why is the Aptos coin outperforming the crypto market so far in 2023? Binance Research dove into that question in a recent Twitter thread, discussing developments from the new layer-1 blockchain, the rise of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on Aptos, and new Binance liquidity pools.

According to CoinGecko, the price of $APT has increased from below $4 at the beginning of January to more than $16 as of the time of publication, a 4x increase.

While some investors have attributed the boom in $APT to price manipulation from whales, Binance Research observes that Aptos Co-Founders Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching recently held an AMA where they announced many upcoming developments and community outreach events.

Binance Research also noted increased activity in regard to Aptos NFTs, as collectors try to get into the space early. (Check out the top 10 NFTs on Aptos, as reported previously by BSC News.)

Also, Binance opened two new liquidity pools, pairing $APT with $BTC and $USDT.
