Aptos: The Solana Rival Dominating the Crypto Market in the Last 24 Hours
Is Aptos the new king of crypto? Recent reports indicate the Solana rival is surging, often being the top-performing cryptocurrency among the top 100 projects. Created by Meta descendants, Aptos (APT) is turning heads and capturing significant market attention.
Aptos Outpaces Solana and More
Several sources highlight Aptos' impressive performance. On January 10, 2025, Aptos (APT) was noted as the top-performing cryptocurrency among the top-100 projects, rallying by 40.2% in the last 24 hours. Earlier, on January 16, 2025, it was reported that Solana (SOL) competitor Aptos was the best-performing crypto, up by a remarkable 106% at press time on the seven-day chart. The trend continued with reports on September 5, 2025, further emphasizing Aptos' position as a leading cryptocurrency.
Transaction Volume and Adoption
Aptos isn't just about price; it's also seeing impressive transaction volume. On May 25, 2025, it was reported that the Tapos Cat game drove 10 million transactions in the first 24 hours on Aptos. In fact, Aptos achieved a new milestone, surpassing Solana by recording 96.6 million transactions. This demonstrates significant user activity and adoption on the Aptos blockchain.
A Potential Solution for Traditional Finance?
BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes believes that Aptos (APT), this layer-1 blockchain, is capable of solving many problems for the traditional finance (TradFi) world. This endorsement from a prominent figure in the crypto space adds further credibility to Aptos' potential.
Solana Still a Force, But Aptos is Rising
While Solana remains a significant player, with reports indicating it even overtook the entire Ethereum ecosystem in daily decentralized-exchange trading on April 20, 2025, moving more value in the last 24 hours than Ethereum and all of its associated platforms, Aptos is clearly a rising star and a strong competitor.
Keep an eye on Aptos (APT) as it continues to develop and potentially reshape the crypto landscape. Other notable cryptocurrencies showing positive performance, such as Flare (FLR) and Fasttoken (FTN) on October 3, 2025, further illustrate the dynamic nature of the market. However, Aptos' consistent top performance positions it as a key player to watch.
