[Special attention] Is there no pressure for APTOS price rise? Let's see the analysis

HuobiPublished on 2022-10-27Last updated on 2022-10-28

Abstract

After APTOS was launched into the mainstream exchanges, the market performance was strong and a breakthrough was planned.

The valuation of the public chain Aptos will reach 2.75 billion dollars if it is not online. The goal of the public chain Aptos is to build a scalable, secure, trusted and scalable smart contract platform.

Unlike Ethereum, which focuses on decentralization and security, Solana extends its performance to the extreme. Aptos tries to find a more balanced position between the two.

With the launch of the main network Aptos Autumn on October 17, the head exchanges simultaneously support the online trading of APT. The Layer1 public chain project APTOS expects that the TPS can reach 160000, and the project ushers in a period of rapid development.

It is worth noting that APTOS is an L1 blockchain, aiming to become the most secure and scalable blockchain in history. At the same time, Aptos was developed by former Meta employees, and its own popularity has become the focus of recent market attention. Of course, the core of its technological innovation is Move, which is based on Rust and can be said to be the fastest network application programming language in the world.

1. Price performance

On October 19, after APTOS was listed and traded in Huabi Global, its price showed a strong performance. After rebounding from the daily level of $7.31, the price rose to the highest level of $10.29.

2. TVL value recovery

After APTOS was listed on the main exchange, its TVL on the chain also increased rapidly. According to the data on October 27, the data on the APTOS chain showed that there was a locked position worth US $28.69 million, an increase of 726% compared with the 3.47 million on October 21. Among them, AUX Exchange and LiquidSwap have the largest lock positions, reaching 16.96 million US dollars and 11.14 million US dollars, accounting for 97.9% of the total.

3. Aptos Token Economics

At 15:37 Taiwan time, Aptos officially announced its token economy overview on Twitter. The initial total supply of APT was 1 billion. The detailed token allocation is as follows:

Community:

51.02%, 510217359767 (510 million) pieces

Core contributors:

19.00%, 1900000000000 (190 million) pieces

Aptos Foundation:

16.50%, 165000000000 (165 million) pieces

investor:

13.48%, 134782640233 (134 million) pieces

Some 410217359767 (410 million) APTs of the community are held by the Aptos Foundation, and the remaining 100000000 (100 million) APTs are held by Aptos Labs.

In addition, the Aptos Foundation will distribute 410 million tokens within ten years in three types of situations:

125000000 APT (125 million) for ecosystem projects, grants and other community growth plans in support of community categories

5000000 APT to support Aptos Foundation's programs for foundation categories

The remaining 1/120 part of the community and foundation allocated is expected to be unlocked linearly every month in the next 10 years

The number of tokens held by investors is relatively small, accounting for 13.48% of the total number of tokens held, which is 134 million APTs.

From the perspective of the holding time of token holders, the lock in period of core contributors and investors is 4 years.

From the launch of the main network, all investors and current core contributors have a four-year unlocking period. The detailed unlocking conditions are as follows: no $APT will be unlocked in the first 12 months;

3/48 APTs will be unlocked every month from the 13th month to the 18th month (including the 18th month) after the release of the main website;

After the 19th month after the release of the main website, 1/48 APTs will be unlocked every month;

All APT tokens will be fully unlocked four years after the main network is launched.

Therefore, judging from the selling pressure, the market selling pressure of APT has not changed much since the launch of APT in major exchanges recently. In terms of trading volume, APT's trading volume after October 24 was in a shrinking state, which means that APT's price performance was relatively stable. From October 19 to October 24, APT continued to rise in volume, with the closing price rising by 9.32%. After the short-term shrinkage is over, we can continue to focus on low absorption opportunities and wait for the price to break through.

Has the Crypto Utopia Collapsed? The Industry Reaches an Inflection Point After the Frenzy Subsides

Has the crypto utopia collapsed? The industry is at an inflection point as the hype fades. The prevailing view is that crypto has become an outlet for excess liquidity, with many participants leaving as financial returns have fallen short of past-decade expectations. The 2021 boom has been revealed as an illusion, placing the industry in the "trough of disillusionment" on Gartner's Hype Cycle. This forces a return to first principles: re-evaluating token value, securing DeFi protocols, and finding real-world applications. The core failure is a repetitive cycle of reflexive speculation, driven by the premature liquidity of tokens. The industry's incentives prioritized short-term gains over genuine innovation. While curiosity drives invention, recent DeFi hacks signal a need for engineering and iteration, including token models. The culture is shifting; the industry is no longer in its early stages. Positioned at a turning point on the technology adoption curve, crypto faces the immense challenge of rebuilding finance from scratch, a process of inevitable iteration and failure. Regarding crypto VC, claims of its death are overstated. The exceptional returns of 2016-2021 were an anomaly. The initial crypto-anarchist ethos has largely been co-opted by Wall Street and regulators. The utopian vision is over; the industry is being assimilated into the existing system, becoming a business. Current viable project categories include stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenized assets/RWA, perpetual contracts, and AI/agent integration. Crypto is converging with fintech, far from the envisioned DeFi revolution, and must find killer apps within regulatory boundaries. A reconciliation is possible: cryptocurrency may change value storage and transfer in subtle, imperceptible ways that integrate into existing systems, rather than through revolutionary fanfare. True creativity often emerges from adversity. There remains much to build for those driven by genuine curiosity.

Lei Jun Earns 7 Billion in One Day from CXMT's IPO? Xiaomi Executive Responds

On July 28th, Changxin Technology's stock price on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board experienced minor fluctuations. The company had made a historic market debut the previous day, becoming the first A-share stock to record a single-day trading volume exceeding 1 trillion yuan. This led to significant paper gains for its strategic investors. Among them, Xiaomi's wholly-owned subsidiary was allocated 18.24 million shares with an initial investment of approximately 158 million yuan. Reports estimated a paper profit of 717 million yuan for Xiaomi founder Lei Jun based on his shareholding structure. However, a Xiaomi executive clarified that this was a corporate investment and should not be conflated with personal wealth. Other major beneficiaries included Alibaba and Nio. Alibaba, an early investor, held nearly a 5% stake through two entities, with an estimated paper gain exceeding 160 billion yuan. Nio, participating in the strategic placement, also saw substantial paper returns. Additionally, state-owned banks and insurance institutions that invested in Changxin recorded potential gains in the hundreds of billions. Conversely, companies like Country Garden reportedly missed out on nearly 50 billion yuan in potential gains after divesting their stakes before the IPO due to liquidity pressures. The article notes that these are paper profits based on the listing price, as the allocated shares are subject to lock-up periods, and final realized gains will depend on future stock performance. An employee from Changxin Technology commented that ordinary staff remain focused on their salaries and benefits rather than the market hype.

Selling Tokens or Selling Outcomes: Several Paradoxes of the AI Business Model

"The Token vs. Outcome Sale: Key Paradoxes in the AI Business Model By mid-2026, the AI industry shows rapid growth in revenue and token usage, yet the underlying business models differ significantly. This article analyzes four structural paradoxes defining the current landscape, all pointing to the commoditization of intelligence and the concentration of profits in few segments. **The Cost Paradox: Cheaper Tokens, Heavier Bills** Despite a >95% price drop for equivalent AI capability since 2023, total spending has skyrocketed due to the Jevons Paradox: lower prices expand usage into previously uneconomical tasks. Furthermore, the shift to autonomous agents operating 24/7 multiplies consumption. However, efficiency gains often remain unrealized due to unchanged organizational workflows (the Solow Paradox). The focus is shifting from optimizing token price to optimizing the task itself. **The Hierarchy Paradox: The App is King vs. The App is Dead** While conventional wisdom holds that value accrues at the application layer, the AI stack is inverted. Infrastructure (chips) captures ~70% of industry revenue and ~80% of gross profit, while application-layer margins are thin (0-30%). Fast-evolving base models threaten "thin" apps. Sustainable applications are those that embed intelligence into specific contexts, possessing private data, workflows, or delivery capabilities that become more valuable as the base model improves. **The Responsibility Paradox: Profit Follows Accountability** Growth rates alone don't guarantee profit. A key differentiator is a company's willingness and ability to take responsibility for specific outcomes. Selling by the token competes for IT budgets; selling by the outcome (e.g., a resolved support ticket) taps into larger human labor budgets. Low-responsibility, high-volume tasks (e.g., generic客服) face commoditization. High-stakes, regulated domains (e.g., law, healthcare) where vendors assume heavier liability for results command higher margins, as seen with companies like Harvey in legal tech. **The Open-Source Paradox: Open Wins Traffic, Closed Wins Revenue** Open-source models dominate in usage share and developer adoption, often being 5-20x cheaper. However, closed-source models still capture the majority of enterprise spending (~89%). Enterprises pay a premium for closed-source reliability, support, compliance, and accountability. The total cost of ownership (TCO) is converging as closed-source prices fall faster than open-source builds trust, leading to hybrid deployments. Profit is migrating from the model layer itself to upstream (compute) and downstream (orchestration, data, services)."
