- •Aptos partners with World Liberty Financial for USD1 stablecoin launch on Oct. 6, marking its first Move-based blockchain deployment and boosting network TVL.
- •APT price climbs above $4.60 with 8% gains, testing 20-week MA for a potential breakout to $6+ as Trump Jr. hypes the integration.
- •Ecosystem support from Petra Wallet, OKX, and Thala Labs positions USD1 for immediate DeFi liquidity, challenging USDT and USDC dominance.
The crypto gods must be smiling on Aptos today. At the glitzy Token2049 conference in Singapore, Donald Trump Jr. dropped a bombshell: World Liberty Financial (WLFI)—the Trump family’s DeFi powerhouse—will unleash its USD1 stablecoin on the Aptos blockchain come October 6, 2025. This isn’t just another token drop; it’s a high-octane fusion of political clout, Move-language tech, and real‑world utility, sending APT token soaring 8% to hover above $4.60. As charting sage @CryptoMichNL notes in his latest X post, with technicals “on the edge of a big breakout” and price assaulting the 20‑week moving average, this could be the spark for a leg up to $6 or beyond.
This catapults Aptos’ stablecoin ecosystem into overdrive. Already hosting $1 billion in stables like USDT and USDC—plus BlackRock and Franklin Templeton RWAs—the network’s TVL nears $1 billion, with stables driving 40% of it. WLFI’s broader vision? Tokenized assets and a 2025 crypto debit card linking USD1 to Apple Pay, bridging TradFi and DeFi. For APT holders, it’s rocket fuel: transaction volumes could explode, mirroring USDT’s “tremendous growth” post‑launch earlier this year.
But hold the champagne—challenges abound. Aptos clings to a measly 0.35% stablecoin market share against Ethereum’s 59% Goliath. Regulatory shadows from the Trump tie‑in and liquidity hurdles for a nascent coin like USD1 loom large. Still, on‑chain metrics scream accumulation, and that 20‑week MA breach? It’s the stuff of bull dreams. Aptos isn’t chasing hype; it’s building rails for the stablecoin era. If this holds, $5 is the floor, $7 the stars. Traders, eyes on volume—history favors the bold.
