Aptos unlocks 11.31 million APT tokens as tokenomics transition begins
CIE News ·
Aptos unlocked 11.31 million APT valued between $9.06 million and $9.5 million on October 11, concluding its primary recurring steep vesting cycle before monthly unlock reductions take effect.
Layer-1 blockchain network Aptos unlocked approximately 11.31 million APT tokens on October 11, 2026, representing about 0.64% of the asset's circulating supply. Valued between $9.06 million and $9.5 million, the tokens were distributed across foundation, community, core contributor, and early investor allocations. CoinMarketCap reported that APT gained approximately 13% over 24 hours around the release date amid heightened trader positioning. The unlock concludes the project's primary steep vesting cycle, preceding an approved tokenomics framework that sets a 2.1 billion hard cap and cuts monthly recurring unlocks by roughly 60% after October 12.
