Aptos Shatters Records: 500,000 New Accounts and 4.37 Million Transactions on EXPO2025 Digital Wallet

Aptos just flexed serious muscle—scaling new heights while traditional finance still debates whether blockchain is a 'phase'. The network's EXPO2025 digital wallet isn't just gaining users; it's swallowing them whole.

Half a million fresh accounts jumped onboard. That’s not growth—that’s an invasion.

And the transactions? A staggering 4.37 million. Not bad for a platform that’s basically giving legacy banking systems a masterclass in efficiency.

No fluff, no empty promises—just raw, undeniable traction. While Wall Street analysts scratch their heads over 'crypto volatility,' Aptos is busy building the infrastructure for the next financial revolution.

Let’s be real—half a million new users in this market isn’t a milestone; it’s a statement. And 4.37 million transactions? That’s not activity—that’s adoption.

Maybe the suits in traditional finance will finally notice when their own systems start looking… outdated.

Aptos Labs, a core contributor to the Aptos Layer-1 blockchain and the blockchain infrastructure provider for the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET, today announced a major milestone: the wallet has attracted over 500,000 new accounts and processed more than 4.37 million transactions on the Aptos blockchain as of August 18, 2025. 

This surge in activity reflects both the rise in Expo visitors during Japan’s peak summer holiday season and the growing willingness of participants to embrace digital experiences seamlessly powered by Web3 technologies.

In line with Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan’s mission to spotlight future technologies and foster global collaboration, the EXPO2025 Digital Wallet demonstrates how blockchain can enable intuitive, user-friendly interactions while unlocking new opportunities for engagement and innovation. 

“The strength of the Aptos network is on full display with the success of the EXPO2025 Digital Wallet,” said. “Half a million accounts and millions of transactions show how Aptos can power delightful, real-world experiences at global scale. This is what mass adoption of Web3 looks like — seamless, secure, and accessible to everyone.”

This milestone also follows the successful conclusion of the Aptos EXPO Memorial Stamp Rally on August 17, 2025. Conducted in collaboration with multiple Web3 partners, the campaign further highlighted how the wallet can drive large-scale, real-world adoption of Web3 without compromising the familiarity and ease of traditional digital platforms.

As the Expo enters its final two months, Aptos Labs and its partners remain committed to expanding real-world use cases and bringing Web3 into everyday life — not only for the Expo itself, but also across Japan more broadly.
