Aptos RWA Skyrockets 56% in One Month – Now #3 Behind zkSync and Ethereum

Aptos just pulled off a stunner—its real-world asset (RWA) valuation exploded by 56% in 30 days, catapulting it to third place in the rankings. Only zkSync and Ethereum sit higher now.

The RWA Gold Rush Isn’t Slowing Down

While traditional finance still debates tokenization, chains like Aptos are eating their lunch. No paperwork, no intermediaries—just raw, auditable value moving at blockchain speed.

Why This Matters

Ethereum’s still the king, but the gap’s narrowing. zkSync’s lead looks safer (for now), but Aptos’ surge proves mid-tier chains can punch above their weight when they nail product-market fit.

The Bottom Line

Wall Street’s ‘blockchain pilots’ keep missing deadlines—meanwhile, Aptos just delivered a masterclass in execution. Maybe banks should try moving at crypto speed instead of PowerPoint speed.

RWAs within Aptos track 13 distinct assets and 2,433 holders. However, despite the RWA momentum, its stablecoin segment is shrinking. The stablecoin market cap fell 5.17% to $1.24 billion, while holder count dropped 14.68% to 1.62 million.

Shelby Cloud Platform Boosts Web3 Utility

Besides its RWA progress, Aptos Labs and Jump crypto recently unveiled Shelby, a decentralized cloud storage solution. Powered by Aptos’ scalable architecture, Shelby supports Ethereum, Solana, and other top blockchains.

Moreover, Shelby offers cloud-like speed and is tailored for heavy-demand apps like AI, DePIN, and streaming services. Pranav Raval, Aptos’ lead engineer, said Shelby lets developers keep full control of data and costs. The cloud solution competes directly with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
