The Aptos Foundation has locked 210 million APT tokens, about 18% of circulating supply, and will fund its operations solely from staking rewards instead of selling tokens. This move aims to enhance network security and ensure long-term funding sustainability. Alongside this, Aptos is implementing a hard supply cap of 2.1 billion tokens, halving annual staking rewards from 5.19% to 2.6%, and increasing gas fees tenfold, with all fees burned to reduce supply. These changes are set to complete by September 2026, coinciding with the end of a four-year vesting period that will reduce monthly token unlocks by 60%, impacting token supply and staking yields for holders.
Aptos (APT) trades at Rp12,885 on Pluang as of Oct 08, 2026, 23:31 WIB, with a market cap of Rp11.24 trillion and a 1-day decline of 4.46%. Despite the foundation locking a significant portion of tokens and adjusting staking rewards, Pluang data shows active trading with 62% of orders selling and a typical hold time of 35 days. This suggests ongoing investor activity even as supply and reward dynamics evolve.
