$GRVT As regulatory efforts regarding cryptocurrencies continue in the US, an organization representing six cryptocurrency projects has launched a joint initiative to clarify the legal status of digital commodities. Accordingly, Chainlink Labs (link), Hedera (HBAR), Aptos Labs (APT), Ava Labs (AVAX), Stellar Foundation (XLM), and Cardano Foundation (ADA) have requested the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to explicitly state in its regulations the approach to treating digital commodities separately from securities. Organizations want the SEC to add a direct definition of digital commodities to its proposed regulation of crypto assets, thereby reducing legal uncertainty in the sector. Let the Definition of Digital Commodities Be Included in Binding Regulations! At the heart of the debate is the SEC’s approach to classifying crypto assets, published in March. Six organizations argue that this approach should be incorporated into formal regulatory provisions, rather than merely being included in explanatory texts. The tokens involved include Chainlink, Hedera, Aptos, Avalanche, Stellar, and Cardano. In their letter, these six companies and foundations argue that the SEC should incorporate the crypto classification criteria it published in March into official rules to reduce regulatory uncertainty. The basis of the organizations’ request is, in particular, the view that a crypto asset being the subject of an investment contract should not, in itself, transform that asset into a security. The aim here is to clarify that even if a digital commodity is the subject of an investment contract, the asset itself is not a security. The group also wants the SEC to clearly state that a new rule will not alter existing cryptocurrency classifications or change the scope of oversight or the boundaries between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It is not yet clear whether the SEC will accept these requests. Changes to the final regulation could affect the operations of digital asset projects in the US and the regulatory framework of the crypto market. *This is not investment advice.

🔴 $APTUSDT — BEARISH MARKET SETUP Pair: APT/USDT Perpetual Current Price: 0.8206 USDT 24H Change: +4.94% 24H Volume: $25.27M APT is showing strong upward movement, but a sharp rally can lose momentum when buyers struggle to push prices higher. I’m watching for a potential shift in market control rather than assuming the bullish momentum will last. 📉 My Focus: If buying pressure starts fading and APT faces rejection at higher prices, sellers could gain the upper hand and trigger a downside move. A clear loss of momentum would strengthen the bearish outlook, while continued buying strength could keep the rally alive.$APT $BTC $ETH

$GRVT Aptos Is the Coin to Watch Today — $0.82, Up 8.46% in 24 Hours Aptos ($APT) trades at $0.8222, up 8.46% in 24 hours, the largest single-day gain among large-cap layer-1s on Oct. 20. The token has climbed 50.3% from its Sept. 15 close of $0.5496, per CoinGecko data through 19:35 UTC. Bitcoin sits at $82,431, just below $83,000, while $APT leads the altcoin tape. Two supply-and-throughput shifts are behind the move, and neither is a one-day story. On Oct. 12 the network finished its four-year insider and investor unlock, which cut monthly token emissions by roughly 60%. On Oct. 15, Aptos Labs flipped Block-STM v2 on by default. The first event changes how much new $APT enters the market; the second changes how much the chain can process. The move: $APT is up 8.46% in 24 hours to $0.8222 and up 50.3% from its Sept. 15 close. The supply catalyst: the four-year unlock ended Oct. 12, cutting monthly emissions roughly 60%. The tech catalyst: Block-STM v2 now runs by default, lifting peak throughput to 1,308 TPS. The risk: stablecoin liquidity on Aptos fell 17.5% to about $910 million — the rally is supply-led, not demand-led. Prices from CoinGecko, timestamped 19:35 UTC Oct. 20, 2026. $APT’s 24-hour range is $0.7507 to $0.8338, so the token is closing the session near its daily high, not fading it. The Supply Flip: Unlock Ends, Emissions Drop 60% $APT’s price history is a dilution story. The token peaked at $19.92 in January 2023 and now trades 95.87% below that, not because the network failed but because a four-year vesting schedule steadily expanded supply. Circulating supply now stands at 883.2 million $APT, with total supply at 1.21 billion and a hard cap of 2.1 billion, per CoinGecko. That schedule ended on Oct. 12. Monthly emissions dropped from roughly 11.3 million tokens to 4.5 million — a 60% cut — as we covered in Aptos Insider Vesting Ends, Issuance Drops 60%. The math matters. At $0.8222, the removed supply equals 6.8 million tokens a month, or about $5.59 million in monthly sell pressure that no longer needs to be absorbed. Annualized, that is roughly $67 million less new supply at current prices. The market priced the end of the unlock for weeks, which is the classic pattern: traders front-run a known supply cut. The data shows it. $APT closed at $0.5496 on Sept. 15 and at $0.9042 on Oct. 11 before the unlock date, a 64.5% run into the event, then pulled back to $0.7702 by Oct. 18. The 8.46% gain on Oct. 20 is the market re-pricing after the supply event actually cleared. Block-STM v2 Runs by Default Block-STM, developed by @AptosLabs researchers, has run parallel execution on Aptos since mainnet. Other chains build on it, and Block-STM v2 now runs by default on Aptos. The idea: run transactions in parallel, redo only what conflicts. — Aptos (@Aptos) October 15, 2026 The second leg of the catalyst is technical. Block-STM is Aptos’s parallel execution engine — it runs transactions concurrently and re-executes only the ones that conflict, rather than processing the whole block in sequence. Block-STM v2 now runs by default on mainnet, which Aptos Labs frames as a throughput and scalability upgrade. It builds on earlier speed work: Aptos reached sub-50ms block times in late 2025, and Block-STM v2 is the execution-layer follow-through on that promise. Aptos Labs co-founder Avery Ching put it in supply-side terms. “Dynamic parallelism is based on two things: Block-STM and pipelined infrastructure, both of which we pioneered,” Ching said in the Aptos Foundation’s technical roadmap. “Today, with the arrival of Block-STM v2, we’re reinforcing our commitment to advancing parallelism and scaling Web3.” On-chain numbers back the upgrade’s immediate effect. Peak transactions per second hit 1,308 after the rollout, with real-time throughput around 174 TPS, according to on-chain data cited in coverage of the launch. The distinction between the theoretical peak and the sustained number is the difference between what the engine can do and what demand actually asks of it — a gap the market has not yet closed. NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin, who discussed the upgrade with Aptos Labs’ head of research, summed the technical deep-dive up in three words: “It was a good deep dive.” The 30-day chart above, built from CoinGecko data, shows the structure. $APT’s late-August low of $0.511 is the floor the whole rally started from — the token is up 60.8% from that level. The Oct. 11 swing high of $0.9042 is the first resistance a sustained move has to clear, and the 24-hour high of $0.8338 is the near-term level to watch. Support sits at the 24-hour low of $0.7507, which lines up with the Oct. 17-18 consolidation around $0.77 to $0.79. A daily close below $0.75 would invalidate the immediate rebound and reopen the $0.51 range. Above, a confirmed daily close over $0.83 opens the way to retest $0.90. Put the market-cap math on top of those levels. At $0.8222 and a $726.2 million market cap, a 2x to $1.64 implies a $1.45 billion valuation — a move that is supply-constrained, not demand-constrained, because total supply already sits at 1.21 billion against a 2.1 billion cap. To return to the $19.92 all-time high from January 2023, $APT needs a 24x move from here, not the simple price gap the headline suggests. A $1,000 position at $0.8222 buys about 1,216 $APT; a return to $2 turns that into about $2,432, and a return to the 2023 peak turns it into about $24,227. Those are the numbers, not a price target.
