- The price of Aptos rose to $1.99 on Tuesday, gaining 8% as bulls tried to assert control.
- Grayscale announced Aptos as one of the assets under review.
- Potential ETF demand could support APT’s price.
The price of Aptos (APT) climbed more than 8% over the past 24 hours as the broader cryptocurrency market received a boost, with Bitcoin rising to around $93,500.
The Aptos token, native to the blockchain platform built on the Move programming language, is drawing renewed interest while many other altcoins register modest rebounds.
Several of these tokens, including BNB, TRON, Ethena and Hyperliquid, are listed among the assets Grayscale Investments is considering.
The firm plans to add several of these assets—potentially including Aptos—to its suite of crypto investment products.
Aptos price climbs to nearly $2
The native Aptos token traded near $1.95 at the time of writing, up more than 8% in the past 24 hours.
The altcoin sought to capitalize on a fresh bullish impulse that lifted cryptocurrencies on Tuesday following the release of the U.S. consumer price index report.
With BTC rising to $93,659 on major exchanges, APT jumped to intraday highs of $1.99.
Bulls approached the psychological $2 level, which they last defended decisively in late November 2025.
Aptos’s gains in recent sessions show buyers aiming to regain momentum, and institutional interest could reinforce that outlook.
Grayscale adds Aptos to assets under review
On Monday, Grayscale published its updated list of assets under review, and Aptos appears among the prominent altcoins the manager could add products for in the first quarter of 2026.
The list of potential future investment products also includes notable altcoins from smart contract platforms, DeFi and AI-related projects.
Including Aptos highlights the growing appeal of the platform as a scalable Layer 1 blockchain. The potential listing of new exchange-traded products (ETPs) could attract significant capital inflows.
What’s next for Aptos price?
Crypto markets have seen a choppy start to the year, with major coins failing to find sustained strength while bears test key levels.
APT, however, has largely shown a bearish bias since falling from its October highs near $5.46.
Network milestones—such as upgrades and quantum-resistant sharding aimed at improving scalability—encourage bulls to chase potential price gains.
Cross-chain bridges to ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana are also under development, which should increase interoperability and expand DeFi opportunities.
Should prices rise amid these bullish catalysts, the next target above $2 could be $4 or higher. On the downside, bears may aim for $1.50 and $1.30.
Aside from macroeconomic challenges, regulatory clarity, ETF listings and real-asset products position Aptos well for a potential push toward new highs.
