- The price of Aptos rose to $1.99 on Tuesday, gaining 8% as bullish momentum strengthened.
- Grayscale has announced Aptos as one of the assets under consideration.
- Potential demand for ETFs could help boost APT’s price.
The price of Aptos (APT) climbed more than 8% over the past 24 hours as the broader crypto market rallied, with Bitcoin pushing toward $93,500.
Aptos’ native token, which powers a blockchain built around the Move programming language, is attracting renewed interest as many altcoins post modest gains.
Several of these tokens, including BNB, TRON, Ethena and Hyperliquid, appear on the list of assets being reviewed by Grayscale Investments.
Grayscale plans to expand its suite of crypto investment products, and Aptos may be added to that roster.
Aptos price climbs to nearly $2
At the time of writing, Aptos was trading around $1.95, up more than 8% over the past 24 hours.
The altcoin benefitted from the broader upward momentum that hit markets Tuesday after the release of the US consumer price index report.
As BTC rose to $93,659 on major exchanges, APT touched highs near $1.99.
Bulls pushed close to the psychological $2 level, a threshold last decisively tested in November 2025.
Recent session gains have buyers targeting a return to winning territory, and increased institutional interest could reinforce that outlook.
Grayscale adds Aptos to its list of considered assets
Grayscale published an updated list of assets under consideration on Monday, and Aptos is among the leading altcoins the asset manager may add to its investment products in Q1 2026.
The list includes prominent tokens across smart contract platforms, DeFi and artificial intelligence sectors.
Including Aptos highlights the platform’s growing appeal as a scalable Layer-1 blockchain, and potential listings of new exchange-traded products (ETPs) could draw significant capital inflows.
What’s next for Aptos’ price?
Crypto markets have been volatile this year, as major coins face resistance while bears apply pressure around key levels.
Aptos has traded with a largely bearish bias since peaking at $5.46 in October, but recent developments suggest a possible shift.
Network milestones such as a quantum-resistant upgrade and sharding aimed at improving scalability give bulls reasons to capitalize on price rallies.
Cross-chain bridges to ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana are also in development, which should enhance interoperability and support DeFi growth.
If price momentum continues amid these bullish catalysts, the next upside targets after breaking $2 would be $4 or higher. Conversely, bearish scenarios point to support near $1.50 and $1.30.
Beyond macroeconomic headwinds, regulatory clarity, ETF prospects and tangible on-chain progress position Aptos to potentially reach new highs.
