- Aptos price rose to $1.99 on Tuesday, gaining 8% as bulls sought to strengthen their position.
- Grayscale announced Aptos as one of the assets under consideration.
- Potential demand from an ETF could support APT’s price.
The price of Aptos (APT) climbed more than 8% over the past 24 hours as the broader cryptocurrency market picked up momentum and Bitcoin rallied toward $93,500.
The Aptos token, native to a blockchain platform built on that programming language, has benefited from renewed interest while many other altcoins showed modest recoveries.
Several of these tokens, including BNB, TRON, Ethena and Hyperliquid, appear on the list of assets Grayscale Investments is considering.
The asset manager plans to add a number of these tokens—potentially including Aptos—to its suite of crypto investment products.
Aptos price jumps to nearly $2
At the time of writing, the Aptos native token was trading around $1.95, marking a gain of over 8% in the last 24 hours.
The altcoin aimed to capitalize on a fresh bullish impulse that hit the crypto market Tuesday after the U.S. consumer price index report was released.
As BTC climbed to $93,659 on major exchanges, APT briefly reached highs of $1.99.
Bulls approached the psychological $2 threshold, a level last convincingly tested in late November 2025.
Aptos’s gains in recent sessions indicate buyers are targeting a return to upward momentum, and institutional interest could help reinforce that outlook.
Grayscale adds Aptos to its list of assets under consideration
Grayscale published an updated list of assets under consideration on Monday, and Aptos appears among the top altcoins the asset manager may add to investment products in the first quarter of 2026.
The prospective product roster also includes major altcoins tied to smart contracts, DeFi and artificial intelligence.
Aptos’s inclusion highlights the platform’s growing appeal as a scalable layer-1 blockchain, and potential new exchange-traded products could attract meaningful capital inflows.
What’s next for Aptos price?
The crypto markets began the year in a volatile fashion, with many leading coins struggling to sustain gains and bears probing key support levels.
Since its decline from a $5.46 peak in October, Aptos has largely faced negative price pressure.
Nevertheless, network milestones—such as a quantum-resistant upgrade and sharding aimed at enhancing scalability—have given bulls reasons to chase potential upside.
Cross-chain bridges to ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana are also under development, which could improve interoperability and expand DeFi activity.
With these bullish catalysts, a successful push above $2 would open targets higher; on the downside, bears could test $1.50 and $1.30.
Despite macroeconomic headwinds, regulatory clarity, potential ETFs and real-world asset integrations position Aptos to pursue new highs if market conditions remain favorable.
