Aptos Gains $500M in New BUIDL Deposits

Aptos has added another $500 million in BUIDL deposits, propelling it back into the top three real-world asset (RWA) blockchains by total value locked. The surge reflects growing investor confidence in Aptos’s RWA initiatives, which focus on tokenizing tangible assets like U.S. Treasury bills and other yield-bearing instruments. The influx of capital follows renewed activity in the BUIDL ecosystem, where institutional players and DeFi users are seeking safer, on-chain exposure to real-world yields. This momentum highlights Aptos’s strategic positioning in the rapidly expanding RWA sector, a segment that bridges traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure. The network’s strong performance underscores increasing demand for secure, scalable platforms that can support institutional-grade tokenized assets.
