Excited to share that @Aptos named network partner for @Bullish equity tokenization. A major step forward for bringing public markets onchain.

In March, the SEC concluded APT is a digital commodity, not a security.
Aptos Labs joined @hedera, @AvaLabs, @StellarOrg, @Cardano_CF, and @chainlink in a joint comment letter to @SECGov on proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, asking it to codify that in the rule text.
Blink and you miss it. @Aptos still the fastest, most scalable blockchain in the industry. 🏁
A blink takes ~300 ms. This video ranks L1s by block time. That is not when the tx becomes irreversible.
Block time → finality
$APT 38 ms → at commit
$FOGO 40 ms → ~1.3 s
$SUI 69 ms → at commit
$SOMI 100 ms → at commit
$SOL 269 ms → ~12.8 s
$TON 414 ms → ~0.8 s
$CRO 429 ms → at commit
$BNB 450 ms → ~0.65 s
$SEI 472 ms → at commit
$ICP 480 ms → at commit
$NEAR 589 ms → ~1.2 s
$EGLD 600 ms → ~100–250 ms intra-shard, ~2.4 s cross-shard
$KTA 686 ms → at commit
$KAIA 1 s → ~1 s
$AVAX 1.2 s → ~2 s
$FOGO is #2 on blocks, not on finality. $SOL produces a block in 269 ms and finalizes in ~12.8 s. $EGLD is #12 on cadence, not on irreversibility.
"At commit" = Chainspect shows 0 s. That is not a click-to-receipt timer.

While today's procedural vote on CLARITY didn't pass, the industry stands ready to keep working with lawmakers to provide the regulatory clarity that unlocks innovation in the US while protecting users.
Ever since our CEO @AveryChing testified before the House Agriculture Committee on the House version of CLARITY last year, it's been a privilege to be a part of the process and we're thankful to the members and their staff for their engagement, hard work, and tireless efforts.
In the meantime, we're grateful to leadership at SEC and CFTC which has the authority and tools to go a long way toward providing the clarity the industry needs.
The truth is, the crypto industry is as strong as ever - with more and more adoption and integration across financial and payments infrastructure.
The best advocates for crypto are always the products and the builders and we're excited for what gets built next!

CCTP V2 is now live on @Aptos.
Using Circle’s trusted burn-and-mint infrastructure, developers can build in a flexible way with new capabilities for faster and more programmable crosschain experiences.
→ Inbound Fast Transfers
→ Hooks and generic messaging
→ Relay support
→ Familiar CCTP primitives
Built for use cases like treasury, liquidity movement, and trading applications.

AI transactions will soon dwarf human ones across online commerce and markets. Initiatives like the Legal Context Protocol add the missing legal layer - with @Aptos as a founding member.
AI agents are transforming the future of commerce, helping people and organizations form agreements, execute services, and move value with greater speed and efficiency. But participants need to trust that transactions are understandable, accountable, and resolvable when disputes arise.
That means there needs to be a reliable way to know what was agreed, which terms applied, who authorized the agent, and what recourse exists.
Introducing the Legal Context Protocol.
This new open standard, introduced by the American Arbitration Association, Integra Ledger, and a coalition of industry leaders, including @Google, @IBM, @circle, @Wayfair, @StellarOrg, @AvaLabs, @UiPath, @Cardano, @hedera, @crossmint, @pinatacloud, @Aptos, @Baselayerhq, @trinsic_id, #FirstPersonCooperative, @Sei_Labs, and @Mysten_Labs, makes legal context discoverable and verifiable in agentic transactions.

Constructive DeFi policy starts with direct engagement.
Our legal and policy team joined @BlockchainAssn, @fund_defi, @Aave, @Uniswap, and others in Washington, DC, for a briefing with congressional staff on DeFi market structure and infrastructure.
As more financial activity moves onchain, clear policy and technical understanding matter.
Decibel is committed to building transparent, verifiable markets that can support the next era of DeFi.
Today, BA partnered with @fund_defi for a DeFi Demo briefing on Capitol Hill.
Thank you to our members @aave, @Base, and @uniswap for showcasing the functionality of DeFi protocols, and for joining the discussion on the future development and use of DeFi in the U.S.
Markets are moving onchain. Machines will be the primary participants.
@Aptos is the blockchain for markets and machines
No one is ready for what comes next

It was an honor to moderate an important discussion with two of the influential 🇺🇸 crypto leaders - @SenGillibrand and @GOPMajorityWhip (Rep Tom Emmer).
They openly shared their perspective on how American leadership on blockchain is crucial, serious progress on CLARITY (and the blockers), and the importance of DeFi as a future for American innovation.
I was impressed by their surprising candor and philosophical alignment. Bullish for making America the crypto capital of the world.
Yesterday's SEC–CFTC guidance for tokens like APT is a big deal.
@GOPMajorityWhip said it best:
"I think yesterday helps accelerate the urgency—the need—that we have to make sure that the Senate, the House, and the White House are all working in concert to move this forward."

The next great exchange was always going to be onchain.
For over a decade, traders have been forced to choose: the speed of a CEX or the transparency of a DEX. Never both.
Traders deserved better. We built better.
Decibel is LIVE!
Welcome to the new sound of trading 🔊

Congrats to the Decibel team! We're excited to support them as they launch USDCBL, their native stablecoin, powered by Bridge's Open Issuance platform.

🚨 @Bitnomial announces the launch of the first-ever U.S. Aptos (APTS) futures on Bitnomial Exchange, LLC on Jan. 14
A regulated futures market is a prerequisite for spot crypto ETF approval under the SEC's generic listing standards. Today is one step closer to a U.S. Aptos ETF.
