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.

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.

Built for use cases like treasury, liquidity movement, and trading applications.

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.

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 🔊

🚨 @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.

Saw dozens of new products at Permissionless.
I think Shelby is by far the most exciting.
This is crypto's first real shot at taking on AWS.
It's a moonshot and will be very tough to build but if anyone can do it it's Jump and Aptos.
Let's get back to thinking bigger.
