Aptos surpassed $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) in late March 2025, marking a 700 percent increase since early 2024. Transactions on top protocols—Aries Markets, Amnis Finance, and Echo Protocol—drove this growth: Aries led with over $400 million in TVL, while Echo Protocol’s BTC-restaking services added $205 million.
Growth Drivers: High-yield stablecoin farming (up to 70 percent APR) and novel yield strategies from PACT and Echelon.
Risk Factors: Concentration risk in dominant protocols and nascent audit coverage for new DeFi launches.
Tactic: Allocate 5–8 percent of portfolio to diversified Aptos DeFi LPs, favoring protocols with multi-audit reports and robust TVL growth.
