June ended with some RECORD-BREAKING numbers for Aptos!
Let me break down everything that happened this month 
Protocol Upgrades
On June 30, all APT balances began migrating to the new Fungible Asset (FA) token standard, retiring the legacy Coin model.
This unified FA upgrade improves safety, composability and performance across wallets, exchanges and DeFi protocols.
Ecosystem Growth
RWAs on Aptos surged past $540M on-chain, making Aptos a Top-3 blockchain for RWAs!
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI token are leading this charge.
DeFi is BOOMING!
On June 30, Aptos DEX trading hit a record >$205M in one day.
This growth is fueled by new infrastructure like Hyperion and the onboarding of $USDT.
Upbit (South Korea’s largest exchange) enabled USDT on Aptos starting June 18, significantly widening Aptos’ market access in Asia. Huge for global adoption!
Partnerships & Launches
On June 16, Aptos partnered with Chainalysis to integrate on-chain intelligence (labeling malicious actors) into compliance tools.
Making the ecosystem safer for everyone!
The most exciting tech launch:
AptosLabs and JumpCrypto unveiled “Shelby” on June 24 – a decentralized cloud‐speed storage network for data-intensive Web3 apps (video, AI, DePIN) built on Aptos.
Other launches worth noting: Aave is now on Aptos testnet!
This and many other projects showcase the growing ecosystem momentum. The future is bright!

Aptos held several major events in June. From June 24–26 the “Aptos Arena” at Permissionless IV (Miami) showcased amazing builders and projects. The energy was insane!
