In the 2026 digital asset outlook, Aptos has become a key focus. The public chain continues to make breakthroughs in technological innovation, with ecosystem protocols such as Hyperion and Thala Labs maturing steadily, demonstrating a solid development foundation. More notably, the explosion of the real-world asset tokenization (RWA) track— in 2025, the RWA market size reached a record high of $1.2 billion, with leading institutions like BlackRock's BUIDL product and Pact Finance dominating RWA solutions as growth engines. All these signs indicate that the Aptos ecosystem has upgraded from early exploration to large-scale application, especially in its competitive edge in connecting traditional financial assets with on-chain liquidity.
