- Aptos integrated into Trias global trading engine, a neobank with 500,000 users across more than 150 countries with its own custody system.
- The Aptos network recorded a record TVL of $1 billion, 10 million monthly active users and 326 million transactions in a single day.
- BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and Microsoft operate live products on the network. $APT was classified as a digital commodity under the SEC/CFTC framework in March 2026.
Triaannounced the integration of Aptos into its global trading engine, a platform that brings together more than 500,000 usersacross more than 150 countries. From now on, those users can deposit, trade and withdraw native assets from the $APT networkdirectly from the same self-custody account they already use to manage their portfolio, earn yields and pay with a Visa card at more than 150 million merchants.
According to Tria, what sets $APT apart from other networks is not its technical proposition but its institutional proposition: BlackRock chose Aptos as the only non-EVM chain for its BUIDL fund, Franklin Templeton runs its on-chain money market fund on the network and Microsoft built its institutional blockchain infrastructure on Azure with Aptos at its core. None of those projects are in a pilot phase; all operate with real capital.
The Aptos Infrastructure
The networks numbers are fundamental. Aptos reached a peak TVL of $1 billionduring 2024, representing 700% growth over the year. The market capitalization of stablecoins on the network surpassed $1.9 billionand the value of tokenized real-world assets hit an all-time high of $1.2 billion, with active deployments from BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Ondo and Apollo.
On a technical level, the network operates with block times under 50 milliseconds, finality in under one second, fees below $0.001 and 99.99% uptime. In March 2026, $APT was formally classified as a digital commodityunder the joint regulatory framework of the SEC and CFTC, paving the way for large institutional capital flows that were not previously legally viable.
One Account for All Chains
As for the benefits for Tria, the integration enables its users to trade across more than 100 chains using Aptos as a high-speed execution layer, conduct cross-chain swaps with instant settlement and no third-party bridges, and access a DeFi ecosystemthat includes on-chain derivatives and tokenized real-world assets.
The goal of both companies is to build the financial operating system for the global user: a single self-custodied account, functional on any chain, in any country and at any time.
