Aptos Hits Major Milestones, Tether and Aave Involved

Aptos, a popular blockchain outside of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem, achieved two milestones in the first week of 2025. Aave V3, a leading DeFi protocol, expanded to Aptos as its first non-EVM blockchain. This move aims to extend the protocol's reach and solve liquidity problems. Aptos uses the Move virtual machine for smart contract execution instead of the Solidity language used in EVM. This alternative virtual machine trend is expected to gain momentum in 2025. Additionally, Aptos now supports native USDT on its IDO launchpad, with almost 0.3% of the USDT liquid supply minted on the blockchain.
