The ranking which was conducted by Streamr, a web3 data sharing platform ranked Aptos as the 9^th most tweeted crypto project. This was based on an analysis that looked at millions of tweets.

Reportedly, Aptos is rubbing shoulders with other major crypto networks including Bitcoin, BNB chain, and Ethereum which were at the highest ranking, respectively.

So why has Aptos received so much attention this month? Well, the first major reason is that the project was founded by Meta’s former developers.

But most of this attention was largely fueled by the network’s aggressive push into the entertainment industry. This includes its push into the movies and gaming segments.

The spotlight on Aptos growth                                         

Aptos has grown quite aggressively since the start of this year. The first key area of growth was its market cap which was as low as $448.64 million at the start of January. APT has since added roughly $1.5 billion to its market cap.

Aptos’ native cryptocurrency APT’s performance reflects the market cap situation perfectly. APT’s price delivered an impressive bounce back in Q1 2023 and has retained most of those gains despite market headwinds.

Its $11.04 press time price represented a 258% upside from its December 2022 lows.

A key takeaway from APT’s price action especially between February and March is that the selling pressure has been limited.

This is likely because most investors who bought in January are still holding on for the long term. The healthy price action also reflects the healthy development activity that the Aptos network maintained in Q1.

It is worth noting that we saw more development activity in March as evidenced by its peak in the third week of the month. The same month also registered robust social volume during the quarterly period.

The robust social volume reflects Aptos’ ranking. The higher the number of tweets, the more visible the network, hence a higher probability of more investment.
