Aptos (APT) Jumps 4% as Token Clears $5 Barrier on Elevated Volume

APT, the native token of the Aptos blockchain, climbed over 4% on Tuesday, reclaiming ground above the $5 psychological resistance in a strong show of technical momentum. The move was supported by a noticeable increase in trading volume, according to CoinDesk Research’s analysis.
