Aptos (APT) has emerged as a strong competitor to Solana (SOL), capturing the attention of investors. In recent months, Aptos' on-chain performance has showcased impressive metrics, drawing increasing interest from various parties. Among them is Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan, who shared his insights on this phenomenon, highlighting the factors that make Aptos a noteworthy subject of attention.

Hougan took to social media platform X to share the latest data on the飆升 in the number of daily transactions and active addresses on the Aptos network. According to Hougan, this data stood out significantly among the various charts that he examines on a weekly basis.

One of the charts shared by Hougan reveals that the number of active addresses on the Aptos network is reaching an all-time high (ATH). This飆升 in activity serves as a strong indication of the increasing demand for the Aptos ecosystem, despite the price of APT still being down by around 50% from its previous ATH at 19.92 US Dollars (Rp310,054). Notably, however, the price of APT has surged by over 130% since hitting a low of 4.303 US Dollars (Rp66,976) in August 2024.

Currently, APT is trading in the range of 10.11 US Dollars (Rp157,362), showing a nearly 20% spike in just the past day. These figures indicate that, despite the broader crypto market experiencing turbulence, Aptos has managed to sustain its appeal and potential for growth in the future.

SEE ALSO: According to information from Daily Hodl, Aptos was launched on October 18, 2022, and utilizes an AptosBFT consensus mechanism in conjunction with the Move programming language, which is designed to maximize both transaction security and speed. Despite being a relatively new addition to the crypto landscape, Aptos has shown strong competitiveness, with rapid growth in both transaction volume and network activity.

Hougan also highlighted Base, the Ethereum layer-2 (ETH) network being developed by Coinbase, which is setting new ATHs in various blockchain metrics, including transaction count.

Furthermore, Hougan discusses the potential drivers that could contribute to a crypto market "explosion" in Q4 2024. According to Hougan, conditions such as the cutting of interest rates by the Federal Reserve, positive results from the November election, and the absence of any major negative surprises—like a large hack or legal issue—could serve as catalysts to propel the market towards new ATHs.

He also noted that the history of crypto markets is often punctuated by unexpected surprises, such as the unlocking of Bitcoin from bankrupt exchanges like Mt. Gox or the government's sale of its holdings. If these types of events can be largely avoided by the end of the year, Hougan anticipates that the crypto market could experience a significant飆升.
