Aptos (APT) Unlocks 11.31 Million Tokens Worth $9.06 Million on October 11

Aptos Unlocks 11.31 Million APT

Aptos (APT) will release 11.31 million tokens from its vesting schedule on Sunday, October 11, a batch that supply-tracking data values at $9.06 million. The release equals 0.64% of the released supply, which stands at 1.76 billion APT against a total cap of 2.55 billion scheduled to run through 2035. The unlock sits inside a longer vesting arrangement of the kind typically agreed at launch under a SAFT, which holds early allocations off the market on a fixed calendar rather than leaving their movement to holders' discretion. Before October 11 those 11.31 million tokens cannot move; after that date they become transferable.

Aptos is a Layer-1 blockchain platform built for scalability, security and efficiency across decentralized applications and Web3 ecosystems, running smart contracts in the Move programming language for high-throughput execution. None of that changes with the unlock; what changes is supply status, and the practical question is how the newly transferable balance is distributed. On-chain allocation records show the split: the team awards 3.96 million Aptos (APT) to core contributors, the community receives 3.21 million tokens and investors take 2.81 million, while the Aptos foundation is allocated a further 1.33 million. Together the four tranches account for the full October release. For the APT price, proportional size matters more than the headline count: at 0.64% of released supply this is among the smaller scheduled unlocks on the October calendar, though contributor tranches are historically the likeliest to reach trading desks soon after vesting opens.

A $1.11 Billion Week of Supply

The APT release lands inside an unusually crowded supply week. Early October brings roughly $1.11 billion in scheduled token unlocks across major projects, and Aptos is the third of the headline names on the calendar by value.

Ethena opened the sequence on Monday, October 5, releasing 171.88 million ENA worth $41.52 million. That batch equals 1.88% of Ethena's released supply of 9.15 billion tokens, against a 15 billion total, and it splits 93.75 million ENA to core contributors and 78.13 million to investors. ENA serves as the governance token of Ethena, a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum whose flagship product is the USDe stablecoin. Hyperliquid follows on Tuesday, October 6, with the largest single release of the week: 3.75 million HYPE worth $340 million, or 1.69% of its released supply of 474.83 million tokens against a 1 billion total. Hyperliquid operates a decentralized perpetual futures exchange on its own Layer-1, offering on-chain order books and sub-second transaction finality. The team has previously stated that the unlocked HYPE supply is destined for one institutional buyer, a detail that concentrates the flow with a single counterparty instead of spreading it across many wallets or routing it through market makers. Beyond the three headline names, unlock trackers list Aerodrome Finance (AERO), Movement (MOVE) and Babylon (BABY) among the projects adding circulating supply this week. The ENA and HYPE releases both predate the Aptos (APT) event, meaning the market will have processed two of the week's major unlocks before Aptos's own tranche becomes transferable on October 11.

What Stays Locked After October 11

Taken together, the week describes staged permissions rather than sudden dilution. The load-bearing record is the on-chain supply schedule itself: 1.76 billion of the 2.55 billion APT cap has entered circulation, and even after October 11 roughly 790 million tokens remain subject to a vesting calendar that runs to 2035. Sunday's 11.31 million tranche is a routine slice of that arrangement, and with the foundation's 1.33 million allocation delivered, the October release completes with no further cliff announced for the month.
