stablecoins on @Aptos crossed the line into actual infrastructure. you can see it clearly in the numbers now at $1.8B ATH.

moving stablecoins costs roughly $0.00003 per transfer, so fees stop being something Aptos users think about at all.

once fees disappear, usage patterns change.

→ people stop batching transfers

→ apps stop forcing minimum sizes

→ platforms can subsidize gas without even noticing it on the balance sheet

at scale, gas becomes a customer acquisition lever. that’s why the real growth showed up in payments and remittances first.

I like how they rolled out Yellow Card for gas-sponsored stablecoin transfers across 20 African countries, covering fees on behalf of users.

it’s a smart move to onboard users where remittance fees are usually among the highest in the world.

and the ecosystem wasn’t built around just one stablecoin.

– USDT and USDC laid the base

– PYUSD, USDG, USD1 showed up

– BlackRock’s BUIDL anchored the RWA lane

– yield-bearing stables started plugging into DeFi

– wallets and exchanges added native support

iykyk, once the base layer is in place, the ecosystem starts expanding naturally.

stablecoins turn into collateral, margin for perps, cash legs for arbitrage, liquidity for everything.

I believe the bigger game on #Aptos is probably coming faster than many are ready for.
