Aptos’ partnership with Yellow Card raised expectations for a potential recovery in APT’s price. The integration focuses on mobile-driven African markets and will allow instant USDT and USDC transfers without gas fees, settling in under a second. Africa remains the fastest-growing stablecoin market globally, with 54 million users in Sub-Saharan Africa alone. This demand, combined with efficient digital infrastructure, could drive new retail transaction volume to the network.
11.31 Million Aptos (APT) Tokens to Be Unlocked on July 12
Despite a 36% increase in on-chain volume over the past 30 days and 172 million transactions processed in that time, APT’s price fell 7.9% to $4.37. Technical analysis identifies a support zone between $4.40 and $4.45. Some investors anticipate a bullish rebound from those levels, driven by falling wedge patterns on the charts and signs of selling pressure exhaustion.
The market is also closely tracking the token unlock scheduled for July 12, when 11.31 million APT tokens worth $52.74 million will be released. This issuance represents 1.75% of the current circulating supply and could exert short-term downward pressure if the market fails to absorb that liquidity.
If Aptos (APT) manages to break through the $4.81 resistance, the next technical targets stand at $5.30, $5.99, and $6.28. Some forecasts even suggest a potential move toward $7.05, though confirming that rally will depend on holding current support and breaking those key levels with solid volume
