币界网报道：Aptos (APT) has emerged as the top performer among major staking tokens with an 18% weekly surge, driven by growing DeFi activity on its blockchain. The layer-1 network's total value locked (TVL) reached a record $430 million this week, according to DefiLlama data, as its liquid staking protocol Thala Labs surpassed $100 million in deposits. Aptos' staking yield currently stands at 6.8% APY, attracting investors amid broader crypto market gains. The network's native DEX Liquidswap also saw trading volumes spike 150% this week. Analysts attribute Aptos' growth to its recent partnership with Microsoft for AI-powered Web3 solutions and the upcoming launch of its lending protocol Aries Markets. Meanwhile, other staking tokens like Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) posted more modest 5-7% weekly gains. The staking sector's resurgence comes as crypto markets rebound, with Bitcoin crossing $70,000 and total market capitalization approaching $2.8 trillion.
