Bitget and Aptos are making headlines—Bitget for its refined token burn approach, and Aptos for holding strong ahead of a major token unlock.
Aptos (APT) is currently trading at $4.77, showing a 4.83% increase over the past 24 hours. Despite an upcoming token unlock of 11.31 million APT, valued at approximately $52 million, the price seems to be holding firm.
Analysts have identified a strong support level at $4.34, suggesting limited potential for further price decline. Technically speaking, the daily chart reveals a falling wedge pattern, which is often associated with a reversal in price trends. However, considering the minimal buying pressure observed at present, it appears that the upcoming token unlock will be a crucial factor in determining the next move.
From a supply perspective, with a circulating supply of 605.4 million APT and a market cap of $2.89 billion, Aptos maintains a substantial presence in the market. The upcoming unlock, which amounts to about 1.87% of the market cap, will certainly be a focus for investors.
In other news, Bitget has announced a significant update to its token burn mechanism, linking it directly to on-chain usage. During Q1 2025, 6,943.63 BGB were used for on-chain fees via GetGas wallets, resulting in the burning of 30,006,905 BGB, valued at approximately $120 million.
This move not only enhances transparency but also aligns token supply with actual utility. The BGB token is a key part of Bitget’s ecosystem, granting holders benefits such as staking rewards, access to airdrops, and participation in new projects.
Previously, in January 2025, Bitget had already burned 800 million team-held tokens, reducing the total supply to 1.2 billion BGB, all of which are now in circulation. Since its launch, BGB has shown remarkable performance. Commencing at $0.0585 in July 2021, BGB reached an all-time high of $8.50 in December 2024, showcasing over 100x growth.
Currently, analysts suggest a fair short-term valuation range of $4 to $6, considering the new burn mechanism and overall market dynamics.
