Aptos Ends Vesting: Monthly APT Releases Drop 60% to 4.54M
- —The final tranche of 6.77 million APT to contributors and backers was paid on September 12
- —Annual APT releases fall from 135.7 million to 54.5 million tokens
- —331.69 million APT of genesis supply remains locked in vesting
- —Staking reward rate dropped from 5.19% to 2.6%, minting about 19.8 million APT a year
Why it matters: The 60% cut in emissions reduces sell pressure on APT, but staking rewards are now the main source of new tokens.
