Apricot Finance’s Token Arises on Similarity to Aptos Token’s Ticker

Apricot Finance’s Token Arises on Similarity to Aptos Token’s Ticker Altcoin News
  • Apricot Finance’s APT tokens surged  70% in the past 24 hours.
  • The major cryptocurrency exchanges Binance and FTX will both list Aptos’s tokens.

Despite the lack of a recent technical update and the lack of activity on its social media forums, the tokens of the 2021-launched lending platform Apricot Finance surged on Tuesday.

Instead, the surge was caused by an unintended anomaly. The APT tokens from Apricot Finance, which have increased by about 70% in the last day, have the same ticker as the native APT tokens from Aptos.

Aptos Tokens Will Be Listed on FTX and Binance

On Monday, Aptos officially launched, and Binance and FTX are going to list its tokens. That didn’t stop traders from placing wagers on the current APT. Trading volume on Apricot’s APT increased significantly from under $70,000 on Monday to over $2.2 million on Tuesday afternoon, and prices are still rising as of this writing. Two mid-tier cryptocurrency exchanges, Gate and LATOKEN, are where the tokens are traded. 

According to certain sources, Some residents of the community cautioned others against falling for the hype. On the CoinMarketCap forum, one user advised others to keep buying the wrong one.  Binance is going to list APTOS (APT). Not the Apricot Finance company listed on the Gate exchange. 

As a result, there is still a long way to go for APT holders since the token prices have fallen by over 95% from their peak of 30 cents last year, when platform TVL had a $300 million market cap.
