• Aptos price rose to $1.99 on Tuesday, gaining by 8% as bulls looked to strengthen.
• Grayscale has announced Aptos as one of the assets under consideration.
• Potential ETF demand could help APT’s price.

Aptos (APT) price is up more than 8% in the past 24 hours as the broader cryptocurrency market catches a bid, with Bitcoin rising to near $93,500.

The Aptos token, native to the blockchain platform powered by the move programming language, is experiencing renewed interest as most other altcoins record a slight rebound.

Many of these tokens, including BNB, TRON, Ethena and Hyperliquid, are part of the assets under consideration for Grayscale Investments.

The firm plans to add several of these, potentially Aptos too, to its suite of crypto investment products.

Aptos price bounces to near $2

Aptos’ native token traded near $1.95 at the time of writing, up more than 8% in the past 24 hours.

The altcoin was looking to ride the new upside momentum that hit cryptocurrencies on Tuesday following the release of the US consumer price index report.

As BTC gained to $93,659 across major exchanges, the APT token surged to highs of $1.99.

Bulls came close to the psychological mark of $2, where bulls last decisively hovered in late November 2025.

Gains for Aptos in recent trading sessions see buyers target a return to winning ways, and institutional interest could bolster this outlook.

Grayscale adds Aptos to list of assets under consideration

Grayscale released its updated list of assets under consideration on Monday, and Aptos sits among the top altcoins the asset manager could add investment products for in the first quarter of 2026.

In Grayscale’s future investment products list are also prominent altcoins across smart contracts, DeFi and artificial intelligence.

Aptos’ inclusion highlights the platform’s growing appeal as a scalablelLayer 1 blockchain, and potential listing of new exchange-traded products (ETPs) could attract substantial capital inflows.

What’s next for Aptos price?

Crypto markets have witnessed a topsy-turvy start to the year, with top coins failing to strengthen as bears tease pressure near key levels.

The Aptos token has, however, largely sported a negative outlook since dropping from highs of $5.46 in October.

However, network milestones like the quantum-resistant upgrade and sharding, aimed for greater scalability, has bulls keen on taking advantage of any would be price gains.

Cross-chain bridges to ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana are also in development, which means further interoperability and DeFi expansion.

If price gains amid all the bullish catalysts, the next target above $2 will be $4 and higher. On the downside, bear will target $1.5 and $1.3.

Macroeconomic challenges aside, regulatory clarity, ETFs and real-world assets put Aptos in a good position for a spike to new highs.

• Upexi currently has a market capitalisation of $140.32 million.
• The transaction will help the company boost its SOL holdings by 12% to over 2.4 million tokens.
• Solana has seen notable ETF inflows as SOL price hovers near $140.

Upexi, Inc. said on Tuesday that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with Hivemind Capital Partners for a convertible note valued at about $36 million, to be issued in exchange for locked Solana (SOL) tokens.

The transaction comes as the Nasdaq-listed company continues to expand its digital asset treasury.

Upexi currently has a market capitalisation of $140.32 million.

Upexi eyes more Solana

Under the terms outlined in the press release, the convertible note carries an interest rate of 1.0%, payable quarterly, with a fixed conversion price of $2.39 per share and a maturity of 24 months.

The SOL tokens provided as consideration will be used to collateralise the note.

The securities were issued through a private placement directly to Hivemind Capital Partners, with no placement agent or underwriter involved.

Upon finalising this deal, Upexi will use the capital to buy more SOL tokens.

If completed, DAT’s holdings of the token would rise to more than 2.4 million SOL.

Upexi CEO Marshall said the company recorded a 34% rise in adjusted SOL per share in 2025, adding that the deal represents “a great start to building SOL per share in 2026.”

“This transaction improves Upexi’s market position in the Solana treasury space, is accretive to our adjusted Solana per share should the Note convert to equity, and has limited credit risk given the in-kind nature of the transaction,” stated Upexi CEO Allan Marshall.

Solana sees ETF inflows, price gains

The announcement comes against a backdrop of renewed strength in the Solana ecosystem, with SOL price gaining to above $140 as spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to attract consistent institutional capital inflows.

On Jan. 12, SOL ETFs saw a total of $10.67 million in inflows, with SoSoValue showing total net inflows at over $827 million and net assets at over $1.14 billion.

Solana has seen consecutive net inflows since investors pulled over $32 million from various spot ETFs on December 3, 2025.

SOL and XRP have posted consistent positive flows, which contrasts with the mixed flows witnessed for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This institutional interest has supported SOL’s price, which has shown resilience and bounced to above $140.

On January 13, 2026, the price of Solana hovered around $143, up on the day as Bitcoin broke to $93,500.
