A哥@AveryChing sat in the CFTC conference room, this matter is far bigger than you can imagine.
Recently, there is some explosive news in the circle:
Aptos Labs CEO A哥 (Avery Ching) has been officially invited to join the U.S. CFTC's Digital Asset Advisory Committee.
Don't underestimate this message. On the surface, it seems like a Web3 entrepreneur has "entered the circle."
But in reality, this could be a key step on the compliance path for the entire cryptocurrency industry.
In the past, Web3 was about defensive monster fighting, but now Aptos has actively taken on the main storyline tasks.
Think about it, what has been the style of Web3 projects dealing with regulation over the past few years?
Most projects are "better to avoid if possible," afraid of stepping on the line, afraid of being sued, afraid of being targeted.
To put it bluntly, we are all passively taking hits, and no one wants to be the target trending on social media.
But Aptos is different this time, they directly "reverse" into the regulatory circle.
It's not "You come check me," but "I come help you write the rules."
A brother is not talking about ideals, he is speaking technical language to the policies.
What's even better is that this isn't his first time taking action.
Last month he participated in the U.S. Congressional hearing —
It's not about shouting slogans like "Web3 freedom, long live decentralization," but rather seriously discussing logic, technology, and classification frameworks.
He is doing something particularly difficult but particularly valuable:
Make regulations understandable to code, and make code legally implementable.
How much value does this CFTC seat hold?
Let's see which table Brother A is sitting at this time:
CFTC advisory seat, who to sit with? BlackRock, BNY Mellon,
This is the core circle of traditional finance, the place where policies are truly defined.
In other words, Brother A is now not just part of the Web3 builders' circle,
but has already entered the ranks of influential figures who can affect the formulation of the "future financial system."
You think it's just about "joining the circle", but in fact, the on-chain funds have already voted with their feet.
Look at the data:
Recently, the TVL (Total Value Locked) of RWA (Real World Assets) on Aptos surged to $540 million, setting a historical high and directly surpassing Stellar, ranking third across all chains.
Don't underestimate the number behind this; it indicates one thing:
More and more "traditional money" is choosing Aptos as a landing point.
Why?
Because the most important things about RWA are two things:
Is the chain compliant?
Is the architecture reliable?
And Aptos hits the mark on both counts—originating from Meta, based in the U.S., and now joining the CFTC advisory group. Isn't this the dream blockchain for institutions?
Aptos hasn't hyped its narrative, but it is quietly building a compliance moat.
Have you noticed that in recent years, various L1 public chain narratives are being told in different ways:
One moment Modular, one moment AI,
Meme Launchpad in a moment,
Let's do some Restaking.
But Aptos has hardly made a sound.
What are they doing?
Silently improving performance, infrastructure, and compliance integration.
Shelby challenges Web2 cloud, pushing the limits of underlying architecture in extreme parallelism, and now integrates into the core of U.S. regulation...
It's like someone playing a card game and drawing an SSR, Aptos is at Gate.io.
The final point has arrived:
Only those who can write into the regulatory discourse are qualified to define the future of finance.
It's not enough to just mention a few Web3 terms and shout a few slogans about freedom.
Brother A won this move in the real financial world.
Not only won face, but also won "discourse power."
The conclusion is simple:
A's operation this time really made Aptos win big.
