Aptos takes another step closer to the ETF dream. Bitnomial has just launched the first US-regulated APT futures contract, which happens to hit the critical requirement for SEC approval of a spot ETF. The door for institutional funds is gradually opening, and infrastructure is being rapidly built. From futures to spot, from exchanges to regulators, this path is being paved. Whether the mechanism dividends of the Aptos ecosystem can translate into market enthusiasm will depend on the pace of the coming months.

The tactic of futures leading the way has been seen too many times. What really matters is whether the spot ETF can pass, don't be fooled by the hype.

Wait, can futures contracts really push forward the approval of spot ETFs? That logic doesn't quite add up... The SEC cares about trading volume, custodial solutions, and market maturity, not just having futures. No matter how you look at it, Bitnomial's move seems like a setup, but I haven't seen anything impressive in the underlying infrastructure—rather, it reminds me of the 2021 wave when the infrastructure dream was shattered multiple times...

I've seen this futures preemptive move many times; the key still depends on whether the spot ETF can really get approved. If you ask me, don't just focus on infrastructure—does the APT ecosystem itself have anything?

Futures lead the way, while spot still has to wait. I've seen this routine too many times. Institutional entry sounds good, but the real heat depends on whether the ecosystem can handle it; otherwise, it will be just a fleeting moment.

Both futures and spot markets are up and running. Now the SEC really has no reason to delay, and it feels like APT is stable this time.

The routine of futures leading the way, we've seen it many times before. Let's talk about the spot ETF day when it actually arrives. Institutional money is easy to get, but the key is whether Aptos can hold up.

Wait, do institutions only start when futures contracts are available? I feel like spot ETFs are still a long way off.
