Why has the price of $APT quadrupled in 2023? Binance Reserach explores developments and announcements from the new Aptos blockchain.
$APT Goes From $4 to $16 in January
Why is the Aptos coin outperforming the crypto market so far in 2023? Binance Research dove into that question in a recent Twitter thread, discussing developments from the new layer-1 blockchain, the rise of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on Aptos, and new Binance liquidity pools.

The $APT price chart shows the coin stuck around the US$3-4 mark for the first few months of its launch, until Jan 9th when price started moving from US$4 to over US$15 where it sits now. This represents a ~275% move in around two weeks. Why?
According to CoinGecko, the price of $APT has increased from below $4 at the beginning of January to more than $16 as of the time of publication, a 4x increase.
While some investors have attributed the boom in $APT to price manipulation from whales, Binance Research observes that Aptos Co-Founders Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching recently held an AMA where they announced many upcoming developments and community outreach events.

Binance Research also noted increased activity in regard to Aptos NFTs, as collectors try to get into the space early. (Check out the top 10 NFTs on Aptos, as reported previously by BSC News.)
Also, Binance opened two new liquidity pools, pairing $APT with $BTC and $USDT.

Aptos #NFTs have also started to see increases in both floor price and trading volume as NFT investors start accumulating them to become early adopters and take advantage of potential flipping opportunities. @TopazMarket data is encouraging and illustrates these increases.

Terraform Labs Founder Do Kwon Appeals Extradition Decision in Montenegro

The appeal will be reviewed by the Montenegro court, and the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice faces challenges in reaching a conclusive decision by the December 15 deadline.
Kwon Do-hyung, the founder of Terraform Labs (TFL), has filed an appeal against the recent extradition ruling made by the High Court of Podgorica in Montenegro, according to a local South Korean media outlet.
The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed on December 6 that Kwon Do-hyung contested the decision, stating, “I do not accept the court’s decision to extradite me, so I do not submit to the court’s decision.”
This appeal prompts the Montenegrin Court of Appeals to reassess the extradition decision, introducing uncertainty into the resolution timeline.
Extradition Request and Timeline
The court initially approved Kwon’s extradition request on November 24, stipulating his transfer to either the United States or his home country, South Korea.
The current appeal has altered the decision-making timeline, making it challenging for the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice to finalize the extradition destination before the December 15 deadline.
During the extradition trial, Kwon expressed a preference for being extradited to South Korea, a request that was granted by the court. However, the appeal has extended the timeline, potentially rescheduling the extradition proceedings to January, according to Crypto Times.
Despite Kwon Do-hyung’s appeal, local observers in Montenegro suggest slim chances of overturning the extradition decision. A prevailing belief among Montenegrin government officials and judiciary figures is that Kwon’s continued detention attracts undue attention.
