Launched in 2021 by former Meta employees Avery Ching and Mo Shaikh Aptos Labs has built its nascent blockchain through its original, Rust-based programming language called "Move." Designed to be a safe blockchain for its users, Aptos also allows customers to change their private keys at will for increased security.

"We are pleased to welcome Aptos Labs and APT to our thriving digital token ecosystem," said Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Bitfinex. "The opportunity to use the blockchain for advancing greater freedom of choice and easier access to financial products and services is a vision that is core to Bitfinex and we are delighted to welcome a project with a similar ethos."

In July of this year, Aptos Labs closed a $150 million Series A funding round led by Jump Crypto and FTX Ventures. This comes just months after raising $200 million in a strategic round led by a16z. 

Open deposits for APT will be available on 18/10/22. Open trading for APT will be available on 19/10/22 with trading pairs US Dollar (USD) and Tether tokens (USDt).
