Aptos Reaffirms 210M APT Lock as Insider Unlock Cycle Nears End

The reaffirmed lock matters less as a supply headline than as a signal about Aptos's sequencing: the network is pairing a large insider-token commitment with already-live changes to staking rewards and gas fees, so the market is digesting distribution policy and protocol economics at the same time. The near-end of the unlock cycle shifts attention to whether the capped supply and higher fee take become the dominant narrative once insider overhang stops being a recurring talking point. Whether that transition holds is the open question.
