Staking Aptos (APT)

Why Stake APT?

Staking APT, the native token of the Aptos blockchain, is a way to earn additional income while enhancing the network’s security and performance. Aptos employs a unique, high-performance consensus model for fast, reliable transactions. By staking APT—either directly or through this ETP product—you contribute to transaction validation and block production, receiving rewards in APT tokens that are accumulated in the ETP and enhance its performance.

Why use an ETP for Staking?

For investors, this Aptos Staking ETP simplifies staking by managing technical requirements and custody. While direct APT holders have options for staking, an ETP offers distinct advantages, particularly liquidity: investors enjoy daily trading on the stock exchange without lock-up periods or technical complexities. Additionally, assets are securely held in cold storage with a specialized institutional custodian, ensuring safekeeping at all times.

APTB Staking Details

Expected Staking Reward (net of fee)
67% of total staking rewards

Investors receive 67% of all staking rewards generated by staking the ETP's underlying APT. The issuer keeps a fee of 33% of the total staking rewards to cover costs associated to staking (the "Staking Service Fee").
The Expected Staking Reward represents the rewards expected to be received by the ETP, expressed in annualised % terms. This number is subject to change based on market rates for rewards in APT staking and will be periodically adjusted.

How are the rewards passed to investors?
The staking rewards less 33% Staking Service Fee are reinvested into the ETP to enhance performance. This means that the cryptocurrency entitlement per ETP, which is the amount of underlying APT per every unit of the ETP investors own is adjusted upwards. The current cryptocurrency entitlement can be retreived from the CE table available among the resources in the Staking section of this page.
