CoinMarketCap, the leading crypto data aggregator, has officially integrated the Apertum decentralized exchange (DEX) and its native Layer-1 (L1) blockchain, Apertum Chain, as per the reports shared with Finbold on Monday, July 7.
As CoinMarketCap boasts over 880 million page views per month and serves media giants like Forbes and Bloomberg, the integration will help promote Apertum as an ecosystem that emphasizes transparency, performance, and decentralization.
Thanks to the integration, developers, analysts, and investors can now also access live data on Apertum’s trading volumes, token activity, and ecosystem health.
Moreover, liquidity providers can also earn rewards from every trade on the Apertum DEX, which offers verified liquidity analytics and real-time metrics.
Apertum features
Launched in Q1 2025, Apertum was originally designed to support scalable, high-speed decentralized applications with full Ethereum (ETH) Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility.
Its mainnet supports up to 4,500 transactions per second, with finality speeds ranging between 0.15 and 1.5 seconds.
As such has use cases in decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
Apertum’s infrastructure also facilitates smart contract deployment via the Apertum Wizard and features a deflationary token model, with up to half of transaction fees being burned to support long-term sustainability.
Prioritizing community governance
Apertum launched without venture capital backing or institutional capital, being built around tenets such as community governance, decentralization, infrastructure quality, and accessibility.
Fully indexed and discoverable on CoinMarketCap, all tokens and protocols built within the Apertum ecosystem can now benefit from global analytical visibility, which is expected to accelerate adoption.
The integration is thus more than just a technical listing. Indeed, increased adoption will in turn deepen developer engagement and strengthen the blockchain’s position in the Web3 market.
