Why Aptos is down 5.1% today
Analysis
Aptos (APT) fell 5.1% over the past 24 hours even as the network announced a security-focused upgrade, rolling out an Encrypted Mempool aimed at reducing frontrunning and sandwich attacks. The Cointelegraph report frames the change as a protective, longer-term infrastructure improvement rather than an immediate demand catalyst, which may have limited positive price follow-through during the period.
