Aptos (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">APT</a>) blasted with double-digit gains Wednesday after cryptocurrency fund manager Bitwise Asset Management filed an exchange-traded fund application with the SEC.
What happened: The Layer-1 blockchain token rallied over 12% in the last 24 hours, surging past $6 after over a month. The coin's trading volume soared 27.53% to $402.87 million in the 24-hour period.
APT&#8217;s advance overpowered market heavyweights Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which rose 5.53% and 5.22%, respectively, in the last 24 hours.
The surge came after Aptos Labs CEO Avery Ching confirmed an S-1 filing by Bitwise to list shares of Bitwise Aptos ETF.&nbsp;
"It's a big 1st for the Move ecosystem, as promised, Ching said, referencing the programming language used in the Aptos blockchain.

Alpha Pro Tech Authorized $2M Expansion Of Share Repurchase Program

Well-known crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has predicted a potential surge in the altcoin market, following a period of stagnation. The analyst has also identified a critical support level for&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)&nbsp;to maintain its upward trajectory.
What Happened: Van de Poppe suggests the altcoin market is poised for an upswing after hitting a low.
The analyst shared with his 751,700 followers on X that the OTHERS chart, which monitors the market cap of all cryptocurrencies except the top 10 coins and stablecoins, is showing&nbsp;a bullish pattern on the&nbsp;weekly timeframe.
"The altcoin market capitalization (OTHERS) has bottomed out. There is a bullish divergence and a strong move upwards, which suggests that we're likely just making a higher low here. Onwards and upwards," he said.

Van de Poppe also forecasts a significant rise for&nbsp;Aptos (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">APT</a>), predicting it will climb over 41% from its current price. He expects APT to reach targets of $17 and $20, with APT currently trading at $14.18, marking a 3% increase in the past day.

Regarding&nbsp;Bitcoin, the analyst emphasizes the importance of maintaining a support level above $98,000 to sustain its upward momentum. BTC is currently valued at $101,170, rebounding from a brief dip into the $99,000 range.

Why It Matters: In the weeks leading up to this prediction,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42127938/bitcoin-analyst-warns-of-4-6-flash-crashes-before-year-end-as-it-inches-closer-to-100k-thats-the-moment-altcoins-shoot-off">van de Poppe</a>&nbsp;had warned of potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42127938/bitcoin-analyst-warns-of-4-6-flash-crashes-before-year-end-as-it-inches-closer-to-100k-thats-the-moment-altcoins-shoot-off">&#8220;4-6 flash crashes&#8221;</a> for Bitcoin as it approached the $100,000 mark.
These corrections were expected to cause Bitcoin to drop by 5-10% in a single day, while altcoins could see even larger declines of 20-30%.
Despite these potential setbacks, van de Poppe suggested that these dips could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022585/michael-van-de-poppe-says-bitcoin-ethereum-and-altcoins-close-to-the-point-where-investors-can-buy-the-dip">serve as strategic entry points</a> for investors, as Bitcoin&#8217;s consolidation might trigger an altcoin rally.
This aligns with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42389596/xrp-price-surges-328-in-a-month-outpaces-bitcoin-ethereum-how-high-can-xrp-go">recent surge</a> in XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), which has outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum, driven by favorable legal developments.

Aptos Network experienced a network snag that lasted for more than five hours Wednesday, Oct. 18.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://decrypt.co/202340/aptos-hit-5-hour-outage-blockchains-first-birthday">Decrypt</a>, ythe outage occurred while the network hosted a mass drawing application to celebrate its one-year anniversary and trended the Aptos One hashtag on social media platforms.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>To mark its big day, the Aptos Foundation created a community drawing platform Graffio.art where Aptos wallet users can contribute to a blank canvas to create community art. Co-founder and CEO Mohammad Sheikh said that 4,000 users were painting on the online canvas just before the shutdown.
Normal operations resumed after five hours as the Aptos team worked diligently towards resolving the issue.

Why It Matters: Aptos is a venture capital-backed project launched in October 2022 and built by former Meta employees&#39; crypto project Libra. The mainnet is yet to deliver its promised speed of up to 160,000 transactions per second (TPS) compared to 55.47 TPS currently implying 302.7 million transactions, based on <a href="https://aptoscan.com/">Aptoscan data</a>.
The outage led to a rise in Aptos&rsquo;s transaction fees from around 0.2 APT worth $1 to 1.72 APT worth $8.58 when the shutdown happened. Cryptocurrency exchanges, Upbit and OKX halted deposits and withdrawals of Aptos Network tokens on their platforms for a brief period.
Price Action: At 7:20 ET, the price of the APT token dropped to $4.84 (its 24-hour low point) and then managed to recover to currently trade at $5. With a current market cap of $1.22 billion, the past 24-hours trading volume stands at $68.1 million, based on CoinGecko data. &nbsp;
