In a landmark legal triumph, the Apertum Foundation and its senior advisor Josip Heit have decisively defeated the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB), one of the most formidable regulators in the United States. This resounding victory confirms that neither the Apertum token nor the DAO1 decentralized finance (DeFi) platform constitute securities under applicable securities laws, thereby dismantling major regulatory barriers and heralding a new golden age for DeFi innovation.
Represented by the world-renowned Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP—the largest business litigation law firm globally with an 86% success rate across 2,500 tried cases and nearly $80 billion recovered—the Apertum Foundation and Mr. Heit aggressively challenged and triumphed in a major securities lawsuit filed by the Texas regulator. The TSSB has now dismissed its case against the Apertum Foundation and Mr. Heit, confirming the legitimacy of Apertum and DAO1 in one of the toughest regulatory jurisdictions worldwide.
This watershed decision unleashes the full potential of the Apertum ecosystem, including its DAO1 DeFi platform and native $APTM token. Apertum is now poised for explosive growth, driving forward the next-generation blockchain revolution. The $APTM token itself surged over 140% in July alone amid this breakthrough, signaling the dawn of a new chapter in digital asset innovation and adoption.
Apertum is already recognized as a fast-growing, top-tier Layer-1 blockchain within the Avalanche ecosystem. According to leading industry reports, it ranks among the Top Layer-1 projects of 2025, backed by exceptional on-chain metrics despite launching recently in Q1 2025. The Apertum blockchain is distinguished by its unparalleled speed, scalability, and ease of use—outperforming 98% of competing chains in the crypto industry.
The Apertum ecosystem is fully integrated with CoinMarketCap, a platform attracting over 340 million monthly visitors, and its token trades on major global exchanges including MEXC, BitMart, P2B, and LBank, supporting over 80 million active traders worldwide. The community boasts over 55,000 active blockchain users, with more than $3.5 million worth of tokens burned and $25 million worth of $APTM mined and distributed through Apertum’s decentralized finance platform.
