Decibel Trade has activated the 
Aptos Encrypted Mempool, a new feature aimed at enhancing trade privacy on the Aptos blockchain.
The encrypted mempool prevents validators from viewing pending order details, which helps protect traders from frontrunning and sandwich attacks.
These types of attacks, collectively known as Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), have been a significant concern in decentralized finance (DeFi) as they allow malicious actors to manipulate transaction ordering for profit.
The launch comes at a time when the overall crypto market is experiencing a period of growth, with the total market cap reaching $2.85 trillion and 
Bitcoin up 2.16% in the past 24 hours.
Aptos (APT) has seen a notable price increase of 8.21% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $0.82886, which may be partially attributed to the positive news.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, Aptos (APT) has moved from $0.8289 to $0.8235 — -0.65%.
The chart plots APT's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 APT ≈ ₦1,122.12 (about $0.8235), up 7.6% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
