Tria Brings 500,000 Users to Aptos. Now With Decibel Perpetuals.
Half a million people just got access to faster rails.
Tria (@useTria), the self-custodial crypto neofinance app serving 500,000+ users across more than 150 countries, has gone live on Aptos. The integration brings Aptos into Tria's full-stack financial operating system as a high-speed execution layer — giving users direct access to Aptos-native deposits, trading, cross-chain swaps, yield opportunities, and Visa card spending, all from a single self-custodial account.
This is what happens when infrastructure built for institutional scale meets a product built for daily life.
Tria: A Financial OS, Not Just a Wallet
Tria isn’t a typical crypto wallet. It’s a self-custodial financial OS where users can trade perpetuals, earn yield on idle assets, and tap a Visa card at 150 million+ merchants worldwide — same account, same keys, no handoff of custody. Since launching in late 2025, Tria has processed over $100 million in transaction volume, backed by $12 million in pre-seed and strategic funding from investors including P2 Ventures and Aptos Foundation . With Aptos now integrated, Tria users can deposit, trade, swap cross-chain, access tokenized real-world assets, and earn yield using Aptos-native assets — all without leaving the app.
Why Tria Chose to Move on Aptos
Tria’s model demands instant settlement, negligible fees, and zero tolerance for downtime. Aptos delivers on all three — sub-second finality, transaction costs are a fraction of a cent, and 99.99% uptime since mainnet launch.
But the deciding factor wasn’t just performance. It was the institutional ecosystem already operating on Aptos. BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, tokenized via Securitize , chose Aptos as one of its blockchain rails. Franklin Templeton chose Aptos as one of the networks to integrate its onchain U.S. Government Money Fund. These aren’t pilots — they’re live products moving real capital.
For a neobank building the operating system for money, that’s the difference between integrating a chain and integrating an ecosystem.
Perpetuals, Powered by Decibel
The depth of that ecosystem is already showing. On April 21, Tria integrated Decibel directly inside its app through Decibel’s Builder Code program — bringing fully onchain perpetuals to its users.
Every order, match, and settlement on Tria’s integration of Decibel executes onchain via Decibel’s order book, powered by Aptos. Since mainnet launch in February 2026, Decibel has surpassed $50 million in TVL with multi-asset collateral and up to 40x leverage.
What makes the integration notable isn’t just access to perpetuals — it’s how trading is delivered. Inside Tria, Decibel’s trading engine now sits alongside Tria’s yield opportunities, cross-chain swaps, and Visa card balance. Open a leveraged position at midnight, have the opportunity to earn on collateral, and tap the card for coffee the next morning.
One self-custodial account, no bridging, no detours. Tria covers the gas.
A New DeFi On-Ramp for 150+ Countries
The integration opens Aptos’ growing DeFi ecosystem to a user base spanning more than 150 countries — many in emerging markets where onchain rails solve real problems around remittances, cross-border payments, and access to financial products historically gated by geography. Tria users can now access Decibel’s perpetuals engine, and the expanding stablecoin infrastructure that has pushed Aptos’ stablecoin market cap past $1.9 billion — the highest of any Move-based chain.
The Global Trading Engine, One User at a Time
Aptos has spent the last three years becoming the rails for global finance — sub-second finality, parallel execution via the Move language, and institutional integrations that span BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Mastercard. What it gains with Tria is distribution: half a million active users who treat onchain finance not as speculation but as daily banking.
Tria’s integration is what that thesis looks like at the consumer edge. The same network settling BlackRock’s tokenized fund shares and part of Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program is now part of the engine behind a neobank where someone in Lagos or Manila can trade perpetuals on Decibel, have the opportunity to earn yield, and tap their card for coffee — all before the next block finalizes.
The rails for self-custodial finance are here. Now, half a million people are on them.
