Cryptobriefing.com reports that Aptos has partnered with Daehong Communications to launch an on-chain ticketing system for Lotte Group cultural events. This expansion builds on a collaboration that began in March 2024, initially focusing on digital vouchers for Lotte department stores and convenience chains. Daehong’s Giftiel platform has issued over 5 million digital vouchers to more than 1.3 million users since integrating with the Aptos mainnet in July 2025.
The system records the entire lifecycle of each voucher on-chain, from minting to redemption, ensuring full transparency. Now, Daehong is applying this infrastructure to tickets for concerts and exhibitions to provide verified ownership and anti-counterfeit measures. The on-chain system requires no crypto wallets or gas fees from end users, making transactions feel like standard mobile payments.
This initiative is part of the broader “Money Movement” ecosystem designed to handle loyalty points and tickets with on-chain traceability. Early phases also included NFT projects and loyalty integrations with brands like BellyGom and Baekho Eleven. The roadmap includes extending blockchain integration into payments and additional loyalty programs across the Lotte empire.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for APT, measured when this story was written up on 22 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
APT is trading at $0.7950 with a 24-hour spot volume of $23,363,911 and 106,804 trades. The 24-hour buy ratio is 50.8%, indicating a near-even split between buyers and sellers over the day. In the last hour, buying pressure has slightly increased, with the buy ratio rising to 53.4% and a positive volume delta of +$45,445. This suggests that short-term momentum is shifting toward buyers, contrasting with the neutral 4-hour ratio of 50.8%. The buy ratio measures the proportion of trades executed by buyers versus sellers, while volume delta shows the net value of buy orders minus sell orders. Over the past 24 hours, net buying occurred for 11 hours, though the cumulative CVD closed at -$70,882, indicating that larger sell orders may have outweighed smaller buys at times.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.0% sits at the 59th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.3% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for APT, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.5%, making today’s 50.8% reading slightly more bullish by 1.3 points. Trading volume today was 1.63 times the weekly average, signaling unusually high activity. Despite this volume surge, the 8-day volume delta was -$495,440, showing that net selling pressure has dominated the broader trend. The price has risen 34.7% over eight days, but only two of the seven days saw net buying. This indicates that recent price gains have occurred despite a general tendency for sellers to dominate the weekly flow.
