Aptos (APT) plunged in price early in its debut on Wednesday.
The new cryptocurrency was at around $9 – down by more than 30% – on CoinGecko within the first hour of trading.
Many crypto exchanges opened spot trading for Aptos in an effort to reverse the situation.
Founder Mo Shaikh had been defending against controversies surrounding the network and allegations about its processing times just a day before, the situation worsened by scammers and reports of people unable to redeem their tokens in the early hours of the token's debut. An Aptos moderator, as a result, had to shut the channel down for the second time this week.
