- AAVE and SEI delivered combined gains of over 250%, accounting for the majority of June’s net profit.
- A strategic SUI short position earned a 60% return, highlighting the value of bearish setups in mixed market conditions.
- Overall VIP trading activity in June grew 32.4% month-over-month, generating a total net return of $148K.
June 2025 closed with notable strength across several digital assets, as VIP spot and futures positions reported a net gain of $148,000. The performance represented a 32.4% increase compared to the previous month, with five specific trades leading the growth. These positions—composed of both long and short strategies—captured key market momentum during a period of increased volatility and selective breakouts.
Aave (AAVE): Posts a Remarkable 146% Gain
Aave led the pack in June, rising 146%. The surge followed months of price compression, finally wrapping up with a neat technical breakout above crucial resistance levels. The rally was also supported by growing demand for decentralized lending platforms, particularly following optimistic news on the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem , which Aave actively contributes to.
Increased on-chain lending activity and protocol upgrades contributed to the bullish sentiments. Although overall market anxieties, AAVE’s price action remained robust during the month, reflecting sustained demand.
Sei (SEI): Records Groundbreaking 112% Growth
Sei followed closely behind with a 112% gain, driven by rising institutional engagement and improving liquidity conditions. As a Layer 1 blockchain optimized for trading, Sei benefited from narrative tailwinds around high-performance execution chains. June also saw rising volumes on Sei-based decentralized applications, paired with multiple whale accumulations and favorable mentions from high-profile fund managers. The coin broke through prior resistance with strong momentum, ending the month as one of the highest-returning tokens in the infrastructure category.
Bonk (BONK): Delivers a Moderate Yet Profitable 18%
BONK, a meme-inspired token, produced a 18% return in June. While not as explosive as prior months, this gain was notable given the sideways structure of many other meme assets during the same period. BONK held firm above its May support levels and saw increased retail activity in the second half of June, particularly from social media-fueled interest. Despite lacking major development catalysts, its consistent upward move suggests speculative demand remains intact.
Aptos (APT): Steady 18% Rise on Ecosystem Growth
APT posted a 18% gain, mirroring BONK’s percentage performance but under different conditions. Aptos saw gradual accumulation across multiple timeframes, supported by announcements of new developer tools and the release of smart contract upgrades. These updates improved its technical standing among Layer 1 competitors, helping it attract more user and validator attention. Trading volume increased steadily during June, reflecting organic participation rather than short-term speculation.
Sui (SUI) Short: Yields 60% as Bear Trend Deepens
SUI was the only token in the report profited from via a short position, generating a 60% return. This trade capitalized on a correction that followed an overextended run earlier in Q2. SUI’s ecosystem faced delays in roadmap execution, with some developer migration to rival chains. Market reaction was swift, as traders took profits and short interest grew. Technical charts confirmed a breakdown below support zones, offering a well-timed short setup. This move highlighted the importance of monitoring shifts in sentiment, even in previously bullish projects.
