Token distribution
Velvet (ticker: VELVET) is the native token of Velvet Capital, an AI-powered decentralized trading terminal and portfolio management protocol. Often described as a "DeFAI Operating System," a convergence of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Velvet Capital allows traders to research, analyze, and execute complex crypto strategies across multiple blockchains from a single interface.
Unlike typical DeFi protocols that serve one narrow function, Velvet positions itself as a complete trading environment with four interlocking pillars: spot trading, perpetual futures, AI-powered strategy discovery, and non-custodial portfolio vaulting.
The platform is currently live on seven chains: Base, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Hyperliquid, Monad, and Sonic and has grown to over 100,000 users since its public launch.
The VELVET token is the fuel of this ecosystem, used for governance, staking, fee discounts, liquidity provision access, and earning a share of protocol revenue through the ve(3,3) model.
Velvet Capital was founded and developed by a team focused on building institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure for retail and professional traders. The protocol is backed by some of the most recognized names in the crypto venture space.
In July 2025, Velvet Capital raised $3.7 million to launch its DeFAI Operating System and the VELVET token. The fundraise brought in a broad coalition of strategic investors:
The participation of Binance Labs (under its new YZi Labs brand) was a significant credibility signal, given Binance Labs' track record of backing projects that achieve major exchange listings and ecosystem growth.
At its core, Velvet Capital is a multi-chain trading terminal that replaces the fragmented experience of using multiple DEXs, bridges, and analytics tools with a unified dashboard. Users get:
TradingView-style charts: professional charting built into the interface
Cross-chain spot trading: execute buys and sells across 7 chains without leaving the platform
Perpetual futures trading: go long or short on crypto assets with leverage
Advanced order types: limit orders, stop-losses, and more
Real-time on-chain analytics: wallet tracking, token discovery, market signals
The most distinctive feature of Velvet is its AI copilot, called Velvet Unicorn a multi-agent AI system integrated directly into the trading terminal. Users interact with it using natural language to:
Research tokens and protocols
Analyze on-chain data and wallet activity
Receive AI-generated trading signals
Prepare and execute complex multi-step trades
Discover trending opportunities across chains
This is not a chatbot bolted onto a trading interface Velvet Unicorn is embedded into the execution layer, meaning it can actually perform trades based on user instructions in natural language.
Velvet's vault system allows users and fund managers to create tokenized on-chain portfolios. Key characteristics:
Assets are held in smart contracts; the manager never takes custody
Depositors receive vault tokens representing their proportional share
Managers can trade and interact with DeFi protocols within the vault's strategy
Vaults can be public (open to other depositors) or private
A strict 1:10 staking ratio applies to liquidity provision. Staking 1 VELVET allows deployment of 10 USDC into automated vault strategies
Velvet uses an intent-based architecture where users declare desired outcomes rather than specifying exact transaction routes. The protocol automatically finds the optimal path across available liquidity sources, incorporating:
MEV (Miner Extractable Value) protection
Cross-chain routing through Jupiter, 1inch, 0x, KyberSwap, OKX DEX, Portals, DFlow, and Enso
Slippage minimization
Gas optimization
In June 2026, Velvet made headlines globally by launching synthetic tokenized markets offering leveraged exposure to pre-IPO companies including SpaceX (SPCX), OpenAI, and Anthropic. This was one of the most innovative product launches in DeFi history, giving retail traders crypto-native access to companies that are otherwise inaccessible without institutional connections. This product was the primary catalyst for VELVET's explosive 250%+ price surge.
Allocation Breakdown
The most critical tokenomic event for VELVET is the insider unlock schedule:
Airdrop allocation: Fully distributed at TGE (December 2025)
Ecosystem tokens: Released gradually for protocol development
Team tokens (26%): Locked for 1 year: cliff ends late December 2026
Investor tokens (24%): Locked for 1 year: cliff ends late December 2026
Post-cliff monthly release: 7.02M developer tokens + 6.48M VC tokens = 13.5M VELVET/month
This means that from late December 2026, approximately 13.5 million new VELVET tokens will enter circulation every month through 2027–2028. This is the single most important risk factor for long-term VELVET price performance.
VELVET uses a vote-escrowed tokenomics model (ve(3,3)): the same architecture pioneered by Curve Finance and refined by Aerodrome.
Stake VELVET → receive veVELVET
Longer lock periods (up to 4 years) → more veVELVET
veVELVET grants: fee discounts by tier, governance voting rights, protocol revenue share
Revenue from platform activity is used to buy VELVET on the open market and distribute to stakers the on-chain buyback mechanism
veVELVET balance declines over the lock period to incentivize continuous re-locking
This model is designed to reduce liquid circulating supply by locking tokens, reward long-term aligned holders, and create a direct link between platform revenue and token value.
As of June 30, 2026, Velvet (VELVET) is trading at approximately $1.55–$1.67, following a sharp pullback from its all-time high of $2.16 reached on June 29, 2026.
The current price represents a 28% pullback from the ATH consistent with normal profit-taking and consolidation after a parabolic move.
VELVET's June 2026 rally is one of the most discussed price moves in the DeFi space this year. It was not a single event but a sequence of stacked catalysts over a 30-day window.
The rally's foundation was laid on June 3 when Velvet integrated with Trade.xyz, a cross-chain intent-based trading infrastructure layer. This positioned Velvet as a serious multi-chain execution platform, attracting DeFi-native traders who had been watching the protocol. Price began building from the $0.35–$0.40 base level.
This was the detonator. Velvet announced and launched synthetic, leveraged markets for three of the most anticipated pre-IPO companies in history:
SpaceX (SPCX) — Elon Musk's private space company with an estimated $350B+ valuation
OpenAI — The company behind ChatGPT, one of the most searched AI brands globally
Anthropic — The AI safety company and creator of Claude
Retail investors globally have no legitimate pathway to invest in these companies before their public listings. Velvet offered a crypto-native synthetic route and the market responded immediately. VELVET surged to approximately $1.85–$1.87, representing an extraordinary gain in the week leading to June 12. The news spread virally beyond crypto Twitter into mainstream tech and finance circles.
After a correction period (June 12–25), during which price retraced to approximately $0.45–$0.65, VELVET launched a second major leg. Velvet migrated all of its protocol-owned liquidity on Base to Aerodrome Finance — the largest DEX on the Base network.
The effects were immediate and measurable:
Trading depth concentrated into one venue
Slippage reduced dramatically
Spreads tightened
The aerodrome's existing community brought fresh capital and attention
From a local low of $0.39 on June 26, VELVET surged to a new all-time high of $2.16 on June 29 — a gain of approximately 450% in three days from that local base. This second leg drove the widely reported 250%+ headline figure.
Both rally legs were mechanically amplified by derivatives' dynamics. Traders who had shorted VELVET expecting a reversal were caught off-guard:
$2.5M+ in short positions liquidated during the rallies
Derivatives volume spiked 876% to ~$376M
Open interest surged 140% to $85–$94M.
The long/short ratio held near 1.0, indicating balanced positioning even after the squeeze, leaving room for continued volatility
RSI: Neutral (~47–50) after coming off heavily overbought (80+) levels at the ATH. This indicates the token has cooled off without entering oversold territory: a consolidation, not a breakdown.
MACD: Slightly negative, confirming short-term momentum has weakened post-ATH. This is consistent with a normal post-parabolic reset.
Key Pattern: The chart shows a recurring structure. Bullish signals appeared at June 9, June 21–23, and June 27, each preceding a significant price move. A new bull wick at current support would be a bullish technical signal.

VELVET is an EVM-compatible token available on Base, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. Advanced users can access it via decentralized exchanges using a compatible wallet (MetaMask, Phantom, Rabby), connecting to Aerodrome (Base), Uniswap (Ethereum), or PancakeSwap (BNB Chain).
These are analyst projections for educational purposes only, not financial advice.
The remainder of 2026 is shaped by the upcoming December 2026 cliff unlock, the first time team and investor tokens (50% of total supply) become eligible for circulation. The key question is whether protocol revenue and demand growth can absorb the incoming supply.
Conservative estimate: $1.20–$2.50 Bullish estimate: $3.00–$5.00 (requires new major catalysts)
Monthly unlocks of 13.5M tokens begin. This creates consistent selling pressure unless:
Trading volumes and protocol revenue grow proportionally
Staking locks sufficient supply
New products drive demand (Intent OS, expanded AI copilot, new chains)
Conservative estimate: $1.00–$2.50 Bullish estimate: $3.00–$6.00
By 2028, the protocol will have a multi-year track record of fee generation and buyback data allowing more fundamental-based valuation. If TVL and volume grow, the buyback mechanism creates a self-reinforcing floor.
Conservative estimate: $1.50–$3.50 Bullish estimate: $5.00–$9.00
Most insider unlock tranches should be substantially completed, removing the structural sell pressure that has dominated 2026–2028. Price becomes more sensitive to organic demand than supply mechanics.
Conservative estimate: $2.00–$4.50 Bullish estimate: $6.00–$12.00
By 2030, VELVET will have gone through multiple full market cycles. If DeFAI becomes a mainstream financial infrastructure category — which many analysts believe — and Velvet holds its position as a leading platform, the upside is significant.
Conservative estimate: $2.50–$6.00 Bullish estimate: $8.00–$15.00+
Real product with real users: 100,000+ users, active TVL, measurable protocol revenue
DeFAI narrative is one of the strongest thematic tailwinds in crypto in 2026
Revenue-backed buybacks create a direct link between platform success and token value
Synthetic pre-IPO markets are genuinely novel and attract crossover audiences
Strong backers: YZi Labs (Binance Labs), DWF, Selini, Gate Labs
ve(3,3) model encourages long-term locking and reduces liquid supply
Major unlock event in December 2026: 13.5M tokens/month is significant supply pressure
Low TVL relative to market cap: fundamentals don't fully justify current valuation
DWF Labs transfers: 6.68M tokens moved to exchanges in June 2026, potential sell pressure
Regulatory risk on synthetic pre-IPO products: SEC and global regulators watching closely
Competitive DeFi terminal market: dYdX, GMX, Hyperliquid, and others compete aggressively
VELVET is best treated as a high-conviction, high-risk thematic bet on the DeFAI category. Position size carefully and monitor the December 2026 unlock closely.
In February 2026, Velvet shipped one of its most significant product updates, the AI Signals module and Turbo Trading feature. The AI Signals module gives users algorithmically generated entry and exit signals based on on-chain activity, wallet flows, and market structure data. Turbo Trading is a streamlined execution mode that strips away unnecessary steps, allowing experienced traders to execute complex cross-chain trades in fewer clicks.
This update also introduced smarter DeFAI tools, enhancing the Velvet Unicorn AI copilot's ability to synthesize real-time on-chain data with AI analysis, providing traders with context-aware recommendations rather than generic market summaries. The February update established Velvet as a serious competitor to both traditional trading terminals and emerging AI-native crypto platforms.
April 2026 marked a major product milestone: Perpetual Futures Trading went live on Velvet Capital. The launch was celebrated with a Blue Chip Perps competition, a trading contest focused on BTC, ETH, and SOL perpetual positions, awarding prizes to top performers and driving significant new user acquisition.
April also saw the teaser announcement for Velvet X, a new social trading platform being built within the Velvet ecosystem. The teaser generated significant community excitement, with many traders comparing the concept to a DeFi-native version of eToro's social trading features, but executed entirely on-chain with AI augmentation.
Additionally, in April 2026, Velvet Capital completed a token swap with Safe Foundation, one of the most trusted smart wallet and multi-sig infrastructure providers in Ethereum. This partnership deepens Velvet's commitment to non-custodial fund security and aligns two of the DeFi space's most security-conscious teams.
The May 2026 update was arguably the most content-rich month in Velvet's history:
Velvet X officially launched as an invite-only SocialFi trading platform combining AI, social trading, real-time discovery, and trade execution. Described by the team as being "built for traders who want an unfair advantage," Velvet X allows users to:
Follow top traders and mirror their strategies on-chain
Share trade setups and analysis in a social feed
Discover trending tokens and alpha through community-curated signals
Execute discovered trades directly without leaving the platform
The invite-only launch created significant buzz, with waitlist sign-ups exceeding expectations and driving VELVET token demand as holders were prioritized for early access.
Building on April's launch, May 2026 saw perpetual futures trading expanded with additional trading pairs, improved liquidation engines, and tighter spreads. Velvet's perp interface introduced features typically found only on centralized exchanges, including a live funding rate dashboard, position health indicators, and one-click leverage adjustment.
The Velvet Unicorn AI copilot received a significant upgrade in May, with multi-agent capabilities enhanced to allow simultaneous monitoring of multiple portfolio positions and automated alert generation when predefined conditions are met on any supported chain.
June 2026 will go down as the most significant month in Velvet Capital's history to date.
Velvet integrated with Trade.xyz, a cross-chain intent trading protocol, extending its execution capabilities and improving routing efficiency across all seven supported chains. This was the technical foundation that enabled smoother performance during the subsequent high-volume surge.
The most headline-generating product launch in Velvet's history: synthetic leveraged markets for SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. In a June 11 post on X, Velvet announced that traders could now speculate on SpaceX's valuation ahead of its anticipated public debut via the SPCX synthetic market.
This product went viral immediately. The combination of three of the world's most searched brand names (SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic) with a genuine DeFi innovation generated media coverage beyond crypto-native channels, appearing in mainstream tech and financial publications. VELVET's price surged from ~$0.40 to ~$1.87 in the days following the announcement.
The scale of the move: VELVET gained over 1,400% in the week leading to June 12 one of the highest weekly gains recorded by a token with a $300M+ market cap in 2026.
Simultaneously with the pre-IPO narrative, Velvet consolidated all protocol-owned liquidity on Base to Aerodrome Finance. This was both a strategic and a marketing move. Aerodrome is the largest and most visible DEX on Base, with a large and engaged community. By moving liquidity there, Velvet:
Gained immediate visibility to Aerodrome's user base
Improved execution quality for all VELVET traders on Base
Strengthened its position within the Base ecosystem, one of the fastest-growing L2 networks in 2026
Following a consolidation period, VELVET launched a second major leg. From a $0.39 low on June 26, the token surged to an all-time high of $2.16 on June 29, a 450%+ gain in three days on continued momentum from the Aerodrome integration and fresh trader interest from the DeFAI and pre-IPO narratives.
The $2.16 ATH confirmed VELVET's position as one of the top-performing DeFAI tokens of mid-2026 and attracted significant media attention across CoinDesk, BeInCrypto, Crypto.news, KuCoin, and Bloomberg.
Velvet Capital has been running regular live sessions on X, directly engaging traders, answering questions about the protocol, and teasing upcoming product launches. These live events have become a key part of the team's community strategy, creating a regular touchpoint between developers and the trading community.
One of Velvet's most consistent marketing tools is its Substack-based blog, where the team publishes detailed monthly update posts (February, April, and May are confirmed in 2026). Each update covers product launches, partnerships, TVL growth, upcoming features, and ecosystem news. This transparency-first approach has built strong community trust and keeps VELVET consistently in the conversation on crypto research platforms and aggregators.
Velvet has maintained its points system rewarding active users with points that have historically translated into token distributions. The Season 1 and Season 2 points programs resulted in the 25% airdrop at TGE. An upgraded points and staking module is in development for the next phase of community incentives, keeping existing users engaged and attracting new participants who missed the earlier seasons.
In a notable operational improvement, Velvet integrated with DFlow to enhance Solana trade execution quality. DFlow provides better fill rates, improved pricing, and faster routing especially important during volatile market conditions like those seen during VELVET's June rallies. This integration, while technical in nature, was a meaningful quality-of-life improvement for Solana-based traders on the platform.
The most critical upcoming event for VELVET is the December 2026 cliff unlock, when team (26%) and investor (24%) tokens become eligible for distribution. Monthly releases of 13.5M tokens will begin. The impact on price will depend heavily on whether protocol growth can absorb the new supply.
Velvet has teased the development of Intent OS a next-generation intent-based trading system that would allow users to specify complex multi-step trading strategies in natural language, with the AI copilot and protocol infrastructure executing them automatically. If delivered, this would be a genuine product moat.
Velvet already covers 7 chains, but the roadmap includes continued expansion. New high-growth chains such as Berachain and additional Solana-native protocols are expected to be integrated.
As VELVET's market cap and volume grow, listing on additional Tier-1 centralized exchanges would dramatically expand its investor base. Each new major listing typically creates a significant price catalyst.
SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic were the opening act. Stripe, xAI, Anduril, and other high-profile private companies could follow each with the potential to recreate the viral marketing effect that drove the June 2026 rally.
Velvet Capital enters H2 2026 as one of the most active and innovative protocols in the DeFAI space. The June 2026 rally of 250% to 300%+ was not speculative noise; it was the market's response to genuinely novel products at the intersection of DeFi, AI, and mainstream financial narratives.
For traders and investors tracking VELVET, the $1.52–$1.60 support zone is the key near-term level, the December 2026 unlock is the key risk event, and new product announcements (Velvet X growth, Intent OS, additional synthetic markets) are the key upside catalysts.
This is a protocol worth watching closely not just for the token price but for what it represents: the early architecture of AI-native on-chain finance.
Velvet (VELVET) is the native token of Velvet Capital, an AI-powered DeFi trading terminal operating across 7 blockchains. The platform combines spot trading, perpetual futures, non-custodial vaults, and an AI copilot (Velvet Unicorn) into a single interface. VELVET is used for governance, staking, fee discounts, and earning a share of protocol revenue.
Velvet's June 2026 surge was driven by three stacked catalysts: the Trade.xyz integration (June 3), the launch of synthetic pre-IPO markets for SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic (June 11–12), and the migration of all protocol liquidity to Aerodrome on Base (June 26–29). These catalysts were amplified by a short squeeze that liquidated over $2.5M in short positions and sent derivatives volume up 876%.
You can buy and trade Velvet (VELVET) directly on SunCrypto using INR, no crypto conversion required. SunCrypto also supports VELVET futures trading with both INR and USDT margin options, making it a complete one-stop platform for Indian investors looking to access VELVET in spot and derivatives markets.
The all-time high for Velvet (VELVET) is approximately $2.16, reached on June 29, 2026, following the announcement of the Aerodrome liquidity migration. Prior to this, the first local ATH of $1.85–$1.87 was set on June 12, 2026, during the pre-IPO synthetic market launch.
VELVET is a multi-chain token deployed across Base, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, with the Velvet Capital platform additionally supporting trading on Solana, Hyperliquid, Monad, and Sonic, seven chains total from a single interface.
Velvet Unicorn is Velvet Capital's AI copilot, a multi-agent AI system embedded into the trading terminal. It allows users to research tokens, analyze on-chain data, view AI-generated signals, and prepare and execute trades using natural language. It is positioned as an intelligent trading assistant rather than a simple chatbot.
Velvet launched synthetic tokenized markets offering leveraged exposure to shares of private companies, including SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. These are synthetic instruments, not actual equity, but they allow crypto traders to speculate on the valuations of these companies before their expected public listings.
VELVET is a high-risk speculative asset. While the project has real technology, real users, and credible backers, it also faces significant risks, including upcoming token unlocks (starting December 2026), regulatory scrutiny on synthetic pre-IPO products, and competitive pressure from established perpetual DEXs. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
veVELVET is the vote-escrowed version of VELVET, received by staking VELVET for a defined lock period (up to 4 years). veVELVET grants fee discounts, governance voting rights, and a share of protocol revenue distributed via buybacks. The longer the lock, the more veVELVET received.
The total supply of VELVET is 1 billion (1,000,000,000) tokens. As of June 2026, approximately 420.83 million are in public circulation, with the remainder locked under vesting schedules for the team, investors, and ecosystem development.
