Velvet (VELVET) has become one of the top-performing crypto assets, surging 124% to $1.33 in a single day, leaving Bitcoin and major altcoins far behind. Daily trading volume exploded 316%, pushing the token’s market cap to $571 million. The rally is directly tied to a new integration with Aerodrome, the leading decentralized exchange on the Base network, which provides Velvet users with deeper liquidity, tighter pricing, and reduced slippage.
Velvet operates a DeFAI framework — combining artificial intelligence with DeFi — to help users analyze opportunities and trade across Ethereum, Solana, Base, BNB Chain, and Sonic. The Aerodrome upgrade significantly improves trade efficiency, acting as the primary catalyst for the pump. From a technical standpoint, VELVET broke above the $0.84 resistance with strong momentum and is now testing the $0.95–$1.08 supply zone. If buyers clear that range, the next liquidity cluster sits near $1.43, while immediate support lies at $1.24.
However, caution is warranted. Wallets linked to the Velvet team have moved roughly $25 million worth of VELVET tokens to centralized exchanges. While such transfers can be for treasury management or operational needs, they also raise concerns about potential sell pressure. Given the token’s daily volume of $67.6 million, this amount is large enough to warrant close monitoring.
Longer-term forecasts from Velvet (VELVET) Price Prediction 2025–2026 remain optimistic but varied. Analysts project a conservative rise to $0.50–$0.80 by late 2025, with a potential surge to $1.20–$1.80 in 2026 if the cross-chain DeFi and NFT ecosystems continue to expand and market conditions stay favorable.
