The crypto market saw a sharp rally on June 12, led by five tokens posting daily gains from 24% to 111.5%. Velvet (VELVET) topped the list with an 111.5% surge, while Stargate Finance (STG) added 170% over the past week. No single catalyst tied the moves together; instead, partnership news, exchange listings, and trust recovery drove each token individually.
Velvet: Partnership Announcement Pushes Price to All-Time High
Velvet (VELVET) jumped from $0.79 to $1.83, a 111.5% gain that set a new all-time high. It now trades at $1.66 with a $704 million market cap and $103 million in 24-hour volume. The trigger: XRPS publicly confirmed a collaboration with Velvet Capital to build DeFi infrastructure within the XRP Supercycle ecosystem. A single tweet sent the token to its peak, indicating demand was already building before the announcement.
NAWS.AI: AI Token Trend Fuels 70% Climb
NAWS.AI (NAWS) rose from $0.0042 to $0.0077, a 70%+ move. It sits at $0.007339 with a $14.6 million market cap and thin volume of $104,855. No confirmed catalyst, but the broader AI token rally—driven by projects like Sahara AI and Ozak AI—appears to be pulling NAWS higher. Small-cap AI tokens often move in clusters; when one breaks out, others follow quickly.
Yooldo Games: KuCoin Listing and Binance Speculation Drive 250% Weekly Gain
Yooldo Games (ESPORTS) surged from $0.088 to $0.261, a 63% daily gain. Currently at $0.1535, market cap $22.1 million, 24-hour volume $25.9 million. The token is up 250% over the past week.

Stargate Finance: Volume Surges on Fantom Wind-Down Rumors
Stargate Finance (STG) moved from $0.41 to $0.66, up 50%. It now trades at $0.6117 with a $71.6 million market cap and a striking $160.4 million in 24-hour trading volume—far above the market cap, pointing to serious buying beyond retail speculation. STG is up 170% over the past week. Traders believe the move is linked to the impending wind-down of the Fantom network, though no official confirmation exists.
Humanity Protocol: Transparency After Hack Restores 24% Gain
