Playing low and selling high, the 1inch team will make a steady profit by speculating in the spot?

Original author: 1912212.eth, Foresight News

The market is changing, and countless well-known traders have come and gone, who have briefly stepped onto the crypto stage, relying on huge amounts of money and high leverage to attract a lot of attention. However, in a volatile market, "coming and going fast" is the norm. James Wynn disappeared from the stage after losing tens of millions of dollars back and forth in contracts, and tens of millions of dollars in short orders of "insider trade@qwatio rs" were swept out by the violent rally in the market.

However, due to the recent recovery of the crypto market and the skyrocketing price of 1inch, the community has begun to circulate that the 1inch team is good at spot operations in the secondary market. What is the truth?

Play buy low and sell high

Founded in 2019 by Sergej Kunz and Anton Bukov, 1inch aims to solve the pain points of liquidity fragmentation in decentralized finance. The platform aggregates liquidity from multiple DEXs such as Uniswap and SushiSwap to ensure that users get the best exchange rates. The 1inch investment fund is managed by a team that is responsible for treasury and strategic investments, often making bold moves that influence the price and market sentiment of the 1INCH token.

Since the last cycle, the 1INCH token has fallen from $6 to around $0.3 today. The performance of its own tokens can be described as very sluggish. However, its team forced its own tokens to buy low and sell high.

Unlike retail investors chasing hype, the 1inch team focuses on value accumulation and opportunistic trading.

This approach has raised questions about insider strength, but proponents see it as a sign of good execution. As of July 2025, their performance in the crypto market recovery has become a vivid example of resilience and timing. （0x225d3822de44e58ee935440e0c0b829c4232086e）

• At around 5 p.m. on July 10, the team investment fund purchased 4.12 million 1INCH ($880,000), and then transferred another 2 million USDT to Binance, at which the price of 1INCH was $0.2.

• On the evening of July 11, according to the on-chain analyst Aunt Ai, the 1inch team is suspected of buying 11.81 million 1INCH again, worth $3.3 million, at a proposed price of $0.28. At present, the address has 83.97 million 1INCH, with a total value of $23.72 million.

• At around 3 p.m. on July 13, the team withdrew 6.334 million 1INCH again after transferring USDT to Binance. As of this time, the 1inch team investment fund has spent a total of $13.64 million to purchase 55.85 million 1INCH since February, with an average price of $0.244. Floating surplus of millions of dollars.

• At around 10 p.m. on July 13, his team sold 904,000 1INCHES at $0.33 for $298,000. However, on the same day, his team transferred 2 million USDC at about 7 p.m.

• Since July 10, when investment funds bought coins, the price of 1INCH has risen from around $0.2, and even touched above $0.39 on July 13, an increase of nearly 1 times.

If this is just an easy way to buy low and sell high, then daring to buy BTC against the trend at the beginning of this year has to be amazing.

The 160.8 WBTC purchased by the 1INCH Team Investment Fund at an average price of $88, 395 between February 2 and March 10 have all been sold at an average price of $94, 219, making a profit of $936,000.

As shown in the red box, the market panic phase from February to the end of April this year, when countless market voices said that the bull market was over, and it was bold and careful to be able to increase positions at this time.

Success comes from execution, not chasing

One of the 1inch team's earliest well-known transactions dates back to late 2023, when they executed a flawless "arbitrage-style" operation on Uniswap's UNI token. On November 17, 2023, 1inch Investment Fund sold 416,924 UNI at an average price of $5.11 for about $2.13 million in USDC. A few days later, they bought back 420, 828 UNI for the same amount of $5.06, a little more. Subsequently, when the price rose, they sold it all at $6.29 just 5 hours after the buyback, earning about $2.65 million in USDC and a net profit of about $516,000. This trade demonstrates their ability to capitalize on short-term volatility and turn small price movements into significant gains.

What is the "coin speculation" of the 1inch team? First, a deep understanding of DeFi mechanics led them to find the market value low. Second, the counter-cyclical approach: accumulate when you are fearful and sell when you are strong. This echoes traders' advice: avoid impatience on low timeframes and noise drowning out signals. Patience beats frequency. Avoid scalping and focus on volatility. Impatience with a low time frame can easily lead to failure. Diversify risk, but avoid overdoing it.

The 1inch team is not a fluke, but uses data, technology, and discipline to buy low and sell high. The tracking shows that in the 2023-2025 volatility, it continues to profit and influence the market. For retail investors, this is a reminder that success comes from execution, not chasing. In the future, their trading performance will continue to be very interesting to the market.
