The market is ever-changing, with countless renowned traders coming and going. They briefly took the spotlight in the crypto arena, attracting attention with their massive capital and high leverage. However, under significant volatility, the norm is "what comes quickly goes quickly." James Wynn disappeared from the stage after losing tens of millions of dollars in back-and-forth contracts, and the tens of millions of dollars short position of "insider trader @qwatio" was swept out by a violent market rebound. Victorious figures in the contract market are not common.

However, recently due to the recovery of the cryptocurrency market and the surge of 1inch, there have been murmurs in the community expressing that the 1inch team is skilled in secondary market spot operations. What is the truth of the matter?

Mastering Buy Low Sell High

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

The 1INCH token has fallen from 6 dollars during the last cycle to around 0.3 dollars now. Its own token performance can be described as very sluggish. However, its team has cleverly played the game of buying low and selling high with their own token.

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

This approach has raised questions about insider advantages, but supporters believe it reflects good execution. As of July 2025, during the recovery of the crypto market, their performance has become a vivid example of resilience and timing. (0x225d3822de44e58ee935440e0c0b829c4232086e)

• On July 10th at around 5 PM, the team investment fund purchased 4.12 million 1INCH (880,000 USD), and then transferred 2 million USDT to Binance. At that time, the price of 1INCH was 0.2 USD;

• On the evening of July 11th, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, the 1inch team is suspected of purchasing 11.81 million 1INCH again, worth 3.3 million dollars, at a proposed price of 0.28 dollars. Currently, that address holds 83.97 million 1INCH, with a total value of 23.72 million dollars.

• On July 13th at around 3 PM, after the team transferred USDT to Binance, they withdrew 6.334 million 1INCH again. Up to this point, the 1inch team's investment fund has spent a total of 13.64 million USD to purchase 55.85 million 1INCH since February, with an average price of 0.244 USD. Floating profits of several million dollars.

• On the evening of July 13th at around 10 PM, their team sold 904,000 1INCH at a price of $0.33, converting it into $298,000. However, on the same day, their team transferred 2 million USDC at around 7 PM.

• Since July 10, when the investment fund started buying coins, the price of 1INCH has risen sharply from around $0.2, even reaching above $0.39 on July 13, nearly doubling in value.

If this is just an easy buy low and sell high for one's own tokens, then daring to buy BTC against the trend at the beginning of this year is truly breathtaking.

The 1INCH team investment fund has sold all 160.8 WBTC purchased at an average price of $88,395 between February 2 and March 10, with an average selling price of $94,219, making a profit of $936,000.

As indicated by the red box, from February to the end of April this year, the market was in a state of panic, with countless voices in the market claiming that the bull market had ended. Being able to increase positions at this time is indeed a sign of boldness and careful consideration.

Success comes from execution, not from pursuit

One of the earliest known trades by the 1inch team dates back to the end of 2023, when they executed a perfect "arbitrage" operation on Uniswap's UNI token. On November 17, 2023, the 1inch investment fund sold 416,924 UNI at an average price of $5.11, exchanging it for approximately $2.13 million USDC. A few days later, they bought back 420,828 UNI for the same amount at a price of $5.06, slightly overbuying. Subsequently, when the price rose, they sold all of it just 5 hours after the repurchase at a price of $6.29, earning approximately $2.65 million USDC, with a net profit of about $516,000. This trade showcased their ability to capitalize on short-term fluctuations, converting small price movements into substantial gains.

Where does the "coin trading prowess" of the 1inch team lie? First, their deep understanding of DeFi mechanisms allows them to identify undervalued market opportunities. Second, they employ a counter-cyclical approach: accumulate during fear and sell during strength. This echoes the advice of traders: avoid impatience in low time frames, where noise drowns out signals. Patience trumps frequency. Avoid scalp trading for small profits, and focus on volatility. Impatience in low time frames can easily lead to failure. Diversify risk, but avoid overdoing it.

The 1inch team is not a group of lucky players; instead, they achieve low buy and high sell through data, technology, and discipline. Tracking shows that during the fluctuations from 2023 to 2025, they consistently profit and influence the market. For retail investors, this serves as a reminder: success comes from execution, not from chasing. In the future, their trading performance will still be very worthy of market attention.
