When you’re tracking digital earnings, real returns from online investments like crypto, ETFs, and DeFi protocols. Also known as online investment income, it’s not about guesses—it’s about what actually moved money in June 2025. This wasn’t a month of hype. It was a month where Bitcoin dipped below $60K, but stablecoin yields jumped past 8% on decentralized platforms. Ethereum ETFs saw their biggest weekly inflows since March, and a handful of DeFi protocols quietly replaced centralized lending apps as the go-to for passive income.
That’s the thing about crypto, digital assets traded on decentralized networks, often used for speculation and yield generation. Also known as cryptocurrencies, it didn’t move because of Elon tweets. It moved because new liquidity pools on Uniswap V4 started offering better returns than Coinbase Earn. Meanwhile, ETFs, exchange-traded funds that track assets like Bitcoin or gold and trade like stocks. Also known as market-traded funds, it became the quiet winner—retail investors poured $1.2 billion into spot Bitcoin ETFs in just 11 days, while gold ETFs bled out. And DeFi, decentralized finance systems that let you lend, borrow, and earn without banks. Also known as blockchain-based finance, it didn’t crash. It evolved. Protocols like Aave and Compound updated their risk models to handle volatile collateral, and users who switched from centralized staking to on-chain liquidity mining saw 30% higher APYs.
What you’ll find in this archive isn’t theory. It’s what people actually did. How one investor locked $5K into a new DeFi vault and turned it into $5,600 in 28 days. Why a simple ETF rebalance outperformed a crypto portfolio that chased memecoins. Which tools actually tracked real yields, not just advertised ones. No fluff. No recycled news. Just the moves that changed returns in June 2025—and how you can use them next time.
