spring week cv advice

I am currently a year 13 student (currently sitting a levels), starting at Warwick (for economics) in September. I'm aware that in general, spring weeks are very competitive and right now I have a lull inbetween my a level papers, so was wondering what things I could be doing this summer (or in my free time in general) to make myself more competitive. I believe the recruiting timeline for spring weeks is very early and happens almost immediately after you join uni, so I want my cv and all my experience/skills to be ready for day 1 of uni. I intend to join finance/hedge fund/poker and adjacent socs at warwick, and apply for executive, leadership or analyst positions, but I'm unsure how strong they look on an application (as most other applicants will likely be in similar socs, so I'm unsure if firms will even care). Attached is my current CV. I already have some experience, but due to the nature of it and the poor reputation that digital assets (and that wider industry) have in finance, I am worried that it either won't be understood by recruiters or it will actively harm my application. I would appreciate any advice on what I could do this summer to make myself a more competitive applicant for spring weeks, and if the nature of my current CV will actively work against me in applications (due to the digital asset focus).
