YFI, the governance token that powers decentralized finance protocol yEarn, or yearn.finance, today leapt past $20,000, surpassing Bitcoin's all-time high.
The cost of a single YFI token is $22,686, as of press time. It has increased by 25% in the past 24 hours, according to data from metrics site CoinMarketCap.
YFI is a governance token, meaning that holders can pledge it to cast their vote on policy proposals that influence the future of the yEarn network. But YFI is also held as a speculative asset, central to something known as "yield farming," where DeFi lending protocols offer governance tokens as incentives for using them.
All this despite YFI token creator Andre Cronje describing YFI in mid-July as “a completely valueless 0 supply token.” He told yEarn users: "Don’t buy it. Earn it."
yEarn is a DeFi platform that lets users compare yields between different DeFi lending protocols and earn extra yields by placing their crypto in "vaults" with other users.
Bitcoin is currently worth about $11,500. That means that the price of a single YFI token is almost double the price of a single Bitcoin. And it's even higher than Bitcoin's all-time high: about $20,000 in December 2017.
One of the reasons that YFI is valued so highly is that its supply is very low. Just 29,962 YFI tokens exist, small potatoes compared to the 18 million Bitcoin in circulation.

New York prosecutors tried and failed to solicit the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion on Ethereum to bolster their case against KuCoin in 2023, according to newly released SEC records acquired by Coinbase. The exchange is one of many private conversations unearthed by a Coinbase FOIA request, offering a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes politicking that has shaped U.S. authorities’ approach toward the crypto industry over the past few years. In an email dated June 2023, the New York A...
Layer-1 blockchain Aptos saw an increase in new developer interest following the viral social media campaign from user BuzzlamicJihad. So much so that Ash Pampati, head of ecosystem at Aptos, told Decrypt that the Aptos Foundation would be “super open” to bringing the user onto its team. Aptos surged 17% in a single day in February, as BuzzlamicJihad’s unofficial “community takeover” of the network went viral on social media. Following Aptos Labs founder and CEO Mo Shaikh stepping down in Decemb...
Ethereum's Pectra upgrade went live without a hitch—but it didn't serve as rocket fuel for ETH's price. The world's second-largest cryptocurrency was trading sideways after the long-awaited code changes were finalized on Wednesday. ETH is currently hovering at about $1,830, meaning it's continuing to trade 40% lower than it was this time last year. It was a similar story after Ethereum completed "The Merge," and made the ambitious switch from proof of work to proof of stake consensus. Back in S...
