YFI, the governance token for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol yearn.finance, last night peaked at $38,682. That is almost quadruple Bitcoin's price of $11,596 and almost twice Bitcoin's all-time high of $20,000.
yearn.finance aggregates all the different yields of different DeFi protocols in one neat website. It also lets users invest in 'vaults', where people earn yields together. A yield refers to the interest earned by lending out your coins on various lending protocols. In addition to earning interest on your crypto, you can earn so-called governance tokens, like YFI—a kind of loyalty program for DeFi.
Though their creators intended for governance tokens to empower holders to vote on proposals to update the network, in reality they're held as speculative assets. YFI is among the most popular. It has increased by 66% in the past 24 hours, according to data from metrics site CoinMarketCap.
The growth is crazy: on Friday morning, it was worth just $14,300. Trading of the token has boomed, too. On Friday, the daily trading volume of the coin was $68 million. Now, it's $879 million.
YFI token spinoff YFII has joined along for the ride. On Friday morning, it was worth $935. It has since increased by more than 5x, to $5,075 as of this writing.
It's the latest twist in a crazy day: YFII, the spinoff of—and stick with us here—YFI, has risen 222% in the past day, from $1,154 to its current price, $3,781. YFII's big day coincides with a record-breaking one for YFI, which recently surpassed $26,000, far more than Bitcoin's all-time high, and more than double its current price of $11,507. Confused? A primer: YFI is a governance token of yEarn, or yearn.finance, a decentralized finance (DeFi) app that aggregates the yields of various DeFi le...
One of the reasons why both of the tokens are worth so much is because of their scarce supply. YFI has a total supply of 30,000, and YFII has a total supply of 38,750. Bitcoin, by comparison, has a token supply of 18 million.

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay, Myanmar, last Friday, leaving the immediate area devastated with at least 2,000 people dead and over 3,400 injured, with the number expected to rise as data from neighboring countries such as Thailand comes in. The 10-kilometer deep quake released energy comparable to hundreds of nuclear explosions, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey. It was the most powerful earthquake to have hit Myanmar since 1912 and so far is the second deadlie...
