What is yearn.finance?

yearn.finance (YFI) is a DeFi protocol governance token currently ranked 322nd by market capitalization across all crypto assets we track. DeFi governance tokens grant voting rights over protocol parameters and, in some cases, a share of protocol revenue.

Market position

At the current price of $1,839, yearn.finance carries a market capitalization of $62.08M. Daily trading volume across exchanges sits at roughly $3.43M. That works out to a 24-hour turnover of about 5.52% of the float — consistent with healthy market activity for a mid-to-large cap asset.

Supply & dilution

The circulating supply stands at 36,666 YFI. With 100.0% of the maximum supply already issued, future dilution is near-zero — almost all token issuance is behind us.

Volatility profile

Recent price action puts yearn.finance in the High-volatility bucket. The asset has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities. Over the past 30 days, the 30-day move totals -12.15%, which traders should weigh against position sizing and stop-loss placement.

How to evaluate yearn.finance

A balanced read on YFI typically considers three lenses:

  • Network & on-chain activity — does usage justify the valuation? Live activity (above) should ideally trend up over time.
  • Cycle position — current price relative to ATH (above) sets the risk/reward asymmetry. Closer to ATL is mathematically lower downside; closer to ATH is higher downside.
  • Comparable assets — how is YFI performing against the broader crypto market (BTC, total market cap) and against peers in the same sector? The benchmarks chart on this page shows this directly.

This page combines live market data, on-chain stats where available, exchange-by-exchange volume, and our forecast model so you can answer those three questions in one place. Nothing on this page is investment advice — it's a structured starting point for your own due diligence.
