Yearn.finance (YFI) is soaring sky-high as Bitcoin drives to new year-to-date highs. The altcoin is up 20% in the past 24 hours alone, soaring from under $20,000 to daily highs closer to $25,000.
As of this article’s writing, YFI trades for $23,700, as it met a bit of a roadblock after peaking at the local highs.
Yearn.finance Explodes Higher Amid DeFi Bull Run
What was exciting about this rally is that it took place over a few hours. At the turn of the day, YFI rocketed $4,000 higher within an hour, liquidating innumerable short position holders on margin exchanges such as Binance.
This occurred after a $1,000-1,500 rally in an hour just hours before this newest leg higher.
YFI’s price performance has been notably volatile over recent weeks due to coordinated buying and the too-high futures volume seen with the Yearn.finance coin.
Trader “Hsaka” recommended that it resembles that there are many traders in this market that are seriously underexposed to YFI, AAVE, and other tokens in the space:
“Lot of chatter about an alts carnage. Alts have shat the bed harder on $150 $BTC sneezes. Think it’s mostly a narrative desperately trying to be shoehorned in from those sidelined/underexposed. My pocket rockets, $YFI and $AAVE are up 3x & 2x since Initial Shill Offering.”
What’s Making the YFI Bulls to Rally?
Pushing the YFI rally are significant improvements, namely a developing total locked value in Yearn’s yVaults and an increase in these products’ yields.
Because of the rally in the DeFi market, yields in the space have begun to rise as farming tokens like CRV rally and as there is more financing activity from larger players.
Yearn. finance’s yields have been rallying. As an effect, prompting more cash flows to YFI holders.
Continued primary strength in all of DeFi should end up having a positive effect on YFI in particular. The coin is affected by macro DeFi constituents as it is seen as a dividend-yielding asset from Yearn.finance usage.
YFI rests far below its $44,000 all-time high despite the recent rally off the $7,500 lows it reached just weeks ago.
