- YFI’s price jumped more than 100 percent versus the US dollar.
- Over the last five days, the price of YFI has risen by over 47%.
Yearn.finance (YFI) seems to be on the verge of a price correction following a five-day streak of gains. The negative outlook is mostly due to insufficient purchasing volume and overbought dangers.
Over the last five days, the price of YFI has risen by over 47% to $41,970, as investors shifted funds away from the “top-cap” cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) in search of more immediate gains in the altcoin market. Traders’ increased interest in YFI markets was sparked by a token repurchase scheme, though.
Yearn.finance said on Dec. 16 that it had bought YFI tokens worth over $7.5 million on the open market, averaging $26,651 per token. Further YFI buybacks will be funded using the company’s additional treasury liquidity of $45 million.
Community Members Proposal
YFI community members have suggested that the YFI Treasury allocate some token repurchases to reward Yearn Governance participants. The proposal is now being voted on.
📊 #DeFi assets are showing some nice signs of growth to kick off 2022. $YFI, $UNI, and $AAVE are all ticking up nicely thus far with the first Monday of the year looking #bullish for several #altcoins. https://t.co/8ujolCvt5z pic.twitter.com/ASpf1dUbtn
