Yearn Finance is a suite of products in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that provides lending aggregation, yield generation, and insurance on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is maintained by various independent developers and is governed by YFI holders.
It started out as a passion project by Andre Cronje to automate the process of switching capital between lending platforms in search of the best yield offered, as the lending yield is a floating rate rather than fixed rate. Funds are shifted between dYdX, AAVE, and Compound automatically as interest rates change between these protocols.
The service offered includes major USD tokens such as DAI, USDT, USDC, and TUSD. For example, if a user deposits DAI into yearn.finance, the user will receive yDAI token in return, which is a yield-bearing DAI token.
Later on, it collaborated with Curve Finance to release a yield-bearing USD tokens pool that includes four y-tokens: yDAI, yUSDT, yUSDC and yTUSD, it is named as yUSD.
Yearn Finance debuted the vault feature after its token launch, igniting a frenzy on automated yield farming and is considered the initiator of the category of yield farming aggregator. Basically, the vault will help users to claim yield farming rewards and sell it for the underlying assets.
Vaults benefit users by socializing gas costs, automating the yield generation and rebalancing process, and automatically shifting capital as opportunities arise. End users also do not need to have proficient knowledge of the underlying protocols involved or DeFi, thus the Vaults represent a passive-investing strategy. It is akin to a crypto hedge fund where the aim is to increase the amount of assets that users deposited.
yearn.finance turned over $1,263,956 across the venues we index in the last 24 hours, which is 1.53% of its market capitalisation — a figure worth watching, because turnover well above its usual level tends to accompany the sharper moves.
The highest price our index has recorded is $9,038.02 on Jan 6, 2025, leaving YFI −74.57% from that peak.
The lowest is $1,622.23 on Jun 30, 2026, putting the price today +41.66% above that low.
Measured on Coinmico's own index since Jan 1, 2025, not on prices reported by someone else.
yearn.finance is valued at $82,810,606, which ranks it #307 among the assets we track. It is the price of one coin multiplied by the 36,036 YFI in circulation.
At today's price, the full supply of 36,666 YFI would be worth $84,453,315. 98.28% of that supply is already circulating, so the rest is what dilution would still add.
