A new crypto asset just ripped past Bitcoin’s all-time high.
YFI, the governance token of the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Yearn.Finance, is now $24,580 – up 40% in the last 24 hours alone.
The coin is now worth significantly more than than BTC’s high-water mark of $20,089 set on December 17th, 2017.
YFI launched on July 18th of this year and has surged a staggering 71,084% in just over a month, according to CoinGecko. Crypto analyst Josh Rager says the coin is just getting started.
