  • They also revealed that Yearn’s treasury has “more than $45 million saved up and with earnings stronger than ever, expect much more aggressive buybacks.”
  • In a separate Twitter thread, analyst Adam Cochran detailed the move and also outlined other initiatives that Yearn is working on, including a revised tokenomics “to do a fee distribution to holders, currently looking at veCRV model xSushi models.”
  • All this seems to have had a considerable impact on the price of its native token – YFI.
  • At the time of this writing, YFI trades at around $27,000. Just a couple of days ago, the token dipped to around $19,000.
  • This gives an increase of about 41% in the past three days, 30% of which came in the past 24 hours alone.
