YFI Price Breakdown: How Far can It Go
There is no doubt the upside for growth as far as YFI goes is huge. This is already a very successful coin with a decent track record in the market. But an aggressive buyback program from Yearn Finance could easily put the coin into huge values.
In fact, analysts note that Yearn Finance on average, makes USD 100 million a year in fees alone. The protocol also has nearly $5 billion in total value locked against a market cap of around $781 million. With all these numbers, it is clear that Yearn Finance has enough liquidity on its books to fund an “aggressive” YFI buyback program.
Is it time to Buy YFI?
Yes, of course, it is. The fact that Yearn Finance wants to buy back as much YFI as it can is reason enough to believe the coin will surge. Besides, a 4-day bull run pushed the coin well over 30% in gains. Imagine what a sustained buyback program could do? And besides, the fundamentals of Yearn as a protocol are still very positive.
