DFI.Money price prediction: Where next for YFII?
DFI.Money is giving crypto investors the chance to earn the best staking rewards. Its aggregator automatically puts investors’ funds to work and guarantees “high yield profits” – according to its own website.
After experiencing a successful first year, its native token, YFII ,has proved vulnerable to bear markets, and the value has crashed along with the protocol’s total value locked (TVL). Some price prediction websites, such as TechNewsLeader, have said they expect YFII to gain yet more value in the coming months, but not all are convinced.
What is DFI.Money (YFII)?
DFI.Money goes under the ticker YFII, as it originated as a fork from the Yearn Finance (YFI) protocol. It is hoping to be an improved decentralised finance (DeFi) aggregator where investors can lock in their crypto funds and automatically earn the highest yield.
To stand apart from its originator Yearn Finance, DFI.Money has launched new products. This includes its vault service. Investors can deposit certain assets and gain iTokens of the relevant currency, such as iETH or iUSDC. By owning these iTokens, users will gain yield just by holding them.
Its documentation revealed:
DFI.Money was founded by an anonymous group of users out of a frustration with Yearn Finance’s government procedures, where a proposal that gained 80% support was denied because it did not meet the 33% of total holders threshold.
Community-focused token
The team created its YFII token with the community in mind. There was no pre-mining, initial coin offering or development team rewards. Instead, the initial way to get your hands on the cryptocurrency is to provide liquidity. DFI.Money has since listed on numerous exchanges, both centralised and decentralised exchanges.
After the founding team’s experience with Yearn Finance, YFII was created with governance in mind. Its documentation explains:

By the following month, the cryptocurrency had consolidated at around the $1,000 mark. It saw slight gains in February 2021, when a YFII PancakeSwap pool went live, offering 203% APY. DFI.Money surged above $3,000 on 13 February 2021.

The token soared even higher in August that year. It rallied past $4,500 early that month and went on to a peak of $7,629.82 on 31 August 2021.
DFI.Money then fell along with the wider bearish market, plummeting throughout the rest of 2021 and into the new year. YFII eventually crashed below its launch price in May 2022, when it fell to a low of $497.28.
This has corresponded with a drop in the protocol’s TVL, from $1.15m in February 2021 to under $100,000 in late August 2022, according to DeFi Llama.
YFII gained slightly since its May low, hitting $1,000.76 as August came to a close. Steady gains followed, with YFII rising to a three-month high of $1,953.47 on 9 November 2022.
As of 21 November 2022, the token is trading at approximately $1,757.35.

When considering a YFII coin price prediction, it is important to keep in mind that cryptocurrency markets remain extremely volatile, making it difficult to accurately predict what a coin or token’s price will be in a few hours, and even harder to give long-term estimates. As such, analysts and algorithm-based forecasters can and do get their predictions wrong.
If you are considering investing in cryptocurrency tokens, we recommend that you always do your own research. Look at the latest market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinions before making any investment decision. Keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future returns, and never trade with money that you cannot afford to lose.
