Even Ether (ETH), the native crypto of Ethereum blockchain which hosts most of the DeFi tokens has also rallied 11% in the past 24 hours.
As per Messari, 32 of 37 DeFi tokens are trading in positive today, with gains in the range of 3% and 39.6%. While Swerve (SWRV) tops the list with a gain of 39.62%, Yearn Finance (YFI) recorded a gain of 37.6%.
It is followed by Loopring (LRC) – 29.9%, Aave (LEND)-29.4% and SushiSwap (SUSHI)-27.8%.
YFI’s rally has come in spite of its heavily anticipated Ether (ETH) vault offering a declining yearly percentage yield (APY) since rolling out roughly a week back.
Nevertheless, the daily return of over 0.1% offered by Vaults, which is the stable coin of Yearn Finance, is providing the upward thrust for the token.
With 136 of 178 ETH based tokens trading with an average gain of 8.3%, DeFi tokens have eclipsed the Ethereum ecosystem. Ampleforth (AMPL) tops the list of Ethereum based tokens with a gain of 84.5%. It is followed by YFI and LRC with a gain of 25.44% and 17.68%. More than 50% of top ten cryptos in terms of gains are DeFi ERC-20 standard based tokens. Solana (SOL) is a notable exception with a gain of 47%.
