HTXyearn.finance: the road down from its high
yearn.finance trades at $1,888 today — −98.0% from its $95,000 high set in May 2021. A fall that deep means something simple: returning to that level would take a 50× rise.
From low to high
Over 6 years the price of yearn.finance has moved between $1,581 and $95,000. The low came in July 2026, the high in May 2021.
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −96.7%: from the peak in April 2021 to the bottom in June 2026, taking 62 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.
It has been 66 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.
What the years show
The best full year was 2023 at +58.7%. The worst was 2022 at −84.6%. Of 5 full years, 2 closed up and 3 closed down.
Falling years outnumber rising ones — but the spread between the best and worst year matters more than the count: that is what tells you what to be ready for.
The current year stands at −42.2%, ranging from $1,581 to $3,838.
Months: how many closed up
Of 73 closed months, 29 finished up and 44 finished down — 40% of months were rising ones. The average month returned +0.0%.
The strongest month on record was November 2020 at +152%; the hardest was October 2020 at −56.0%.
Does YFI have a seasonal pattern
On average YFI did best in November: +37.7% across 6 observations, 3 of them positive. It did worst in June: −16.3% across 6 observations.
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 6 observations is 6 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $1,581 to $95,000, with a drawdown of −96.7%.
What is useful right now is this: YFI costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner. Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer. And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
