It’s quickly becoming a staple, a blue-chip at 30,000 max supply.For investors who continue to pour money in, further bullish news was just around the corner. The world’s largest Bitcoin future’s trading platform OKEx just announced that it was including YFI in its latest cohort of listings. Further, lending protocol Aave also announced that YFI is now available on its platform.
