Yield Basis YB

What YB actually is on-chain

Yield Basis is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x01791F726B4103694969820be083196cC7c045fF. That address, not the ticker YB, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself YB, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, YB is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in YB itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For YB the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @yieldbasis. Both a written specification and readable code exist, which is a materially higher bar than most assets in this size range clear. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where YB sits in the market

Ranked #853, Yield Basis falls in the upper small-cap band. The order book absorbs size poorly at this depth: one meaningful market order can reprice the tape by several percent before it retraces minutes later. A lone static price target therefore fires on noise, and what you want is a condition built to survive that wick. Venue coverage is narrow, which makes volume-based delisting a concrete risk rather than a theoretical one.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 4 live YB order books (Binance, OKX, Gate.io, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #853 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

YB against its all-time high

YB trades 92.5% below its $0.8185 record (on 2025-10-15), which puts a 13.3x recovery between spot and that level. A drawdown of this size is usually a structural break rather than a correction — the market that set the high and the market trading today are not the same market. Using that print as a price objective is not a conservative assumption, it is a very aggressive one. That high was set about a year ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

YB across its historical range

The recorded range is comparatively narrow: 8.34x between $0.0981 and $0.8185. Either the price history is short, or the asset is designed not to move.

At -37.3% above its record low of $0.0981 (on 2026-03-30), YB sits near the edge of its own price history. Nothing has traded beneath that level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster underneath. Because that low is itself recent, the asset is in an active downtrend rather than sitting at an old floor — each new low invalidates the previous one as a reference.

YB supply and valuation data

Yield Basis sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for YB but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $96.9 million as of 2026-05-12. That places it in the top 10% by fully diluted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset YB is

Yield Basis is a DeFi protocol token, which ties it to total value locked and to the interest-rate environment on-chain. These assets carry a beta to the market plus a second exposure that is easy to miss: protocol risk. A contract exploit or an oracle failure repriced instantly and independently of any market move, and that tail is a real component of holding the token.

CoinGecko files YB under 4 categories, including Decentralized Finance (DeFi), BNB Chain Ecosystem, Ethereum Ecosystem, Binance Wallet IDO. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading.

How to set a Yield Basis alert that is worth receiving

Yield Basis is the ERC-20 at 0x0179…45fF on Ethereum — quoted on 4 venues we stream — high dated 2025-10-15 — rank #853. On this profile the condition that carries signal is thresholds anchored to the recent range rather than to the all-time high.
