Most cryptocurrency platforms only let you trade. Would you be surprised to know that there are exchanges that behave just like traditional banks? Yield has beautifully brought traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) together to give its customers an amazing digital banking experience.

What is Yield?

Yield Defi is a contemporary, secure, and licensed platform bridging traditional and decentralized finances that offers high-return investment funds on cryptocurrencies. Yield launched its own token YLD (find whitepaper here) on December 14, 2020, which mainly began trading on two exchanges: Uniswap and BitMax.

The token has a maximum supply of 300 million and an initial circulating supply of approximately 33.3 million out of which 26 million tokens were distributed to investors, 4 million went to liquidity and marketing, 2 million went to company reserves and BitMax, and 1 million has been stored for staking rewards.

Since Yield is fairly new, the online platform is only underway and hasn’t been launched yet. They’ve announced to gradually release the platform to 50 randomly selected users once every 24 hours, by email, who will use the very first version of the Yield web app and suggest ways to improve it before its full release.

2021 is going to be an enormous year for Yield with the launching of the mobile app and partner-ups with exchanges for fiat integration. Yield is going to be a fully functioning platform with multiple investment funds, crypto wallets, fiat ramps, a bank card program, and interest-bearing savings accounts by the end of the year.

Key Propositions

Hold your YLD tokens to gain an interest rate that ranges between 12 and 20%. Fund your account with USDT or USDC, and invest part or all of your funds into one of YIELD’s managed portfolios. This earns you daily income at a minimum rate of 12% APY. To ensure the continuous supply of YLD tokens, they’re distributed as rewards to users through the YIELD Loyalty & Rewards program. YIELD will also periodically purchase YLD tokens on the open market for treasury re-balancing and the details will be displayed on their website to ensure transparency.
