What is Yield Basis? Project Overview

Before trading begins, it’s important to understand what sets Yield Basis apart.

The protocol enables users to provide BTC liquidity without impermanent loss, using 2× leveraged positions with crvUSD borrowing. By maintaining a 50% debt / 50% equity ratio and auto-rebalancing, positions track BTC 1:1 while earning Curve trading fees.

• Deposit BTC – Receive ybBTC (2× leveraged LP)

• Earn BTC fees or stake for YB emissions

• Vote-lock YB for governance & fee share

This structure removes IL at the root, rather than masking it with incentives, a significant innovation in DeFi liquidity.

YB Tokenomics Breakdown

Yield Basis operates with a fixed 1 billion token supply, distributed strategically across all the priority areas. While the liquidity incentives and team allocation lead the accumulation with 30% and 25% respectively, ecosystem (12.4%) and Investors (12.1%) getting almost the same. Other portions are according to the planning.

The emission schedule supports long-term growth, with gradual liquidity incentives and team vesting, designed to align incentives over multiple years.

Price Outlook and Early Demand

YB’s pre-listing activity provides clear signals of demand.

During the Binance Pre-TGE , Yield Basis saw massive demand, with 456,051 BNB committed against a 1,918 BNB target, an oversubscription of 23,772% (~237×). With a pre-market price of $1.03 and a $1.03B FDV, this shows strong early buying interest.

Based on similar launches, YB could trade between $1.25 and $1.45 in the first two days. If demand stays strong, it may reach $1.60–$1.80 in the following weeks, supported by high liquidity and listings on multiple major exchanges.

Conclusion

Yield Basis is entering the market with strong fundamentals, multi-chain support, and unmatched early demand. Its unique leveraged liquidity model, retroactive airdrops for BNB stakers, and multi-exchange listing strategy position it as potential DeFi launch of 2025.

Whether this hype translates into sustained performance will depend on liquidity adoption, BTC market conditions, and protocol growth, but the scale of participation so far suggests significant early momentum.
