Yearn.Finance's governance token, YFI, experienced a significant surge of around 170% in early November, but on November 18, it saw a drop of over 43% within just five hours. This sudden decline led to speculations about a potential exit scam.
According to CoinMarketCap data, during this drop, the asset lost $300 million in market value. The asset is currently trading at $9,149, significantly lower than its recent price of $14,185. The token's performance data for the last 30 days still indicates an overall increase of 83%.
These sales created an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) within the community. Some users claimed that 50% of the token's supply is held in 10 wallets controlled by developers. Etherscan data suggested that some of these wallet owners might be crypto exchanges.
