## Limitations

- Crypto network activity is not company earnings. Protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders.
- Market capitalisation is a dated snapshot, not a point-in-time historical supply series, so yields computed against it inherit that lag.
- No valuation band exists for any coin: historical market capitalisation is not held at all.
- Funding rates, open interest, liquidations, exchange flows, unlock schedules and developer activity are not held and are not inferred.
- The research score is relative to this coin's own theme only. It is not comparable across themes and is not an entry signal.

## FAQs

### What is Yield Basis (YB)?

Yield Basis is a DeFi cryptocurrency tracked here by price, market capitalisation and strength against Bitcoin, with on-chain activity from protocol. It is one of 46 DeFi coins on this site. Readings are as of 2026-08-14.

### What is the market cap of Yield Basis?

Yield Basis's market capitalisation is $17.3M, ranking it 896 in the top-1,000 crypto universe. That figure is a dated snapshot from 2026-07-04, refreshed separately from the daily price series, so it can lag the price shown above.

### Is Yield Basis beating Bitcoin?

Yield Basis is -7.4% against Bitcoin over 90 days, and its own theme, DeFi, is +2.5% over 13 weeks. It trades below its 200-day average as of 2026-08-14.

### Does Yield Basis have a P/E ratio?

No. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a crypto token, and no valuation band is shown on this page because the data to build one honestly does not exist: historical market capitalisation is not held, only a current snapshot. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, this page shows the yield against that dated snapshot instead.

### What is Yield Basis's research score?

46.5/100 within DeFi, ranked 14 of 31 rated DeFi coins, on 50% evidence: 15.0 + 15.0 + 10.0 + 6.5 = 46.5. It is labelled “Illiquid · research only”. The score ranks research attention inside one theme, never portfolio action.

### How much Yield Basis history does this page show?

Five years of weekly closes where they exist, plus 20 complete calendar quarters of on-chain activity for the metrics Yield Basis actually publishes. Here that is network fees, protocol revenue, total value locked, dex volume.

### Does Yield Basis generate network fees?

Yield Basis publishes a network fees series but not a complete four-quarter total. Network activity is not token-holder earnings: whether it accrues to the token depends on the protocol's own burn, buyback and distribution rules.
