PANews reported on January 30th that YO Protocol announced the launch of its native governance token, YO, and released its token economics model. The total supply of YO is 1 billion tokens, allocated as follows: 30% for community growth and future rewards, 24% for core contributors, 21.5% for ecosystem development and strategic partnerships, 16.5% for early investors, and 8% for the genesis airdrop. The token airdrop will open on February 5th, and eligible users can claim their tokens by connecting to their Base network wallet.

The YO token will be launched in phases: In the initial phase, the token will be non-transferable to encourage active participation in governance and promote long-term consistency with real users; during this phase, transfer functionality is expected to be enabled through governance voting when feasible. Holding YO will grant voting rights on key protocol decisions, including future plans, vault usage, and vault parameter adjustments. For early users and the community, the YO Protocol launched the YO Rewards Program on January 29th for two weeks. Users can earn YO rewards by depositing yoUSD, yoETH, yoEUR, yoBTC, or yoGOLD into vaults or participating in supported DeFi activities. During the initial phase, the reward rate for all vaults is set at 14%.

Previously, in December 2025, it was reported that YO Labs, the development team behind YO Protocol, completed a $10 million Series A funding round, led by Foundation Capital.

October Probability Surges To 94%

The post October Probability Surges To 94% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The financial world is buzzing with a significant development: the probability of a Fed rate cut in October has just seen a dramatic increase. This isn’t just a minor shift; it’s a monumental change that could ripple through global markets, including the dynamic cryptocurrency space. For anyone tracking economic indicators and their impact on investments, this update from the U.S. interest rate futures market is absolutely crucial. What Just Happened? Unpacking the FOMC Statement’s Impact Following the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement, market sentiment has decisively shifted.

A Fed rate cut typically means cheaper borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, which can stimulate economic activity. But what does this really signify for investors, especially those in the digital asset realm? Why is a Fed Rate Cut So Significant for Markets? When the Federal Reserve adjusts interest rates, it sends powerful signals across the entire financial ecosystem. A rate cut generally implies a more accommodative monetary policy, often enacted to boost economic growth or combat deflationary pressures. Impact on Traditional Markets: Stocks: Lower interest rates can make borrowing cheaper for companies, potentially boosting earnings and making stocks more attractive compared to bonds. Bonds: Existing bonds with higher yields might become more valuable, but new bonds will likely offer lower returns.
