- Binance Announcement: Earn Over 63% APY on 1INCH at Binance
If you choose the two AMMs with the strongest dominance in the DeFi ecosystem, it will definitely be Uniswap and Mooniswap, and 1INCH token is a 1inch governance token, the best aggregator in the DeFi scene. It debuted on the scene gorgeously by paying airdrops to users.
However, as with UNI tokens, the utility of governance wasn't really useful, and the price continued to go down upon launch.
In this situation, Binance, the world's largest exchange, launched a lock-up staking product with a maximum annual interest rate of 63.69%, and with the news, the price of 1INCH tokens is turning upward.

In order to have value as a long-term investment asset, whether 1INCH or UNI, it is necessary to carefully examine "how well governance works" and "is there sufficient incentives for token holders to participate in governance". And for reference, most of the existing DeFi tokens can be mined continuously by LPs that provide a large amount of liquidity, so you should consider the risk of dumping at any time before investing.
