YBCO and BSCCO are superconductors around 100K at ambient pressure. Unfortunately their brittleness limits their practical use. Maybe LK-99 will have better mechanical properties.

Moreover, from the results of the theoretical papers it is suggested that perhaps this material would work best as a monocrystal, with anisotropic conduction properties. That could still have very important applications, but not for making cables or coils.
