Enabling the Global Internet Bond_

About us

Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum that provides a crypto-native solution for money not reliant on traditional banking system infrastructure, alongside a globally accessible dollar denominated rewards instrument - the 'Internet Bond'. Ethena's synthetic dollar, USDe, provides the crypto-native, scalable solution for money achieved by delta-hedging Ethereum and Bitcoin collateral. USDe is fully-backed and free to compose throughout CeFi & DeFi. USDe peg stability is supported through the use of delta hedging derivatives positions against protocol-held collateral, maintaining a relatively stable value with reference to the value spot crypto assets as well as futures positions. The 'Internet Bond' combines revenue derived from staked assets (e.g., staked Ethereum), to the extent used as backing assets, as well as the funding & basis spread from perpetual and futures markets, to create the first onchain crypto-native solution for money.

Updates

  • Ethena is set to become the first stablecoin developer whose product has a clear path to full compliance with the U.S. GENIUS Act Through our partnership with Anchorage Digital, the only federally chartered crypto bank, USDtb will move onshore to become a U.S. federally regulated payment stablecoin Stablecoins have become one of the most important growth stories in all of financial services Transitioning to a GENIUS-compliant structure cements USDtb at the forefront of this mega trend, building upon the existing foundation of transparency and resiliency to continue scaling Under this framework, USDtb will be a preferred choice for institutions seeking digital dollars backed by the highest regulatory standards

  • StablecoinX Inc. has announced a $360 million capital raise to purchase $ENA and will seek to list its Class A common shares on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "USDE", which includes a $60 million contribution of ENA from the Ethena Foundation Equity markets will now have direct access and exposure to the most important emerging trend in all of finance: The growth of digital dollars and stablecoins. To bootstrap its acquisition strategy, StablecoinX Inc. will use all of the $260 million cash proceeds from the raise (less amounts for certain expenses) to buy locked ENA from a subsidiary of the Ethena Foundation. Starting today, the Ethena Foundation subsidiary (via third-party market makers) will use 100% of the $260 million cash proceeds from the token sale to strategically purchase $ENA across publicly traded venues over the coming weeks, further aligning the Foundation’s incentives with those of StableCoinX shareholders. Importantly, the Ethena Foundation has the right to veto any sales of $ENA by StableCoinX at its sole discretion. Ideally, tokens will never be sold with a sole focus on accumulation. To the extent StableCoinX subsequently raises capital with the intent of purchasing additional locked ENA from the Ethena Foundation or its affiliates, cash proceeds from those token sales are planned to be used to purchase spot $ENA. StableCoinX's treasury strategy is a deliberate, multi‑year capital allocation strategy that will enables StableCoinX to capture the enormous value of the secular surge in demand for digital dollars while compounding ENA per share to the benefit of shareholders. https://lnkd.in/e8rF8-bR
