這幾天Ethena與Spark的合作提案有可能會助推USDe站上第三大穩定幣，筆者想透過本篇文章簡單解析一下這個提案
Spark是甚麼？
Spark是Sky(原MakerDAO)旗下專注於穩定幣流動性的借貸型subDAO，目前管理高達62億美元的穩定幣流動性
提案對於Spark有什麼影響
根據提案文檔資料，過去Spark主要透過Morpho借貸來獲得USDe曝險，在風險管理的考量下，曝險的比例相對較小。
透過這次直接與Ethena合作，將有利於Spark：
獲得更好的收益率(與sUSDe有關)風險變得更可控(Ethena將提供短於七天的贖回時間)操作性更高(可以直接透過Ethena合約將USDC部屬到USDe和sUSDe)
提案對於Ethena有什麼影響
將會獲得高達11億美元流動性注入到USDe及sUSDe(目前USDe市值58億美元)新增的流動性能使Ethena獲得更多操作空間，有利於賺取收益新增的流動性將能助推USDe市值進一步提高，可能超過第三大穩定幣DAI
總結
雖然此合作案對於散戶參與者而言直接關聯性較小(與ENA幣價、空投的關聯性較低)，但是多數用戶是藉由穩定幣USDe、sUSDe參與Ethena生態，因此了解Ethena整體發展及穩定幣USDe的現況還是很重要。
畢竟沒有人會想再經歷一次穩定幣協議崩盤、穩定幣價格脫錨吧！
這些合作案都再再的顯示Ethena逐漸在多鏈的市場中成為底層根基，這也使得USDe要遭遇極端問題的可能性降低，對於我們散戶投資者來說，能增加我們安心持有USDe的信心。

題外話，最近一段時間追蹤Ethena的動態後，真心感覺到這個團隊在商業模型運作跟精進的能力很強。從我新創孵化的經驗來看，我對Ethena的信賴程度提高不少，後續也還會持續跟進它的更新(我覺得是一個很好的商業案例)，有興趣的夥伴，歡迎Follow、一起討論！

Ethena Labs said it’s confident the Solana integration will significantly increase the adoption of its USDe stablecoin.The company has also added SOL as a backing asset.
Ethena Labs has announced that thanks to a new integration, users can buy and sell its USDe stablecoin on Solana
The company said it "is confident that this integration [with Solana] will significantly increase the adoption of USDe and sUSDe, providing a whole new market of traders with a reward-accruing asset in sUSDe that substantially improves upon the traditional stablecoin experience," according to a statement.
Ethena has also added SOL as a backing asset. In April, Ethena Labs added bitcoin as a backing asset for its "synthetic dollar," which currently has a market capitalization of over $3 billion, according to The Block Price Page.
"In addition to increasing the strength and security of USDe’s backing, this will unlock $2 to $3 billion in additional open interest in the SOL futures market, allowing USDe to continue scaling," Ethena said in its statement, adding that since adding bitcoin as a backing asset, USDe's circulation has grown by more than $1 billion.
Unlike other stablecoins, like market-leading USDT and USDC, Ethena’s USDe token uses a mechanism that isn’t dependent on direct fiat or tangible asset backing. Ethena instead employs derivative hedging strategies with collateral positions involving ether and bitcoin and an arbitrage system for minting and redeeming to sustain its U.S. dollar peg.
USDe experienced nearly $100 million in redemptions a few days ago, likely the result of a broader market selloff that saw bitcoin fall under $50,000.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX, expressed remorse for his actions in an email interview with ABC News from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Bankman-Fried was recently sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy charges. He acknowledged that he made bad decisions that led to FTX's insolvency in 2022 and expressed frustration at not being able to do more to repair the damage from prison. Bankman-Fried's defense team plans to appeal the sentence, citing misstated trial testimony and the exclusion of crucial evidence and witnesses.
