🔥Ethena: A DeFi Game Changer

@ethena_labs recently secured $14 million in funding (February 16, 2024) from prominent investors like Dragonfly Capital, Binance Labs, Paypal, and Fidelity.

1/What is Ethena?

Ethena Labs pioneers a decentralized stablecoin issuance protocol on Ethereum.

It offers a stablecoin solution independent of traditional banking systems, along with a USD savings tool called Internet Bond.

2/ Noteworthy Features:

• Scalability through derivatives without overcollateralization.

• Stable value ensured through non-leveraged short positions on Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) upon USDe issuance.

• Anti-censorship by separating collateral assets from banking systems.

3/ USDe Issuance Mechanism:

Users deposit Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) like stETH, rETH into Ethena to mint USDe. Ethena opens non-leveraged short positions on derivatives exchanges, balancing short positions against price volatility.116
