According to a news report from Deep Tide TechFlow on December 18, the stablecoin issuance protocol Usual announced it will integrate Ethena Labs' USDtb and sUSDe. Usual plans to accept USDtb as collateral and will migrate some of the supporting assets of USD0 to USDtb. Based on the current TVL of $850 million, Usual is expected to become one of the largest issuers and holders of USDtb.

As part of the collaboration, Usual will establish a sUSDe liquidity pool for USD0++ holders and open zero-fee trading pools for USDtb-USD0 and USDtb-sUSDe. Additionally, after approval from the Ethena Risk Committee, a portion of the Ethena reserve fund may be allocated to USD0++.
