Odaily Planet Daily News DeFi protocol Ethena released the 2025 roadmap "Convergence". Ethena's next growth will be driven mainly by exporting products to traditional finance. Ethena will launch a new product "iUSDe" next month, which aims to be able to export sUSDe to the TradFi field in a regulated form. The same as sUSDe, but with the addition of a simple wrapper contract, some transfer restrictions are added at the token level so that traditional financial entities can hold and use it. This will include working with partners to provide independent SPVs managed by regulated investment managers who allow subscriptions to shares of the instrument, allowing traditional finance to enter the product efficiently without touching the cryptocurrency track. Ethena will announce the initial TradFi distribution partners for iUSDe this month. In addition, Ethena plans to address payment and savings tool use cases by building dedicated applications in the Telegram and TON ecosystems, that is, to release dedicated use cases for sUSDe in the Telegram application, where users can send, spend and save in a mobile new bank-like experience. Payments will be directly connected to Apple Pay, and users can convert between savings assets in sUSDe and direct mobile payments on their phones. In addition to these core products, Ethena will continue to transform from a single asset issuer to a platform for the best builders to leverage and enable on-chain financial innovation. Two applications have been announced: spot exchange Ethereal and on-chain options and structured products protocol Derive, Ethereal will open its testnet next month, and Derive will launch its token in the next two weeks. These are just the first examples of the entire DeFi ecosystem built on sUSDe, and more examples will be launched in the first quarter of 2025.
