Ethena USDe Stablecoin Sees 72% Surge, Challenging Tether’s Market Dominance
Ethena USDe (USDe), the stablecoin launched by Ethena Labs, has recorded a remarkable 72.65% monthly growth, positioning itself as a potential disruptor to market leaders like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). This aggressive entry by Ethena Labs signals a possible shake-up in the stablecoin market, which has long been dominated by these established players.
Tether, with a $135 billion market cap and integration across 78 blockchains, remains the industry leader. Known for its stability, USDT consistently maintains a $1 price peg with minimal fluctuations of +0.10% daily and +0.50% monthly, while achieving a respectable 12.18% gain over the past month. However, the meteoric rise of USDe suggests increasing competition in this space.
Meanwhile, USD Coin (USDC) posted 14.62% growth in the past month, showcasing resilience but falling behind the rapid ascent of Ethena USDe. Arthur Hayes, Co-Founder of BitMEX, emphasized USDe’s potential, stating, “Circle … be afraid, be very afraid. @ethena_labs is coming for you!”
With its ambitious entry and notable growth, Ethena USDe has captured the attention of both investors and established stablecoin issuers. As the market evolves, Ethena Labs’ innovative approach may challenge the dominance of traditional leaders, reshaping the stablecoin landscape.
