🚀 $ENA 2025: Bigger, Bolder, and Ready to Shake Up the System!
Hey, crypto fam! Let’s talk #Ethena —the protocol that went from zero to hero in 2024 and now has its sights set on making internet money the new norm. Here’s a fun and digestible recap of what Guy Young, Ethena’s founder, just shared about their insane growth and even crazier plans for 2025.
2024 Recap: From New Kid to Power Player 👀👇
📈 Big Numbers:
▶️ $6 billion in #USDe supply within 10 months (yeah, billion).
▶️ Fastest to $5B supply in crypto history.
▶️ $1.2B annualized revenue—2nd fastest startup to $100M behind only pump.fun.
▶️ Highest revenue per employee in the crypto space.
Fun Fact: In just weeks, $USDe flipped $USDC balances on Bybit. TradFi and DeFi are eating this up like their favorite meme coin.
What’s Next for 2025? 🤔💪👇
1️⃣TradFi Meets DeFi
✅ Ethena is launching iUSDe, a TradFi-ready version of USDe, for hedge funds, asset managers, and other suits to jump in without touching the crypto rollercoaster.
✅ Imagine a 20% APY dollar product going head-to-head with ETFs—the TradFi big leagues are about to get spicy.
2️⃣Macro Tailwinds
✴️ Falling rates mean higher yields for Ethena’s sUSDe.
✴️ With rates dropping, the allure of crypto-native returns will attract traditional finance like moths to a flame.
3️⃣Telegram Goes Neobank: Ethena’s building a Telegram-based app for payments and savings. Think Apple Pay + sUSDe = the easiest way for 1B users to save and spend.
The Bigger Vision 👀🌤️💎: Ethena’s not stopping with just stablecoins. They’re crafting a DeFi ecosystem where:
▶️ sUSDe becomes the backbone of trading, lending, and structured products.
▶️ New platforms like Ethereal (a trading app) and Derive (options and structured products) innovate using Ethena as their core.
💡 TL;DR: #ENA crushed 2024, and they’re gearing up to dominate TradFi, DeFi, and everything in between. So buckle up—it’s gonna be a wild ride! 🚀
