Despite an overall pullback in the cryptocurrency market, Ethena's price surged 10% to 1.2 USD in the past 24 hours. This bullish momentum stems from strong accumulation by ENA whales and the recent partnership with Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial. Over the past week, whales have been increasing their holdings in Ethena due to strong demand for its USDe synthetic dollar, pushing its market cap over 6 billion USD.

After collaborating with Donald Trump's project, the price of Ethena skyrocketed.

Despite a general collapse in the cryptocurrency market, Ethena's price surged 10% earlier today to 1.20 USD, with daily trading volume skyrocketing 174% to surpass 1 billion USD. Coinglass data shows that open interest jumped 20% to 700 million USD, indicating traders remain bullish on this altcoin. On the monthly chart, due to strong demand for USDe, ENA's gains have expanded to over 100%.

Spot On Chain reports that ENA token activity is highly active, highlighting significant purchases and wallet movements. Just 20 minutes after announcing a partnership with Ethena Labs, Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial spent 250,000 USD in USDC to purchase 231,726 ENA tokens. This brings their total holdings to 741,681 ENA, with an average purchase price of approximately 1.011 USD, resulting in unrealized gains of 33,900 USD.

Additionally, a significant amount of whale activity has been detected. A new wallet established 20 hours ago has withdrawn 5.29 million ENA tokens from Binance at an average price of 1.12 USD, totaling 5.92 million USD. According to Spot On Chain, this accumulation occurred during a downturn in token prices, indicating strategic buying amid market volatility.

Collaboration with World Liberty Financial

Moreover, Ethena Labs has officially announced a partnership with Donald Trump's crypto project, World Liberty Financial. This collaboration aims to enhance the liquidity of USDe and increase user rewards on WLFI's DeFi platform.

The announcement mentions that a governance proposal will be submitted to make Ethena's sUSDe synthetic dollar the core collateral asset for WLFI's upcoming Aave-based lending platform. This is another major reason for Ethena's price increase today.

Recently, there has been strong demand for Ethena's USDe synthetic dollar. In just the past month, its market has surged nearly 100%, exceeding 6 billion USD. Due to this robust growth, USDe has become the third-largest stablecoin, trailing only DAI and others.

In recent weeks, Ethena's price faced strong resistance at the 1.2 USD level. Despite attempts to break through this level, bulls have struggled to maintain further momentum. Therefore, to continue rising, bulls must push the price above this resistance level.

However, considering the growth of its ecosystem, cryptocurrency market analysts predict that the price target for this altcoin will be much higher, reaching 10 USD and beyond. Market analysts CryptoELITES point out that ENA's astonishing growth seems just to have begun, setting ambitious price targets for the asset, expecting to hit milestones of 5 USD, 10 USD, and 20 USD in the near future.
