One trending crypto topic right now is the rise of Layer 2 solutions like Optimism and Arbitrum, designed to scale Ethereum and reduce transaction costs. These technologies are gaining attention as they address congestion on the Ethereum network, making decentralized applications (dApps) more efficient and user-friendly. With increased adoption of these solutions, Ethereum's scalability challenges are starting to be mitigated, pushing the ecosystem closer to mainstream adoption. #BinanceAlphaAlert #BTCNextMove #BinanceLabsBacksUsual
Is Ethena a 'ticking time bomb' or a 'savior' for DeFi?
Is Ethena destined to destroy DeFi as we know it, or will it usher in a new renaissance for DeFi? Let's delve into this question.
Ethena is the most successful protocol in DeFi history. About a year ago, its total value locked (TVL) was less than $10 million, and it has now grown to $5.5 billion. It has integrated into multiple protocols in various ways, such as @aave, @SkyEcosystem (i.e., Maker/Sparklend), @MorphoLabs, @pendle_fi, and @eigenlayer. There are so many protocols collaborating with Ethena that I had to change covers multiple times when recalling another partner. Among the top ten protocols by TVL, six collaborate with Ethena or are Ethena itself (Ethena ranks ninth). If Ethena fails, it will have profound effects on many protocols, especially AAVE, Morpho, and Maker, which would functionally fall into varying degrees of insolvency. Meanwhile, Ethena has significantly increased the overall usage of DeFi with billions of dollars in growth, akin to the impact of stETH on Ethereum DeFi. So, is Ethena destined to destroy DeFi as we know it, or will it bring DeFi into a new renaissance? Let's explore this question in depth.
