About Ethena

Ethena's $ENA Tokenomics underpins a revolutionary approach to decentralized finance (DeFi) by supporting USDe, the first crypto-native, yield-bearing stablecoin. Built on a foundation of delta-neutral hedging strategies, Ethena leverages Ethereum's innovative derivative infrastructure to create a scalable and stable digital asset ecosystem. Users can deposit USD, Ethereum, or liquid staking tokens as collateral to mint USDe, with stability maintained through carefully hedged positions on both centralized and decentralized exchanges. Through its delta-neutral collateralization mechanism, collateral is securely distributed into onchain custodial wallets, with corresponding short positions taken to mitigate market volatility. This strategic approach ensures that USDe remains stable while providing returns sourced from Ethereum staking yields and futures market activity. Unlike traditional stablecoins, USDe is decentralized, scalable, and dynamically connected to Ethereum's economic performance. The $ENA token is at the core of Ethena's ecosystem, designed to incentivize platform participation, governance, and operational liquidity. Ethena positions itself as a futuristic financial backbone of the crypto industry by transforming Ethereum into the "Global Internet Bond" via its innovative approach to derivatives. Utilizing stETH (staked Ether), Ethena opens the door to secure yet yield-generating stablecoin solutions, empowering users to engage in DeFi with confidence. Ethena's smart collateralization processes, seamless integration with Ethereum, and a robust decentralized approach set it apart in the DeFi market. By combining yield generation, stability, and scalability, Ethena's $ENA and USDe redefine the potential of crypto assets, showcasing Ethereum’s capability as a global financial infrastructure.
