Ethena

Crypto derivatives exchange Deribit announced plans to integrate Ethena’s synthetic dollar, USDe, as margin collateral. This integration, expected to be operational in early January, subject to regulatory approval, will allow users to leverage USDe for trading derivatives on the platform. 
Once implemented, USDe will be added to Deribit’s cross-collateral pool, enabling users to leverage their USDe holdings for various derivatives trading strategies. 
Ethena Labs, the company behind USDe, expressed excitement about the integration, highlighting the potential for new structured product use cases on centralized exchanges.

Guy Young, founder of Ethena Labs, believes this integration will attract both traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto-native trading firms to Deribit, given its dominant position in the options market. 
Following the announcement, the price of ENA, Ethena’s native token, surged over 20% in the past 24 hours. This significant price increase reflects the market’s positive sentiment towards the integration and the potential benefits it offers to users. 
In addition to this development, Ethena recently proposed adding Solana and its liquid staked variants as reserve assets for USDe. The company also integrated sUSDe into Aave, a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol, enabling users to borrow against their USDe holdings and earn interest. 
This series of strategic moves by Ethena underscores its commitment to expanding the utility and adoption of USDe within the crypto ecosystem. By integrating USDe with major exchanges like Deribit and DeFi platforms like Aave, Ethena aims to provide users with a more diverse range of financial services and opportunities.
