DefiLlama tracks the protocol on a public dashboard. It lists the lifetime total and $332.96 million in cumulative revenue. Revenue is the share the protocol retains.
The table below lists the main readings.

The chart starts in early 2024. So the Ethena fees milestone reflects under three years of daily data. Daily totals peaked near $31 million in early 2024, according to the chart.
The last 30 days add about 1.7 percent to the lifetime reading. DefiLlama updates these readings as new activity posts, so the numbers may shift.

<h2 id="span-span-style-font-size-16px-how-the-synthetic-dollar-model-works-span-span">How the Synthetic Dollar Model Works</h2>
<a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-dictionary/ethena-usde" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDe is a synthetic dollar</a>. According to the project, it holds its peg through delta-neutral hedging, meaning offsetting positions that cancel price risk. DefiLlama tracks the earnings tied to this setup. The protocol runs three main parts:
<ul>
 <li>USDe: the synthetic dollar the protocol issues.</li>
 <li>sUSDe: the savings version that earns rewards.</li>
 <li>ENA: the governance token used for voting.</li>
</ul>
The<a href="https://www.ethena.fi/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">official project site</a> explains the full model.

<h2 id="span-span-style-font-size-16px-expert-take-reading-the-figures-calmly-span-span">Expert Take: Reading the Figures Calmly</h2>
A balanced reading separates gross charges from net revenue. The lifetime figure shows the <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/stablecoin-dex-volume-uniswap-30-days" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">scale of stablecoin</a> activity since 2024. The revenue figure shows the share the project kept.
The chart also shows lower daily readings through 2026. Both recent windows imply about $0.6 million per day. Growth in the lifetime figure now comes at a slower pace.
Charge levels depend on market conditions, and past results do not predict future ones. The Ethena fees milestone is a factual record, not a signal for price direction. Readers can follow more DeFi revenue trends in our related analysis.

DefiLlama data confirms a large cumulative reading for a project under three years old. The recent pace, the revenue split, and <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/ethena-price-prediction-will-ena-reclaim-050-in-2026" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ENA trading</a> figures add useful context.
This Ethena fees milestone remains a snapshot dated October 12, 2026. Readers should check the DefiLlama dashboard for updates. The figures come from public dashboards, so anyone can verify them.
