Ethena Labs launched its USDe synthetic dollar on the public mainnet on Feb. 19. It&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethena-highest-earning-dapp-crypto">became the highest-earning</a> decentralized application (DApp) in crypto on March 8 when it offered investors an annual percentage yield (APY) of 67%.
Ethena’s USDe is currently offering a 35.4% yield to over 123,000 users, with a $1.6 billion total value locked (TVL), <a href="https://www.ethena.fi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to Ethena Labs’ homepage. 
The market cap of USDe rose 1.9% in the past week and 135% in the past month to $1.58 billion, <a href="https://defillama.com/stablecoin/ethena-usde" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to DefiLlama data.
The Ethena token was listed for farming on the Binance launch pool last week. 
There was widespread concern when a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethena-labs-exploited-290k-binance-launchpool">fake, copycat ENA token</a> was exploited for $290,000 worth of BNB on March 29. On-chain security firm PeckShield mistook the fake token for the real ENA coin. The real Ethena token suffered no exploit.
