<p class="is-style-lead">Synthetic dollar developer Ethena Labs received the green light for a USDeFRAX liquidity pool with Frax Finance to diversify FRAX stablecoin yield.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Singularity Roadmap proposal from Ethena Labs was <a href="https://twitter.com/ethena_labs/status/1777261242119528692" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">approved</a> and has enabled the protocols to create a USDeFRAX POL with a $250 million ceiling on the defi stablecoin exchange Curve.</p>

<p>Moving forward, <a href="https://crypto.news/price/usde/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDe</a>’s issuer and Frax Finance plan to deliver dense on-chain dollar liquidity despite concerns that Ethena Labs’ product bears striking similarities to Terraform’s algorithmic stablecoin UST.</p>
<p>Fantom developer Andre Cronje <a href="https://crypto.news/ethena-ust-concerns-developer/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pointed</a> to USDe risk stemming from the asset’s peg system, which depends on collateralized positions to maintain parity with the U.S. dollar. The mechanism is akin to UST’s design, a decentralized architecture that eventually crippled Terra’s $60 billion ecosystem.</p>
<p>After the synthetic dollar creator onboarded Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) to help maintain its peg, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju echoed Cronje’s concerns regarding a potential crypto contagion. UST and Terraform also tapped BTC as a reserve asset before the defi project crashed in May 2022.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ethena-labs-usde-crosses-2b-market-cap">Ethena Labs’ USDe crosses $2b market cap</h2>
<p>Although USDe may be considered a contentious defi stablecoin, the asset has drawn user demand and <a href="https://crypto.news/ethenas-usde-stablecoin-market-cap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crossed</a> $2 billion in supply since launching in February. Per DefiLlama, Ethena Labs offered its U.S. dollar-pegged token exclusively on Ethereum’s mainnet.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The protocol suffered a $290,000 <a href="https://crypto.news/ethena-labs-reportedly-suffers-from-security-incident-analysts-suspect-290k-exploit/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">security exploit</a> nearly a month after its debut, but the issue was swiftly resolved. Experts could not determine the underlying vulnerability then, and Ethena Labs has advanced to expand USDe integration across.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The stablecoin provider <a href="https://crypto.news/ethena-labs-launch-ena-with-a-750m-airdrop-as-makerdao-grabs-usde/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">airdropped</a> its governance token ENA with 750 million free tokens for early supporters and participants.</p>
