The protocol’s rejuvenation is driven by elevated perpetual funding rates, with more catalysts ahead for growth.
Ethena’s $46 million allocation fits into the growing trend of DeFi platforms and protocol foundations investing in real-world asset-backed products to earn a yield without leaving blockchain rails.
Reserves for UStb will be invested in BUIDL, which in turn holds U.S. dollars, U.S. Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements.
The platform will use a cash-and-carry trade to short bitcoin futures and pocket funding rates to generate yield on its USDe tokens.
The stablecoin earns yield by shorting ether futures and capturing funding rates – which have surged in the past two weeks.
