What is Ethena?

Ethena is a protocol launched in 2024 that issues USDe and its yield-bearing version, sUSDe. The ENA token was distributed in April 2024 to users, the team and investors.

ENA is not the stablecoin: it is the token that gives a say in protocol decisions.

How Ethena works

ENA holders vote on matters such as which assets are accepted as collateral, which exchanges and custodians the strategy uses, and how the reserve fund is managed.

The token can be locked in staking, which gives access to rewards and ecosystem programs. Governance also discusses directing part of protocol revenue to stakers.

What ENA is used for

  • Voting on Ethena governance decisions.
  • Staking to take part in ecosystem programs.
  • Exposure to the growth of USDe.

Risks and points of attention

  • Its value depends on the success and stability of USDe, whose derivatives strategy can fail in adverse markets.
  • Scheduled token unlocks for the team and investors increase supply.
  • Any share of protocol revenue depends on governance decisions.
  • High volatility.
