Why Is Arthur Buying ENA Token

Following their recent partnership, Ethena and Anchorage Digital will build a GENIUS-compliant stablecoin, with a push for its native USDtb stablecoin. As of now, USDtb operates as a payment-oriented stablecoin backed predominantly by traditional financial assets.

With President Donald Trump signing the GENIUS Act into law last week, institutions are racing to grab a piece of the stablecoin market

Its market capitalization currently exceeds $1.4 billion. Of this, roughly $1.1 billion is held in BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized fund, with the remainder primarily in USDC. The total value of USDtb’s reserves slightly surpasses its circulating supply.
