The largest crypto derivatives exchange Deribit on Friday said it will integrate Ethena’s synthetic dollar USDe as margin collateral. It will enable users to earn rewards for holding USDe and use it as derivatives margin collateral in cross-collateral pool.
Ethena and Deribit Partners to Launch USDe as Rewarding Margin Collateral
Deribit, the leading crypto options and futures exchange, plans to integrate Ethena’s USDe as margin collateral. The exchange revealed that the goal is to include USDe in its cross-collateral pool as of early January. However, it still awaits regulatory approval from the authorities
“We are excited to announce the upcoming integration of USDe as rewarding margin collateral on Deribit” said Ethena Labs.
All users can earn rewards for holding USDe. Also, it can be used as derivatives margin collateral in a cross collateral pool. USDe as margin collateral is currently available on Bybit, Bitget and Gate crypto exchanges. Users can use USDe as a part of single or multi-exchange derivatives strategies, while earning rewards by holding the synthetic dollar.
Guy Young, founder of Ethena Labs, said: “This integration of USDe within the cross collateral pool at unlocks completely new structured product use cases not previously possible on CEXs with vanilla stablecoin collateral.”
Young expects this will become one of the most important venues for USDe use cases as Deribit holds 85% of market share within the options space. Also, he believes the USDe integration on the derivatives exchange will attract both TradFi and crypto-native trading firms.
ENA Price Rockets 20%
Amid Deribit’s USDe integration news, ENA price skyrocketed more than 20% in the past 24 hours. The price currently trades at $0.62, with a 24-hour low and high of $0.516 and $0.620, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has shot up by 78% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders.
Last month, Ethena proposed adding Solana and its liquid staked variants (BNSOL and bbSOL) as reserve assets for backing USDe. Recently, the company integrated sUSDe into Aave to enable billions of borrowing and APY of up to 30%.
