Ethena Price Eyes New All-Time High Amid USDe Dominance

ENA is gaining investor attention as its USDe synthetical dollar continues to gain massive traction. On the monthly chart, Ethena’s USDe has seen its market cap soaring by nearly double and moving closer to $6 billion.

Ethena’s USDe stablecoin is on the rise, nearing a total supply of $6 billion—marking an impressive 140% increase since its October lows. Despite this rapid growth, Ethena’s synthetic dollar currently accounts for just 2.83% of the stablecoin market, leaving it well behind industry leaders like USDC and USDT. However, the growth trajectory highlights significant potential for Ethena’s stablecoin to capture a larger market share in the future.

Built on Ethereum, Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol that offers a crypto-native alternative to traditional banking infrastructure. Ethena’s synthetic dollar, USDe, aims to be the first censorship-resistant, scalable, and stable crypto-native solution for money. Top crypto derivatives exchange Deribit has also announced the integration of USDe as margin collateral.

Following the strong demand for its synthetic dollar, the Ethena price has surged amid strong buying interest and is up 122% on the monthly chart. As per the Coinglass data, the open interest has surged to $712 million with the 24-hour liquidations soaring to $6.69 million.
