Ethena Labs Revenue and Competitors

Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum that provides a crypto-native solution for money not reliant on traditional banking system infrastructure, alongside a globally accessible dollar denominated rewards instrument - the 'Internet Bond'.\n\nEthena's synthetic dollar, USDe, provides the crypto-native, scalable solution for money achieved by delta-hedging Ethereum and Bitcoin collateral. USDe is fully-backed and free to compose throughout CeFi & DeFi. \n\nUSDe peg stability is supported through the use of delta hedging derivatives positions against protocol-held collateral, maintaining a relatively stable value with reference to the value spot crypto assets as well as futures positions.\n\nThe 'Internet Bond' combines revenue derived from staked assets (e.g., staked Ethereum), to the extent used as backing assets, as well as the funding & basis spread from perpetual and futures markets, to create the first onchain crypto-native solution for money.
