$ENA is one of the primary beneficiaries of more trading activity leading to higher yields and in turn reflexive growth of USDE and now with this expansion their serviceable addressable market expanded massively. In my opinion most liquid allocators are meaningfully undersized Ethena when considering the scale of the opportunity. Just as a reminder there are only 4 stablecoins which have real scale, network effects, and distribution and USDE is one of them (and I think the top one outside of USDT and USDC)

Ethena is partnering with @Binance as our first venue for the extension of the basis trade into equity perpetuals, one of the most exciting updates to the USDe collateral backing since launch. This expands the addressable market of underlying collateral from $2.5 trillion of crypto to $150 trillion+ of real-world assets. As part of the partnership, bStocks will serve as tokenized spot collateral, hedged with Binance USDT-denominated equity perpetuals - the same delta-neutral structure Ethena has securely executed across crypto assets since inception. Importantly, Binance provides lower ADL priority for eligible delta-neutral accounts including Ethena's, adding another layer of risk mitigation for USDe holders. Binance equity basis has averaged ~11%+ annualized over the past 6 months, while open interest has grown on average ~30% per month in the last 3 month period. We expect the market opportunity size for equity perpetuals to far exceed the $15b+ of crypto perpetuals captured by Ethena last cycle. Allocations begin today.
