MEXC Announces $36 Million Investment in Ethena to Support USDe Stablecoin Ecosystem
Seychelles, February 27, 2025 — MEXC has committed $36 million to Ethena to drive the adoption of its synthetic dollar USDe and support the expansion of the Ethena ecosystem. The investment includes a $20 million allocation to USDe and a $16 million investment in Ethena Labs to fund user incentives and promote stablecoin adoption.
Driving User Engagement Through High-Yield Opportunities
MEXC's $20 million commitment to Ethena’s USDe aims to bolster the
decentralized synthetic stablecoin, which offers a 9% yield to its holders.
Additionally, MEXC Ventures, the investment division of MEXC, has
allocated $16 million to Ethena Labs. This funding is intended to support
user-focused initiatives, including high-APR staking events designed to drive
stablecoin usage.
USDe differentiates itself in the stablecoin market by offering a 9%
yield while maintaining a soft peg to the U.S. dollar through delta-neutral
hedging. This approach eliminates the need for overcollateralization or
centralized custody. Unlike conventional stablecoins, USDe employs smart
contracts to automatically manage perpetual short positions, contributing to
its scalability and stability.
Expanding the Ethena Ecosystem
This investment aligns with Ethena’s broader strategy, which includes
launching platforms such as Ethereal for spot trading and Derive for on-chain
options. Ethena recently completed a $100 million funding round with backing
from major investors, including Franklin Templeton. Part of these funds will
facilitate the development of a new regulated token, iUSDe, designed for
traditional financial institutions seeking exposure to digital assets.
Celebrating the USDe Listing on MEXC
MEXC has also listed USDe in its Innovation Zone,
introducing trading pairs including USDE/USDT, ENA/USDE, BTC/USDE, ETH/USDE,
SOL/USDE, and XRP/USDE. To mark this listing, MEXC launched a series of
promotional events with a $1,000,000 reward pool. These events feature zero-fee
trading, high-yield staking opportunities, and trading competitions offering
futures bonuses of up to 300,000 USDT.
