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.

What Makes USDe Stand Out?

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.
