DeFi Protocol Ethena (USDE) Plans to Airdrop Governance Token Next on April 2
Users will be able to claim tokens starting the next day, and ENA will be listed on centralized exchanges, per the blog post. After the airdrop, Ethena will start a campaign with new incentives for the next phase of the airdrop.
Ethena’s USDe token, often referred to as “synthetic dollar,” offers steady yields to investors by using ether (ETH) liquid staking tokens such as Lido’s stETH as backing assets, pairing them with an equal value of short ETH perpetual futures position on derivatives exchanges to keep a “rough target” of $1 price. This is also known as a “cash and carry” trade, which harvests derivatives funding rates for a yield.
The protocol’s USDe token mushroomed recently, growing to over $1.3 billion from $85 million at the start of the year, per DefiLlama data, propelled by its lofty yield due to frothy crypto markets and in anticipation of the airdrop.
