In the bustling, chaotic arena of digital currency, where each coin is a contender in a fierce bout for supremacy, the MEXC cryptocurrency exchange has tossed its hat into the ring. With a hefty investment of $20 million, it embraces Ethena’s synthetic dollar, known to some as USDe, as a pivotal part of its grand strategy—an audacious move intended to propel stablecoins into the limelight and capture the hearts of the masses.
On a day marked by fervor and anticipation, Feb. 26 to be precise, MEXC proudly declared its financial commitment, carving out not only $20 million for USDe but also a delightful $16 million for the diligent folks at Ethena Labs. And, to sweeten the deal, a tantalizing reward pool of $1 million will be unleashed, beckoning traders to partake in the gathering storm of USDe trading and staking. 🤑
Tracy Jin, MEXC’s chief operating officer, perhaps with a glint in her eye, painted a rosy picture, declaring stablecoins to be the unsung heroes in this wild saga of cryptocurrency, playing a “pivotal role” in making the world awake to their glorious potential.
Crowning this tale is the fact that USDe, with its almost regal circulating value of $5.9 billion, now sits comfortably as the third largest stablecoin by market capitalization. The whispers of this investment came on the heels of Ethena closing a whopping $100 million funding round, backed by some bigwig investors—like Franklin Templeton, proving that even in the realm of finance, dreams can come true if you have enough zeros behind your numbers.
Hot on the heels of stablecoin competition, USDe struts its stuff differently than its more popular cousins, such as USDt (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). It backs its value through a hedging strategy tied closely to the ghostly chains of cryptocurrencies. As a cherry on top, USDe holders revel in a juicy 9% yield—a sweet reward that pulls in any lurking investors with its siren call. 🍒
Yield-bearing stablecoins are riding a wave of momentum that one can only liken to a runaway horse—earlier this month, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission waved its approving hand over the country’s first yield-bearing stablecoin security from Figure Markets. Behold, the upcoming YLDS stablecoin, promising a 3.85% yield. In a world where pennies are pinched tighter than ever, these offerings are like golden carrots dangling just out of reach for the average investor.
Now, if we tally the scores, the combined worth of stablecoins has exceeded a staggering $220 billion, gaining more than 73% since the hazy days of August 2023, according to the wise wizards at Alphractal. Over this span, the mighty USDC has managed to assert its dominance unashamedly.
But amidst the clamor, Tether’s USDt remains the colossus of the stablecoin realm, boasting a circulation of more than $140 billion. As if that weren’t enough, its issuer racked up over $13 billion in profits last year, with their U.S. Treasury holdings reaching dizzying heights, making one wonder if they’ve been hiding a lucky four-leaf clover in their vaults. 🍀
