Ethena community to vote on proposal to launch crypto exchange on USDe

As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience in this wild and unpredictable market, I must say that the proposal to integrate Ethereal into Ethena’s reserve management system is a promising move. The potential for increased utility and demand for USDe is undeniably attractive, especially considering the ambitious claims made by Ethereal V1 – processing 1 million operations per second with sub-20ms latency? That’s faster than blinking an eye!


The members of the Ethena community are preparing to make a decision about a plan to incorporate Ethereal, a decentralized trading platform based on USDe, into Ethena’s asset management framework.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the upcoming community vote regarding the integration of Ethereal, a decentralized exchange on the Ethena Network, into our reserve management system. This move aims to boost both the utility and demand for USDe, a stablecoin developed by Ethena Labs, potentially enhancing its value and appeal in the crypto market.

The submission dated September 30 by “Fells0x” requests consent for Ethereal to handle both short-term and long-term futures contracts linked with USDe. If approved, ENA token owners could potentially receive 15% of any future governance tokens from Ethereal, should the proposal be successful.

As an analyst, I’m excited about Ethereal V1, which is slated for launch on testnet by Q4. This innovative platform aims to offer performance comparable to centralized exchanges, all while ensuring complete control over one’s assets through self-custody. The proposal highlights that the architecture of this exchange is designed to handle a million operations per second, with an impressive latency of less than 20 milliseconds.

The debut of Ethereal will serve as a guide for other applications utilizing USDe on the Ethena Network. This will contribute significantly to Ethena’s evolution from simply an asset issuer into a hub for groundbreaking financial innovations.

The proposal also outlines potential future synergies, including decentralized lending and borrowing applications built on top of USDe.

The plan aligns with Ethena’s latest unveiling of UStb, a stablecoin backed by BlackRock, which is designed to alleviate apprehensions about USDe. This new coin is supported by the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund and private lender Securitize. UStb was presented as a protective measure against potential systemic risks in situations where funding rates are negative.

Previously, individuals like Andre Cronje have voiced worries about USDe, drawing comparisons to the collapsed TerraUSD. In contrast, Ethena asserts that during its six-month run, USDe has not shown any signs of the risks they mentioned.

As a crypto investor, I’m eagerly waiting for the outcome of Fells0x’s request for technical support from the Ethena Foundation and Risk Committee. This support is crucial for seamlessly integrating Ethereal into Ethena’s hedging strategies. Although a precise timeline hasn’t been set, I anticipate this vote will take place in the coming months.
