What is Ethena?

The token of Ethena, the protocol behind the USDe synthetic dollar.

Ethena issues USDe, a dollar-pegged token backed by crypto collateral whose price risk is offset with short positions in perpetual contracts. The income from those positions and from staking is passed to holders who lock their USDe. ENA governs the protocol.

The token follows the growth of USDe: supply expands when funding rates on perpetuals are high and contracts when they turn low or negative. Scheduled token releases and the wider market add to its swings.

When does ENAUSDT trade?

Trades around the clock, weekends included. Volume is usually deepest when European and US hours overlap, 13:00 to 17:00 UTC.

What are the risks of trading Ethena on a prop account?

  • Crypto moves at any hour. A stop that is not placed is not there when the move happens overnight or at the weekend.
  • Its fortunes depend on funding rates staying positive; a long stretch of negative funding works against the protocol.
