DeFi Platform Earning Yield by Shorting Ether Attracts $300M
Decentralized finance platform Ethena has attracted massive inflows since going live amid some criticism around the model it uses to generate an annualized 27% yield to holders of its USDe tokens. It had operated as a beta platform so far, available only to a closed group. More than $287 million of USDe had been minted as of Tuesday morning, with over $50 million of that coming after the platform went live to the public on Monday.
