Ethena xarid qiling.

Ethena (ENA) is the governance token of the Ethena protocol, a decentralized synthetic dollar platform built on Ethereum. Its primary objective is to offer a stable, censorship-resistant digital dollar — USDe — that operates independently of traditional banking infrastructure. Ethena achieves this stability by using a delta-neutral strategy, combining derivatives and collateralized crypto assets to maintain USDe’s peg without relying on fiat reserves.

ENA plays a central role in this system. As the protocol's native governance asset, ENA enables holders to vote on proposed changes to Ethena’s parameters, such as risk management strategies and incentive distributions. This gives the community direct influence over the protocol's development and resilience.

The circulating supply of ENA currently stands at 7957812500, with a total supply of 15000000000 and a maximum supply capped at 15000000000. The token is trading at 0.235683, contributing to a market capitalization of 1879273827. ENA reached its all-time high of 1.52 on 2024-04-11T13:15:15.057Z.

Ethena's approach addresses a long-standing challenge in the crypto space: how to create a scalable, decentralized stablecoin that isn’t vulnerable to centralized custodians or regulatory shutdowns. By using crypto-native instruments like perpetual futures and staking yields, Ethena generates a synthetic dollar that can be both capital-efficient and resistant to censorship.

Investors and users may view the Ethena token as a way to participate in the governance and ongoing development of the stablecoin’s infrastructure. ENA is used in shaping the monetary policy of USDe, functioning as a governance asset with utility in determining the protocol’s future parameters.

As synthetic assets and stablecoins are developed within decentralized finance (DeFi), Ethena introduces a model with an emphasis on stability and protocol-level autonomy.
