Ethena Soars 21% on $360M USDe Surge – Is $1 ENA Next?
Ethena's native token ENA rockets upward as a $360M USDe deal fuels bullish momentum.
Can the synthetic dollar protocol's rally defy gravity—or is this just another crypto pump waiting for a rug pull?
Traders pile in as ENA tests resistance levels, while skeptics eye the exit doors. Welcome to decentralized finance, where every moonshot comes with a parachute made of spreadsheet promises.
What Is Ethena USDe? The $7B Synthetic Dollar Revolution
Ethena operates as a stablecoin issuer and asset management protocol constructed on the ethereum blockchain, delivering a crypto-native monetary solution independent of conventional banking infrastructure.
The protocol’s flagship offering, USDe, represents a synthetic dollar mechanism that derives its stability not from traditional bank-held reserves but through a sophisticated combination of cryptocurrency assets and derivative instruments.
In a recent regulatory development, crypto investment platform Anchorage Digital formed a strategic partnership with Ethena to introduce USDtb to United States markets, positioning it as the first stablecoin to establish a clear regulatory pathway toward complete U.S. GENIUS Act compliance.

Despite the welcoming regulatory environment in the United States, Ethena faces mounting challenges in European markets under the developing MiCA regulatory framework, evident in its recent withdrawal from German operations following regulatory disputes with BaFin.
Nevertheless, leading cryptocurrency protocols continue embracing Ethena’s synthetic dollar methodology.
On July 22nd, Ledger, the renowned crypto hardware wallet manufacturer, incorporated USDe stablecoin functionality into its platform, enabling millions of users to seamlessly send, receive, and generate yield on their digital dollar positions.
The Telegram-integrated TON blockchain network has similarly adopted USDe integration, offering users attractive yields of up to 19% APY on their stablecoin holdings through TON Wallet services.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has also added USDe to its trading platform, providing users with zero-fee conversion services between USDe and both USDT and USDC, while offering competitive 10% APR earning opportunities.
Only Protocol With 10%+ Yields – Ansem’s ENA $1 Prediction
The widespread adoption and utility have driven USDe’s circulating supply back to record highs, exceeding $7 billion, leading many analysts to suggest that ENA’s market valuation should reflect this fundamental growth.
Prominent crypto influencer Ansem has presented his analysis, indicating that the $ENA chart pattern confirms a weekly breakout from an extended multi-month consolidation period.

As the sole protocol operating a stablecoin that generates yields of 10%+ on billions in assets under management, he forecasts ENA trading above the $1 threshold in the medium term.
Technical analyst Ali Charts has identified that $ENA requires a daily closing price above $0.54 to establish sufficient momentum for the next upward leg targeting the $1 level.
ENA Breaks $0.54 Resistance: Technical $1 Target Activated
On the Technical front, the ENA/USDT daily chart from Binance suggests a bullish continuation
Following a prolonged downtrend that started in February, ENA entered an extended accumulation phase between approximately $0.25 and $0.46.
This sideways movement indicated a pause in bearish momentum, with market participants gradually accumulating positions.
A significant breakout occurred recently as the price pushed above the key resistance zone at $0.5433, which is now being treated as a potential entry level.
Should the bullish structure hold, the next targets are clearly defined. The first resistance and take-profit level is set at $0.8225, while the second and more ambitious target lies at $1.0045.
On the downside, invalidation of the bullish setup WOULD occur if ENA closes below the support zone of $0.5350–$0.4940, with a stop-loss marked at $0.3930.
Such a move would signal a failed breakout and possibly resume the downtrend.
