Ethena USDe Surge to Become 3rd-Largest Stablecoin by Market Cap
Ethena's USDe stablecoin has rapidly ascended the ranks, now standing as the third-largest stablecoin by market capitalization. Data from DeFiLlama reveals a 75% monthly supply surge to $9.3 billion, overtaking FDUSD in a dramatic market repositioning.
The Ethereum-based stablecoin's growth reflects intensifying competition in the dollar-pegged token sector. This expansion comes amid broader institutional adoption of crypto-native yield instruments and synthetic dollar products.
