Ethena, a synthetic dollar protocol launched in 2024, is generating $4.62 million in daily fees, annualizing to about $363 million, which is nearly 43% of its $847 million market cap. Coinbase Ventures recently made its first public investment by purchasing ENA tokens, aiming to integrate Ethena’s products into Coinbase’s platform with over 100 million users. Ethena’s revenue comes from a delta-hedging strategy using spot assets and perpetual futures, distinguishing it from traditional stablecoins. While the current fee levels reflect bullish market conditions, future growth may depend on the success of Coinbase integration, raising strategic dependency concerns.
