Ethena Labs’ synthetic dollar stablecoin USDe is gaining notable traction in the cryptocurrency market.
Less than a day after Binance launched a rewards program for the asset, USDe has officially entered the United States through Kraken.

The move is crucial in pushing Ethena’s stablecoin into international markets.
Kraken has confirmed it will open trading soon, allowing traders in America to access an innovative stablecoin that’s different from traditional fiat-pegged alternatives like Circle’s USDC and USDT.
While USDT and USDC use bank-held fiat reserves, USDe leverages delta-neutral hedging with BTC and ETH derivatives to maintain a dollar peg.
The approach aims to build a censorship-resistant, on-chain stable token while avoiding dependence on third-party and centralized custodians.
Proponents suggest that USDe’s design heralds the next wave of stablecoin revolution, which promises the reliability and efficiency that matches blockchain’s decentralization code.
Also, the asset has gained popularity due to its yield-bearing offerings, allowing individuals to earn passive returns from idle stablecoin balances.
Participants can stake USDe and receive sUSDe, which compounds yield with time.
Besides bolstering USDe’s adoption, Kraken’s listing sets the stablecoin ahead in compliance.
Authorization to join a licensed US exchange generally involves significant regulatory and legal checks, which Ethena has likely passed.
The move adds a layer of credibility to the synthetic dollar protocol.
One X user commented on its US debut, stating:
USDe hitting a US exchange signals more than growth. It’s validation. The synthetic dollar is no longer a niche.
Compliance is vital since it may reassure investors and traders of the asset’s safety.
While USDT and USDC dominate the current stablecoin industry, USDe rises as a serious contender.
Ethena’s stablecoin sees remarkable growth as it attracts participants seeking more decentralized options.
USDe ranks 3rd with its $14.43 billion market cap, far below USDT ($172.83 billion) and USDC ($74.03 billion).
The stablecoin rivalry would likely surge in the coming times.
Established projects should adjust and adopt accommodating models.
Ethena’s native coin traded in the green amidst the Kraken news.
ENA has gained more than 4% on its daily price chart to $0.6156.
The altcoin braces for impressive growth as USDe strengthens the Ethena ecosystem.
Meanwhile, bulls should hold the support barrier at $0.60 to keep the upside steam in the near-term.
Breaching the support zone at $0.50 to the downside will invalidate ENA’s bullish trajectory with notable price dips or sideways.
