In the cryptocurrency market today, he price of Ethena (ENA) sparked by over 9% within the past hour, to following an exciting new development. Just 15 minutes ago, Ethena announced a groundbreaking collaboration with two major players—BlackRock and Securitize—to introduce a new stablecoin called UStb.
What makes UStb stand out is that it will be backed by BlackRock’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, BUIDL, and collateralized by both BlackRock and Securitize. This will allow UStb to function similarly to a traditional stablecoin but with the added trust of being tied to U.S. Treasury assets.
Unlike Ethena’s existing stablecoin USDe, UStb will be offered as a separate product, giving users and exchange partners an alternative with a different risk profile. This fresh option is expected to broaden Ethena’s appeal, potentially drawing in more cautious investors looking for a safer bet in the volatile crypto space.
This exciting partnership with two financial giants has already fueled market confidence, leading to the sharp surge in ENA’s value today.
