Ethena's synthetic USDe dollar has experienced a significant increase in its market capitalization, making it the third-largest stablecoin behind Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC. The growth of USDe is attributed to its appeal as a yield-generating asset, offering attractive annual percentage yields to holders. However, some critics have raised concerns about the sustainability of Ethena's model, drawing parallels with the ill-fated Terra-Luna project. Despite these concerns, demand for USDe remains high as its supply and borrow APR rates outpace those of other stablecoins on platforms like Aave.
