USDe is Ethena’s synthetic dollar backed by delta‑neutral ETH perpetual hedge positions rather than off‑chain treasuries. The collateral basket auto‑rebalances between spot ETH, LSTs and short perps so the net delta remains near zero, turning staking rewards and funding rates into protocol revenue. USDe launched on Ethereum in January 2024 and surpassed $2 billion supply within five months, with deep secondary liquidity on Curve and Bybit.
Ondo Finance tokenises U.S. Treasuries (OUSG) and short‑term corporate notes (USDY), letting DeFi users earn off‑chain yield without KYC for small tickets. Redemptions above $100k trigger regulated KYC/AML, and tokens are soul‑bounded during the settlement window to comply with securities exemptions. OUSG is used as backing collateral for Flux’s RWA stablecoin and is integrated in Curve’s stableswap set.
