Ethena’s ENA token gained 8% reaching $0.44 while Bitcoin and Ethereum fell, as confidence returned following USDe’s stability during recent liquidations.
Notably, Ethena’s native stablecoin USDe, which temporarily lost its peg to the US dollar during the record-setting $19 billion liquidation event on Oct. 10. At the time, USDe traded as low as $0.65 on Binance, triggering a sharp 50% correction in ENA price from $0.56 to $0.34.
Following the de-peg event, Ethena declared a clean bill of health with an on-chain proof of reserves update, before founder Guy Young clarified that Binance’s oracle used internal order book data with lean liquidity instead of an external feed, causing a temporary mispricing.
As Binance’s $400 million “Together Initiative” eases investor anxiety, USDe also notably maintained its peg through the $1.2 billion market liquidations in the last 24 hours.
