This represents a 75% increase in market cap over the past three weeks, surpassing FDUSD in stablecoin rankings.

Ethena's total value locked (TVL) is approaching $10 billion. Meanwhile, the overall stablecoin supply on the Ethereum blockchain has reached an all-time high of $145.4 billion, nearly doubling since January 2024.
