根據彭博社昨天的一份報告，該分散的Stablecoin項目Ethena已籌集了1億美元（1.57億美元），以開發其新版本的USDE Stablecoin，以大型機構用例。

A decentralised stablecoin project, Ethena, has raised US$100 million (AU$157m) to develop a new version of its USDe stablecoin targeting large institutional use cases, according to a report from Bloomberg yesterday.

根據彭博社昨天的一份報告，一個分散的Stablecoin項目Ethena已籌集了1億美元（1.57億美元），以開發其新版本的USDE Stablecoin針對大型機構用例的新版本。

The new stablecoin will be known as iUSDe and will form the centrepiece of Ethena’s attempt to bridge the crypto and TradFi worlds.

新的Stablecoin將被稱為IUSDE，並將成為Ethena試圖橋接加密和Tradfi世界的核心。

A source close to the project claims that the fundraising involved sales of Ethena’s ENA governance token at a price of US$0.40 to several large institutional investors, including Franklin Templeton, Pantera Capital and F-Prime Capital. The funding was completed in December of last year but was only made public yesterday.

接近該項目的消息人士稱，籌款活動涉及埃塞納（Ethena）的ENA治理令牌的銷售，價格為0.40美元，包括富蘭克林·鄧普頓（Franklin Templeton），潘特拉（Pantera）資本和F -Prime Capital，包括幾個大型機構投資者。這筆資金於去年12月完成，但昨天才公開。

Sources close to the project told Bloomberg that Ethena will also be using some of the US$100 million raised to develop its own purpose built layer-1 blockchain.

接近該項目的消息人士告訴彭博社，Ethena還將使用一些籌集的1億美元來開發自己的用途建立層1區塊鏈。

New Token ‘Identical To’ Staked Version Of USDe

新的令牌'與usde的固定版本相同

The new institutional version of USDe was teased in a January blog post by Ethena Labs founder, Guy Young — Ethena Labs is the startup behind Ethena. In that post Young explained that iUSDe would be “identical to” sUSDe (the staked version of USDe) with a few minor additions to ease regulatory compliance for institutional users:

Ethena Labs創始人Guy Young - Ethena Labs是Ethena背後的創業公司，在1月份的博客文章中取笑了新的機構版本。在那篇文章中，Young解釋說，IUSDE將與Susde（USDE的固定版本）“相同），並為製度用戶提供了一些較小的補充，以減輕法規合規性：

Young added that deepening ties with TradFi through iUSDe will be Ethena’s main goal for Q1 of 2025:

Young補充說，通過IUSDE與Tradfi的聯繫將是Ethena的主要目標2025年第1季度的主要目標：

Ethena Strengthens Its Ties To Powerful Players

埃塞納（Ethena）加強了與強大球員的聯繫

In addition to now having large institutional backers, Ethena has also cultivated ties with powerful political figures, including the Trump family.

除了現在擁有龐大的機構支持者外，埃塞納還與包括特朗普家族在內的有力政治人物建立了聯繫。

Ethena Labs announced in December that it had entered into a strategic partnership with the Trump family’s DeFi project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), adding that “a governance proposal has been submitted to add sUSDe to WLFI’s upcoming Aave instance as a core collateral asset.”

Ethena Labs在12月宣布，它已經與特朗普家族的Fefi項目World Liberty Financial（WLFI）建立了戰略合作夥伴關係，並補充說：“已提出一項治理提案，以將SUSDE添加到WLFI即將舉行的AAVE實例中，作為核心的核心額外資產。透明

These ties to powerful figures in TradFi and politics build on what was a breakout year for Ethena in 2024 — with USDe having grown to become the third largest “USD asset in the space at $6 billion supply in 10 months”, according to Young.

Young稱，這些與Tradfi和政治方面的有力數字建立在2024年Ethena的突破一年的基礎上- USD已成長為該空間中第三大的“ USD資產，10個月內的60億美元供應” 。

Young also claims Ethena was the second fastest crypto startup in history to reach US$100 million in revenue, second only to the Solana memecoin launchpad, pump.fun.

Young還聲稱Ethena是歷史上第二快的加密初創公司，其收入達到1億美元，僅次於Solana Memecoin Launchpad，Pump.Fun。

This growth has been largely driven by USDe’s incredibly high yields, which have at times hit as high as 60% per year. Ethena can offer these high yields because USDe differs from the leading stablecoins, USDC and Tether, in a number of important ways:

這種增長在很大程度上是由USDE令人難以置信的高收益率驅動的，有時每年達到60％。 Ethena可以提供這些高收益，因為USD與領先的Stablecoins，USDC和Tether不同，以多種重要方式：

Those of us who remember what happened in 2022 when the Terra stablecoin catastrophically depegged will be acutely aware of the potential risks of these high-yielding stablecoins should things go awry.

我們當中那些記得2022年發生的事情的人，當時Terra Stablecoin發生災難性的人會敏銳地意識到這些高產的穩定菌的潛在風險，如果事情變得不好。
