Inside the episode

Today on the show, Guy Young, founder of Ethena, and Arthur Hayes, inceptor of the Ethena Idea walk us through the Ethena Protocol and the USDe Synthetic Dollar.

Because Ethena does not use dollars in a bank, USDe is an entirely crypto-native product. It uses crypto collateral, crypto’s centralized exchanges and perp venues.

This is an entirely new design construction of a stablecoin, but is it a better approach? That’s exactly what this episode seeks to answer.
