Crypto funding rates fall, compressing yields. Does Ethena take a risky step by expanding into stock derivatives with a funding rate of 15–20% to protect the USDe portfolio size of $4 billion?
This move helps Ethena reduce reliance on crypto volatility by using TradFi oracles to tap cash flows from global equities. Diversifying the delta-neutral collateral asset base helps mitigate systemic risk for $ETH when the market enters a sideways or correction phase.
From a technical perspective, $ETH is currently trading around $2,497.44 (at the time of writing). The $2,450 support level is playing an important role; if this zone holds and there are signs of a breakout above the $2,550 resistance, the uptrend will become clearer. However, the new RWA derivatives model still carries potential liquidity and slippage risks when the stock market closes over the weekend.
Personally, I think this is a positive long-term move for DeFi. But weekend slippage risk is a factor that everyone should account for when opening a position.
