USDe shattered expectations in 2024, emerging as the largest decentralized stablecoin in circulation and a game-changer for DeFi.

Guy also breaks down the mechanics behind Ethena’s innovative strategies, including “Aavethena,” a yield-boosting approach that’s changing how users interact with synthetic dollars.
