According to PANews, Ethena founder Guy Young clarified on the X platform that Ethena and Tether are not competitors but rather mutually beneficial entities. In a market where approximately 70% of perpetual contracts are denominated in USDT, each short position added by Ethena creates new demand for USDT. This is because the counterparty must use USDT as collateral to establish long positions. This mechanism implies that for every dollar of USDe issued, supported by perpetual contracts, there is an approximate $0.7 increase in demand for USDT.
Young emphasized that Tether does not need to launch its own yield products, as traders are already using USDT as collateral, paying annualized interest rates of 10% to 30% to go long on perpetual contracts. Ethena serves as a channel to convert this demand. The behavior of crypto market users is extreme, either seeking maximum liquidity or the highest returns. As interest rates decline, the middle ground, characterized by low liquidity but marketed as risk-free returns, will be eliminated. The trading sector needs to offer more liquidity and distribution advantages than Tether, while the savings sector must provide higher returns than Ethena, making the middle path difficult to succeed. Young believes that the 'barbell strategy' formed by Tether and Ethena represents the ultimate form of industry development.#Ethena #Tether #CryptoMarket #USDT #PerpetualContracts #YieldProducts #Liquidity #InvestmentStrategy #BarbellStrategy #Collateral #ETH

According to BlockBeats, the U.S. stock market is currently experiencing a significant upward trend, with the S&P 500 index maintaining a streak of 114 trading days without a 5% pullback. As of the latest reports, futures for both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 have risen by 0.3%. If this trend continues, these indices are set to achieve their longest consecutive gains since July.
Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett suggests a 'barbell strategy' as a way to navigate the current artificial intelligence boom. This approach involves balancing investments by combining low-valued cyclical assets with high-valued technology assets to manage valuation extremes.#USStockMarket #SP500 #UpwardTrend #S&P500Streak #Nasdaq100 #BankofAmerica #MichaelHartnett #BarbellStrategy #ArtificialIntelligence #CyclicalAssets #TechnologyAssets
