Ethena Labs, a prominent player in the DeFi space, has announced a strategic partnership with Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLF), a platform backed by former US President Donald Trump. This collaboration aims to integrate Ethena’s sUSDe token, a staked version of its synthetic US dollar, into WLF’s upcoming Aave v3 instance.
As part of this partnership, Ethena Labs has submitted a governance proposal to incorporate sUSDe as the inaugural collateral asset for WLF’s market. This integration is expected to bring numerous benefits, including enhanced liquidity, increased capital efficiency, and expanded opportunities for both platforms’ users.
By integrating sUSDe, WLF aims to leverage Ethena’s extensive DeFi network and capitalize on its proven track record of success. Ethena, backed by prominent investors like Binance Labs and Fidelity Ventures, has rapidly grown since its launch in early 2024, reaching a total value locked (TVL) of nearly $6 billion. This partnership further solidifies Ethena’s position as a key player in driving innovation across the DeFi ecosystem.
