About Ethena Labs

Ethena Labs is actively building and deploying a suite of groundbreaking digital dollar products aiming to upgrade money into the internet era:

Our flagship product, USDe, is a synthetic dollar backed by digital assets, which became the fastest-growing dollar-adjacent crypto asset in history when it scaled from zero to $15b in 18 months.

Ethena also developed USDtb, a GENIUS Act-ready payment stablecoin, in partnership with BlackRock. USDtb is now issued by Anchorage Digital Bank after becoming the first payment stablecoin issued under U.S. federal government supervision.

Ethena Whitelabel offers applications, chains, wallets or exchanges the infrastructure to launch their own dollar asset on Ethena's back-end infrastructure with USDe and/or USDtb as the core reserve assets.

Through these offerings, Ethena Labs is not just creating new financial products; we are building foundational infrastructure for a more open, efficient, and interconnected global financial system.
