Following the commencement of the airdrop, ENA rose over 8% to trade at around 64 cents, with a market cap of close to $500 million, according to data by CoinGecko.

Ethena plans to start a campaign with new incentives for the next phase of the airdrop, according to a blog post last week.

The USDe token, which is referred to as a “synthetic dollar,” offers yields to investors by pairing ether liquid staking tokens with short ether perpetual futures position in the derivatives market to maintain a “rough target” of $1 price.
