Ethena Labs has proposed its synthetic stablecoin USDe for some of the DeFi vaults of World Liberty Financial. Trump’s DeFi project will use the technology of Aave to deliver passive income.&nbsp; 
Ethena has proposed the synthetic stablecoin USDe as an asset in the loan portfolio of World Liberty Financial. The Trump family DeFi hub will build lending vaults using the technology of Aave V3 and will have to decide on assets accepted for collaterals and loans.&nbsp;

Ethena’s goal will be to position USDe as a core collateral asset. World Liberty Fi lenders and liquidity providers will then be able to earn both sUSDe and WLFI tokens as a reward.&nbsp; 
The addition of USDe has been wrapped in a governance proposal. If passed, USDe will be used in a way similar to its role in the core Aave lending protocol. However, the proposal will only receive votes when World Liberty Fi is fully approved and launches its first lending vaults. At this early stage, the potential <a href="https://governance.worldlibertyfinancial.com/t/proposal-to-onboard-susde-to-world-liberty-financial-aave-instance/2039" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">vote</a> adds more hype to WLFI and USDe.&nbsp; 
Aave (AAVE) has already voted on accepting <a href="https://app.aave.com/governance/v3/proposal/?proposalId=113" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">USDe</a>, and the stablecoin has spread to other DeFi protocols. The synthetic stablecoin is one of the fast-growing assets, aiming to gain legitimacy and prove its stability.&nbsp; 
For now, there is no finalized decision on adding USDe to the list of assets. World Liberty Fi owns a small amount of ENA tokens but has not committed to owning USDe.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-world-liberty-fi-is-still-far-from-its-fundraising-goal-span">World Liberty Fi is still far from its fundraising goal</h3> 
World Liberty Financial has sold a total of 5.02B tokens, which is just 25% of its total goal. The token price is a low $0.015 and there is visible buying activity. However, WLFI will not start trading any time soon, turning all buyers into reluctant holders.&nbsp; 
Additionally, WLFI will be a staking and governance token, with a focus on holding for the long term.&nbsp; 
In the background, World Liberty Fi has been preparing for its role as a DeFi hub. The project acquired LINK tokens for its partnership with the Chainlink oracle provider. World Liberty also holds AAVE, in addition to stablecoins. 
There is no fixed date for launching the lending pool and adding a point of mainstream access for DeFi.&nbsp; 
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-usde-supply-grows-above-6-1b-span">USDe supply grows above 6.1B</h3> 
The partnership proposal comes at a time when Ethena’s USDe is expanding. It has become the third-largest stablecoin surpassing DAI and its swapped version, USDS.&nbsp; 
The total supply of USDe is now 6.1B, growing from lows of 2.4B in the middle of October. In the past 30 days, USDe expanded from around 3.5B to its current supply, with no sign of stopping.&nbsp; 
The continuation of the bull market for both BTC and ETH gave Ethena more confidence and higher earnings. This scenario has allowed the protocol to create more of the synthetic asset, with the option to burn the supply if market conditions change.&nbsp; 
Out of the total supply, 4.5B of the tokens are staked in the form of sUSDe. The token trades at a premium of $1.13, but takes longer to be unstaked. Ethena’s goal is to keep sUSDe supply high, keeping the stability of USDe during periods of market instability.&nbsp; 
After the news of supply expansion, ENA kept its position at around $1.10. The token also sees <a href="https://x.com/spotonchain/status/1869242176791830921" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">whale accumulation</a> in the past day, as attention shifts to DeFi protocols and sources of passive income. 
ENA still trades close to its upper range, immediately reflecting the bull market for ETH and BTC. ENA is still up by as much as 600% in the past quarter, expecting to move to a higher range if the bull run continues. <a href="https://www-cryptopolitan-com.webpkgcache.com/doc/-/s/www.cryptopolitan.com/ethena-ena-fees-rally-pantera-loads-reserves/">ENA</a> predictions range from $3 to $8.&nbsp; 
In the past month, Ethena at one point surpassed even Tether in 24-hour fee generation. For the completed month of November, the Ethena protocol has earnings of <a href="https://tokenterminal.com/explorer/financial-statements/ethena" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">$7.21M</a>, leading to renewed hype and expansion.&nbsp;
