Ethena allocates more protocol revenue to sUSDe earnings
Actionable suggestions: Pay attention to sUSDerate of return, and yield farm when sUSDe yields rise.
On May 16, Ethena announced that it would increase the proportion of income distributed to sUSDe holders from 50% to 80Xiaobai Navigation%.The calculation formula of sUSDe income is as follows:
-
sUSDe income = (protocol income x proportion allocated to sUSDe) / (USDe total supply x proportion of USDe pledged)
Ethena's totalLockingThe volume growth is entirely attributable to the growth of sUSDe.As the proportion allocated to sUSDe increased from 50% to 80%, more farmers began to stake USDe to chase the increased (absolute amount) sUSDe returns, causing the staked USDe to rise from 16% to 39%, resulting in a corresponding increase in sUSDe supply. In fact, staked USDe (increased by $680 million) grew faster than the total USDe supply (increased by $610 million) and accounted for all of the growth in Ethena's total locked volume.

Currently, sUSDeAnnualized Rate of ReturnIt is 16%.On Ethena's website, the yield shown is based on last week's earnings and sUSDe supply. With the rapid growth of sUSDe, we calculated that the current sUSDe annualized yield is about 16%, which is based onCurrent Liquid USDe RewardsandAmount of USDe pledged.

When sUSDeAnnualized Rate of ReturnGain on the rise.While we believe that the sUSDe annualized yield of 16% is relatively low, this is a result of funding rates of 5-10%, resulting in lower protocol revenue. We expect the funding rate to rise as the ETH ETF listing date approaches, resulting in an increase in the annualized yield of sUSDe. Every time the funding rate rises by 5%, the annualized yield of sUSDe should rise by about 9%. The current borrowing rate for sUSDe revolving lending is about 15%, which is only slightly lower than the current annualized yield of 16%. However, as the annualized yield of sUSDe rises, revolving lending may bring high yields.

Earn points with in-stock products.While this extended schedule means that previous points holders will be diluted, we acknowledge that the product suite will be significantly expanded. The last two cycles of the previous points season rewarded activity in its spot products - specifically buying and holding PURR. We expect this "L1 Season" will similarly reward 1) holding spotToken, 2) Buy spotToken,3)交易现货代币,和/或4)部署现货代币。
PURR's earnings.Before usThink of PURR as a proxy for Hyperliquid’s product advancementThis view remains unchanged, as PURR accounts for approximately 90% of Hyperliquid’s spot product market cap and should benefit from the new scoring season.
