A certain trading platform is about to launch multi-currency trading pairs for USDe, including KRW, BTC, and USDT pairs. As a product of Ethena Protocol, USDe adopts an innovative delta-neutral architecture—a synthetic stablecoin design concept. The cleverness of this mechanism lies in the fact that users, while holding cryptocurrencies like ETH and BTC as collateral, establish corresponding short positions in the derivatives market, ensuring that the overall nominal value remains stable. Simply put, the risk of price fluctuations of the collateral is hedged by derivatives. This design not only allows capital to circulate efficiently but also avoids the inefficiency associated with traditional over-collateralized stablecoins. The launch of multiple trading pairs signifies a further improvement in the liquidity ecosystem of this type of stablecoin.

Delta neutral sounds sophisticated, but it's actually just like one hand cutting the other, right?

Delta neutrality sounds good, but can this hedging logic withstand a bear market? --- Another stablecoin, with a more complete liquidity ecosystem, seems like a new project every day --- Having more trading pairs is a good thing, but I'm worried it might just be mirror trading, and then retail investors are still the ones who lose --- Hedging risks with collateral? Where does the return come from? There’s no such thing as a free lunch --- USDe is still popular now, but with so many pairs listed, it depends on whether it can sustain itself --- Derivatives hedging sounds professional, but in practice, could it be more complicated than over-collateralization? --- The Korean won pairing is interesting; the Asian market is indeed picking up --- Capital flow efficiency has improved, but how do we account for the risk concentration in the derivatives market?

Another delta-neutral trick, theoretically feasible, but in practice, you end up locking yourself in a contract to be a guinea pig.

Delta neutrality sounds impressive, but can it really stay stable? The risks associated with derivatives trading are not negligible either.

Delta neutral sounds impressive, but is it really that stable? Feels like a sudden explosion could happen any day. --- Another stablecoin. Will it survive the bear market this time? Hard to say. --- KRW pairing? Are they entering the Asian market? That's interesting. --- Hedging, hedging. Hearing it so often, but still worried about risk exposure. --- Liquidity improvement is real, but what about the credit foundation? --- The short hedge approach—if derivatives cool off, the entire system collapses. Just thinking about it makes me nervous. --- USDT is still around, so why switch to USDe? Unless the returns are explosive. --- Delta neutral? Basically, it's a bet on the maturity of the derivatives market. Let's wait and see.

Delta hedging sounds pretty good, but I wonder if it will actually crash when put into practice. But improved liquidity is definitely a good thing, at least you can get out. Will USDe become the next UST... I'm a bit worried. This architecture is a bit scary in its complexity, is it really stable? Having more trading pairs launched earlier should have been like this, otherwise, how else to use it.
