YZi Labs, formerly known as Binance Labs, has announced a greater investment in Ethena Labs to strengthen its synthetic stablecoin, USDe. The new funding will be used to expand USDe's infrastructure and products, with the goal of increasing its presence on both centralized and decentralized exchanges.
This partnership aims to boost USDe's liquidity and adoption, especially on the BNB Chain. A key part of the collaboration is the further development of the "Converge" institutional settlement layer to enhance the broader digital dollar ecosystem.
While the exact investment amount was not disclosed, the announcement has been met with positive reactions from the community. Ethena Labs CEO Guy Young called the partnership crucial for making USDe a global solution.
