1. Ethena is the first project to introduce the Stablecoin model with the highest profit threshold of ~ 30%. Ethena is also highly appreciated by funds when raising more than $20M, Dragonfly alone leads 2 rounds of funding, and also has an impressive launch with more than $1.3B TVL after only 3 months of launching the platform.

Stablecoin profits come from Staking Reward by using LST as collateral and Funding Rate fees of Short ETH positions on CEX. Staking rewards from LST are only about 3% to 4% but Funding Rate fees are higher, ranging from 0% to 20% per year.
