“title”: “USDe Supply Contracts Amid Dominance of Fiat-Backed Stablecoin Rivals”,
“content”: “The supply of Ethena’s USDe stablecoin contracted significantly in November, declining by approximately 24%. This reduction in circulating supply coincides with a period of substantial growth for major fiat-backed stablecoins, which collectively added billions to their market capitalization. Rivals including Tether’s USDT, Circle’s USDC, PayPal’s PYUSD, and the recently launched RLUSD all reported notable expansion during the same timeframe. The divergent trajectories highlight a shifting competitive landscape within the stablecoin sector, where assets directly collateralized by traditional currency reserves continue to command dominant market share and user preference. Analysts observe that market participants may be demonstrating a pronounced inclination toward stability assurances provided by established fiat-backed models, especially during periods of broader market volatility. The performance of USDe, a synthetic dollar protocol, underscores the ongoing challenge for algorithmic and crypto-collateralized stablecoins in capturing and retaining significant market share against deeply entrenched, liquidity-rich alternatives backed by traditional finance reserves.”,
