USDe records $5.7B in cross-chain transactions
Now third-largest synthetic dollar by market cap
Growth reflects rising DeFi and stablecoin adoption

Ethena’s synthetic dollar, USDe, has reached a remarkable $5.7 billion in total cross-chain volume. This achievement places USDe firmly among the top players in the synthetic stablecoin sector, ranking third by market capitalization.

The milestone reflects both increased adoption of USDe across decentralized finance ( DeFi ) protocols and growing demand for stable, blockchain-based assets. Cross-chain volume measures how much of the asset moves between different blockchain networks, an important metric for assessing utility and liquidity.

Climbing the Synthetic Dollar Rankings

Synthetic dollars, unlike traditional stablecoins, are backed by crypto derivatives and hedging strategies rather than fiat reserves. Ethena’s approach has attracted attention due to its innovative yield strategies and capital efficiency.

By securing the third position in market capitalization rankings, USDe has surpassed several competitors, signaling strong market trust . This achievement also points to rising confidence in non-traditional stablecoin models that operate outside the constraints of traditional banking systems.

Implications for DeFi and the Stablecoin Market

The success of Ethena’s USDe is a sign that the stablecoin market is diversifying beyond fiat-collateralized models. As more traders and protocols embrace synthetic assets, liquidity across DeFi ecosystems could expand.

With $5.7 billion already moved across multiple chains, USDe’s momentum suggests it could challenge the top two synthetic dollar projects in the near future. However, its long-term growth will depend on sustained adoption, security, and continued cross-chain integration.

Bernstein believes that the co-packaged optics (CPO) and fiber demand driven by Nvidia's Rubin Ultra architecture will surge significantly, with the optical content per Pod rising from $1 million to $5.4 million. This will propel the size of Nvidia's optical ecosystem market to $46.8 billion by 2028 (a 91% annual increase). Although the industry faces supply bottlenecks with InP substrates, the outlook remains positive. The institution reiterates its “outperform” rating for Lumentum, Coherent, and Ciena.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
