Overview
- Abu Dhabi-based M2 Capital said on Sept. 25 it acquired a $20 million position in Ethena’s governance token ENA.
- M2 Global Wealth, an affiliate of M2 Holdings, will integrate Ethena into its platform to offer regulated custody, liquidity solutions, and yield access.
- Ethena runs USDe and yield-bearing sUSDe, which use crypto collateral and delta‑neutral hedging to target stability and generate returns from staking and derivatives.
- The protocol has attracted over $14 billion in total value locked, with third-party data showing levels approaching $15 billion as adoption accelerates.
- The move aligns with the UAE’s push for clearer digital-asset rules and follows M2’s backing of Sui-related initiatives, while other firms such as ArkStream and Mega Matrix have also signaled interest in ENA.
