The one-month promotion runs between September 22 and October 21, and could see stablecoin enthusiasts interact with one of the highest passive-earning opportunities.

Understanding Ethena’s stablecoin

Ethena’s USDe has seen massive traction lately. It remains unique from established projects like USDT and USDC in different ways.

USDe isn’t a fiat-backed asset. While USDT and USDC are dollar-pegged, Ethena’s is a digital dollar leveraging special strategies and crypto backing for stability.

USDe leverages delta-hedged positions in stable assets, including BTC and ETH.

Also, it has attracted attention due to its yield-bearing features, allowing individuals to earn from their idle stablecoins.

USDe has quickly dominated the spotlight as the top non-fiat-backed USD-denominated cryptocurrency.

DeFiLlama data shows it boasts over $14.076 billion in circulating supply, and around $14.104 billion in market cap.

Binance’s push for user engagement

The USDe incentive program reflects Binance’s dedication to attracting and retaining users through passive income.

With yield-bearing assets gaining traction, the exchange is positioning itself as a leading platform for lucrative earnings.

Meanwhile, USDe holders will take the promotion as an opportunity to earn from the balances with minimal effort.

The move also signals Binance’s conviction in Ethena’s future and growing influence with DeFi and CeFi.

Binance’s USDe rewards

The rewards are straightforward and aim to incentivize loyal holders, and not speculators.

Individuals start earning automatically once they hold more than 0.01 USDe in Funding, Margin, or Spot accounts.

Users will enjoy 8% APR, but the figure remains at 12% APR during the 1-month promotion period.

Meanwhile, the exchange will take multiple snapshots during the day to determine minimum balances and guarantee fair calculations.

How to qualify

Holding USDe is the only requirement.

Users can purchase the stablecoin through the Spot market and enjoy fee-free USDE-USDT through December 22.

Users with small and massive balances can leverage Binance’s USDe earn program, as there’s no limit on holdings.

However, it’s crucial to check your region’s eligibility.

Binance has cautioned that individuals in restricted areas like Canada, the EU, Japan, the US, and Australia cannot participate.

Ethena’s native coin trades at $0.6017 after losing 8% in the past day amid the broader market bloodbath.
