We’ve closed a $9.6M Pre‑A round led by @ambergroup_io and @FundamentalLabs to ship production‑grade RGB-Lightning integrations for Bitcoin‑native stablecoin rails. Together, let’s advance Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and RGB toward sovereign, low‑fee settlement for wallets and merchants. Make Bitcoin smart.


Binance has historically pursued a strategy of providing in-house product solutions, and very rarely open their platform to external teams without rigorous examination and a demonstration of very clear product market fit. Both their investment into Ethena and now integrations of USDe into the Binance platform required many months of detailed diligence. I've personally learned a lot from them this past year and am convinced that you can only build a lasting business at the scale they have by always doing right by your users and never letting that standard drop. That is the only way to earn the trust of >250m users. The holy grail of dollar asset distribution has always been embedded within centralized exchanges alongside their user bases. And as of today USDe will now be integrated fully across the entire product suite of the largest exchange in the world. We couldn't be more excited to be expanding our relationship with Binance to offer their users a unique product across their entire platform including: i) USDe futures margin collateral across the entire derivatives platform ii) USDe spot trading pairs iii) Direct integration into the Binance Earn program With more coming in the next few weeks. Binance currently holds over ~$130b of assets and ~$40b of stablecoins, and we expect USDe to grow into one of the largest on their platform. USDe penetration for USD assets on other CEXs sits at roughly ~12% which would correspond to >$4.0b of USDe on Binance. Only the beginning for Ethena and Binance.

StablecoinX Inc. @stablecoin_x has announced an additional $530 million capital raise as part of its $ENA accumulation strategy. To date, StablecoinX has raised a total of approximately $895M in PIPE financing, which is expected to result in a vehicle with over 3 billion ENA tokens on its balance sheet at closing. This enhanced scale enables greater access to additional institutional channels, broader investor and third-party coverage, and the capacity to hire top tier leadership. As with the initial PIPE raise, the cash raised via the PIPE will be used by StablecoinX to acquire tokens from a subsidiary of the Ethena Foundation. The Ethena Foundation subsidiary will initiate an approximately $310 million buyback program over the next 6-8 weeks via third party market makers, reinforcing the alignment between the Foundation and StablecoinX shareholders. The expected deployment rate of purchases is outlined in the section below this tweet, and is incremental to the buyback program from the initial PIPE financing transaction which has now been completed. At current prices, the planned buyback program of this second PIPE transaction combined with the liquid ENA contributed to the PIPE by third party investors represents roughly 13% of circulating supply. This is in addition to the initial PIPE financing which resulted in the acquisition of approximately 7.3% of circulating token supply over the last 6 weeks. Importantly, as with the initial PIPE raise, the Ethena Foundation has the right to veto any sales of $ENA by StableCoinX at its sole discretion. Once again, to the extent StablecoinX subsequently raises capital with the intent of purchasing additional locked ENA from the Ethena Foundation or its affiliates, cash proceeds from those token sales are planned to be used to purchase spot $ENA. StablecoinX's treasury strategy is a deliberate, multi‑year capital allocation strategy that will enables StablecoinX to capture the enormous value of the secular surge in demand for digital dollars while compounding ENA per share to the benefit of shareholders.
