The founder of Ethena pointed out that Ethena and Tether are not competitors, but rather have a relationship that promotes mutual growth. In a market where 70% is priced in USDT, each short position added by Ethena creates demand for USDT, driving its rise. Traders have paid 10%-30% annual Interest Rate in USDT to go long on Perptual Futures, and Ethena is converting this demand. Tether and Ethena form a "barbell strategy," which is the ultimate development form of the industry, as the middle path is difficult to succeed.

Gate News bot, Sky (formerly MakerDAO) founder Rune Christensen and Ethena founder Guy Young recently joined The Big Brain Podcast to explore topics such as how the DeFi ecosystem is maturing, why centralized trade-offs are no longer taboo, and how AI agents and protocol generalization are changing the future of finance. Rune argues that the era of DeFi's ideological frenzy is gone. DeFi, once driven by a lofty vision and decentralization supremacism, has now evolved into a solid, value-based industry, "In the past, you would raise a lot of money with high subscription rights and then cause the market to crash, now the key is: If you want to change the world of tomorrow, can you run a sustainable business today?" Real-world assets, once ridiculed, are now key to achieving this goal. Both founders agree that the future of DeFi will no longer be dominated by human users, but by AI agents. Rune envisions a shift to "hyper-rational, capital-focused" where intelligent agents will optimize across protocols at machine speed.
