USDe, Ethena's stablecoin, has reached $320 million in supply on Robinhood Chain within eight weeks of its launch on the network, according to Token Terminal data. The asset now represents 42% of all stablecoins on Robinhood Chain, making it the largest external dollar asset there after Robinhood Chain's native USDG.
The rapid accumulation stemmed from several interconnected factors in the ecosystem's design. Steakhouse Financial selected Ethena as the primary collateral issuer when launching Robinhood Earn, and this choice directed significant capital flows into specific markets. Between 62% and 65% of liquidity from the Steakhouse USDG Vault moved into the USDe/USDG Morpho market, where borrowers concentrated deposits of USDe because it offered the deepest collateral slot available within the vault structure.
The mechanics show how protocol-level positioning and vault design can concentrate asset adoption quickly, though questions remain about the sustainability of these flows and whether borrower incentives remain aligned as market conditions evolve.
