1225 GMT - Ethena's ENA token could rise to $2.00 by the end of 2028 from $0.26 at present as its yield-bearing stablecoin USDe scales up, Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick says in a note. "This would outpace our projected price gains for both ethereum and bitcoin," he says. USDe popularized yield-bearing stablecoins after its 2023 launch and was the fastest stablecoin to reach a $10 billion market capitalization, he says. Yield-bearing stablecoins represent 5% of the stablecoin market and this share should increase over time as users seek yield as well as stablecoin functionality, enabling Ethena to capture users and assets under management. As USDe scales, the revenue generated will dictate a sharp move higher in ENA, he says.
