Based has received a strategic investment from Ethena Labs to drive wider adoption of Ethena’s USDe stablecoin on Hyperliquid.

Summary
  • Based contributes nearly 7% of Hyperliquid’s 24-hour perpetual futures volume and will use Ethena’s investment to scale the adoption of USDe stablecoin on its platform.
  • With a market capitalization of $12.8 billion, USDe ranks as the third-largest stablecoin, trailing only USDT and USDC.

Based, the largest builder codes platform generating nearly 7% of Hyperliquid’s perps volume, has just announced a strategic investment from Ethena Labs.

According to Based, the funds from Ethena are intended to accelerate the adoption of Ethena’s USDe stablecoin within the Hyperliquid ecosystem. “We think USDe can play a key role in the Hyperliquid ecosystem and want to be a conduit through which that can happen,” the team said in a post on X.

Ethena added that the partnership will position Based as a key partner for the adoption of not only USDe stablecoin, but also USDtb and other unreleased Ethena products on Hyperliquid.

Ethena’s USDe stablecoin gains traction

This announcement comes amid growing momentum for Ethena’s USDe stablecoin, which continues to see increasing adoption across a range of platforms and ecosystems. Recently, FalconX, a U.S.-based digital asset prime brokerage, integrated USDe into its offerings, enabling institutional clients to trade, custody, and use the stablecoin as collateral.

Alongside FalconX and Hyperliquid, USDe has recently been launched on the Telegram Open Network, making it accessible through Telegram’s built-in wallet as well as third-party TON wallets.

USDe market cap currently stands at $12.8 billion, making it the third-largest stablecoin by market capitalization behind USDT and USDC.

XRP ETF Becomes 2025’s Biggest U.S. Fund Launch

The post XRP ETF Becomes 2025’s Biggest U.S. Fund Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins 19 September 2025 | 17:07 Wall Street’s appetite for crypto-based funds was on full display this week as Rex-Osprey brought two new products to market. The firm’s XRP ETF (XRPR) smashed records on its first day, drawing in more than $37 million in trades and instantly becoming the most successful U.S. ETF debut of 2025. Trading was fast and furious from the opening bell, with activity surpassing $24 million in under two hours. Analysts noted that no crypto futures ETF introduced this year came close to that pace, pointing to a sharp rise in demand for regulated exposure to alternative digital assets. Not to be overshadowed, Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) also made a splash. Its first-hour tally of $6 million in volume pushed it toward a $17 million close, placing it among the year’s five strongest ETF launches across all asset classes. A Different Regulatory Path Unlike last year’s spot Bitcoin and Ethereum funds, which were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, Rex-Osprey chose a different playbook. Both of its new products are tied to Cayman Islands subsidiaries and operate under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This structure shows how issuers are experimenting with multiple regulatory routes to bring altcoins into mainstream finance. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas called the surge in activity “a good omen” for the wave of altcoin ETFs expected later in the year, suggesting that investor interest is only just beginning. Token Prices Lag Behind The rush into ETFs didn’t lift the coins themselves. XRP slipped to $3.02, down 3% on the day, and has been stuck in a narrow band around the $3 mark all week. Dogecoin also eased, sliding 2% to $0.2735 after briefly touching a seven-month peak of $0.2879. The divergence highlights an emerging trend in crypto markets: while institutions appear eager…
