Compound lending platform adds Ethenas USDe and Mantles mETH
- Compound has added USDe and mETH tokens to boost DeFi options.
- Ethenas USDe offers high yield and has witnessed rapid growth.
- Mantles mETH enhances staking and yielding on ETH.
In a move to bolster its offerings, Compound Finance, one of Ethereums leading decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platforms, has integrated Ethenas USDe stablecoin and Mantles mETH liquid staking token (LST) into its ecosystem.
This decision, which was voted on and approved by Compounds tokenholders on January 8, marks a significant step in the platforms evolution, aiming to capitalize on the growing trend of yield-bearing stablecoins and staking tokens within DeFi.
Compound boosts its DeFi offerings with USDe and mETH
This integration underscores the ongoing expansion of DeFi, whose total value locked (TVL) has seen substantial growth, soaring past $118 billion by January 9, 2025, according to data from DefiLlama.
This growth trajectory is partly driven by innovative assets like USDe and mETH, which not only offer collateral options but also promise attractive yields for users. Compounds decision to include these tokens reflects its commitment to staying at the forefront of DeFi innovations, providing its users with more diverse and lucrative investment opportunities.
The addition of USDe, Ethenas popular yield-bearing stablecoin, comes at a time when stablecoin markets are experiencing a surge, particularly following recent political endorsements that have propelled the sector forward.
Since its launch in February 2024, USDe has attracted significant capital, offering an average annual percentage yield (APY) of 17.5% to its staked version, sUSDe. This high yield has been a key factor in its rapid adoption, pushing its market capitalization past that of Dai, making it one of the top stablecoins globally.
Mantles mETH, on the other hand, allows users to stake ETH and earn a yield of 2.86% annually, while also exploring further yield enhancement through restaking with cmETH, Mantles liquid restaking token.
These additions to Compounds platform are expected to not only increase its TVL but also enhance the liquidity and yield options available to users, fostering a more dynamic and robust DeFi ecosystem.
