Excited to share that I’m joining the brilliant team at @ethena as Head of Platform Engineering! 🚀

Looking forward to scaling the infrastructure, building out killer developer experiences, and helping push DeFi forward with this absolute powerhouse of a team.

​Let's buidl. 🛠️

[Ethena @ethena]

The first product in the Ethena ✦ Coinbase collaboration is now live.

The @SteakhouseFi High Yield Vault has officially launched on @Coinbase, powered by USDe on @Morpho.

Coinbase's user base now has access to a best in class savings rate through the vault, live in the Coinbase App for users in the U.S. and abroad.

BREAKING: $480B asset manager Janus Henderson has partnered with Ethena, allocating to USDe and making a strategic investment in ENA.

[Ethena @ethena]

Ethena has partnered with Janus Henderson, a $480 billion asset manager, to allocate and support the distribution of their liquid high-quality CLO tokenized funds.

As part of the partnership Janus Henderson has made a strategic investment into Ethena's governance token, will allocate into USDe as part of their treasury cash management, and is also exploring avenues to distribute USDe to their client base via exchange traded instruments.

[Ethena @ethena]

Ethena is partnering with @Centrifuge as a strategic tokenization partner, with the integration of JAAA, Janus Henderson's AAA CLO strategy, into USDe's backing.

This is the first non-T-Bill RWA collateral in USDe's backing, approved by the Ethena Risk Committee following independent due diligence.

Every RWA is evaluated against four strict criteria: liquidity, credit quality, drawdown profile, and pricing transparency.

AAA RWA returns are driven by factors independent of crypto markets. Diversifying USDe's backing into these assets strengthens its resilience across market cycles.

[Ethena @ethena]

Following the recent post outlining the backing diversification of USDe, we have published the next phase of that work: broadening RWA exposure beyond tokenized T-Bills.

The first asset category under evaluation is AAA CLOs, which sit at the top of the capital stack, with a zero default rate at the AAA level across the entire history of the asset class.

The allocation helps diversify the sources of revenue for Ethena across market cycles.

Our first partnerships and allocations with asset managers and issuers in this category will be released next week.

So everything got hammered. TradFi, DeFi, and ultimately we'll all feel this. Time to get my veggie garden pumping before becomes a luxury

[Bull Theory @BullTheoryio]

🚨BLOODBATH IN THE MARKET.

Over $2.5 Trillion wiped out in 24hrs.

S&P 500 is down -1.65%, wiping out $1.14 trillion, the largest single day crash since January 20.

[Ethena @ethena]

USDe is now available on @MercadoBitcoin, Brazil's largest exchange 🇧🇷

Brazil and the broader LATAM market represent one of the most significant pools of USD-denominated asset demand outside the US.

Mercado Bitcoin provides the distribution to deliver USDe directly to that demand at scale.

[Ethena @ethena]

Ethena has expanded its partnership with @Anchorage, a federally regulated crypto bank in the US, to advance its institutional investment lending through Atlas Collateral Management.

As part of this expansion, Anchorage will serve as collateral manager for Ethena's loan assets, with borrower collateral held in regulated custody at Anchorage.

The expansion builds on Anchorage's existing role as issuer for our whitelabel stablecoin products.

[Ethena @ethena]

Ethena and @coinbase have partnered to grow onchain finance and savings products for their 100m+ userbase, with the first growth initiative launching next week.

Alongside this partnership Coinbase Ventures have also made their first investment into Ethena on the open market.

• Opened new roles. https://t.co/U5G3ZFe0rV

• Operated through the rsETH incident without any issues - billions in $USDe mint and redeem flows handled cleanly, with Ethena contributing to the recovery.

Onwards.

🚨 SlowMist TI Alert 🚨

MistEye has received critical threat intelligence regarding an active supply chain attack compromising node-ipc, a foundational Node.js library. The malicious releases have been identified as versions 9.1.6, 9.2.3, and 12.0.1.

Threat actors injected an obfuscated credential-stealing payload into the CommonJS bundle. Once loaded, it silently harvests over 90 categories of developer data—including AWS, Azure, GCP, SSH, K8s tokens, and Terraform states—and exfiltrates it to attacker-controlled infrastructure. We have synchronized this IOC with our clients immediately.

Detection & Remediation:
Please urgently audit your environments for exposure:

• Dependencies: Run npm ls node-ipc --all to identify direct or transitive inclusions.

• Lockfiles: Search package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or pnpm-lock.yaml for the affected version ranges.

• CI/CD: Review pipeline jobs executed after May 14, 2026, that may have pulled loose semver updates (~9.1.x, ^12, etc.).

⚠️ Critical Action: If a compromised version was installed, assume certain compromise. Do not wait for exfiltration confirmation. Downgrade to a known safe version immediately and aggressively rotate all credentials, tokens, and environment secrets present on the affected machine or CI runner.

As always, stay vigilant!

The fact that the cursor agent "got hold of" prod api keys for the rails api shows there was zero effort put into guardrails, and they have bigger issues at hand. I feel bad for the businesses impacted, but ultimately, prod keys shouldn't have been discovered in the first place

[wesleycharlesblake.eth @wesleycblake]

This resonates with me. I salvaged parts from businesses that threw away old pcs. I scrapped together my first dual core this way. A whole 256Mb + 128Mb of mismatched ram. Ran like stone trying to go uphill. Installed Linux, got some performance boost from that alone.
