●Protocol sees $1.4 billion in outflows over the past six weeks
●Arthur Hayes reportedly exited ENA position amid funding rate compression
Market analysis indicates that Ethena's USDe is facing negative carry, as its 5.1% yield now trails the Aave USDC borrow rate of 5.4%. This inversion means leveraged positions are currently costing traders approximately 0.3% to maintain.
This yield compression has reportedly led to $1.4 billion in exits over the last six weeks. Additionally, reports suggest that Arthur Hayes liquidated his entire ENA position at a loss two weeks ago as funding rates compressed from 15% to 5%.
