Asymmetry Finance has expanded the collateral options for its USDaf borrowing protocol by adding Ethena’s sUSDe as a supported asset, according to an announcement on its official X account. Users can now deposit sUSDe, Ethena’s yield-bearing staked version of the synthetic dollar USDe, to mint USDaf, Asymmetry’s overcollateralized stablecoin that offers custom fixed borrowing rates. This integration slots sUSDe alongside other supported collaterals such as BTC-backed tokens and yield-bearing stablecoins, further broadening the range of assets that can be leveraged within the Asymmetry ecosystem. sUSDe is a non-rebasing, yield-accruing token backed by a delta‑neutral strategy involving liquid staking tokens like stETH, spot BTC, and offsetting futures positions, with yield flowing to sUSDe holders via an increasing redemption rate versus USDe. By accepting sUSDe as collateral, Asymmetry connects its fixed-rate USDaf money market to one of the fastest-growing synthetic dollar systems in DeFi, potentially increasing capital efficiency for Ethena users who can now borrow against their yield-bearing stablecoin rather than unstaking into non-yielding collateral. The move also embeds Ethena more deeply into DeFi’s collateral stack, in line with a broader trend of protocols integrating USDe and sUSDe to tap into their liquidity and yield profile.
