Why is Ethena up today?
Ethena is essentially holding ground today — up 0.8% over 24 hours and down 0.4% in the last hour at $0.2084 — after the bulk of the move happened earlier in the week. ENA led the top 90 cryptocurrencies on Oct. 25 with an 8.66% gain, including a 4.46% hourly jump to $0.2037 on Binance spot that triggered about $120,000 in short liquidations against zero long liquidations. That rebound carried into Oct. 26, when the token added roughly 8% despite Arthur Hayes selling $2.7 million of ENA, leaving it up 8.9% on the week while Bitcoin is down 3.0%.
The backdrop is a heavy run of stablecoin policy news relevant to Ethena's synthetic dollar business. The OCC finalized its GENIUS Act rules and urged community banks to become payment stablecoin issuers, and gave Ripple final approval for a national trust bank that puts RLUSD reserves under federal supervision. Canada, meanwhile, published draft rules requiring one-to-one reserves and maintaining a ban on paying stablecoin holders yield.
Traders cited in coverage are watching the $0.23 area as nearby resistance.
