TUESDAY, 17th December 2024 - Copper, a leader in digital asset custody, collateral management, and prime services, is pleased to announce that building on its partnership with Ethena, a major decentralized finance protocol, a part of USDtb’s backing assets will be custodied with Copper. Copper users who are holders of USDe and USDtb tokens will also be able to earn rewards by simply holding their tokens in Copper’s infrastructure.

Since its launch in February 2024, USDe has amassed a market cap of over $5.7bn. To learn more about the key features, read our recent blog: Protect USDe margin collateral through ClearLoop.

Both USDe and USDtb rewards will be calculated daily with clients’ assets remaining at all times fully secure, accessible, and segregated in users’ accounts leveraging Copper’s MPC security model.

Ben Lorente, Strategic Alliances Director at Copper, commented: “Our clients are digital asset pioneers. They are eager to make the most of all the assets they hold within Copper, without compromising on security and accessibility. As such, we’re proud to have Ethena as a client and partner to innovate with."

“We’re thrilled to build upon our existing partnership with Copper, which has established itself as one of the most trusted and innovative custodians in our industry,” said Guy Young, founder of Ethena. “The launch of USDtb marks a significant milestone for our protocol, and we believe placing its backing assets within Copper’s award-winning custody infrastructure further reinforces USDtb’s position as one of the safest stablecoins on the market. We’re also excited that Copper’s institutional clients can now earn rewards on USDtb, and we look forward to capitalizing on additional opportunities to drive value for both our stakeholders and the entire Ethereum ecosystem.”
