Earlier this year, MEXC Ventures made a $16 million ENA purchase and acquired $20 million in USDe, the synthetic stablecoin built by Ethena. USDe is structured to track the value of the U.S. dollar without holding cash reserves. Instead, it uses a mix of existing stablecoins and derivative contracts to maintain its value.

The market capitalization for USDe has almost tripled in recent months, rising from about $5.3 billion in early July to $14.65 billion. However, traditional stablecoins that are backed by dollars or government securities like U.S. Treasurys continue to dominate the market, with leading stablecoin USDT holding a market cap of $174.7 billion.

MEXC Ventures stated that it has invested more than $100 million in 40 projects in total. Seven of these projects have received what the company described as “enhanced empowerment support,” which includes resources and strategic guidance in addition to capital. Investment Director Leo Zhao said, “We view our role as ecosystem builders rather than passive investors.”
