Ethena USDe Launches Strong $5M Plan for X Layer Growth

Ethena USDe is live natively on X Layer, OKX’s Layer-2 network, accessible directly via OKX Wallet. The move replaces a minimal bridged presence with full native support, launching with an Aave v3 lending market and one-click USDe looping planned inside OKX Wallet next. Until now, Ethena USDe’s footprint on X Layer was negligible. As of October 12, only 62.78 Ethena USDe existed via a LayerZero bridged version, limiting usage. Native issuance removes bridge dependency, enabling direct holding, transfers, and DeFi integration for Ethena USDe within OKX’s ecosystem.
