Ethena says collateral held off-exchange amid Binance security reports
USDe issuer Ethena says collateral with exchange exposure sits with off-exchange custodians, not on exchanges, and its unrealised profit-and-loss exposure to Binance is about $8.8m, well below its over $60m excess reserve fund. It plans attestations from several external firms within hours.
Ethena says USDe remains overcollateralised by more than $60m
Ethena said Chainlink and Llama Risk confirmed USDe is still overcollateralised by more than $60m, a collateral ratio above 101%, and that no USDe reserve funds are held directly on Binance or other centralised exchanges. Proof of reserves is usually provided weekly by independent third parties.
