Ethena Has Integrated Ceffu's MirrorX Solution for Off-Exchange Settlement

2024-03-13  •  3 min read

We're excited to announce that synthetic dollar protocol Ethena has partnered with Ceffu to support its digital asset needs with MirrorX, our off-exchange settlement solution integrated with the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, since Ethena’s public launch in February 2024.

MirrorX allows institutional clients such as Ethena to deposit assets in Ceffu’s custody and delegate/undelegate those assets to/from the Binance Exchange without transferring them onto the exchange itself, thereby minimizing counterparty exposure. Delegated assets through MirrorX can be used to access most products and markets available on the Binance Exchange, including derivatives trading, and are automatically settled off-chain at T+1, thus enabling the frequent settlement of Ethena’s derivatives positions.

"We are excited to partner with Ceffu who has shown a commitment to serving their users and investors with the highest standards of security through the years. The unlock MirrorX and Ceffu provides us to access centralized liquidity via off-exchange settlement is pivotal to our design." - Guy Young, CEO & Founder of Ethena Labs

Ethena’s synthetic dollar product, USDe, is collateralized in part using derivatives hedging positions and therefore requires constant increases and decreases in net position sizes as USDe is minted or redeemed. The combination of Ceffu’ MPC-backed custodial services and MirrorX’s unique integration with Binance allows institutional clients to tap into the deepest pool of liquidity efficiently and with peace of mind.

“It’s always an honor to partner with pioneering projects like Ethena that are on a mission to bring innovative products and services to market. With MirrorX, Ethena gets to increase its capital allocation with mitigated exposure on the world’s most liquid crypto platform – a strong value-add for their community. We look forward to nurturing this partnership.” - Ian Loh, CEO, Ceffu
