Ethena maintained a strong comeback as its assets jumped to a record high on the heels of President-elect Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) buying the token.
Ethena (ENA) token jumped to a high of $1.20, its highest level since April 14, and 525% above its lowest level this year. This rally has pushed its market cap to over $3.36 billion.

ENA price has also rallied as odds that the USDe stablecoin will de-peg in 2024 fell. According to Polymarket, there is just a 2% chance that the token will drop below 90 cents as Terra USD did in 2022.
