Ethena's USDe Outpaces BlackRock's Bitcoin, Ether ETFs With $3.1B Inflow Surge
According to on-chain data curated by the Ethena community, the supply increase since July 17 is the fastest period of growth since the protocol's inception in February 2024.
Inflow into the yield-bearing stablecoin exceeds the $2.75 billion added to BlackRock's ether ETF (ETHA) and the $1.60 billion into its bitcoin ETF (IBIT) in the same period, making the DeFi-native stablecoin the biggest magnet for capital across both on- and off-chain markets in recent weeks.
The rally has spilled over into Ethena's governance token ENA, which more than doubled in the past month, though it is down 12% in the past 24 hours as traders hope the long-awaited fee switch will soon activate.
The protocol has already surpassed most of the thresholds required to distribute revenue to staked ENA holders, with the final benchmark, a favorable yield spread versus rivals, expected to be met soon.
USDe's reflexive loop
USDe's recent growth reflects a powerful reflexive loop built into its core design, as Nansen explained in a recent research report on the Ethena ecosystem.
As bitcoin and ether prices rally, perpetual funding rates in turn increasingly positive. Ethena captures this funding via delta-neutral hedges, and distributes it as real-time yield to sUSDe holders.
That higher yield then draws in more users, leading to greater USDe issuance, more hedging, and more protocol revenue.
In the last month, Ethena has brought in nearly $50 million in feed and $10 million in revenue, according to DeFiLlama data. This makes it the sixth best-performing protocol for monthly fee revenue according to the data aggregator.
ENA is currently trading for $0.58.

AI For Coaches: 5 Essential Moves To Avoid Being Replaced
Clients want outcomes. That's why they get coaching. Even if they don't know exactly what outcome, they have an idea. They want to stop feeling confused or lost. They want to be more present and less disconnected, or move from short term thinking to long term thinking. They want to make more money, easier and faster, or have more time to spend with their family. Coaches provide empathy, accountability and a sounding board, sure. But your friends can do that. Your dog can too. The coaches who survive 2025 and beyond are not the ones clinging to romanticised ideas of what a coaching relationship 'should' include. They are the ones figuring out how to get the best outcome for their clients, in the fastest and most effective way. Those in the know understand AI is coming for coaches. Here's what to do. How to survive (and thrive) in the AI era as a coach: 5 essential components If you have to be in front of your client to help them reach a transformation, your business is not sustainable. Either you'll burn out or they won't be able to afford it. Neither of you win. Most people don't need to be taught, they need to be reminded. They don't need brand new approaches, they need to take consistent action on the same ones. To scale beyond your time as a top coach, make use of AI to create digital assets. Your unique genius, accessed by clients in multiple formats (including these 10). Create mini courses, newsletters, helpful guides. Everything you recommend, every framework you follow, every question you ask. No, this is not going to replace your in-person sessions. But you'll be adding so much value around them, your clients will make progress like never before. Plus, you won't need to be on call and they get unlimited help. Create an ecosystem of upsells and downsells that scale. Start building. You are not available at 11pm or 5am. But your clients want your thoughts on their challenge whenever it crosses their mind. Be omnipresent with clever use of AI. No deception, no trickery. Upload your signature content into an AI tool that replicates you and creates an AI coaching experience. Once your client goes to ChatGPT for guidance, anything could happen. They get generic advice, questionable reframes and they go off track. But when they engage with the AI coach version of you, they hear a consistent message that keeps them going in between sessions. Leverage AI coaching, based on your methods, so your clients make progress when you're asleep. Create this weekend with a specialist tool like Coachvox. Plenty of coaches have figured out social media. They are posting regularly to win clients and have their message shared. Many aren't sharing unique messages, they're just shouting the loudest. And people are listening. Don't let less qualified coaches steal attention from you. Don't let them hook your clients. Show up on social media with the help of AI. You have everything you need in your current week. If you're creating content from scratch, you're ignoring your ace cards. Coaches delivering sessions every single week don't need to do this. Your client calls contain every question you've asked, every reframe you've given, every breakthrough you've helped someone achieve. Use this information, with permission, of course. First step: Take your (anonymised, unidentifiable) coaching call transcripts and turn them into posts that resonate with dream clients. Use ChatGPT, Claude, or your own AI. Get inside their heads and stay there. Grow on social media to attract inbound leads with people who just feel like you 'get' them. Your clients expect you to use AI. Those that are switched-on to technology know that it can enhance your memory, understanding and analytical skills. It can spot patterns, read between the lines, and see things you might miss. AI isn't your competition, it's your companion. Make use of GoogleLM, Claude Projects or OpenAIs GPTs to create client areas. Definitely (and this is important) remove identifying information. Consider using pseudonyms for each client. But don't overlook the valuable information you could gather from the words they say and the beliefs and fears they repeat. Safely and securely (and with their permission) store session information where you can ask questions of it. Get your own AI coaching assistant. Be open to learning, help your clients achieve success. You're not here to spend hours at your laptop, creating content and sending emails. Most of them are surplus to requirements. Not only can you automate your content creation, with simple automations (set up using Zapier and Make) that send data to an LLM and then to your document or social media platform of choice, but your scheduling communications can be automated too. When someone books their session, have it trigger an email sequence that reminds them how to show up, what you discussed last session, and encourages them to engage with your AI. Your job is to turn up and run the session. Use your superpowers. Be your awesome coach self, not your own marketing assistant. Stop doing tasks a robot could do. Instead, give them to a robot. Ask your VA to figure it out. Zap your way to success and free up your time. Automate the admin. AI for coaches: protect your coaching business with AI Your choice is simple. Become irreplaceable by combining your unique genius with AI. Secure outcomes for clients, faster and easier than ever before. Or lose out to AI, and other coaches that use it. Build digital assets that share your methods far and wide, then charge for implementation. Create the AI version of you as a lead magnet, or to add value to clients. Write social media content based on your transcripts, leverage AI-powered coaching for better results, and automate everything that doesn't need to be you. You'll be relieved you started today.

Ex-SEC staff warns of another Lehman Brothers collapse
Ex-SEC staff warns of another Lehman Brothers collapse originally appeared on TheStreet. Amanda Fischer, the former Chief of Staff at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has issued a blunt warning following the regulatory agency's Division of Corporation Finance revealing its latest stance on liquid staking activities. On Aug. 5, the Division released a statement as per which certain liquid staking activities associated with protocol staking don't constitute the sale of securities, and therefore, parties associated with these activities need not register with the SEC under the securities laws. Let's first break down the concept of liquid staking. Crypto staking refers to the process of staking or locking up your digital assets like Ethereum to help secure a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain and earn rewards in staking goes one step further and lets you not only stake your crypto assets in exchange for rewards but also doesn't lock up those assets and instead makes them liquid so that they can continue to be traded. This is how the process takes place. When you stake your crypto assets, you receive a tokenized version of these assets, such as sETH, which can be traded in the market. While the SEC Chairman Paul Atkins hailed the statement for offering clear guidance on crypto, Fischer slammed it as giving validation to "rehypothecation" that led to the collapse of the Lehman Brothers. Rehypothecation is the practice of a lender using collateral received from a borrower for their own benefit, often to secure their own loans or participate in other transactions. Note that the practise played a crucial role in the Lehman Brothers collapse and subsequent 2008 financial crisis. Since the new guideline allows rehypothecation in crypto without the SEC or Fed's oversight, it's worse, Fischer crypto assets and receiving duplicate tokens for trading is no different from Lehman Brothers borrowing customers' assets and using them as collateral to make other bets in the market, she warned. Akin to 30x bets on subprime mortgage If these "synthetic" tokens fail or get hacked, it can exacerbate losses, she cautioned. "Assets can also be restaked and restaked and restaked - generating synethic token upon synthetic token. It begins to look a lot like the leverage on derivatives tied to mortgages. A subprime mortgage is a risk to one bank - but when there are 30x bets on that mortgage? Woof" Fischer also underlined how long the wait times are for unstaking crypto assets. While such an activity in traditional securities markets is heavily regulated, the SEC is letting the crypto industry get away with it, she added.

How DeepSeek and Open-Source Models Are Shaking Up AI
Tech companies and academics have long wrestled with the risks and rewards of building open-source software. But the frenzy around generative artificial intelligence has lent new significance to the debate. DeepSeek and other Chinese companies have pushed out a wave of low-cost, open source models that rival software from the top American AI developers. In response, OpenAI, a leading US AI company, has released a new open model, its first in six years. The Trump administration has called for more US tech companies to do the same.
