Buying out chips, starting buybacks: Ethena fires four arrows at once, how will ENA play the 'value return' card?
On August 27, the Ethena Foundation launched a package of token economic and ecosystem reform plans, driving a sharp short-term rise in ENA price. The four core adjustments are: targeted buyout of remaining locked chips from early investors who had previously reduced holdings, clearing unstable selling pressure; changing VC investors' 3-year monthly unlocks to a one-time concentrated release on October 5, ending expectations of sustained selling pressure; signing a 'Master Framework Agreement' to incorporate protocol economic value into the value capture framework for ENA holders; and launching a tiered revenue buyback mechanism tied to USDe supply scale, gradually increasing the buyback commission ratio as USDe scale grows. This reform stems from the protocol hitting a growth bottleneck after USDe scale shrank from $15 billion to $4 billion, and Ethena is advancing business diversification transformation. Short-term reforms can repair market sentiment, long-term effectiveness depends on business growth, and the concentrated unlock in October will be the first test.

Compound Bets $52 Million on Institutional Market: Can It Return to DeFi's First Tier?
Due to fierce competition in the retail lending market and TVL dropping to less than one-tenth of Aave's, Compound decided to fully pivot to the institutional-grade DeFi market with a $52 million two-year budget, and assembled a new compliance and product-oriented management team from institutions such as Coinbase Custody and NEAR, with the budget strictly unlocked by milestones. Its V4 plan aims to build compliant and efficient on-chain credit infrastructure through API/SDK integration, RWA collateral, permissioned vaults, and a dynamic risk control engine. However, the transformation faces cash-burn pressure, slow results from institutional business, potential loss of original decentralization-minded users, and the need to catch up with first movers such as Aave; its success or failure remains to be tested over time.
