Founder Guy Young revealed that Ethena will introduce two completely new product lines within the next three months, marking the company’s first major move into diversification since its launch.
Young said Ethena has so far operated with a small team of around 24 members, but the firm now plans to add 10 more engineers and product developers to accelerate these new initiatives.
“Over the next three months, we’re growing the team to build two new business lines that could scale significantly. Each of these initiatives has the potential to become as impactful as USDe itself.”

The announcement signals Ethena’s ambition to move beyond its flagship stablecoin, which has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing algorithmic assets in the crypto sector. This shift aligns with a broader trend in decentralized finance, where stablecoin issuers are branching into wider financial services and liquidity solutions.
Ethena Labs Poised for Next Growth Phase
Ethena’s USDe has rapidly gained traction since its debut, distinguishing itself as an algorithmic stablecoin that uses smart contracts to maintain price stability. Yet, its success has also invited comparisons to TerraUSD (UST), the ill-fated stablecoin that collapsed in 2022 and sent shockwaves through the crypto market.
With two new products in development and an expanded engineering team on the way, Ethena Labs is positioning itself to solidify its status as one of the most forward-thinking DeFi innovators of the year.
