Krisztian Sandor is a reporter on the U.S. markets team focusing on stablecoins and institutional investment. He holds BTC and ETH.

Thursday it will invest its $46 million backup fund in BlackRock's and Securitize's tokenized fund BUIDL, Mountain's USDM token, Superstate's USTB and the new USDS stablecoin of Sky, formerly known as Maker.

The protocol's so-called Reserve Fund will allocate roughly $18 million in BUIDL, $13 million in USDS, $8 million in USDM and $7 million in USTB, according to a governance forum post.while shorting, or selling, equal amounts of BTC and ETH derivatives, harvesting the difference in funding rates. The allocation will allow Ethena to earn a yield on the surplus funds accrued from protocol revenues that serve as an insurance for periods when funding rates turn negative.

Ethena's move fits into a growing trend of DeFi platforms and protocol foundations moving part of their treasury assets to tokens backed by real-world assets such as U.S. short-term government bonds to earn a yield that's independent from crypto markets without leaving blockchain rails. This trend has helped the tokenized Treasury market triple in size in a year to $2.2 billion,in July to invest its Reserve Fund in RWA-backed products.

Future funds accrued in the Reserve Fund will not be invested automatically in those products, that will be a separate decision, an Ethena spokesperson told CoinDesk in email..
