Ethena launches USDe and sUSDe on TRON
GENEVA and LISBON, Portugal, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TRON DAO (“TRON”) and Ethena Labs (“Ethena”) today announced that USDe and sUSDe are live on the TRON network, expanding access to Ethena’s digital dollar products across one of the world’s largest stablecoin settlement networks.
Users can now bridge USDe and sUSDe to TRON through Stargate Finance and hold or transfer both assets across the network. Support across TRON’s core DeFi applications, including JustLend DAO and SUN.io, is expected to roll out over the coming weeks, with broader adoption across wallets, exchanges, and payment applications to follow. USDe on TRON will also remain connected to liquidity across Ethena’s other supported networks, supporting interoperability across Ethena’s broader multichain ecosystem.
USDe brings an additional dollar-denominated asset to TRON, while sUSDe gives TRON’s global user base exposure to Ethena’s rewards-bearing digital dollar product. In turn, Ethena connects with TRON’s global base of over 403 million accounts, where dollar-denominated assets already move at significant scale.
“Millions of people rely on the TRON network every day to make payments, save, and move value globally,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “Bringing USDe and sUSDe to TRON broadens the options available to users and further strengthens the network as decentralized infrastructure for everyday use.”
“TRON has a massive user base that already holds and moves digital dollars in significant size,” said Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs. “Bringing USDe and sUSDe to that ecosystem means those users can hold a dollar that accrues rewards on the network they already use. This integration is the latest step in our effort to bring our digital dollar products to as many people as possible, and we look forward to continuing to work with the TRON DAO team to find new ways to bring value to TRON’s users.”
The integration marks the latest step in USDe’s multichain expansion, with the asset now supported across more than a dozen networks and integrated with leading centralized exchanges and DeFi applications.
About Ethena Labs
Ethena Labs is the development team behind USDe and USDtb and a contributor to the Ethena protocol. Ethena’s USDe is the fastest growing USD-denominated crypto asset in history, encompassing integrations across some of the largest centralized exchanges and major DeFi applications. Ethena is backed by Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Dragonfly, Binance Labs, Bybit, and OKX among others.

Bitget Wallet Joins Japan Blockchain Collaborative Consortium BCCC
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, the leading self-custodial crypto wallet for everyday finance, has joined the Blockchain Collaborative Consortium (BCCC), Japan’s largest blockchain industry consortium, as the country enters a new phase of digital asset regulation. The membership brings Bitget Wallet, a global self-custodial wallet serving more than 100 million users, into Japan’s industry policy discussions for the first time, while regulators and market participants are increasingly examining how services that let users directly control their own assets should be treated.
Founded in 2016, BCCC was Japan’s first blockchain industry association and brings together more than 270 companies and organizations across the country’s blockchain ecosystem. Its committees cover areas including technology, financial services, DeFi and stablecoins, providing a forum for industry participants to develop use cases, discuss regulatory issues and engage with policymakers.
The move comes as Japan refines its regulatory framework for crypto services. New rules covering cryptocurrency service intermediaries took effect in June 2026, bringing renewed attention to the distinction between custodial platforms, which hold assets on users’ behalf, and self-custodial platforms, where users retain control of their private keys. Through BCCC, Bitget Wallet plans to contribute operational experience from supporting users across global markets and integrations with more than 130 blockchains, while participating in discussions around wallet standards, DeFi regulation and consumer understanding of self-custody.
“Japan is one of the few markets where technology development and regulatory clarity are advancing in parallel,” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. “As self-custody becomes part of the formal policy discussion, the industry needs standards that protect users without losing sight of how these products actually work. We want to bring practical experience from global markets into that conversation and help build frameworks that are useful for users and workable for the industry.”
For more information, visit the Bitget Wallet website.
