UAE's M2 Capital invests $20 million in Ethena to promote digital asset development in the Middle East

ChainCatcher reported that M2 Capital Limited, the investment arm of UAE-based M2 Holdings, has invested $20 million in Ethena's governance token ENA. This move highlights the group's efforts to build new digital asset infrastructure in the Middle East and to play a larger role in global finance.

Ethena is best known for its crypto-native synthetic dollar USDe and its yield-generating version sUSDe. Both are collateralized by crypto assets and use hedging strategies to reduce volatility. Since its launch in 2024, the protocol has attracted over $14 billion in deposits, reflecting strong market demand for products that combine stablecoin features with yield potential. M2 Holdings' affiliated company M2 Global Wealth will include Ethena in its wealth management product portfolio. The group stated that this provides clients with a regulated way to access returns from emerging digital assets.
