Analyseübersicht
USDtb is an institutional-grade stablecoin launched by Ethena Labs on December 15, 2024, backed by over $1.11 billion in BlackRock's BUIDL tokenized money market fund (90%+ allocation) and supplemented with $324 million in USDC reserves. As of December 2025, USDtb maintains a market capitalization of $850.85 million to $1.46 billion with instantaneous redemption capacity exceeding 100%. Unlike Ethena's synthetic dollar USDe, USDtb operates as a fully reserve-backed stablecoin with 1:1 dollar peg through BNY Mellon custody. The stablecoin transitioned to Anchorage Digital Bank custody in October 2025, positioning for US GENIUS Act compliance, and is available cross-chain on Ethereum, Base, Solana, and Arbitrum via LayerZero integration.
Wettbewerbsposition
USDtb occupies a unique position as the highest BlackRock BUIDL-allocated stablecoin with $1.11 billion reserves, differentiating it from USDC ($316 billion market) and USDT which rely on direct Treasury holdings. The October 2025 Anchorage Digital custody transition positions USDtb as the primary GENIUS Act-compliant option versus PayPal USD and regulated alternatives. Within Ethena's $9.5 billion TVL ecosystem generating $130 million annual protocol fees, USDtb serves dual purposes as institutional on-ramp and USDe backing asset during negative funding periods. Market makers including Jump and Wintermute provide deep liquidity, while LayerZero integration enables cross-chain composability without bridge vulnerabilities that plague multi-chain competitors.
Fazit
USDtb represents the convergence of institutional asset management through BlackRock BUIDL backing and DeFi infrastructure via Ethena's established ecosystem. The October 2025 Anchorage Digital custody transition creates the clearest regulatory path to US federal compliance under the GENIUS Act among major stablecoins. For institutions requiring regulated dollar exposure with tokenized Treasury yield and 24/7 on-chain liquidity, USDtb offers compelling utility despite its limited one-year operational track record. The December 2025 market cap volatility underscores early-stage adoption risks, but institutional partnerships and cross-chain availability position USDtb for growth as stablecoin regulations mature in 2025.
