Ethena's USDe exit near $1 depends on pool liquidity behind 51.2% of its backing
LlamaRisk's October 12 snapshot places 51.2% of Ethena's USDe backing in DeFi and institutional lending. The allocation figure does not measure actual borrower drawdowns, so a holder's exit near $1 turns on pool liquidity and whitelisted redemption rights.

Ceffu moved $120M out of Ethena's custody wallets, and nobody has said why
The transfer is about 2.7% of USDe supply, so size is not the story. The story is that the two parties able to explain a custody event have both said nothing.
