- The investment signifies M2's commitment to integrating regulated finance with Web3 opportunities and advancing compliance standards in decentralized finance.
- Ethena Labs has achieved over $14 billion in total value locked since its launch, with sUSDe yields reported at 20-30% per annum.

M2 Capital has invested $20 million in Ethena Labs’ governance token ENA, a major step in connecting Middle Eastern investors with digital asset infrastructure. The firm, part of M2 Holdings, announced the move in a statement, saying it will combine regulated finance with Web3 opportunities.
This follows M2’s participation in SUI Group’s treasury efforts and positions the firm as a driver of institutional adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi). Executives said integrating ENA into its wealth management offerings means a dual commitment: advancing compliance standards while accessing digital asset growth.
Kim Wong, Managing Director and Head of Treasury at M2 Holdings, called it a benchmark for the region’s digital asset ecosystem. “By combining exclusive access with regulated frameworks, we are setting new standards for trust, security and long term value in the Middle East,” Wong said.

Ethena’s Growing Ecosystem
Ethena Labs is one of the most talked about DeFi projects of 2025. The platform’s dual asset model issues USDe, a synthetic dollar stabilized through delta-neutral hedging, and sUSDe, a yield bearing version distributing returns from derivatives and staking.
Since launch in early 2024, Ethena has seen over $14 billion in total value locked (TVL). Recent reports show sUSDe yields of 20-30% per annum. Binance also reported that deposits in its USDe Earn product exceeded $2 billion in just 4 days after launch, across both retail and institutional channels.
Institutional Momentum
M2 Capital’s investment adds to the growing institutional support for ENA. Earlier this month ArkStream Capital committed $10 million, bringing total institutional inflows to $15 million. Mega Matrix Inc. also filed a $2 billion universal shelf registration with the US SEC, to acquire governance tokens like ENA for treasury strategies.

ENA’s market cap is $4 billion, with daily trading volume of $375 million. To support institutional players the team recently launched iUSDe, a product designed to bridge traditional capital markets with DeFi.
Key highlights for ENA:
- $14B+ in TVL since launch
- 20-30% reported annualized yields on sUSDe* $4B market cap, $375M daily volume
- $2B in USDe Earn deposits in 4 days
M2 Capital is one of the first to show how Middle Eastern wealth managers are looking to play long term in digital asset infrastructure. For Ethena, this puts ENA at the heart of the DeFi to institutional pipeline.
