Ethena Labs and Germany’s BaFin agreed on a 42-day USDe redemption plan, marking the end of a months-long regulatory dispute.
Ethena Labs announced on Wednesday that the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, BaFin, and Ethena GmbH, the company’s German arm, have agreed on a redemption plan for USDe stablecoin holders.
The regulator said it had initiated a 42-day redemption process for stablecoin holders. BaFin said USDe holders will have until Aug. 6 to declare redemption claims directly against Ethena GmbH. The process will be supervised by a special representative appointed by BaFin.
After the deadline, Ethena GmbH will be deemed officially wound up within Germany, the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). This means that any claims from Aug. 7 onward should be made through the company’s offshore affiliate, Ethena (BVI) Ltd.
