Ethena said an ongoing security incident involving a specific Ethereum node operator is not expected to affect its protocol, with founder Guy Young stating that USDe reserve assets have no direct exposure to stETH or other liquid staking tokens. Ethereum restaking protocol ether.fi separately said the incident did not affect weETH, which had no exposure, and that no funds were compromised. Neither Ethena nor ether.fi identified the operator or disclosed further incident details, while Ethena's statement was published on X.
