DeFi protocol Ethena released its 2025 roadmap "Convergence", and Ethena's next growth will be driven mainly by exporting products to traditional finance. Ethena will launch a new product "iUSDe" next month, which aims to be able to export sUSDe to traditional finance in a regulated form. The same as sUSDe, but with the addition of a simple wrapper contract, some transfer restrictions are added at the token level so that traditional financial entities can hold and use it.

Ethena will announce iUSDe's initial TradFi distribution partners this month.

In this article on the history of Bitcoin, we look back to 2013 to explore the short-lived "Bitcoin News Center" on the Bitcoin.org website. At the time, a proposal was made to list a list of people on the News Center page, which could become a quasi-official list of Bitcoin media contacts. We examine the inevitable debate over who should and who should not be on the list, and how the list is intrinsically linked to the broader battle over Bitcoin culture. Should Bitcoin remain an underground rebel currency, or should it go mainstream and appeal to the moderate masses?
