Today, yields are still below that threshold.

So the real question isn’t how much 
$ENA
 gets bought back.

It’s what gets ENA's yields sustainably above 6%."

 is not just the yield.

In the latest episode, Guy Young explained what he thinks actually gives Ethena an edge in the neo bank race.

A higher APY or cashback rate can always be beaten.

The real advantage is structural:
