What Are ENA Perpetual Futures?

ENA perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives that let traders take long or short positions on Ethena (ENA) without owning the underlying token.

  • Long ENA Perpetual: Profit when ENA’s price rises.

  • Short ENA Perpetual: Profit when ENA’s price falls.

Unlike traditional dated futures, ENA perpetuals never expire. Instead, they use hourly funding payments between long and short traders to maintain price alignment with ENA’s global spot market.

ENA Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s ENA funding rate ensures perpetual prices remain aligned with the ENA/USDC Index, derived from CoinGecko.

Funding Rate Formula:

F = P + clamp(I – P, +0.05%, –0.05%)

Where:

  • P (Premium Index): Difference between the market and index price.

  • I (Interest Rate): 0.01% per 8 hours (applied hourly).

  • Clamp: Limits funding changes to ±0.05% to maintain price stability.

Funding is applied hourly and affects only open positions at settlement. Traders who close positions before the funding timestamp avoid funding fees.

ENA/USDC Index Price Methodology

The ENA/USDC Index Price represents Ethena’s fair market value against USDC, using aggregated real-time data from multiple exchanges through CoinGecko’s composite feed.

📊 Reference Source: Ethena (ENA) on CoinGecko

Purpose of the Index

The index serves as the reference rate for ENA perpetual contracts, ensuring mark prices and liquidation levels reflect ENA’s true global market value. This prevents manipulation from individual exchanges and guarantees fair and consistent pricing for all traders.

Index Construction

CoinGecko’s composite index aggregates ENA/USDC (and equivalent) spot prices from multiple major exchanges, weighting each source by:

  • 24-hour trading volume and liquidity depth

  • Exchange reliability and uptime

  • Price stability relative to the global average

Outlier and stale data points are automatically excluded. PowerTrade integrates this verified CoinGecko feed to calculate accurate mark prices and funding rates.

Fallback Mechanism

If CoinGecko’s feed becomes temporarily unavailable, PowerTrade switches to an internal pre-market index using order-book bid/ask data from ENA perpetuals. This ensures uninterrupted pricing and fair liquidations even during data disruptions.


Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s mark price mechanism smooths volatility and ensures fair and accurate PnL and liquidation outcomes:

Mark Price = Index Price + EMA(Market Price – Index Price)
  • The EMA (Exponential Moving Average), calculated over 15 seconds, filters short-term noise and stabilizes prices.

  • This minimizes unfair liquidations and ensures consistent mark-to-market pricing.

PnL Formulas:

  • Long ENA: PnL = Position Size × (Mark Price – Entry Price)

  • Short ENA: PnL = Position Size × (Entry Price – Mark Price)

Liquidation Trigger: Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin

When triggered: 1️⃣ Open orders are canceled. 2️⃣ Positions close at market. 3️⃣ The insurance fund and auto-deleveraging (ADL) systems protect other traders and ensure platform stability.
