bit confusingly worded statement since it involves locked tokens but if I understand it right stablecoin x raised $360 mil, is paying ethena labs $260 mil for locked tokens. then ethena labs is going to market buy $260 mil, roughly $5 mil a day for the next 6 weeks, not bad

StablecoinX Inc. @stablecoin_x has announced a $360 million capital raise to purchase $ENA and will seek to list its Class A common shares on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "USDE", which includes a $60 million contribution of ENA from the Ethena Foundation Equity markets will now have direct access and exposure to the most important emerging trend in all of finance: The growth of digital dollars and stablecoins. To bootstrap its acquisition strategy, StablecoinX Inc. will use all of the $260 million cash proceeds from the raise (less amounts for certain expenses) to buy locked ENA from a subsidiary of the Ethena Foundation. Starting today, the Ethena Foundation subsidiary (via third-party market makers) will use 100% of the $260 million cash proceeds from the token sale to strategically purchase $ENA across publicly traded venues over the coming weeks, further aligning the Foundation’s incentives with those of StableCoinX shareholders. The planned deployment schedule is approximately $5m daily from today over the course of the next 6 weeks. At current prices $260m represents roughly 8% of circulating supply. Importantly, the Ethena Foundation has the right to veto any sales of $ENA by StableCoinX at its sole discretion. Ideally, tokens will never be sold with a sole focus on accumulation. To the extent StableCoinX subsequently raises capital with the intent of purchasing additional locked ENA from the Ethena Foundation or its affiliates, cash proceeds from those token sales are planned to be used to purchase spot $ENA. StableCoinX's treasury strategy is a deliberate, multi‑year capital allocation strategy that will enables StableCoinX to capture the enormous value of the secular surge in demand for digital dollars while compounding ENA per share to the benefit of shareholders.
now that most of the move has been retraced, I'm going to start adding to my position and assume the $5 mil per day twap does its job being a bit careful with general alt shakiness, but I like that it'll be opening up another way for tradfi to speculate on stables
