Delta-Neutral

A portfolio or strategy with no net directional exposure to an asset's price movements — gains from price increases in one leg are offset by losses in another. In DeFi, Ethena's USDe maintains delta-neutrality by holding staked ETH (long) while shorting ETH futures of equal notional value. The result is a stablecoin-like position that earns yield without ETH price risk.
