PricingSnapshotISSUER FEES: NIL, STATED. USDe Terms and Conditions (https://docs.ethena.fi/resources/usde-terms-and-conditions.md, "Last Updated: August 2025", fetched 29 September 2026), section 12 "Fees; Authorization": "Except as disclosed to you prior to completing a transaction as a Mint User, Ethena BVI will not charge you any fees for tokenizing assets for USDe, or receiving USDe. Any cost of executing a mint or redemption transaction is a cost reimbursement to cover friction such as blockchain gas fees or execution fees paid by Ethena BVI." USDe Mint User Agreement (https://docs.ethena.fi/resources/usde-mint-user-agreement.md, "Last Updated: August 2025", fetched 29 September 2026), section 9 "Fees": "The Company may charge fees in connection with the Services, which will typically not represent fees for the Company’s own account and will constitute reimbursements for costs associated with transactions initiated by you, such as blockchain gas fees and execution fees." and "The applicable Digital Currency network may charge a fee in connection with blockchain transactions. You are responsible for all such fees." MINIMUMS: THE PAGES ARE SILENT. Neither binding document publishes a mint or redemption minimum; re-searched 29 September 2026, "minimum" still appears exactly once in each document, in both cases as severability boilerplate. What replaces a published minimum is a published discretion, Mint User Agreement section 12 "Transaction Limits": "The Company reserves the right to change the mint, redemption, transfer, and velocity limits as we deem necessary." and "We may establish individual or aggregate transaction limits on the size or number of mints, redemptions, transfers or other transactions that you initiate using your status as a Mint User during any specified time period." Unlike Tether, which publishes a 100,000 USD floor and a redemption fee a reader can price, Ethena publishes no number at all — access is gated by whitelisting, not by a posted ticket size. CONVERSION RATE ON THE WAY IN, Terms section 13 "Currency Conversion": "All tokenizations of assets will be credited in USDe to your whitelisted wallet(s) based on a rate of one (1) USDe per 1 USD ($1) of notional value", with that value set as follows: "Such value shall be calculated by Ethena BVI based on the asset in its sole discretion". NOTE FOR THE CARD: a zero issuer fee is not a cheap product here — it is a fee schedule for a counterparty class the retail reader cannot join (Terms section 2: "If you are a Holding User, you do not have a right to redeem USDe with Ethena BVI."). The retail cost of entry and exit is the market spread, which this spec grades at zero.NO BINDING DOCUMENT PRICES MINT OR REDEMPTION. The FraxNet Terms of Service, https://net.frax.com/terms (fetched 29 September 2026; the page's "Last updated" line renders the fetch date, and the extracted text is the same 16,771 characters as in August), contain 0 occurrences of "redeem", "redemption", "minimum" and "frxUSD", and no fee table of any kind. PUBLISHED FEES — Frax documentation, https://docs.frax.com/frxusd/fiat-onramp-offramp (fetched 29 September 2026), whose "Fees" section lists exactly two items: Exchange Fee, "May be applied by Bridge.xyz during currency conversion"; RWA Liquidation Fee, "A 1 BPS conversion fee may apply if real-world assets (RWAs) are being liquidated to meet cash redemptions". Both are conditional and the exchange leg is unquantified. The same page gates the fiat route: "All users must complete Persona KYC/KYB and Bridge.xyz verification", and the only supported account types are "U.S. checking accounts" and "U.S. savings accounts". ON-CHAIN FEES AND CAPACITY (label: eth_call reads at Ethereum blocks 26,082,253-26,082,262, not page prices): the permissionless USDC route 0x4F95C5bA0C7c69FB2f9340E190cCeE890B3bd87c still returns mintFee() = 0 and redeemFee() = 0, but holds 0 USDC (totalAssets() = 0; it held 1,385,323.315876 USDC on 19 August 2026), so it cannot pay out today; the RWA routes USTB 0x5fbAa3A3B489199338fbD85F7E3D444dc0504F33, BUIDL 0xe827abf9f462ac4f147753d86bc5f91e186e4e9c and WTGXX 0x860Cc723935FC9A15fF8b1A94237a711DFeF7857 return mintFee() = 0 and redeemFee() = 1e14, i.e. 1 basis point, and require addresses "onboarded to hold BUIDL, USTB, or WTGXX" (https://docs.frax.com/frxusd/mint-and-redeem-routes); the USDB route 0xFE2Ea8dE262d956e852F12DE108fda57171a0a29 is fee-free and holds 1.538966 USDB; an AUSD route 0x537bed9200fc5a14ab56e554016753676eff12b0, added as a minter at block 25,832,426 and not listed on the routes page, charges a 1e14 (1 basis point) redeemFee and holds 35,696.844801 AUSD. frxUSD totalSupply() = 93,369,845.27. NOT A PRICE: https://docs.frax.com/frxusd still advertises "Earn 4.1% APY from Treasury yields (subject to treasury backing performance)" — the sfrxUSD/FraxNet savings product, which this page does not score.
