Highlights
- Linear Finance announces plans to end operations amid financial struggles.
- The entity issued a 'Notice of Closure' on X this Thursday.
- Its native token, LINA, also witnessed a price crash amid broader developments.
DeFi protocol Linear Finance faced a severe setback this Thursday as the company announced plans to cease operations. In an official X post on March 27, the entity made a ‘Notice of Closure’ announcement. The protocol’s native token LINA also crashed hard, extending weekly losses to nearly 70% amid the project encountering turbulent waters.
Linear Finance Issues ‘Notice Of Closure,’ Here’s Why
In its recent X post, Linear Finance revealed that the tough decision to pull the plug is attributed to the firm’s financial struggles. Despite recurrent efforts to foster innovation and growth, the DeFi protocol has failed to generate sustainable returns.
As a direct response, the entity announced a ‘Notice of Closure,’ turning heads across the broader market. The announcement revealed that ‘outside of a brief period of profitability during its initial launch in 2019/20, the project has faced burgeoning financial challenges.’
DeFi Protocol Faces Setback As Functioning Model No Longer Available
Initially, the project was funded via a combination of personal contributions by the project owner and token liquidations. However, Linear Finance announced that this model is no longer feasible. In turn, the company announced plans to end the run.
Meanwhile, it’s also worth pointing out the recent setback presented by Binance. The cryptocurrency exchange giant earlier announced plans to delist the LINA token, adding to its struggles. The DeFi entity revealed that the delisting saga chronicle on one of the top crypto exchanges slammed 65% of the coin’s market cap.
Keeping in mind the abovementioned setbacks, a ‘Notice of Closure’ was issued. The project’s key stakeholders also made a collective decision to wind down operations.
LINA Price Crashes
As of press time, LINA price witnessed a 6% dip and exchanged hands at $0.0006215. The coin’s intraday low and high were $0.0006091 and $0.0009516, respectively.
Weekly and monthly charts for the token showcased a 67% and 72% crash, respectively. The bearish price movement comes primarily attributed to Binance’s delisting and Linear Finance pulling the plug on operations. Currently, crypto market participants continue to await further details on the matter.
