DeFi protocol Linear Finance announced that it will cease operations

On March 27th, according to official sources, DeFi protocol Linear Finance announced that it will cease operations. The project has been dedicated to innovation and development over the years, but has failed to achieve sustainable returns. Apart from a brief profit in early 2019/2020, Linear Finance has been facing increasing financial pressure. The project's funding mainly comes from personal contributions of the project owners and token liquidation, but this model is no longer viable. Binance has decided to delist the LINA token, exacerbating the project's financial difficulties, leading to a 65% decrease in market value and a significant reduction in remaining operating funds. Therefore, the main stakeholders of the project have collectively decided to end operations. The operating team will contact users with active positions as soon as possible and provide a detailed timetable and guidance.

  • Treasury May Utilize Nearly $1 Trillion in General Account for Bond Buyback Funding

    According to two senior Treasury officials, the U.S. Treasury may tap into nearly $1 trillion from the Treasury General Account (TGA) to support the recently announced expansion of the U.S. bond buyback program. Utilizing the TGA account would provide the Treasury with a powerful tool to influence long-term bond yields. Last week, the Treasury announced it would double the buyback scale for long-dated non-newly issued bonds from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, a move that surprised the market. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessenet indicated that the actual operational scale could even exceed this new minimum threshold. However, the Treasury did not specify the source of the buyback funds. Most market participants had previously anticipated that the Treasury would raise funds by issuing short-term Treasury bills, and the aforementioned Treasury officials did not rule out that option.
