Linear Finance shuts down following Binance delisting of LINA, financial struggles

Decentralized asset protocol Linear Finance has announced it will cease operations, citing prolonged financial difficulties and the impact of Binance delisting its native token. In a statement shared on X, the Linear Finance team explained that despite years of development, their project failed to generate sustainable revenue. The protocol saw a brief period of profitability following its 2019-2020 launch but struggled in subsequent years. The final blow came when Binance announced the delisting of LINA, effective March 28, 2025. This triggered a sharp 65% decline in the token’s market capitalization, reducing Linear Finance’s remaining operational runway. The project had been primarily funded through personal contributions from its founder and token liquidations, an unsustainable model that ultimately led to the decision to wind down operations. “Our Operations Team will be in touch shortly with clear timelines and step-by-step instructions for users with active positions across our dApps,” the announcement stated.
