Linera is ceasing operations immediately after failing to secure enough funding to continue. Its LNRA community sale closed below the 1.5 million $USDC minimum, triggering full refunds. The Layer 1 project had previously raised $12 million from investors including a16z Crypto and Borderless Capital.

Linera is shutting down before reaching mainnet, bringing a four-year development effort to a halt despite $12 million in venture backing and a founder with roots in Meta’s blockchain research. Founder Mathieu Baudet announced the decision in Linera’s official Discord on September 18,…

Representative Bryan Steil, Chair of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, argued the core obstacle facing the Clarity Act isn’t disagreement over the policy itself, it’s a structural difference between how the House and Senate operate. Why the House Moved Faster Steil explained the House’s majority rule structure lets leadership call a vote once consensus is built, “and then the chips fall where they are.” The Senate has no equivalent mechanism, requiring 60 votes just to bring the bill up for debate. “The challenge on the Senate side… is that ability to call the vote that the majority…

Nesa’s $NES token returned to trading on Binance Alpha and regained Ethereum funding on Kraken on Sept. 10 after venue-specific interruptions tied to an Aug. 24 token-contract security incident. The restorations are not a network-wide relaunch or a single recovery plan. Binance Alpha is using two snapshots to separate eligible 1:1 swaps from refunds on its platform. Kraken said $NES covered by its funding incident would migrate 1:1 to a new Ethereum contract, while $BNB-chain funding would remain disabled. That distinction matters beyond the two exchanges: neither notice gives a universal migration process for $NES held in a private wallet.…
