Algofi will enter withdrawal-only mode as it gradually reduces collateral factors to facilitate liquidity migration to other platforms.
Algorand's largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, Algofi, revealed its decision to cease operations.
Citing a "confluence of events" that prevent it from maintaining the highest standards, Algofi will soon transition into withdrawal-only mode. The winding down process is expected to span several months, during which the Algofi team will gradually reduce the collateral factors of the digital asset markets on its platform. This measure aims to facilitate the migration of liquidity to alternative protocols.
Algofi is an Algorand blockchain-based lending protocol that enables users to earn interest, borrow funds, and conduct swaps with their ALGO tokens. As part of the shutdown, Algofi will disable all its social media accounts, except for its Discord channel, to ensure necessary communication channels remain open.
Shortly after the news broke, the total value of assets locked (TVL) on the Algorand network experienced a notable decline, plummeting by over 5%, according to Defillama. Similarly, the TVL on Algofi suffered a significant drop of over 20%.
It is worth recalling that in April, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) classified ALGO and five other tokens as securities, charging the crypto asset trading platform Bittrex for operating an unregistered national securities exchange.
Since the SEC's enforcement action against Bittrex, the value of ALGO has experienced a decline of more than 50%. $ALGO is currently trading at $0.1081, down 2.44% in 24 hours.
