The co-founder of the Solana ecosystem DeFi project Ranger Finance, cobra (@barrett_io), posted on the X platform that Ranger Finance is gradually shutting down. The project took on business beyond its sustainable capacity, and the founder invested personal funds to maintain operations, but delays in financing led to the accumulation of bills. Ultimately, the financing was unsuccessful, and the raised funds were returned.The team is trying to fairly pay employees and suppliers with the remaining two months of operating funds, but it is insufficient to cover all expenses. The treasury liquidation was unexpected and severely impacted budget decisions. Subsequently, the Drift attack incident depleted the remaining funds and personal capital. Treasury users affected by the Drift attack will receive recovery tokens when distributed by the Drift team. The founder stated that in hindsight, the project should have been shut down earlier and apologized for this.

According to Bloomberg, the UK Treasury and the Bank of England are discussing slowing down the progress of the "Britcoin" digital pound project, with the "advance or halt" decision originally scheduled for this summer possibly being changed to a temporary pause.Sources say that regulators want to first observe the progress of banks in areas such as tokenized deposits, as these private innovations may achieve some similar rapid low-cost payment functions to CBDCs or stablecoins within the existing regulatory framework. The digital pound is currently nearing the end of its design phase, but it faces public, parliamentary, and some officials' doubts regarding privacy, necessity, and its impact on the commercial banking system. Internal research from the Bank of England also shows that as digital payment methods improve, the marginal benefits of launching a retail CBDC are declining.
