Maple Co-Founder Flanagan Exits Over Strategy Split

Maple co-founder Joe Flanagan is leaving the institutional lending protocol following a disagreement over strategy, and will support a handover through year-end. Maple framed the split as an agreed transition and said its direction remains unchanged. The departure removes a founding voice from a protocol whose core business is on-chain lending to institutions. Watch for clarity on Flanagan's replacement and any shift in Maple's lending priorities during the transition.
