Parrot Finance Phases Out PRT Token Through Redemption Program
Activist investors have successfully pushed for a redemption program to phase out Parrot Finance’s PRT token. The Solana-based DeFi protocol plans to buy back PRT tokens at a price of $0.0045 each via a stablecoin market on the OpenBook decentralized exchange. Here are the key points:
- Redemption program: Parrot Finance will initiate an eight-week redemption period, starting with the buyback of PRT tokens. The program aims to return a portion of Parrot’s treasury, valued at over $70 million, to token holders.
- Community vote: The redemption program was approved by a resounding 99% majority in a community vote. However, some small-time investors expressed dissatisfaction with the developer team for retaining a significant portion of the treasury.
- Recovery for investors: Original investors can expect to recover approximately 10% of their initial investment, while activist investors who pushed for the program could potentially make significant profits, depending on their entry point.
- Underwhelming performance: Despite raising over $90 million from retail and venture investors, Parrot Finance has struggled to gain traction on the Solana blockchain over the past two years.
- Current token price: At the time of writing, the PRT token was trading slightly below its intended buyback price at $0.004376.
