In a rare bout of professionalism and solidarity, the company will be refunding their investors, distributing just under 27,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">ETH<\/a> on a pro-rata basis.<\/p>\n<h2>Korean content exchange protocol shutting down after 14 months<\/h2>\n<p>A Korean company behind the premium decentralized content exchange Contents Protocol has <a href=\"https:\/\/contentsprotocol.io\/\">announced<\/a> that it will be shutting down. The young startup, which raised $10 million in ETH in its December 2018 token sale, has been around less than 14 months.<\/p>\n<p>The project was created to collect consumer data from Korean content platforms such as WATCHA and WATCHA PLAY in order to create a better content production ecosystem. The company rewarded the platforms and their users for the collected data with its native cryptocurrency, the Contents Protocol token (CPT), which would later be processed to be sold to other content providers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the company's ambitious idea hit a brick wall shortly after its ICO ended as it became increasingly hard to encourage participation from content consumers. Contents Protocol said that the negative perception toward cryptocurrency, price volatility, and complicated user experience were the biggest problems it faced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In order to overcome these limitations, the team went through numerous trials and errors, but after serious deliberation, we decided that it would be best to put a stop to this business and return our remaining assets to CPT holders,&#8221; the company said in the announcement.<\/p>\n<h2>Rarely a crypto company willingly refunds investors<\/h2>\n<p>After advising with law firms from both Korea and Singapore, the company decided that all of its<\/p>\n<p>remaining assets will be distributed to its users. The company raised a total of 29,333.77 ETH through the ICO and currently has 26,877.68 ETH available for distribution. As the current circulating supply of CPT is just under 3.2 billion tokens, investors will get around 0.84 ETH for 100,000 CPT.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 791px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/_tFvIyEH6PNbvwaAvDvVhdOJcpYPkXC828t-S6GD-FLWYRfak_TBleteo8Lwg4FGpCcc3Be-ZrqAseX2Rf_Px9GfToPvxH7Lo5C37U8KgC806kk1acnxrUc-E498YOwLmufvYp9N\" alt=\"Table showing the asset distribution ratio for Contents Protocol's funds\" width=\"791\" height=\"267\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Table showing the asset distribution ratio for Contents Protocol's funds.
