PANews reported on November 15th that Hourglass tweeted that Phase 2 of the Stable Vault has concluded. Over 10,000 verified wallets contributed over $1.1 billion in eligible deposits. Phase 2 allocation was pro rata, based on eligible deposits, with a guaranteed minimum allocation of $1,000 to prevent dilution of funds from smaller participants by larger depositors. For each eligible deposit, the first $1,000 was allocated 100%; amounts exceeding $1,000 were allocated pro rata.
Based on approximately $1.1 billion in eligible deposits and $500 million in deployment capacity, the final allocation for amounts exceeding the $1,000 minimum threshold is approximately 45%, with the remaining approximately 55% to be refunded. Refunds for the unallocated portion will be issued early next week. Users marked as ineligible can continue to withdraw funds at any time.
