+# MetaDAO: Engage in $50,000 OTC Trade with Ben Hawkins
+
+## Summary
+Ben Hawkins proposed to mint 1,500 META tokens to his wallet in exchange for sending $50,000 USDC to MetaDAO's treasury, valuing META at $33.33 per token. The proposal was rejected by the futarchy markets.

+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed
+- **Proposer:** Ben Hawkins
+- **Proposal Account:** US8j6iLf9GkokZbk89Bo1qnGBees5etv5sEfsfvCoZK

+
+## Significance
+This represents an early OTC treasury trade proposal on MetaDAO's futarchy platform. The market rejection suggests either unfavorable pricing ($33.33/META) or concerns about direct token minting for treasury funding. This proposal preceded a similar failed proposal with Pantera Capital, indicating MetaDAO's futarchy markets were actively filtering treasury deals during this period.
