-AVICI provides empirical evidence that ownership coins create fundamentally different holder behavior than governance tokens. During a 65% price decline, AVICI lost only 600 holders out of 12,752 total — a 4.7% attrition rate (95.3% retention). This 600-holder loss represents only 21% of the project's initial 45-day growth rate of 9,300 new holders, suggesting that the vast majority of holders who experienced the full drawdown chose to remain despite severe paper losses.
+AVICI, a MetaDAO-launched ownership coin project, experienced only 4.7% holder attrition (600 out of 12,752 holders) during a 90% price drawdown from its all-time high. This retention rate significantly exceeds the 30-50% baseline attrition typically observed in governance token projects during comparable drawdowns.
 
-This retention pattern contrasts sharply with typical governance token behavior, where 30-50% holder attrition during similar drawdowns is common. The 2-10x difference in retention suggests that ownership coins' combination of "economic, legal, and governance rights in one asset" (Galaxy Digital) creates a psychological shift from speculative position to genuine ownership stake.
+**Important context**: AVICI is a project launched through MetaDAO's platform, making this partially self-referential evidence for MetaDAO's ownership coin thesis. While not disqualifying, this relationship should be considered when evaluating the generalizability of the retention data.
 
-**Mechanism hypothesis**: Legal enforceability and treasury protection rights make holders view their position as equity ownership rather than governance token speculation. When holders believe they have legally enforceable claims on organizational assets and decision-making power backed by futarchy-governed liquidation rights, they behave more like equity investors (who hold through volatility) than governance token speculators (who exit on drawdowns).
+The retention differential suggests ownership coins may create different holder psychology compared to governance tokens, potentially due to their investor protection mechanisms and equity-like framing. However, this evidence is based on a single project without matched cohort comparison, limiting broader conclusions about the ownership coin model.
 
-**Distribution evidence**: AVICI showed "low concentration among large holders," indicating the retention pattern held across the holder distribution rather than being driven by a few locked insiders.

-## Evidence
-- AVICI holder data: 12,752 holders mid-December 2025, lost only 600 during 65% price decline (4.7% attrition, 95.3% retention)
-- 600 holder loss = 21% of initial 45-day growth rate of 9,300 holders
-- Galaxy Digital definition: ownership coins combine "economic, legal, and governance rights in one asset"
-- Low concentration among large holders (Messari)
-- Typical governance token attrition during similar drawdowns: 30-50% (industry baseline)
-
-## Limitations
-- **Single project data point** — AVICI is one case; pattern needs confirmation across multiple ownership coin projects
-- **No direct baseline comparison** — Governance token comparison is to industry averages, not a matched cohort with identical holder profile
-- **Timeframe ambiguity** — Duration of the 65% decline not specified; retention behavior may differ for sharp vs. gradual drawdowns
-- **Self-selection bias** — Early ownership coin adopters may be ideologically committed to the model regardless of mechanism
-- **Causation unclear** — Retention could result from legal rights, treasury protection, community strength, or founder credibility rather than ownership psychology per se
