+# MetaDAO: Engage in $50,000 OTC Trade with Ben Hawkins
+
+## Summary
+Ben Hawkins proposed to mint 1,500 META tokens to his address 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
+- **Proposal Number:** 6
+- **Created:** 2024-02-13
+- **Completed:** 2024-02-18
+- **Ended:** 2024-02-18
+- **Price:** $33.33 USDC per META
+- **Total Value:** $50,000 USDC
+- **Tokens Requested:** 1,500 META
+
+## Significance
+This proposal represents an early test of MetaDAO's OTC trading mechanism for treasury fundraising. The market rejection suggests either unfavorable pricing, insufficient liquidity needs, or concerns about the specific terms. This is proposal #6 in MetaDAO's governance history and follows the same OTC pattern as other treasury proposals during this period.
