The proposal aimed to hedge against USD devaluation and encourage other DAOs to adopt similar treasury strategies using MetaDAO's futarchy governance. + +## Market Data +- **Outcome:** Failed +- **Proposer:** @Richard_ISC (ISC team) +- **Proposal Account:** Gp3ANMRTdGLPNeMGFUrzVFaodouwJSEXHbg5rFUi9roJ +- **Execution Plan:** DCA order on Jupiter (10 orders over 10 hours, 1.7-1.9 price range) + +## Significance +This proposal represents an early test case of futarchy-governed treasury diversification beyond standard stablecoins. The failure suggests MetaDAO token holders were skeptical of either ISC's risk profile (nascent asset, smaller market presence) or the strategic value of the diversification.
