+# MetaDAO: Engage in $50,000 OTC Trade with Ben Hawkins
+
+## Summary
+Ben Hawkins proposed an OTC trade where MetaDAO would mint 1,500 META tokens and send them to his address in exchange for $50,000 USDC to be deposited in MetaDAO's treasury. The proposal valued META at $33.33 per token. The proposal was rejected by the futarchy markets.

+## Significance
