+# 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 failed after a 5-day voting period.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed
+- **Proposer:** Ben Hawkins
+- **Proposal Account:** US8j6iLf9GkokZbk89Bo1qnGBees5etv5sEfsfvCoZK
+- **Proposal Number:** 6
+- **Created:** 2024-02-13
+- **Ended:** 2024-02-18
+- **Price per META:** $33.33 USDC
+- **Total Value:** $50,000 USDC
+- **META to Mint:** 1,500
+
+## Significance
+This was an early OTC treasury deal proposal on MetaDAO's futarchy platform, testing whether the community would approve direct token sales to individual buyers. The failure suggests either the price point was unfavorable, the buyer was not strategically valuable, or the community preferred alternative treasury management approaches. This contrasts with the later Pantera Capital OTC proposal (also failed), indicating MetaDAO's futarchy governance was selective about treasury dilution even in early stages.

Created decision_market entity for the failed OTC trade proposal, updated MetaDAO timeline, and created minimal entity for Ben Hawkins as proposer. No mechanism insights or arguable propositions beyond the factual outcome. This is similar to the Pantera Capital OTC proposal (also failed), suggesting a pattern of MetaDAO rejecting early OTC treasury deals."
