+# Ranger Finance Liquidation (March 2026)
+
+**Status:** Passed  
+**Vote Support:** 97%  
+**Trading Volume:** $581K  
+**Category:** Liquidation  
+**Date:** March 2026  
+
+## Summary
+
+MetaDAO governance voted to wind down Ranger Finance, pull liquidity, and return approximately 5M USDC to unlocked RNGR holders at roughly $0.78 book value. Intellectual property was returned to the founding team.
+
+## Outcome
+
+This is the second futarchy-governed liquidation after mtnCapital (September 2025), providing strong evidence that the "unruggable ICO" mechanism functions as designed. Investors used conditional markets to force a full treasury return when the team was not delivering on commitments.
+
+## Market Dynamics
+
+- **Support:** 97% approval
+- **Trading Volume:** $581K in conditional markets
+- **Book Value:** ~$0.78 per token
+- **Treasury Return:** ~5M USDC to unlocked holders
+
+## Significance
+
+As Rio noted: "This is what makes ownership coins different from every other token launch mechanism. The enforcement isn't social pressure or legal threats, it's a conditional market where anyone can express 'this project should return capital' and if enough informed money agrees, it happens automatically."
+
+Two liquidations in six months, both executed cleanly, demonstrates the mechanism has moved from theoretical to proven.
