Cardano holders are being asked to bet $5 million on copper hitting a new record

Cardano’s community treasury is being asked to spend about $5 million on a copper reserve whose costs would leave the metal needing to rise nearly 50% just to recover the original investment under the proposal’s assumptions. Toto Finance , a company that turns physical commodities into blockchain tokens, wants 22 million ADA for what it calls the Cardano Strategic Copper Reserve. Voting closes Nov. 15. About two-thirds of the money would buy exchange-grade copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse near New Orleans. A token called CuTT would represent each verified pound.
