Helping DAOs Diversify and Grow Their Treasuriesđ°
Many DAOs have treasuries are composed almost entirely of their native tokens. Â On some level, this makes sense. The community rallies around the project with a belief that the native token will appreciate over time. But should the native token be the only holding in a DAO treasury? Index Coop is partnering with DAOs and protocols to help reduce risk and diversify their treasuries. With a range of lower-risk yield-bearing products like icETH, crypto organizations can be a more stable financial foundation to fund ongoing operations and grow their treasuries. DAOs that choose to diversify their treasuries are better positioned to ensure their runway and long-term sustainability no matter what future market conditions arise.
