Toto Finance seeks 22 million ADA from Cardano treasury for copper reserve
CoinDesk reported that Toto Finance asked Cardano's community treasury for 22 million ADA, about 5 million dollars, to fund a tokenized copper reserve, with voting closing on the fifteenth of November. The proposal assumes copper bought at 6.73 dollars a pound would need to rise about 49.4% to recover the withdrawal, and Toto founder Monty Metzger told CoinDesk the company takes no profit from the proposal.
Only one publisher so far. Another independent outlet or an official source would raise it.

Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- CoinDesk reported that Toto Finance wants 22 million ADA, about 5 million dollars, to buy exchange-grade copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse near New Orleans, with a token called CuTT representing each verified pound.
- Toto founder and chairman Monty Metzger told CoinDesk that copper would need to rise about 49.4% to recover the withdrawal if the full budget is spent and ADA's dollar price stays unchanged, and that Toto takes no profit from the proposal.
- CoinDesk reported that the budget allocates 2.64 million ADA to Toto for technology and project management plus a 441,732 ADA execution fee, with up to 278,291 ADA more possible through a margin on storage and insurance invoices.
Still unresolved
- Whether Cardano's treasury holders will approve the 22 million ADA withdrawal, to be settled by the governance vote closing on the fifteenth of November.
- Whether the collateral agent and first-priority security arrangements that Metzger said would protect the treasury are finalized, since he did not name the agent.
