Sushi DAO, the organization governing the Sushi Swap decentralized exchange, has proposed diversifying its treasury assets. Under the proposal, Sushi’s treasury will go from 100% SUSHI tokens to a mix of stablecoins and other assets.

This non-binding proposal will seek community feedback from the DAO, especially on specific variables, before an official vote.

SUSHI Tokens Could Face Liquidation

This proposal comes from Jared Grey, the “Head Chef” at Sushi. He plans to sell all of the exchange’s SUSHI tokens and use the proceeds to acquire new assets. Gery claims that this operation would reduce the platform’s volatility risks, enhance liquidity, and generate higher returns.

“As the Sushi DAO continues to evolve, it is crucial to ensure the sustainability and growth of our treasury. The DAO ultimately holds its treasury in SUSHI tokens, which exposes it to high volatility and liquidity challenges. This proposal outlines a strategy for diversifying the treasury assets to mitigate risks and enhance long-term stability,” Grey stated.

Although this token was initially created for governance, the DAO operates under different rules today. A governance vote will decide the proposal’s success or failure.

If implemented, all these tokens will gradually sold, and the proceeds will acquire a new treasury: 70% stablecoins, 20% “blue chip” cryptoassets (BTC, ETH), and possibly 10% other DeFi tokens.

The proposal also specifies that any remaining emergency fund will consist of stablecoins. These assets will also cover future strategic investments and operational expenses of Sushi Swap.
