The voting for the Gnosis DAO redemption proposal is fiercely contested, with whales reversing the co-founders' stance
Gnosis DAO is conducting a Snapshot vote proposing to allow GNO holders to proportionally acquire shares of the DAO treasury through a voluntary redemption mechanism. According to analyst Ignas, the treasury holds approximately $223 million in assets (including ETH, stablecoins, and ecosystem tokens), with about 1.3 million GNO eligible for redemption, each corresponding to about $170 in treasury value, while the current trading price of GNO is around $132, representing a discount of about 27%.
The vote reversed twice within 24 hours: after Gnosis co-founder Stefan George cast a dissenting vote, the situation briefly turned, but then a whale wallet holding 67,000 GNO cast a supporting vote, putting the supporters back in the lead. Currently, about 116,000 GNO are in favor (about 65%), 59,600 against, and 1,600 abstentions, surpassing the quorum threshold of 75,000 votes, with voting continuing until May 12.
Supporters believe that Gnosis Ltd. has become a funding black hole structurally misaligned with the interests of holders, while opponents warn that redemption will weaken projects with actual users such as Gnosis Pay, Circles, and Gnosis Chain, and may trigger a chain reaction for other DAOs trading below net asset value.
