The fund consists of CKB, so at some point is has to be sold to pay the grant.
Even if the DAO did a big OTC sale to limit the price impact, you’ve then got someone out there with a heap of CKB they could dump, so you’re actually even worse off.
The DAO grants aren’t going to be huge amounts so I doubt there will ever be any real impact to the price from any selling anyway.
But the main reason I think this isn’t a good idea is that we are at an almost ATL price, this is not the time you would do something like this. When we’re at ATH again, then this could be something to consider.
Ecosystem fund is CKB, the goal is spreading ownership of CKB as far as possible.
Additionally, there’s nothing to say a grant recipient is required to liquidate CKB, on the contrary they are incentivized to hold onto as much CKB as possible.
