As per this signal request thread, the USDC-A Debt Ceiling will be increased from 40 million to 100 million if this proposal passes. This is an expedited change triggered by the increased usage of the USDC-A vault type coupled with the recent peg deviation and as a result of advice provided by a senior risk contributor.
