ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, two senior figures in the U.S. anti-inflation protection and foreign exchange derivatives sectors have launched the dollar stablecoin USDi, whose value is determined by the growth of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) since December 2024. As of April 15, its value is $1.00863.According to Michael Ashton, who began his anti-inflation investment career at Barclays in the early 2000s, USDi is equivalent to the principal of TIPS, or theoretically similar to an inflation-protected savings account (if one existed). Ashton stated, "There is currently no true risk-free asset, that is, inflation-protected cash. Holding cash is an option on future opportunities, and the cost of that option is inflation. If inflation-protected cash is created, that is the endpoint of the risk line."According to a statement from USDi Partners LLC, the token will have the same purchasing power as the dollar in December 2024. USDi will mint and burn tokens at its stated value, which, like the principal of TIPS, will depend on the CPI of the day.Although the government only releases the CPI once a month, it interpolates daily values for TIPS investors to calculate accrued interest. The CPI value determines the index value of TIPS and USDi with a two-month lag, meaning the CPI for December corresponds to March 1, with data published up to May 31. The value of USDi on April 15 is calculated by dividing the CPI of that day (interpolated between the monthly values of January and February) by the CPI of December, which will always be the denominator in the formula.USDi will be backed by a reserve fund managed by Ashton, who has been managing the Enduring US Inflation Tracking Fund for qualified investors since October 2021. The fund holds assets such as TIPS.
