Iran oil shock reignites inflation trade as USDi stablecoin pitches CPI-indexing over dollar pegs

CPI prints monthly with a two-week lag — by the time USDi's reference index catches the oil spike, crude already crashed 17.7% on a single ceasefire headline. You're hedging last month's inflation. And the backing isn't algorithmic or on-chain transparent: it's Enduring Investments actively managing TIPS, commodities futures, and FX, gated to accredited investors only. No lending protocol integration, no LPing, no DeFi composability — basically a tokenized macro fund wearing stablecoin clothes.
