Truflation Launches Hedge Index to Safeguard Investments Against Inflation with Real-World Asset Tracking

Real-time financial data provider Truflation launched its Hedge Index for tracking Real World Assets (RWA), providing a benchmark of aggregate RWA performance over time.

The Truflation Hedge Index is an investment index selected to reduce the potential for loss from inflation given the rise in the cost of goods and services. The strategy works as an insurance policy, offsetting any losses from other investments and inflation.

The index tracks price movements of 5 core asset classes, including equities, precious metals, commodities, and currencies. The weights are as follows: Gold (25%), Silver (20%), WTI Crude Oil (20%), S&P 500 (25%), and BTC (10%). The index value fluctuates throughout the day based on the underlying constituents' movements, calculated using the price movements based on the weighting contribution of each component.

"The Truflation Hedge Index is a game-changer for investors seeking to protect their portfolios against inflation. By leveraging real-time data and diversifying across core asset classes, we provide a powerful tool that not only tracks but also mitigates the impact of inflation on investments. This index is designed to empower both traditional and decentralized finance platforms with the insights they need to make informed decisions in a rapidly changing economic landscape." says CEO, Stefan Rust.

In addition to TradFi, the RWA Hedge Index supports DeFi protocols focused on RWA tokenization. This includes products developed by Nuon Finance, Frax Finance, and Overlay Protocol. By tracking the performance of RWAs over time, Truflation’s Hedge Index makes it easier to gauge the value of these assets in serving as a hedge to dollar-based investments. Truflation’s decentralized data feeds, indexes, and oracles are used by DeFi apps to obtain accurate pricing for a broad range of real world assets. Through the 65 data partners it has integrated, Truflation tracks over 18M items, giving on-chain protocols a reliable source of real-time data.

In addition to tracking RWAs, Truflation provides dedicated dashboards for calculating inflation in countries such as the US, UK, and Argentina. This marks another step forward in advancing the measurement and bringing data on chain. By introducing alternative metrics that address the limitations of traditional indices, which hold the potential to enhance decision-making processes for individuals, businesses, and policymakers, contributing to a more informed and resilient economy.
