GIC is a neutral global digital reference currency, providing a stable unit of account across national currencies. It addresses volatility and fragmentation in international trade and CBDC valuations.
GIC is calculated from a weighted aggregation of up to 180 national currencies. The calculation uses real-time exchange rates in a transparent, auditable algorithm updated continuously.
No, GIC is a reference layer. It does not replace any national currency. Its purpose is to provide a neutral, stable benchmark for valuation.
Governance is multi-institutional, including participating central banks and monetary authorities that oversee methodology, weights, and risk.
Investors primarily use GIC as a benchmark or reference. Direct trading is institutionally governed; the benefit is stable and transparent valuation.
GIC updates in real-time based on global FX market data, ensuring accurate and up-to-date valuation for all participating institutions.
Weights are determined based on economic size, trade volume, and liquidity, with oversight from the governance board to ensure neutrality and stability.
Diversification of the currency basket, governance oversight, and real-time calculation minimize volatility and maintain neutrality.
Central banks, multinational corporations, and financial institutions participate in pilot programs and governance committees to ensure adoption.
GIC provides a neutral reference point for CBDCs, allowing consistent cross-border valuation and trade settlement.
Adoption is phased: pilot programs, regulatory alignment, institution-first integration, and eventual global reference usage.
GIC aims to become the global monetary reference layer, providing neutrality, transparency, and stability for international finance in a multipolar world.
