USAF is an SEC-registered ETF that holds the assets anchoring the American economy: U.S. Treasuries and TIPS, gold, agricultural and energy commodities, defense and cybersecurity equities, and climate-resilient real estate. It allocates across these sleeves with a quantitative model, with AI assisting research and validation, under an Investment Committee chaired by Dr. Nouriel Roubini that approves every allocation. USAFi is its tokenized expression, carrying the same basket on chain.

Dr. Nouriel Roubini on the philosophy behind Atlas AI Labs.

USAFi is pre-launch; the underlying USAF ETF is live and SEC-registered. USAFi is not a stablecoin: it holds no dollar peg, its NAV floats with the basket, and its value can fall.
The result is built to be a durable store of value: something you can hold today and spend later without the erosion fiat suffers over time. To do that, an asset has to be stable, scarce, verifiable, and liquid.

​
Why a new store of value

Across history people have met those conditions with different instruments: food, then gold for most of recorded history, then government paper through the twentieth century, then equities and diversified indices through pension funds and retirement accounts. Land has run alongside all of them. Each instrument was unlocked by a technology of its time, from metallurgy and the assay to the printing press, the joint-stock company, and modern computing. Every era meets the same four conditions with new instruments. The reserve set this generation inherited (sovereign debt, equities, real estate, and gold) no longer satisfies all four at once. Two technologies now make the next step possible. Blockchain makes ownership verifiable and settlement global. AI can test, monitor, and update allocation evidence faster than any human committee. Together they make a new store of value possible: a single instrument that holds all the old ones, uses AI to inform how they are balanced, and distributes them in a programmable, on-chain form. The goal is preservation, not outperformance: stable value across inflation, growth shocks, and geopolitical stress. A quantitative model, with AI assisting the research behind it, reallocates across these sleeves as the macro regime shifts, with the aim of dampening volatility and limiting drawdowns. The Investment Committee, chaired by Dr. Nouriel Roubini, approves every allocation: the system proposes, the Committee decides.

​
Engineering a durable store of value

Each of the four conditions maps to a property USAFi is built to provide.

Stable

The basket consolidates the dominant stores of value into one instrument, and a model maintains the allocation against shifting correlations, rate volatility, and policy shocks to dampen drawdowns. (USAFi is NOT a stablecoin.)

Liquid

Claims clear on chain and compose with the wider on-chain economy. Redemptions run against the underlying ETF, anchoring the token to some of the deepest pools in global markets.

Verifiable

USAF is registered with the SEC and custodied at BNY Mellon. An independent verifier (named at launch) produces PoR attestations on a defined schedule, reconciling the on-chain token supply against the off-chain custody record, and Atlas publishes each attestation.

Scarce

Every USAFi token is backed by USAF ETF shares held in segregated custody at BNY Mellon, ring-fenced and bankruptcy-remote from the Issuer’s operations, not commingled with the Issuer’s assets. It is a claim backed by that collateral, with redemption under VARA’s Recovery and Resolution framework.

​
The technodollar

Put together, these layers make a new form of reserve. A diversified claim on the American productive economy (USAF), distributed through programmable settlement (USAFi), and kept current by a quantitative model under Investment Committee control: this is the technodollar. It does not try to replace the dollar or to move it from place to place. It sits one layer beneath the transactional rails, as the reserve that preserves value while stablecoins move it. The pages that follow take each part in turn.
