Vitalik Buterin posted on X stating that if we want to design synthetic stable assets, the real question to answer is not "how to stabilize against the dollar," but "what to stabilize against." He believes that the core need for users holding stablecoins is to lock in future spending ability, but if the crypto ecosystem is built on dollar-pegged stablecoins, it ultimately remains difficult to achieve true decentralization. Vitalik proposed that price indices could be established based on different regions, goods, and service categories, combined with prediction markets, allowing local large models to generate a basket of personalized prediction market positions based on individuals or enterprises' future expenditure structures, representing "expected spending over the next several days." Under this concept, people can pursue appreciation with assets like ETH, stocks, etc., and when stability is needed, hold personalized assets linked to their own expenses instead of relying solely on the dollar.

The idea of regional price indices is good; users in developing countries finally no longer have to be hostage to U.S. dollar inflation.

My expenditure structure? Probably coffee + gas fees + occasional NFTs, building this basket is probably quite abstract haha

Anchoring your future spending basket, this is way more interesting than USDC, but the implementation complexity is a bit intimidating.

Vitalik's idea is too ahead of its time; personalized stable assets sound like science fiction, but upon closer thought, it really hits the pain point—who says stability must be pegged to the US dollar?
