View ChartInflation Hedging Coin (IHC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency built on blockchain technology and issued on the BNB Smart Chain as a BEP20 token. The project was launched from Mongolia with the stated goal of providing a buffer against inflation, positioning itself as a DeFi solution for citizens seeking an alternative to traditional monetary systems controlled by central banks. IHC is designed as a deflationary token that burns part of its supply on an annual basis from its total market capitalization. The token has a maximum supply of 1 trillion IHC, with a circulating supply of approximately 119.64 billion tokens and a total supply of roughly 621.44 billion. The project launched in 2021 and completed an initial token sale tranche of 100 billion tokens for USD $10 million within minutes.
Inflation Hedging Coin is the brainchild of Erkhem Bayarsaikhan, who co-founded the platform alongside several partners. The co-founding team includes Ider-Od Bat-Erdene, Gantig Bayarmagnai, and Munkhjin Otgonbaatar, who also serves as CFO and is described as the Head of Business Development. Munkh-Erdene Burenjargal holds the position of Chief Technology Officer. The project originates from Mongolia and was developed with the intention of offering a decentralized financial tool to address inflationary pressures in the region. The team has maintained an official presence through the project website and social media channels.
IHC operates as a BEP20 token on the BNB Smart Chain, leveraging the blockchain's decentralized infrastructure for transactions and settlement. The token incorporates a 5% transaction fee on transfers, which forms part of its economic model. Its core mechanism is deflationary in nature: the project burns a portion of its reserve supply on an annual basis, reducing the total market capitalization over time. This burning process is intended to counter inflationary pressure by systematically decreasing the available token supply. In December 2022, when US inflation was recorded at 6.5%, the project executed a burn of 43,644,747,420 IHC tokens from the total supply. Additionally, 800,000,000 IHC tokens were purchased from the market and burned, further reducing circulating supply. The whitepaper describes IHC as a decentralized solution for combating inflation.
IHC distinguishes itself through its explicit focus on inflation hedging as a core use case, rather than positioning itself primarily as a medium of exchange or speculative asset. The project's deflationary design, which includes annual burns and a 5% transaction fee, creates a structural mechanism aimed at reducing supply over time. Its origin from Mongolia gives it a unique geographic and narrative identity within the DeFi space, targeting a population that may be particularly sensitive to currency devaluation and inflation. The token's availability across multiple trading platforms and conversion pairs, including fiat pairs such as AUD, BRL, CAD, EUR, GBP, and others, provides accessibility to a broad range of users. The project's whitepaper and public communications emphasize a mission to provide citizens with a hedge against the behavior of federal banks.
The primary intended use of IHC is as an inflation hedging tool for holders. The project positions the token as a store of value that can serve as a buffer against the erosion of purchasing power caused by inflation. IHC can be traded on various cryptocurrency exchanges and swapped through decentralized platforms. It is also used in on-chain swapping activities, including via Crypto.com's official decentralized product. The token supports conversion pairs with multiple fiat currencies, making it accessible for users looking to move between IHC and traditional money. As a DeFi asset, IHC participates in the broader ecosystem of decentralized finance applications on the BNB Smart Chain.
The IHC ecosystem is centered on the BNB Smart Chain and includes trading markets across numerous platforms. The token is listed on major exchanges and maintains active markets, with 27 active trading markets reported. The project has engaged with its community through social media, including an official Facebook page where it announced key events such as the triple burn and the market purchase burn of 800 million tokens. The ecosystem includes resources such as the project website, whitepaper, and source code, which are referenced across various data aggregators. AI-generated price analysis and market views for IHC are available through platforms such as CoinDesk AI Insights and Bybit TradeGPT. Price alerts for IHC are also offered through third-party services like Coinwink. The project's development stage remains focused on its core deflationary token model and trading accessibility.
IHC is not a mineable cryptocurrency in the traditional proof-of-work sense. It exists as a BEP20 token on the BNB Smart Chain, which uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. There is no public information indicating that IHC can be mined through computational power or staked through a native protocol mechanism. Users acquire IHC primarily through trading on supported cryptocurrency exchanges or through on-chain swapping. The token's economic model relies on deflationary burning rather than mining rewards or staking yields. Detailed public information regarding any staking or yield-generating mechanisms is currently limited.
Storing IHC securely requires using a wallet that supports BEP20 tokens on the BNB Smart Chain. Compatible options include hardware wallets, which keep private keys offline and are generally considered the most secure method for long-term storage, as well as reputable software wallets and exchange-hosted wallets for more active trading. Users should always verify the official IHC smart contract address when adding the token to a wallet to avoid counterfeit tokens. Enabling two-factor authentication on exchange accounts, using strong unique passwords, and maintaining secure backups of private keys or seed phrases are essential practices. Given the token's low liquidity ratio and significant price volatility, investors should exercise caution and only commit funds they can afford to lose. Consulting independent financial advisors before making investment decisions is recommended.
