Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

BlockDAG’s 76,815% ROI Play In September 2025, Tron’s Bearish Signal, Dogecoin’s ETF Gamble

The post BlockDAG’s 76,815% ROI Play In September 2025, Tron’s Bearish Signal, Dogecoin’s ETF Gamble appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Readers should conduct independent research before taking any actions related to the project mentioned in this piece. This article should not be regarded as investment advice. The cryptocurrency market in 2025 is presenting three distinctly different stories. Tron (TRX), despite strong adoption, is flashing a bearish signal at $0.34 as traders test support levels that could drag it closer to $0.30. Dogecoin (DOGE), once the king of memes, is down 57% from its July high, with price analysis showing vulnerability to $0.10 unless ETF approval sparks renewed demand. But while TRX and DOGE navigate uncertainty, BlockDAG (BDAG) is executing a calculated strategy. Its Deployment Event presale price of $0.0013 is paired with a structured ROI roadmap: a $0.05 listing milestone, $600M raise target, and a long-term projection of $1. Unlike rivals, BlockDAG has already delivered measurable gains, while onboarding 3M miners and 312K holders. In a market driven by speculation, BDAG’s engineered outcomes position it as the best crypto for payments and future growth. TRON Hovers at $0.34, Could a Break Below Mean Big Trouble? TRON (TRX) is currently holding steady at $0.34, a price point that has become a key battleground for traders. The market has been moving sideways, showing hesitation as buyers and sellers weigh the next move. Technical indicators suggest mixed momentum: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral, pointing to neither overbought nor oversold conditions, while the MACD is starting to flash bearish signals, suggesting a possible loss of strength ahead. The crucial area to watch is the $0.33–$0.34 support zone. If TRX falls below this level, traders warn that a slide toward $0.30 could follow. On the upside, a strong rebound could push the…

Strategic shift sparks market and community reactions. Robinhood sees stock surge from S&P addition. Michael Saylor expressed concern over Strategy’s exclusion from the S&P 500 index after meeting all criteria, as Robinhood was included instead. This decision influences both equity valuations and crypto-market sentiment, given Strategy’s substantial Bitcoin holdings. Robinhood Joins S&P 500; Shares Surge 7.5% In a notable occurrence, Strategy met all criteria for becoming part of the S&P 500, yet it was not included. Michael Saylor commented, suggesting potential inconsistencies in selection. Robinhood’s unexpected entry added further complexity to the announcement.

Robinhood’s inclusion sparked a positive response with its shares increasing by 7.5%, reflecting the immediate index effect.

WTI hits three-month low as OPEC+ meeting looms

WTI hits three-month low as OPEC+ meeting looms

The post WTI hits three-month low as OPEC+ meeting looms appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI falls to $61.20, its lowest level since June 2, before stabilizing near $61.50. Markets brace for Sunday’s OPEC+ meeting, with Saudi Arabia pushing for an accelerated return of 1.66 mb/d supply, though no final decision has been made. WTI trades below the 50-day SMA at $64.90, with key support at $61.50; a break lower could target $59.50-58.50. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude Oil is heading into the weekend under heavy pressure, extending its losing streak to a third straight day as traders brace for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies (OPEC+) meeting on Sunday, September 7. At the time of writing, WTI is trading near $61.50 per barrel, down about 2.70% on the day, marking its lowest level since June 2 and leaving the US benchmark on course for its first weekly decline in three weeks. The latest sell-off comes as investors weigh the prospect of a supply shift from the OPEC+. According to a Bloomberg report, Saudi Arabia has been pressing the group to accelerate the return of roughly 1.66 million barrels per day of previously curtailed supply, in a bid to reclaim global market share. While delegates stressed that no final decision has been made and keeping output steady into October remains an option, sources noted an increase could be agreed as soon as this weekend or later in the year. Any proposal to boost output may also face resistance from members keen to keep prices elevated. The bearish tone has been reinforced by a surprise build in US crude inventories this week, which added to oversupply concerns. Energy equities have also tracked Oil lower, underscoring investor unease as the potential for an early OPEC+ supply boost coincides with signs of softer demand. WTI remains pinned below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at…

Home Affordability And The Monetary System

Home Affordability And The Monetary System

The post Home Affordability And The Monetary System appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. We should put him on a coin (Photo by Roger Viollet Collection/Getty Images) Roger Viollet via Getty Images A few years ago I wrote a piece, for Public Discourse, called “Montesquieu and the Monetary System.” It discussed our having fiat money, non-gold-standard money, today, from the perspective of the eighteenth century French legal sage, Montesquieu. His Spirit of the Laws argued that legal arrangements properly well up from the ethos of the people—that there should be little “space” between what laws and legal conventions specify and the actual desires of the populace about the ordering of society. Fiat money fails this test outright. The public abhors fiat money and yearns for the days when the all-American expression “sound as a dollar” meant something. The United States was on the gold standard until 1971, and minted silver coins until 1964, these dates marking the final points of the most longed-for period of all of American economic history, in the popular imagination today—that of postwar, post-World War II prosperity. Americans prefer today, as they always have, classical monetary systems, not fiat ones. The view of experts is the opposite. They think that fiat money is great, and that the gold standard in particular is properly in the dustbin of history. They reject returning to a gold standard outright, get impatient with entertaining objections, and point to overwhelming consensus among professionals and specialists in monetary affairs that any consideration of the gold standard today is a waste of time, resources, and energy. Ben Bernanke’s position that he had no idea what moved the gold markets encapsulated the matter. A chief monetary master, such as a Federal Reserve chair, perhaps above all else should have a view as to what moves the gold markets. Populace loves gold-standard-like money, experts dismiss such money, and that…

AUD/USD jumps to six-week high as weak US NFP cement Fed cut

AUD/USD jumps to six-week high as weak US NFP cement Fed cut

The post AUD/USD jumps to six-week high as weak US NFP cement Fed cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/USD hits 0.6588 peak after US adds just 22K jobs in August, well below 75K forecast. Unemployment rate rises to 4.3% as wage growth steadies; traders fully price September 25 bps Fed cut. Markets eye US CPI next week, while AUD outlook hinges on China data and domestic consumer sentiment. The AUD/USD rallies to six weeks high of 0.6588 after the latest Nonfarm Payrolls report in the United States (US), had cemented the case that the Federal Reserve would cut rates at the September meeting. The pair trades at 0.6565 up 0.40% Aussie rallies 0.40% to 0.6565 after soft NFP data drives Dollar lower and September Fed easing bets higher The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revealed that the economy added just 22K jobs in August, below the 75K projected by economists, down from the 79K upward revised. Digging into the data, the Average Hourly Earnings remained unchanged at 0.3% MoM as expected, while the Unemployment Rate rose to 4.3% up from 4.2% in July. Following the data, market participants had priced in 67 basis points of easing by the Federal Reserve, towards the year end, according to the December 2025 Fed funds rate futures contract. For the September meeting, traders had fully priced in a 25-basis points rate cut. Odds for 50 bps are at 14% ahead of next week’s release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August. A continuation of the disinflation process could increase the odds for a big size rate cut by the Fed. At the same time, movements in the Australian Dollar (AUD) are currently influenced by fluctuations in the US Dollar.  Next week, the economic docket will feature the Westpac Consumer Confidence and the influence of Chinese economic data.

Why was Michael Saylor’s Strategy snubbed by a S&P 500 secret committee?

Why was Michael Saylor’s Strategy snubbed by a S&P 500 secret committee?

The post Why was Michael Saylor’s Strategy snubbed by a S&P 500 secret committee? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor’s Strategy missed out on inclusion in the S&P 500 this Friday, sending MSTR tumbling almost 3% despite meeting every published criterion. Unexpectedly, commission-free trading app Robinhood was included, sending its stock soaring by 7%, and exposing how discretionary and secretive the selection process really is. The SPX is run by a ‘secret committee’ The S&P 500 is often seen as the gold standard of U.S. corporate prestige, a club that companies fight hard to join. Strategy comfortably checked all the boxes: strong market cap, liquidity, and four consecutive quarters of positive earnings. Many investors expected the company’s Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet (now over 636,000 BTC) would finally land it a coveted spot. But as Boomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointed out on X, meeting the criteria isn’t enough: “Why wasn’t $MSTR allowed into the S&P 500 Index despite meeting all the criteria? Because the ‘Committee’ said no. You have to realize SPX is essentially an active fund run by a secret committee.” This “Committee” is not public. Its members are senior analysts from S&P Dow Jones Indices, but their identities are withheld to avoid lobbying and outside influence. The reality is that even after meeting strict metrics, final entry is a matter of human discretion, not a rules-based process. The Bitcoin Therapist said it best: “Reminder that a company that literally sells a shitcoin called ‘Fartcoin’ with a treasury of 11,776 BTC was included in the S&P 500 but Strategy, a Bitcoin only company with a treasury of 636,505 BTC and the largest fixed income IPOs of the year was not included.” Strategy is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder and has become a proxy for BTC exposure on U.S. financial markets. Its omission has sparked frustration among crypto advocates and traditional investors alike, who believe old-guard prejudice is still…

Crucial Fed Rate Cuts: Barclays Predicts Three This Year

Crucial Fed Rate Cuts: Barclays Predicts Three This Year

BitcoinWorld Crucial Fed Rate Cuts: Barclays Predicts Three This Year The financial world is buzzing with a significant forecast from investment bank Barclays: they anticipate three Fed rate cuts this year. This projection, hot on the heels of Friday’s pivotal non-farm payrolls report, signals a potential shift in monetary policy that could ripple through the global economy. For investors, businesses, and even everyday consumers, understanding these predicted Fed rate cuts is crucial for navigating the months ahead. What Exactly Are Fed Rate Cuts, and Why Do They Matter? When the Federal Reserve (the Fed) decides on interest rates, they’re essentially setting the cost of borrowing money. A ‘rate cut’ means they are lowering their benchmark interest rate, making it cheaper for banks to borrow from the Fed. In turn, this can lead to lower interest rates on loans for consumers and businesses, such as mortgages, car loans, and business credit lines. Stimulating the Economy: Lower rates typically encourage borrowing and spending, which can boost economic activity. Inflation Management: Historically, rate cuts are considered when inflation is under control or the economy needs a push. Market Reactions: Financial markets, including stocks, bonds, and even cryptocurrencies, often react significantly to changes in interest rate expectations. Barclays specifically expects each of these upcoming Fed rate cuts to be 0.25 percentage points. Their forecast extends beyond this year, projecting two additional cuts in March and June of 2026. This long-term view provides a clearer picture of their economic outlook. What’s Driving Barclays’ Optimistic Outlook for Fed Rate Cuts? The recent non-farm payrolls report plays a key role in Barclays’ analysis. While a strong jobs report might typically suggest the economy is robust enough to handle higher rates, the nuances within the data, combined with other economic indicators, are painting a different picture for the investment bank. Factors like cooling inflation, subtle shifts in wage growth, and a generally stabilizing labor market are likely contributing to their belief that the Fed will have room to ease its monetary policy. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) continuously assesses a wide array of economic data to make its decisions. Barclays’ economists believe that the current trajectory of these indicators supports a move towards lower borrowing costs, aiming to achieve a ‘soft landing’ – bringing inflation down without triggering a severe recession. How Might These Anticipated Fed Rate Cuts Impact Your Finances? The prospect of lower interest rates carries implications across various financial aspects: Borrowing Costs: If you’re planning to take out a mortgage, a car loan, or use credit, lower rates could mean more affordable monthly payments. This is a direct benefit for consumers and can stimulate big-ticket purchases. Savings and Investments: While borrowing becomes cheaper, interest rates on savings accounts and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) might also decrease. This could prompt savers to seek higher returns elsewhere, potentially in investments like stocks or even the volatile but high-growth cryptocurrency market. Business Expansion: For companies, cheaper borrowing can fund expansion, hiring, and innovation, potentially leading to increased corporate profits and economic growth. Understanding these potential shifts allows individuals and businesses to strategize effectively. For instance, locking in a lower mortgage rate could be a wise move, or re-evaluating investment portfolios to align with a new interest rate environment. Are There Any Challenges or Risks to These Fed Rate Cut Predictions? While Barclays’ forecast is compelling, the future is never set in stone. Several factors could influence the FOMC’s decisions and potentially alter the timeline or number of Fed rate cuts: Persistent Inflation: If inflation proves more stubborn than anticipated, the Fed might be hesitant to cut rates, as lower rates could reignite price pressures. Unexpected Economic Strength: A sudden surge in economic activity or an exceptionally strong labor market could also lead the Fed to maintain higher rates for longer, to prevent overheating. Geopolitical Events: Global events, such as supply chain disruptions or international conflicts, can introduce economic uncertainty and impact the Fed’s policy choices. The Fed’s primary mandate is to achieve maximum employment and price stability. Their decisions are data-dependent, meaning every new economic report can shift their outlook. Investors should remain agile and monitor official communications from the FOMC closely. Concluding Thoughts: Navigating the Future of Fed Rate Cuts Barclays’ projection of three Fed rate cuts this year offers a fascinating glimpse into a potential future where borrowing costs ease and economic activity receives a gentle nudge. This forecast, rooted in recent economic data, suggests a path toward a more accommodative monetary policy. While the specifics are subject to change, the overarching sentiment points towards a significant pivot from the aggressive rate hikes of the past. Staying informed about these developments is key to making sound financial decisions in an evolving economic landscape. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What is the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)? A1: The FOMC is the monetary policy-making body of the Federal Reserve System. It consists of 12 members and is responsible for setting the federal funds rate, which influences other interest rates across the economy. Q2: How do Fed rate cuts affect the average consumer? A2: Fed rate cuts can lead to lower interest rates on various loans, such as mortgages, car loans, and credit cards, making borrowing cheaper. Conversely, returns on savings accounts and CDs might also decrease. Q3: What economic data influences the Fed’s decision on interest rates? A3: The Fed considers a broad range of data, including inflation rates (like the Consumer Price Index), employment figures (like the non-farm payrolls report), wage growth, consumer spending, and manufacturing output. Q4: Could Barclays’ prediction of Fed rate cuts change? A4: Yes, economic forecasts are dynamic. Barclays’ prediction is based on current data and trends, but unexpected shifts in inflation, economic growth, or global events could lead the FOMC to adjust its policy, thereby altering the timing or number of predicted Fed rate cuts. Q5: How might Fed rate cuts impact the cryptocurrency market? A5: Lower interest rates can make traditional, lower-risk investments less attractive, potentially encouraging investors to seek higher returns in more volatile assets like cryptocurrencies. This could lead to increased interest and investment in the crypto market.
