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.

WTI drifts higher to near $64.00 on Russia-Ukraine supply concerns

WTI drifts higher to near $64.00 on Russia-Ukraine supply concerns

The post WTI drifts higher to near $64.00 on Russia-Ukraine supply concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI price attracts some buyers near $63.95 in Monday’s early European session, adding 0.30% on the day.  Rising Fed rate cut bets and persistent Russia-Ukraine tensions support the WTI price. Investors assess the impact of the heightened US tariffs on Indian goods.  West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US crude oil benchmark, is trading around $63.95 during the early European trading hours on Monday. The WTI recovers some lost ground as rising bets of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut offset pressure from new US tariffs on Indian imports. Traders await the release of the American Petroleum Institute (API) weekly crude oil stock, which is due later on Tuesday.  Traders still ramp up their bets of a Fed rate reduction this month despite the hot US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index report for July. Markets are now pricing in nearly an 89% possibility of a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut by the Fed at the September policy meeting, up from an 85% chance before the US PCE data, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Fed rate cut expectations might weigh on the US Dollar (USD) and underpin the USD-denominated commodity price.  Additionally, escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine contribute to the WTI’s upside as the attacks reignited supply security concerns. Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian energy sites, sparking a fire at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and damaging the Ust-Luga export terminal in the Baltic Sea. US President Donald Trump threatened to impose additional sanctions on Russia if no progress is made in peace talks with Ukraine.   On the other hand, Trump’s decision to impose steep tariffs on Indian imports took effect, raising fears of slowing trade and weaker global demand. This, in turn, might undermine the black gold in the near term. The Trump administration doubled tariffs on Indian imports…

EUR/GBP holds positive ground above 0.8650 on hotter-than-expected German CPI data

EUR/GBP holds positive ground above 0.8650 on hotter-than-expected German CPI data

The post EUR/GBP holds positive ground above 0.8650 on hotter-than-expected German CPI data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/GBP strengthens to near 0.8660 in Monday’s early European session.  The French PM will hold a confidence vote on September 8, bringing back fears of recession.  Analysts expect the BoE will not cut interest rates for the remainder of the year. The EUR/GBP cross gains momentum to around 0.8660 during the early European trading hours on Monday. The hotter-than-expected preliminary reading of Germany’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report provides some support to the Euro (EUR). The European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde is scheduled to speak later on Monday.   The recent German inflation data showed that the country’s CPI rose 2.2% YoY in August, compared to 2.0% in July, exceeding the estimation of 2.1%. The HICP climbed 2.1% YoY in August versus 1.8% prior, above the consensus of 2.0%. The rise in inflation has led to uncertainty regarding future ECB actions and prompted investors to reassess the likelihood of ECB rate cuts. Nonetheless, France faces a new political crisis as Prime Minister François Bayrou is expected to lose a confidence vote. Opinion polls from Reuters showed that most French people now want new national elections, pointing to deepening dissatisfaction with politics and a risk of lasting uncertainty. This, in turn, might exert some selling pressure on the shared currency. Traders will take more cues from the flash Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) data from the Eurozone, which is due later on Tuesday.  On the other hand, traders reduce their bets on the Bank of England (BoE) interest rate cut after a series of hawkish economic data, which might support the GBP. BoE Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member Catherine Mann last week also argued in favor of holding interest rates at their current levels for a longer period, with inflationary pressures turning out to be persistent.

EUR/JPY climbs above 172.00 amid lingering uncertainty over Eurozone inflation

EUR/JPY climbs above 172.00 amid lingering uncertainty over Eurozone inflation

The post EUR/JPY climbs above 172.00 amid lingering uncertainty over Eurozone inflation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/JPY continues to appreciate as the Euro receives support after hotter German inflation. ECB’s Olli Rehn stated that the current uncertainty surrounding inflation trends requires “flexibility” in policymaking. The Japanese Yen finds support as traders anticipate the BoJ will raise interest rates before year-end. EUR/JPY extends its gains for the third successive session, trading around 172.20 during the Asian hours on Monday. The currency cross gains ground as the Euro (EUR) receives support as Friday’s data showed that German inflation rate rose to 2.2% in August from 2% in July and above market forecasts of 2.1%, though remaining close to the European Central Bank’s (ECB) 2% target. However, other major economies in the Eurozone reported inflation of 0.8% in France, 1.7% in Italy, and 2.7% in Spain, keeping the ECB on course to maintain rates at 2% in September. Meanwhile, an ECB survey indicated that inflation expectations remain stable. On Sunday, ECB Governing Council member Olli Rehn stated that current uncertainty over inflation developments calls for “flexibility” in policymaking. Rehn added, “There are more downside risks to inflation stemming from a stronger Euro (EUR), cheaper energy and easing of core inflation, together with the damage trade policy has caused to the global economy.” “Rate decisions are taken meeting by meeting, based on the latest available data,” according to a Bloomberg report. The upside of the EUR/JPY cross could be restrained as the Japanese Yen (JPY) receives support as traders expect the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to increase interest rates before year-end, which could be attributed to the rising wages, stubborn inflation, and a more optimistic economic outlook. On the data front, Japan’s Capital Spending rose 7.6% in the second quarter, accelerating from 6.4% in the prior quarter and surpassing forecasts of 6.2%. However, the Jibun Bank Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index…

Gold nears all-time high amid Fed rate cut bets, geopolitical tensions

Gold nears all-time high amid Fed rate cut bets, geopolitical tensions

The post Gold nears all-time high amid Fed rate cut bets, geopolitical tensions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold prolongs its uptrend and climbs back closer to the all-time peak on Monday. Fed rate cut bets keep the USD depressed and benefit the non-yielding commodity. Escalating geopolitical tensions also lend support to the safe-haven XAU/USD pair. Gold (XAU/USD) maintains its strong bid tone heading into the European session on Monday and remains well within striking distance of the all-time peak, around the $3,500 psychological mark touched in April. Despite signs of stubborn inflation, traders seem convinced that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates this month. The outlook drags the US Dollar (USD) back closer to the August monthly swing high and acts as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal. Furthermore, growing concerns about the Fed’s independence turn out to be another factor contributing to the bearish sentiment surrounding the USD. Apart from this, fresh geopolitical risks stemming from Russia’s attack on Ukraine and escalating Israel-Hamas conflict offer additional support to the safe-haven Gold. However, slightly overbought conditions on short-term charts warrant some caution for the XAU/USD bulls ahead of this week’s important US macro releases. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold buying remains unabated amid Fed rate cut bets, geopolitical risks The US Bureau of Economic Analysis reported on Friday that the annual Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index held steady at 2.6% in July. Moreover, the core PCE Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, edged higher to 2.9% during the reported month from June’s rise of 2.8%, matching analysts’ estimates. The data reaffirmed bets that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this month. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, traders are currently pricing in an 87% chance that the Fed will lower borrowing costs by 25 basis points at the end of a two-day meeting on September 174 and…

Japanese Yen gains on BoJ rate hike bets; USD/JPY nears key support

Japanese Yen gains on BoJ rate hike bets; USD/JPY nears key support

The post Japanese Yen gains on BoJ rate hike bets; USD/JPY nears key support appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Japanese Yen reverses a modest Asian session downtick against a broadly weaker USD. The BoJ rate hike expectations and the global flight to safety offer some support to the JPY. The divergent BoJ-Fed policy outlook further exerts downward pressure on the USD/JPY. The Japanese Yen (JPY) remains on the front foot against a broadly weaker US Dollar (USD), with the USD/JPY pair flirting with a four-week-old trading range support just below the 147.00 mark during the early European session on Monday. Moreover, the fundamental backdrop seems tilted in favor of the JPY bulls. Fresh geopolitical risks stemming from Russia’s sweeping attack on Ukraine and escalating Israel-Hamas conflict might continue to benefit the JPY’s safe-haven status. Adding to this, the growing acceptance that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will hike interest rates soon validates the positive outlook for the JPY. Meanwhile, hawkish BoJ expectations mark a significant divergence in comparison to rising bets that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will lower borrowing costs twice by the end of 2025. This has been a key factor behind the US Dollar’s (USD) underperformance and further benefits the lower-yielding JPY, suggesting that the path of least resistance for the USD/JPY pair is to the downside. Traders, however, might refrain from placing aggressive bets amid the expected thin liquidity on the back of the Labor Day holiday in the US and ahead of this week’s important US macro releases scheduled at the start of a new month. Japanese Yen benefits from the divergent BoJ-Fed policy expectations, safe-haven demand The S&P Global Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was finalized at 49.7 for August, signaling a slower and only marginal deterioration in business conditions across the sector. Separately, Japan’s Ministry of Finance reported this Monday that companies increased capital spending on plant and equipment by 7.6%…

USD/CHF trades cautiously near 0.8000 at the start of busy US-data week

USD/CHF trades cautiously near 0.8000 at the start of busy US-data week

The post USD/CHF trades cautiously near 0.8000 at the start of busy US-data week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF struggles for firm-footing as the Fed is expected to cut interest rates this month. The US Dollar trades cautiously ahead of an array of US labor market-related data. This week, the Swiss Franc will be influenced by the inflation data for August. The USD/CHF pair trades with caution near 0.8000 during the Asian trading session on Monday. The Swiss France pair struggles to gain ground as investors turn extremely cautious ahead of an array of United States (US) labor market-related data publishing this week. At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades close to the monthly low around 97.60. Market participants will pay close attention to US job-related data to get cues about the current status of the labor market. A significant downward revision in the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) figures for May and June in the July’s report intensified investors’ speculation for an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed) for the September policy meeting. According to the CME FedWatch tool, there is an 87.6% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in the policy meeting this month. Meanwhile, US appeals court has accused President Donald Trump on Friday of wrongly invoking the emergency law to fulfil his tariff agenda, which they called as “illegal”, an event that has raised concerns over the credibility of US administration. This has also exerted pressure on the US Dollar. In the Swiss region, investors await the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for August, which is scheduled for Thursday. Month-on-month CPI is expected to have remained flat again, a scenario that will boost expectations of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) pushing interest rates into thenegative territory.   US Dollar FAQs The US Dollar (USD) is the official currency of…

Long-Inactive Bitcoin Whale Sells BTC and Buys Large Volumes of Ethereum! Here Are the Details

Long-Inactive Bitcoin Whale Sells BTC and Buys Large Volumes of Ethereum! Here Are the Details

The post Long-Inactive Bitcoin Whale Sells BTC and Buys Large Volumes of Ethereum! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to data shared by on-chain analysis platform Lookonchain, a “Bitcoin whale” that has been inactive in the market for a long time has made a remarkable transaction again. Bitcoin Whale Makes Huge Move: Sold 2,000 BTC and Bought 48,942 ETH The whale in question sold 2,000 Bitcoins (approximately $215 million) and purchased 48,942 Ethereum (ETH) for the same value in the last four hours. According to the data, this investor stands out not only with his recent moves but also with his long-standing strategic acquisitions. The whale has reportedly accumulated a total of 886,400 ETH to date, reaching a market capitalization of $4.07 billion. This amount is among the highest wallet balances among individual investors in the Ethereum ecosystem. Whale activity in cryptocurrency markets is considered a key indicator of price direction. Experts believe this whale’s accelerated Bitcoin sales and shift to Ethereum indicate that ETH is becoming increasingly prominent in investment strategies. In particular, increasing institutional interest in spot ETH ETFs and record increases in transaction volume on the network may be the reason for this preference. Market analysts say that purchases of this scale could provide support to the Ethereum price in the medium term, but could also increase selling pressure on Bitcoin. The new moves the whale will make in the coming days are among the main developments that investors will closely follow. *This is not investment advice.

US Dollar Index steadies above 97.50 as Fed rate cut bets weigh on outlook

US Dollar Index steadies above 97.50 as Fed rate cut bets weigh on outlook

The post US Dollar Index steadies above 97.50 as Fed rate cut bets weigh on outlook appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar Index may struggle due to the rising likelihood of a Fed rate cut in September. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said that officials are ready to lower interest rates soon. US inflation increased in July, a rise partly attributed to President Trump’s tariffs. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is holding ground after registering losses in the previous four successive sessions and trading around 97.70 during the Asian hours on Monday. United States (US) markets will be closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday. The Greenback faces challenges amid rising bets of an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in the September meeting. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said on Sunday that policymakers will be ready to cut the interest rates soon, adding that inflation stemming from tariffs will likely prove temporary, per Bloomberg. US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index remained steady at 2.6% year-over-year in July, coming in line with the market expectation. The US core PCE Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.9% YoY in July, as expected, following June’s increase of 2.8%. On a monthly basis, the core PCE Price Index rose 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively. CNN reported on Friday that the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a ruling that the sweeping tariffs the US President Donald Trump unilaterally imposed on most other countries were illegal. However, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a Fox News interview on Sunday that US President Donald Trump’s administration will likely continue negotiations with its trade partners despite the US court ruling.

Metaplanet Bitcoin holdings hits 20K: will it surpass Strategy?

Metaplanet Bitcoin holdings hits 20K: will it surpass Strategy?

The post Metaplanet Bitcoin holdings hits 20K: will it surpass Strategy? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japanese Bitcoin firm Metplanet has invested another 6.48 billion Japanese yen (roughly $112 million) to fund its treasury, which brought its total holdings to 20,000 BTC. With the latest acquisition, the company is climbing the corporate treasury ladder, but will it be able to dethrone the Michael Saylor-led Strategy? Summary Metaplanet has acquired 1009 BTC against a $112 million investment. The company currently holds 20,000 BTC, making it the sixth-largest corporate holder.  Metaplanet shares traded downwards after the latest disclosure. The Tokyo-headquartered company said on Monday that it had acquired 1009 BTC at an average price of roughly $111,094 per Bitcoin. Its total Bitcoin stash is now valued at over $2.14 billion, based on the latest BTC price of $107,360 as of press time. As of Sep. 1, Metaplanet ranks as the sixth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, as it is expected to surpass Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms Inc., which held a Bitcoin stash of 19,239 BTC according to data from BitcoinTreasuries. This recent purchase also brings it closer to its year-end target of holding at least 30,000 BTC in this treasury by the end of 2025.  To be able to achieve that target, the company would need to pick up 2500 BTC on average over the next four months. Initially, the plan was to acquire 10,000 BTC within the same time frame, but the company had blown past its original goal months ahead of schedule. Within the next two years, the company would be chasing an even more ambitious target of holding 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply, which would constitute 210,000 BTC, by 2027. Even if that happens, Metaplanet would still be lagging behind Strategy, which holds a whopping 632,457 BTC as of Sep. 1. Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich has disclosed on multiple occasions that the company’s Bitcoin accumulation…
