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.

Bitcoin’s 30% Volatility Implies a Fair Value of $126,000

Bitcoin’s 30% Volatility Implies a Fair Value of $126,000

The post Bitcoin’s 30% Volatility Implies a Fair Value of $126,000 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. JPMorgan says Bitcoin is undervalued by $16,000 compared to gold on a risk-adjusted basis The bank’s report notes that Bitcoin’s six-month volatility has hit a record low of just 30% On a volatility-adjusted basis, JPMorgan calculates a fair value for Bitcoin of around $126,000 A sharp decline in Bitcoin’s volatility is fundamentally reshaping its investment case, with JPMorgan analysts now arguing the cryptocurrency is significantly undervalued compared to gold. The bank’s latest research reveals Bitcoin’s six-month realized volatility has been cut in half, plunging from 60% earlier this year to a record low of just 30%.  This historic compression means Bitcoin now trades at only twice the volatility of gold, the narrowest gap ever recorded. The shift signals that the digital asset may require far less risk capital than in the past, strengthening its appeal for institutional portfolios.  First they argue, then they complain now they fully onboard : @jpmorgan recent report, dated August 28, 2025, states that #Bitcoin is undervalued compared to gold, with its six-month rolling volatility dropping from 60% to a record low of 30%. Their volatility-adjusted models… — MartyParty (@martypartymusic) August 28, 2025 What Is JPMorgan’s “Fair Value” for Bitcoin? The comparison to gold is central to JPMorgan’s argument. On a volatility-adjusted basis, the analysts estimate Bitcoin’s market cap would need to climb by 13% to match the $5 trillion invested in private gold holdings.  This calculation implies a fair value for Bitcoin of around $126,000 per coin, compared to its current price near $112,500. This is a key factor in the current Bitcoin (BTC) price prediction. Based on this model, JPMorgan calculates Bitcoin is currently undervalued by about $16,000. As Bitcoin behaves more like a mature financial asset, it becomes a more compelling option for long-term portfolio strategies, especially as the BTC price remains stuck…

This is a huge step for the crypto industry, showing that the government is now using decentralized technology. Pyth will initially publish quarterly GDP figures going back five years, with plans to expand into other macroeconomic datasets, ushering in a new era of transparent, blockchain-native data. Why Did the US Government Choose Pyth? Already integrated across over 100 blockchains and supporting more than 600 applications, Pyth is positioned as a trusted, decentralized oracle network capable of handling cryptographically verifiable data. Its transparent data model and staking-based security further strengthen its credibility. As expected, the news sparked a rapid market response with Pyth’s native token, PYTH, surging approximately 50% in intraday trading. Its current price is $0.1867. In Q1 2025, Pyth recorded $149.1 billion in Total Transaction Value (TTV), which is a 14.9% drop from Q4’s $175.2 billion. However, the numbers still show a staggering 376.6% increase year-over-year.  Pyth’s market share stayed strong at 32.5%, ahead of Chainlink’s 20.3% despite overall market slowdown. Today’s announcement will likely put Pyth even more in the spotlight and possibly help with a bigger boost in the long term.

The post $KENDU – The Everything Coin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In a saturated market, where interaction from a celebrity or a cute, viral animal prompts 50+ derivative “projects,” it can be difficult to stand out. KENDU does not rely on a fleeting narrative.

Initial Jobless Claims dropped to 229K last week

Initial Jobless Claims dropped to 229K last week

The post Initial Jobless Claims dropped to 229K last week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Initial Jobless Claims fell to 229K vs. the previous week. Continuing Jobless Claims decreased to 1.954M. According to a report from the US Department of Labour (DOL) released on Thursday, the number of US citizens submitting new applications for unemployment insurance fell to 229K for the week ending August 23. The latest print fell slightly short of initial estimates (230K) and was lower than the previous week’s 234K (revised from 235K). Additionally, the 4-week moving average increased by 2.5K, bringing it up to 228.50K from the revised average of the previous week. The report indicated a seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate of 1.3%, with Continuing Jobless Claims shrinking by 7K to 1.954M for the week ending August 16. Market reaction The Greenback keeps the offered stance unchanged in the wake of the release, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) challenging the 98.00 neighbourhood amid a solid recovery from risk-associated assets and mixed US yields across the curve. Employment FAQs Labor market conditions are a key element to assess the health of an economy and thus a key driver for currency valuation. High employment, or low unemployment, has positive implications for consumer spending and thus economic growth, boosting the value of the local currency. Moreover, a very tight labor market – a situation in which there is a shortage of workers to fill open positions – can also have implications on inflation levels and thus monetary policy as low labor supply and high demand leads to higher wages. The pace at which salaries are growing in an economy is key for policymakers. High wage growth means that households have more money to spend, usually leading to price increases in consumer goods. In contrast to more volatile sources of inflation such as energy prices, wage growth is seen as a key component…

Bitcoin is Undervalued Relative to Gold, JPMorgan Says

Bitcoin is Undervalued Relative to Gold, JPMorgan Says

The post Bitcoin is Undervalued Relative to Gold, JPMorgan Says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bitcoin price is undervalued relative to gold, analysts at JPMorgan, a top-tier financial holding company with around $4 trillion in assets under management (AUM), told investors in a note on Thursday. According to JPMorgan analysts, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the Bitcoin price may rise by 13% to reach a target of $126,000, matching gold’s $5 trillion in private investment. JPMorgan Comments On Bitcoin’s Upside Against Gold According to a JPMorgan research report, Bitcoin’s volatility index has dropped from 60% to 30% during the last six months. As such, Bitcoin is currently twice as volatile as gold, the smallest gap ever recorded since its inception. With Bitcoin largely undervalued compared to gold amid its low volatility, JPMorgan noted that BTC’s mainstream adoption is well-positioned to grow ahead. Moreover, the largest U.S. bank, which had previously been skeptical about Bitcoin’s role as a safe haven, noted the rising corporate treasury demand, which has led companies to increase their holdings to around 6% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This forms part of the reasons why these JPMorgan analysts predict that the BTC price will rebound soon to a new all-time high. “Yes, this is the upside we highlighted in our note, which we envisage to be reached by year’s end,” Panigirtzoglou noted. Catalyst For Higher Prices Bitcoin price is expected to rebound in the near future, thanks to the rising adoption among institutional investors. According to market data from BitcoinTreasuries, 309 entities, including Michael Saylor’s Strategy, have accumulated 3.68 million Bitcoins as part of their treasury management. As CoinGape reported, Strategy now holds 3% of BTC’s total supply following its latest $356 million purchase. Additionally, the United States spot Bitcoin ETFs have become the fastest-growing ETFs to surpass $100 billion in just about a year. At the time of this writing, the U.S. spot…

Pending home sales tick lower in July as canceled contracts spike

Pending home sales tick lower in July as canceled contracts spike

The post Pending home sales tick lower in July as canceled contracts spike appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Signed contracts to buy existing homes, known as pending sales, were weaker in July compared with June, and were canceled at the highest rate since at least 2017. The monthly pending home sales index from the National Association of Realtors dropped 0.4% in July from June, but was still 0.7% higher from July of last year. Mortgage rates in July were moving slightly higher, which could account for some of the drop. The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage started July at 6.67% and then moved to 6.85% by the middle of the month and ended July at 6.75%, according to Mortgage News Daily. The rate fell more sharply in August and is now sitting at 6.51%. “Even with modest improvements in mortgage rates, housing affordability, and inventory, buyers still remain hesitant,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the NAR. “Buying a home is often the most expensive purchase people will make in their lives. This means that going under contract is not a decision homebuyers make quickly.”  Not only are sales moving lower, but buyers are canceling these contracts at a swift pace. Redfin, a real estate brokerage, found 15% of contracts were canceled in July, the highest rate since it began tracking the metric in 2017. This is based on a Redfin analysis of pending-sales data from MLS, a national database of listings.

US Commerce Department Adopts Chainlink for On-Chain Economic Data Plan

US Commerce Department Adopts Chainlink for On-Chain Economic Data Plan

The post US Commerce Department Adopts Chainlink for On-Chain Economic Data Plan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Chainlink partnered with the US Department of Commerce to put macroeconomic data on the blockchain. Secretary Howard Lutnick teased this plan earlier this week, and it’s already in motion. Apparently, several other blockchains are also included in this program, but reports vary as to how many or which ones are participating. So far, LINK is the only relevant token to spike in value. Chainlink to Host US Economic Data When Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced his intention to put US macroeconomic data on the blockchain, it drew a lot of skepticism. Why do this, and how will the Department of Commerce carry it out? Today, however, Chainlink’s announcement that it partnered with the US drew a lot of attention. Thanks to this partnership, Chainlink will encode important US macroeconomic data on the blockchain. This includes figures like the Real GDP, PCE Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers. Such an integration might enable new niche uses for blockchain markets. Chainlink, the blockchain infrastructure firm, has been putting a priority on US regulatory compliance lately. The firm is riding high on ambitious partnerships, and its LINK token received the support of a new DAT today. Among all these factors, Chainlink’s partnership announcement caused its token price to rally. Chainlink (LINK) Price Performance. Source: CoinGecko Who’s In The Blockchain Bonanza? However, Chainlink isn’t the only firm that can partner with the US.

Grote dag morgen voor Bitcoin: markt vreest voor belangrijkste inflatiemeter

Grote dag morgen voor Bitcoin: markt vreest voor belangrijkste inflatiemeter

Morgen wordt erop of eronder voor Bitcoin (BTC). De tijd voor de favoriete inflatiemeter van de Amerikaanse centrale bank is weer aangebroken, en dit keer lijken de cijfers belangrijker te zijn dan ooit.  Inflatiedata is nu belangrijker dan ooit Het gaat hier om de zogenoemde PCE-prijsindex, wat staat voor Personal Consumption Expenditures. Het meet hoe de prijzen van goeden en diensten die Amerikanen consumeren veranderen.  De Federal Reserve (Amerikaanse centrale bank) geeft de voorkeur aan de PCE boven de meer bekende CPI (consumentenprijsindex) omdat het een groter scala aan uitgaven dekt en zich sneller aanpast aan veranderend consumptiegedrag. Naast de CPI hebben we ook nog de PPI (producentenprijsindex). Deze inflatiemeter zorgde twee weken terug voor een grote crash op de cryptomarkt. De prijzen voor producenten stegen veel harder dan verwacht. Omdat hogere kosten bij producenten vaak doorberekend worden aan de consument, zouden we dit terug kunnen zien bij de inflatiemeters voor consumenten. Dat is precies waar men nu bang voor is. Want we weten dat de centrale bank zich al een tijdje zorgen maakt voor een nieuwe opleving. Hoewel voorzitter Jerome Powell vorige week in een persconferentie zei dat de zorgen om de verzwakkende arbeidsmarkt groter zijn geworden, is inflatie nog altijd iets om in de gaten te houden. Investeerders wachten al sinds december vorig jaar op een nieuwe renteverlaging. Door de woorden van Powell lijkt de kans groot dat de beleidsmakers volgende maand de economie weer aan gaan jagen. Maar dan moeten er geen gekke dingen gebeuren wat betreft de inflatie.  Zo kan BTC reageren morgen Hieronder de verwachtingen voor de nieuwe lading inflatiecijfers van de maand juli: PCE-cijfers Verwachting Vorige (juni) PCE Prijsindex (jaarlijks) 2,6 procent 2,6 procent PCE prijsindex (maandelijks) 0,2 procent 0,3 procent Kern PCE Prijsindex (jaarlijks) 2,9 procent 2,8 procent Kern PCE Prijsindex (maandelijks) 0,3 procent 0,3 procent. Bij de kern-variant worden de volatiele onderdelen voedsel en energie weggelaten. Dit zijn de belangrijkste cijfers. Als de data lager binnenkomt dan verwacht, dan zou het logisch zijn als bitcoin reageert met een koersstijging. Hogere cijfers zouden de kans op een renteverlaging wat drukken en dus juist voor een daling kunnen zorgen.  Om 14:30 uur Nederlandse tijd weten we wat het allemaal is geworden. Het zou mooi zijn als bitcoin in ieder geval boven de 112.000 dollar weet te blijven. Bij een stijging is de zone 115.000 dollar de eerstvolgende weerstand.    Het bericht Grote dag morgen voor Bitcoin: markt vreest voor belangrijkste inflatiemeter is geschreven door Ivo Melchers en verscheen als eerst op Bitcoinmagazine.nl.
