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.

Nasdaq 100 rally stalling as Elliott Wave points to 23270-830

Nasdaq 100 rally stalling as Elliott Wave points to 23270-830

The post Nasdaq 100 rally stalling as Elliott Wave points to 23270-830 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In our previous update about the NASDAQ 100 (NDX), when the index was trading around 24520, we found that, according to the Elliott Wave (EW) Principle, the index is in an impulse (five-wave) move up from the early April lows, targeting 24770-25570 for an interim top. Fast forward two weeks, and the index reached 24958 today. It is perfectly within the ideal target zone and reversed intra-day. Therefore, the odds are increasing that the intermediate (green) W-3 top has been hit. See Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Our preferred short-term Elliott Wave count for the NDX We can allow one smaller (orange) W-5 to reach as high as ~25300, but it is no longer necessary, and that would be like picking up pennies in front of a steam train. Thus, the index has, as expected, entered the zone where the likelihood of a pullback, the green W-4, is high. Additionally, there’s plenty of negative divergence (red dotted arrows) on the technical indicators. However, since these are conditions, not trade triggers, the price will now need to break below the orange warning level* at 24505 to confirm this thesis. Regardless, the green W-4 is inevitable and should ideally retrace 23.6-38.2% of the green W-3, the red target zone between 22360 and 23500. However, since in bull markets “the downside disappoints and the upside surprises,” while the 4th and 2nd waves are often equal in length, a drop to the orange target zone at 23270-23830 is more likely. From there, we can expect one last fifth wave, the green W-5, to target a point close to the ideal black 161.80% Fibonacci extension, approximately 26680, which is also the green 376.4% extension—a typical extended fifth-wave target—at 26565. Once reached, a bear market like 2022 will follow for the black W-4. See Figure 2…

Will the Rally Continue After Bitcoin’s Recent Surge? Expert Comments

Will the Rally Continue After Bitcoin’s Recent Surge? Expert Comments

The post Will the Rally Continue After Bitcoin’s Recent Surge? Expert Comments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin has been showing a strong rise since the beginning of October, confirming the phrase “Uptober” frequently used by cryptocurrency investors. As of today, the Bitcoin price has climbed above $123,000, just a few hundred dollars shy of its all-time high recorded in mid-August. BTC has been trending upwards for the past five days. Bitcoin’s steady appreciation despite market volatility caused by the US government shutdown was driven by a report published by JPMorgan analysts. The report predicted that Bitcoin could reach $165,000 by the end of the year. Analysts argued that Bitcoin stands out as a hedge against the devaluation of fiat currencies. Crypto advocates have long argued that Bitcoin’s decentralized nature can provide a safe haven during times of government-driven uncertainty. Investors’ recent interest in Bitcoin, particularly in the face of threats of new tariffs, supports this argument. JPMorgan has stated that Bitcoin is still “undervalued” compared to traditional hedges like gold. Bitcoin’s rally is being accompanied by other cryptocurrencies, with Ethereum rising nearly 9% in the past week, reaching $4,500. However, not everyone is as optimistic as JPMorgan. Alex Blume, CEO of investment advisory firm Two Prime, described this rise as a “fragile rally.” Blume said the rise could be due to expected market movements in the final quarter of the year, adding that the increased money supply coupled with the Fed’s interest rate cuts provides a clear advantage for Bitcoin. *This is not investment advice.

Gold climbs as shutdown fuels haven demand, eyes record high

Gold climbs as shutdown fuels haven demand, eyes record high

The post Gold climbs as shutdown fuels haven demand, eyes record high appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold price advances during the North American session on Friday, up by 0.70% for the day as the US government shutdown extends to three days, poised to end the week positively for the seventh straight week. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades at $3,882 after hitting a daily low of $3,838. XAU/USD extends weekly winning streak as lack of US data and Fed remarks keep traders leaning toward dovish bets The US economic docket remains light, with the release of the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for September. Figures were mixed, as the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed that the services survey clung to its expansion/contraction neutral level, while S&P Global showed that the economy expanded. The data barely moved the needle, as Bullion extended its gains with traders eyeing a re-test of the record high of $3,896. The US government shutdown impeded the release of Initial Jobless Claims on Thursday and Nonfarm Payrolls on Friday. The lack of data left traders adrift to a slew of Federal Reserve (Fed) officials crossing the wires. Fed Governor Stephen Miran remained dovish, saying that access to data is important to set monetary policy and he remains hopeful the Fed would have access to economic releases. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that Fed policy should be forward-looking. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee acknowledged that risks to the dual mandate are balanced, adding that although the markets had priced in rate cuts, the central bank should remain data-dependent. Regarding geopolitics, a Bloomberg article mentioned that “China is pushing the Trump administration to roll back national-security restrictions on Chinese deals in the US, dangling the prospect of a massive investment package.” In Washington, the US Senate is expected to vote again, though there is no sign that either the Democrats’ or Republicans’ plan would pass.

Ethereum Foundation Converts $4.5M ETH to Stablecoins

Ethereum Foundation Converts $4.5M ETH to Stablecoins

The post Ethereum Foundation Converts $4.5M ETH to Stablecoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced plans to convert 1,000 Ether (ETH) into stablecoins to finance research, grants and donations, aligning with its broader treasury strategy and involvement in funding decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives.  The sale, worth approximately $4.5 million at current prices, was executed via CoW Swap, a decentralized trading protocol that aggregates liquidity across multiple exchanges to offer users competitive prices without relying on a centralized intermediary. Neither the foundation’s announcement nor its treasury policy specified which stablecoins it would receive in exchange for the ETH. Source: Ethereum Foundation This latest conversion follows EF’s earlier disclosure in September that it planned to convert 10,000 ETH into stablecoins over several weeks. However, Friday’s transaction appears to be separate from that initiative, given its smaller scale and use of CoW Swap rather than a centralized exchange. According to the Ethereum Foundation Treasury Policy, EF seeks to “balance between seeking returns above a benchmark rate and extending EF’s role as a steward of the Ethereum ecosystem, with a particular focus on DeFi.” The increased use of stablecoins also comes as EF temporarily paused open grant submissions to its Ecosystem Support Program, citing an influx of applications. The foundation said it will instead prioritize funding for the network’s most pressing needs. In April, EF also announced a leadership restructuring to improve strategic and operational management. The foundation appointed Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak as co-executive directors, both of whom previously held roles within EF. In June, the foundation laid off staff and restructured its core development team.

GBP/USD rises as US shutdown prolongs, Fed data gap grows

GBP/USD rises as US shutdown prolongs, Fed data gap grows

The post GBP/USD rises as US shutdown prolongs, Fed data gap grows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pound Sterling (GBP) advances some 0.26% against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday as the US government began its third day of shutdown and skipped the release of Nonfarm Payroll figures for September. Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), data from S&P Global and ISM in the US, are the main drivers of price action. GBP/USD trades at 1.3471 at the time of writing after bouncing off daily lows of 1.3427. GBP/USD climbs as services PMIs flash slowdown signs, while Fed–BoE divergence underpins Sterling strength Business activity in the US deteriorated, according to the ISM Services PMI. The Index dipped from 52 to 50, clinging to its neutral level, an indication of an economic slowdown. Economists estimated a deceleration to 51.7. In the meantime, S&P Global Services PMI exceeded forecasts of 53.9, rose to 54.2 in September. Comments of the ISM release: “Commentary in general indicated moderate or weak growth, with more isolated observations of supplier delivery challenges. Employment continues to be in contraction territory, thanks to a combination of delayed hiring efforts and difficulty finding qualified staff.” Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Stephen Miran said that access to data is important for Fed officials. He commented that inflation expectations are well anchored, that the real neutral rate is around 0.5% and that he has not been interviewed for the top job at the Fed. At the same time, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee stated that the Chicago Fed employment measures indicate a 4.3% unemployment rate. He added that although the market expects cuts, the Fed will remain data dependent, and it is in a tricky spot with deterioration on both sides of its mandate. Across the pond, business activity in the services sector in the UK grew at the slowest pace in five months in September. The S&P Global Services PMI…

Gold trades below record highs as US shutdown drags on; ISM Services PMI softens

Gold trades below record highs as US shutdown drags on; ISM Services PMI softens

The post Gold trades below record highs as US shutdown drags on; ISM Services PMI softens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold (XAU/USD) gains ground above $3,850 on Friday, trading around $3,875 during the American session, up nearly 0.50% on the day. The metal has recovered from an intraday low near $3,838, finding fresh bids as the US Dollar (USD) eases following Thursday’s modest rebound. The broader outlook for Gold remains tilted to the upside, while pullbacks are likely to attract dip-buying interest, supported by safe-haven demand as the United States (US) government shutdown drags into a third day. Moreover, growing expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates later this month provide an additional tailwind for the metal. Looking ahead, with the September Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report delayed due to the political gridlock in Washington, market attention turned to the US ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), which underscored signs of cooling momentum. The headline index slipped to 50.0 in September, missing expectations of 51.7 and down from 52.0 in August. Market movers: US government shutdown weighs on growth outlook and Fed path The ISM’s report showed the New Orders Index plunged to 50.4 from 56.0, while the Employment Index remained in contraction at 47.2, marking the fourth straight month of job weakness despite a slight uptick from 46.5. In contrast, the S&P Global Services PMI eased only slightly to 54.2 in September from 54.5, and the Composite PMI edged down to 53.9 from 54.6, both still pointing to moderate expansion. Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Thursday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged Congress to pass a “clean continuing resolution” to fund the government and cautioned that “shutting down the government and lowering the GDP… could see a hit to the GDP, a hit to growth and a hit to working America.” According to a White House memo cited by Politico, the US economy risks losing about…

Vietnam central bank predicts credit growth amid crypto adoption

Vietnam central bank predicts credit growth amid crypto adoption

The post Vietnam central bank predicts credit growth amid crypto adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has predicted a big jump in credit growth, a move that is expected to see liquidity into global crypto markets amid rising adoption in the region. According to reports, the country’s central bank foresees a credit growth of about 20% before the end of 2025. Pham Thanh Ha, deputy governor of the central bank, mentioned on Friday that there needs to be more interest rate cuts to encourage economic growth and steer the country out of the uncertainty from the US-imposed tariffs, according to a report by Reuters. United States President Donald Trump introduced an array of tariffs on April 2, which affected the markets and divided observers. While the effect on the market has been limited, Vietnam wants to limit the effect of the uncertainty on its economy. Vietnam makes shift towards digital assets In June, the Vietnamese government announced the legalization of digital assets as part of a broader technology regulation. The National Assembly announced the legalization of the assets, approving it under the Law on Digital Technology Industry on June 14. The law, which is expected to take effect on January 1, 2026, will see Vietnam categorize digital assets as either virtual assets representing real-world tokenized products or crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The law also mandates cybersecurity and anti-money laundering regulations aligned with international standards, an effort likely aimed at addressing concerns brought up by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Vietnam has been on the FATF gray list since 2023, and under the new regulation, the country will be tasked with outlining specific business conditions, classifications, and oversight mechanisms for the different classes of assets. In addition, the country launched a 5-year crypto market pilot that would bring stricter controls to the crypto industry. Under the pilot program,…
