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.

Alts About to Lambo? Trump Mulls $2K Tariff Payout for Americans

Alts About to Lambo? Trump Mulls $2K Tariff Payout for Americans

The post Alts About to Lambo? Trump Mulls $2K Tariff Payout for Americans appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The long-awaited alt season, a bull-market phase characterized by alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) outshining bitcoin BTC$122,476.54, could occur soon, with President Donald Trump considering giving U.S. citizens “tariff dividends” in a move that may spark riskier financial behavior among recipients. “They’re just starting to kick in,” Trump said about the tariffs in an interview with One America News Network cited by the New York Post, “but ultimately, your tariffs are going to be over a trillion dollars a year.” Trump said his primary goal is to use the revenue to reduce the federal debt. He also said he may distribute some of the funds to Americans as rebates of as much as $2,000, in what he described as “dividend to the people of America”. The potential dividend, coupled with expected Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts, may alleviate household budgetary constraints, spurring a greater tendency to financial risk-taking and possibly boosting investments in altcoins, which have lagged behind the largest cryptocurrencies this year. The CoinDesk 20 Index of largest cryptocurrencies has climbed 48% in 2025, almost seven times as much as the CoinDesk 80 Index of next-largest tokens. The tendency to increase risk-taking was described in a 2023 research paper by Marco Di Maggio at Harvard Kennedy School. It found that more relaxed household budget constraints through stimulus payments increased crypto investing. The paper added that tighter future budget constraints due to higher expected inflation also boosted crypto investing, consistent with hedging motives. There is a precedent, too. Altcoins experienced a dramatic surge in 2020-21 as the government issued stimulus checks to support households during the coronavirus pandemic. Those unexpected freebies were largely channeled into the crypto market, which caused frenzied trading in the altcoin market. Bitcoin’s dominance rate, or its share in the total crypto market cap, collapsed to 39% from 73%…

ETF inflows, ‘debasement trade’ fuel bitcoin’s climb above $123K

ETF inflows, ‘debasement trade’ fuel bitcoin’s climb above $123K

The post ETF inflows, ‘debasement trade’ fuel bitcoin’s climb above $123K appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. The weekend is just about here, and bitcoin is flirting with its all-time high. With the government shutdown delaying new potential crypto ETF launches, we can focus today on the US bitcoin funds that have seen ~$2.2 billion of inflows over the last four trading days. (This is part of a broader “debasement trade” that analysts at a TradFi giant are only now starting to talk about. You’ll have to forgive them for not hearing about this when you did.) When I wrote about the crypto market outlook for October, bitcoin was in the $117,500 range. It has since surged above $123,000 — sitting 1% off its all-time high at midday. As many have turned attention to the expected launches of crypto ETFs holding SOL, LTC, XRP, etc., the government shutdown (and therefore SEC pause) gives us a chance to check back on the classics.   Spot bitcoin ETF inflows rebounded in September after the products bled $750 million in August. Though ether ETFs had stolen the show in August, capital flowing to those funds slowed mightily last month. The above chart doesn’t include Wednesday and Thursday, during which bitcoin ETFs reeled in another $676 million and $627 million, respectively — their highest inflow levels in three weeks.  On the odds of another “Uptober” playing out for BTC, 21Shares’ Matt Mena had noted the expected Fed rate cut later this month as a major tailwind. Bitcoin can benefit as both a “digital gold” hedge in times of fiscal uncertainty and as a high-beta risk asset when liquidity returns, he explained.  Felix mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter how the ongoing government shutdown (and the delay of jobs data, for example) forces market watchers to lean on recent private payrolls…

New Tax Bill Introduced in the US Concerning Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies! Here’s What You Need to Know…

New Tax Bill Introduced in the US Concerning Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies! Here’s What You Need to Know…

The post New Tax Bill Introduced in the US Concerning Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies! Here’s What You Need to Know… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While the government shutdown and its possible effects were the main agenda item in the US, a surprising bill came from the state of New York. Accordingly, a bill introduced in New York state proposes a graduated electricity tax on cryptocurrency miners. At this point, New York State Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Member Anna Kelles introduced Bill S8518, which would impose an electricity consumption tax on Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies that use significant amounts of energy. According to the bill, miners using up to 2.25 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually will not be taxed. BTC mining companies with consumption above this threshold are proposed to be taxed with a two-cent per kWh levy for usage between 2.26 million and 5 million kWh, three cents for usage between 5 million and 10 million kWh, four cents for usage up to 20 million kWh, and five cents for usage exceeding 20 million kWh. The tax revenue will go toward the state’s energy assistance program to support low-income and middle-class households. In contrast, miners using renewable energy sources will not be taxed. The organization noted that the crypto mining industry is facing declining profitability and suggested that the passage of such a bill could push miners to leave New York. Senator Liz Krueger said in a statement: “This bill will ensure that miners who increase New Yorkers’ electricity bills pay their fair share, while also providing direct assistance to households struggling with high electricity bills. The arrival of mining facilities creates an additional annual electricity cost of approximately $79 million for residents and $165 million for small businesses. *This is not investment advice.

S&P 500 up as shutdown delays jobs data

S&P 500 up as shutdown delays jobs data

The post S&P 500 up as shutdown delays jobs data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. stock market extended its rally on Friday as Wall Street continued to downplay the government shutdown and as a wave of AI deals added further momentum. Summary Stock market news today is dominated by headlines on rallying Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq. All major indexes hit record highs even as the government shutdown sees a highly anticipated jobs report delayed. Greed dominates sentiment as AI deals lead to increased investor bets on fresh gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 180 points, and the benchmark S&P 500 hovered near its latest all-time high with a 0.28% uptick. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.25%, and the small-cap index, the Russell 2000, added 0.22%. Gains across equities aside, the crypto market has also recorded a significant surge, led by Bitcoin (BTC). Spot gold also remained near record highs. US stock market news: jobs report delayed Friday, Oct. 3, was a highly anticipated date until the U.S. government entered a shutdown and put the expected release of the September jobs report in jeopardy. As such, the market has largely not cracked after the Bureau of Labor Statistics failed to release the key monthly employment report. While the jobs data represent a metric that policymakers, including the Federal Reserve, closely watch, its delay has put more weight on the recently released ADP private payrolls report. The private jobs data further signaled a slowdown in the U.S. labor market. In September, the private sector saw a 32,000-job decline in hiring. Analysts say stock market in “manic” zone The S&P 500 led the intraday gains after yet another march to a new high. The index has hit a new record 27 times since June. With the stock market showing no signs of an immediate slowdown, market experts say investor greed…

The shutdown meant no jobs report. Here’s what it would have said about the economy

The shutdown meant no jobs report. Here’s what it would have said about the economy

The post The shutdown meant no jobs report. Here’s what it would have said about the economy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Recruiters speak to job seekers at the Appalachian State University internship and job fair in Boone, North Carolina, US, on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025. Allison Joyce | Bloomberg | Getty Images If it just seems like the first Friday of the month wasn’t the same without being able to pore through the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ hotly watched monthly jobs report, don’t worry. You probably didn’t miss much. While the BLS has gone dark with the shutdown in Washington, other reports outside the government data suggest the labor market just plodded along in September. The Dow Jones consensus forecast was for growth of 51,000 in nonfarm payrolls with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.3%. High-frequency data that includes job postings, private payrolls and state-by-state figures for initial jobless claims indicate that while employment growth continues to be anemic, the labor market overall isn’t capsizing, at least not anytime soon. “We fight with the army we have at moments like this, where it’s critically important that we’re figuring out whether the economy is in a moment of transition,” Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said in a CNBC interview Friday. “This is what we have, and thus far it still continues to point to a pretty stable labor market.” The Chicago Fed is one of those organizations looking to provide alternates to BLS data that had come under harsh White House criticism prior to this week’s shutdown. Though the timing was coincidental, the central bank district in September unveiled its own dashboard of data measuring key labor market metrics including unemployment, the hiring rate and the layoff rate. Bottom line: The unemployment rate held flat at 4.3%, though another hundredth of a point or two would have pushed it to 4.4% — the highest since October 2021 but still low…

Het vasthouden boven dit niveau lijkt nu een verdere koersexplosie mogelijk te maken. Wat gaat Dogecoin koers doen in oktober? Oktober heeft zijn bijnaam Uptober nu al waargemaakt. In slechts een aantal dagen tijd wist het grootste gedeelte van de cryptomarkt namelijk aanzienlijke winsten te noteren. In 24 uur tijd wist de market cap van de hele markt al met 1,5% te stijgen richting de $ 4,14 biljoen. Grootheden zoals Bitcoin stegen ook al meer dan 10% en ook Ethereum maakte indruk met een stijging van 14%. Bitcoin en Ethereum koers grafiek (7 dagen) – bron: Coinmarketcap Een van de grote winnaars binnen deze cryptomarkt was echter Dogecoin. Dit project steeg namelijk al meer dan 14,14%. Eind september testte Dogecoin zijn ondersteuning bij de $ 0,20 nog, sindsdien is het al meer dan 25% gestegen. Het zorgde ervoor dat deze Dogecoin koers boven de belangrijke $ 0,251 uitkwam. Standhouding boven dit niveau lijkt nu aanhoudende winsten mogelijk te maken. Dogecoin koers grafiek (7 dagen) – bron: Coinmarketcap Dogecoin nieuws: Dogecoin koers doorbreekt belangrijk weerstandsniveau Nu de DOGE koers voorbij zijn weerstand van de $ 0,251 is gestegen, lijkt er een aanzienlijke opmars voor Dogecoin mogelijk te zijn. Definitieve standhouding boven dit niveau kan namelijk een koersrally in gang zetten. Vanaf dit niveau kan er verder gestegen worden richting de weerstand van de $ 0,262. Zolang de Dogecoin koers in staat is om deze ondersteuning rond de $ 0,251 in stand te houden, kan het meerdere pogingen doen om zijn weg omhoog voort te zetten. Een stijging richting de $ 0,34 lijkt in dat geval nabij te zijn. Als er nu gekeken wordt naar technische indicatoren, heeft de recente koersstijging ervoor gezorgd dat er voornamelijk koopsignalen zijn terug te vinden. Op dit moment geeft alleen de momentum indicator namelijk nog een verkoopsignaal af. De koers is nu echter boven al zijn EMA’s uitgestegen en ook de RSI is begonnen aan een stijging richting het gebied van hoge koopdruk.

De altcoin season index bevindt zich op dit moment rond de 71, wat betekent dat een altcoin season nabij lijkt te zijn. Altcoin season index bevindt zich op 71 – bron: Blockchaincenter Als meme coin kan Dogecoin excelleren tijdens een altcoin season. Als een altcoin season plaatsvindt tijdens deze optimistische fase voor Dogecoin kunnen winsten richting de $ 0,48 zeker een mogelijkheid worden. Dogecoin is in het geval van een altcoin season zeker niet het enige meme coin project dat dat grote winsten door kan maken. Juist een nieuw crypto project met een lage market cap dat zich voortbouwt op Dogecoin kan in dat geval namelijk indruk gaan maken. Een voorbeeld van een dergelijk project is Maxi Doge, een nieuwe crypto die in korte tijd al een grote community van investeerders wist op te bouwen. Maxi Doge ($ MAXI) – sterkere neefje van DOGE Maxi Doge bevindt zich nog in zijn presale fase, maar wist tijdens deze presale fase al indruk te maken met zijn hilarische vormgeving en duidelijke tokenomics. Dit zorgde ervoor dat er binnen korte tijd meer dan $ 2 miljoen aan investeringen werd opgehaald. Maxi Doge vormt het sterkere neefje van DOGE. Dit betekent dat het schattige Doge meme transformeert in een brute bodybuilder versie. Op deze manier omarmt het de zogenaamde gymbro cultuur. Ook zet dit project volledig in op x1000 meme coin mogelijkheden. Op deze manier omarmt het de gemiddelde mindset van een meme coin trader. Over +$2.5M raised. We digging for those green candles , fam. pic.twitter.com/kOa2FRFFoB — MaxiDoge (@MaxiDoge_) October 1, 2025 Naast deze hilarische vormgeving maakte Maxi Doge ook indruk via zijn duidelijke tokenomics. Dit project heeft namelijk duidelijk aangegeven dat het een totale token voorraad heeft van iets meer dan 150 miljard tokens, en dat 40% hiervan te koop zal zijn tijdens de presale fase. De resterende token voorraad wordt verdeeld over 25% voor het Maxi fonds, 40% voor marketing, 15% voor liquiditeit, 15% voor ontwikkeling en 5% voor staking en beloningen. De presale van Maxi Doge heeft inmiddels al meer dan $ 2,7 miljoen aan investeringen weten op te halen. Een duidelijk signaal dat men onder de indruk is van dit project. Deze presale maakt gebruik van de stijgende prijsstrategie. Dit betekent dat investeerders nu nog maar kort de tijd hebben om $MAXI token te kopen tegen de lage prijs van $ 0,00002605 per stuk. Investeerders zullen zich daarom moeten haasten om zich aan te sluiten bij dit veelbelovende presale project.

Gains 3% as SBI Lending and ETF Catalyst Drive Flows

The post Gains 3% as SBI Lending and ETF Catalyst Drive Flows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP extended gains above $3.00 as institutional desks pressed bids into elevated volumes, confirming a short-term floor near $2.99. Japan’s SBI lending rollout and a pending U.S. ETF decision cycle framed the move, with resistance capping at $3.10 after heavy prints. News Background XRP climbed 3% between Oct. 2, 04:00 and Oct. 3, 03:00, rising from $2.98 to $3.03. The rally followed SBI Holdings’ expansion of institutional XRP lending services, signaling Japan’s deepening crypto push. Meanwhile, Ripple CTO David Schwartz announced his departure after 13 years, and seven XRP ETF applications remain under SEC review, with the first decisions expected Oct. 18. Prediction markets now price approval odds above 99%, reinforcing speculative inflows. Price Action Summary XRP traded a $0.15 corridor (4.9% range) between $2.95 and $3.10. At 16:00, price spiked from $3.00 to $3.06 on 212.6M tokens — more than double the daily average. Resistance hardened at $3.10, where 129M in turnover capped upside. XRP consolidated between $3.00–$3.05, signaling accumulation above the $3.00 line.
