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.

Pavel Durov Funds Lifestyle With Bitcoin Purchased in 2013

Pavel Durov Funds Lifestyle With Bitcoin Purchased in 2013

The post Pavel Durov Funds Lifestyle With Bitcoin Purchased in 2013 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Messaging app Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov says he invested in Bitcoin when the cryptocurrency was in its infancy and has since used his holdings to fund his lifestyle. “I was a big believer in Bitcoin since more or less the start of it. I got to buy my first few thousand Bitcoin in 2013, and I didn’t care much,” the Russian tech entrepreneur said on Lex Fridman’s podcast on Tuesday. He added that he bought at the “local maximum,” which was around $700 per BTC, and “I just threw a couple of million there.” A few people ridiculed him when the price went down after Bitcoin (BTC) tanked below $200 in the bear market that followed, but he told them, “I don’t care.” “I’m not going to sell it. I believe in this thing. I think this is the way money should work. Nobody can confiscate your Bitcoin from you. Nobody can censor you for political reasons.” Pavel Durov talks Bitcoin to Lex Friedman. Source: YouTube Bitcoin helps Durov “stay afloat”  Durov said that he has used his Bitcoin investment to fund his lifestyle. “Some people think if I’m able to rent nice locations or fly private, it’s because I somehow extract money from Telegram,” he said.  “Like I said, Telegram is a money-losing operation for me personally. Bitcoin is something that allowed me to stay afloat.” He predicted that “it will come to a point when Bitcoin is worth $1 million” due to governments “printing money like no tomorrow.” “Nobody’s printing Bitcoin,” he said, adding that it has predictable inflation and will stop being made at a certain point. “Bitcoin is here to stay. All the fiat currencies remain to be seen.” Durov on TON Durov, who was arrested a year ago in France and charged with…

Bad Housing Policy In Seattle Should Be A Warning To Other Cities

Bad Housing Policy In Seattle Should Be A Warning To Other Cities

The post Bad Housing Policy In Seattle Should Be A Warning To Other Cities appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Seattle housing policies are leading to bad outcomes for people who own and operate affordable housing (Photo by Joel W. Rogers/CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images) Corbis via Getty Images A recent Seattle Times article (Renting in Seattle area to get harder as supply of new apartments drops) covers troubling signals in the local housing economy for developers and renters. The story moves through a number of emerging data points indicating what might be the future of rental housing prices into the next 18 months. Opponents of inclusionary mandates for affordability can take some vindication from the story because one of the factors impacting apartment supply and construction is the Seattle’s Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) program which forces the inclusion of lower rent units in all new multifamily housing or the payment of fee in lieu of inclusion. Given the politics in Seattle, it’s doubtful, but a great place for Seattle to begin addressing the changes in the market is to repeal fully the MHA program. Seattle’s housing economy is being buffeted by the trends present across the country, interest rates stuck at over 6%, construction costs going up, and uncertainty from President Trump’s herky-jerky implementation of tariff policies. According to the Seattle Times article, applications for permits to build apartments are down 66% from a year ago. When the pandemic hit in 2020, lending and building of all kinds mostly stopped, but as interest rates dropped to almost zero, and the pandemic eased, building picked up. According to the Seattle Times, there were double the apartments built in 2023 in 2024, more than 10,000. But this year, permits appear to be trending toward their lowest level since 2018. And according to Mortenson’s construction index costs in Seattle are up 46% this year. Inflation unleashed by low interest rates and massive spending…

Little Pepe (LILPEPE) The Frog Token With Big Ambition Little Pepe has quickly become the coin everyone is talking about.

Hashdex Adds Cardano to Crypto Index Fund as ADA Gains SEC Listing Eligibility

Hashdex Adds Cardano to Crypto Index Fund as ADA Gains SEC Listing Eligibility

The post Hashdex Adds Cardano to Crypto Index Fund as ADA Gains SEC Listing Eligibility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Asset manager Hashdex has officially included Cardano in its Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF. This follows ADA’s eligibility under the new generic listing standards, with the altcoin now joining BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and XLM as part of the fund’s holdings. Hashdex Includes Cardano In Crypto Index Fund The asset manager filed a Form 8-K with the SEC, notifying the agency of the inclusion of ADA in the Trust’s holdings, effective as of today. The firm noted that ADA, currently part of the Nasdaq Crypto U.S. Settlement Price Index, will become an eligible asset under the generic listing standards adopted by Nasdaq following SEC approval. In line with this, Hashdex’s Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF will now hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XLM, XRP, and Cardano. The Trust’s holdings will be subject to quarterly rebalancing and any additional Index constituents added from time to time in accordance with the Index’s methodology and the generic listing standards. CoinGape had earlier reported that the SEC approved Hashdex’s expansion of its crypto index fund beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to include other crypto assets. Notably, the weighted holdings place BTC at 72.5%, ETH at 14.8%, XRP at 6.9%, SOL at 4.3%, and ADA at 1.2%. With Cardano now eligible under the generic listing standards, this effectively paves the way for the potential approval of Grayscale’s ADA ETF, which is among the funds that the SEC is likely to decide on this month. It is worth mentioning that ADA already has a futures market on Coinbase, making it eligible for approval under the generic listing standards. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas recently stated that the odds of approval for crypto ETFs that meet the requirements under the generic listing standards are now 100%. As such, this means that the SEC will approve the Grayscale ADA ETF, although the timeline for…

Gold and Bitcoin surge as US stocks falter amid shutodown

The post Gold and Bitcoin surge as US stocks falter amid shutodown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. U.S. stocks opened lower today as Wall Street weighed the immediate impact of the U.S. government’s official shutdown, and as the dollar slipped, gold and Bitcoin soared. Summary US stocks wavered as U.S. government officially shut down on Wednesday ADP data shows private payrolls declined by 32,000 in September, with this a key report for investors eyeing Federal Reserve rate cuts Gold rallied to a record high and Bitcoin broke above $116,890 as safe havens gained. Wall Street traded lower as the first official government shutdown in seven years began, with investors showing some jitters, helping push the Dow Jones Industrial Average down. The blue-chip index was down 80 points. Meanwhile, uncertainty around the economy also meant the benchmark S&P 500 fell 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.6%.

The Dow edged 2.4% higher, while the Nasdaq climbed more than 6% across the month. However, with the gridlock in Washington bringing another pause in government funding and set to see federal agencies cease operations, investors have shown concern. The S&P 500 slipped on Tuesday. A lot of this is due to worries about what happens to scheduled releases of key macroeconomic data. ADP private payrolls fall by 32k Among government agencies set to freeze operations is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was expected to release the U.S. jobs report for September on Friday. The uncertainty now puts the just-released ADP private payrolls report under greater scrutiny in the market. Notably, the ADP data showed private payrolls fell in September, missing estimates. Per the report, the private sector lost 32,000 jobs, against an expected gain of 50,000. Dollar slip sees gold and…
