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.

China stock rally may fade by year-end as valuations stretch

China stock rally may fade by year-end as valuations stretch

The post China stock rally may fade by year-end as valuations stretch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China’s market run is slowing down. The CSI 300 Index is now forecast to close out 2025 at just 4,675 points, a tiny 1.2% gain from this Monday, according to 16 analysts reportedly surveyed by Bloomberg. That’s after the index already rose 17% this year. And it gets worse. By next June, those same analysts expect a mere 5.5% rise. What began as an AI-fueled breakout is now looking like a stall. This year’s rally has done a little work to wash off the “uninvestable” tag China earned, but global investors still don’t trust it. Geopolitical tensions, old Trump-era policies, and a weak economy are still blocking serious capital from returning. “2025 is about holding ground,” said Haris Khurshid of Karobaar Capital. “Policy support is there, but it’s inconsistent, and global funds are reluctant to re-risk until the geopolitical tone stabilizes.” Tech stocks lead but valuations flash warning signs China’s market jump this year was driven by AI and tech stocks. The Hang Seng Tech Index exploded 42%, with chipmakers Hua Hong Semiconductor and SMIC rising more than 233% and 140%. In September alone, Alibaba jumped almost 50% after throwing out some big AI investment plans. Everyone’s riding the tech wave, but analysts are getting nervous. Twelve of the Bloomberg survey participants called AI the most crowded trade in China right now. “Every yuan of AI capex is being rewarded with a higher stock price, but at some point investors will want to see cash flows and not just announcements,” said Khurshid. Almost all 21 analysts surveyed said foreign capital is crucial if this rally wants to keep moving. Without it, domestic enthusiasm can’t carry the load. But the money is hesitating. Policy shifts, weak macro numbers, and US-China uncertainty still spook long-term investors. Zijin Gold lands record IPO as…

Bitcoin (BTC) Price News: Gains as October Nears

Bitcoin (BTC) Price News: Gains as October Nears

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Price News: Gains as October Nears appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A sharp rally which began late in the weekend continued into U.S. Monday morning trading hours, with BTC$114,470.09 re-taking the $114,000 after having tumbled below $109,000 last Friday. The move suggests crypto traders are responding to the same macroeconomic factors — namely lower interest rates across the West — that’s been driving gold and many stock indexes to new record highs on nearly a daily basis. It also suggests a seasonal factor, with investors shifting focus from historical September weakness to October — sometimes dubbed “Uptober” due to the tendency for price to rise. Bitcoin and other major cryptos — ETH, XRP and SOL among them — are all ahead by roughly 4% over the past 24 hours. Gold is ahead 1.2%, touching yet another record high above $3,850 per ounce and the Nasdaq is higher by 0.8%. Among crypto-related stocks, Coinbase (COIN) and stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) up 5.7% and 7.7%, respectively. Particularly hard hit during last week’s carnage, miners are seeing a sizable bounce. Artificial intelligence and high performance computing focused stocks such as IREN (IREN) and Cipher Mining (CIFR) are both up 4%. MARA Holdings (MARA) — with a greater emphasis on pure bitcoin mining and stacking — is ahead 8%. The small bounce is not surprising, said Paul Howard, senior director at trading firm Wincent, despite the macro environment being a little uncertain. “We have seen institutional and retail support at $110,000 from those that missed BTC at the $100,000 level,” he said in a note. “There is still downside risk until we see a bigger macro move the coming month.” Friday’s jobs report could offer traders a clearer view of the labor market, but a looming government shutdown threatens to delay the release. If the shutdown drags on, the Federal Reserve may be forced to hold…

Bitcoin-hating Vanguard rethinks crypto ban, weighs allowing ETF trading

Bitcoin-hating Vanguard rethinks crypto ban, weighs allowing ETF trading

The post Bitcoin-hating Vanguard rethinks crypto ban, weighs allowing ETF trading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Vanguard Group is considering allowing trading of crypto-focused exchange-traded funds on its platform. The decision would open access for more than 50 million clients, who collectively hold about $11 trillion in assets with the firm. At present, the company does not manage any crypto ETFs, and its clients are blocked from buying Bitcoin or Ether ETFs managed by other firms. A Vanguard spokesperson allegedly confirmed the review to Crypto in America, saying, “We continuously evaluate our brokerage offer, investor preferences, and the evolving regulatory environment. If and when a decision is made, clients will hear directly from Vanguard.” This cautious language reflects years of resistance, during which the firm labeled crypto “immature” and warned that it could cause “havoc” in long-term portfolios. Former Chief Executive Officer Tim Buckley flatly declared the company would never launch a Bitcoin fund. Founder Jack Bogle once went further, telling investors to avoid the coin “like the plague.” Salim Ramji pushes change as new Vanguard chief The discussion around crypto gained new weight when Salim Ramji, a former BlackRock executive, took over as CEO last year. Salim became the first outsider to lead the company, breaking a tradition where every leader had been trained by Bogle himself. Unlike Tim, Salim has shown openness to blockchain and Bitcoin, signaling a break from the hostile stance that defined Vanguard for decades. His leadership coincided with the rollout of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, which stunned Wall Street with record inflows. A few months later, regulators approved the first spot Ether ETFs, adding momentum to the sector. Together, these ETFs now oversee more than $142 billion. BlackRock’s IBIT fund dominates the space with about $84 billion, while nearly $24 billion of that sum came in during 2025 alone, making IBIT one of the top five funds for…

Body Found In D4vd’s Car Was Dead For Weeks, Police Say

Body Found In D4vd’s Car Was Dead For Weeks, Police Say

The post Body Found In D4vd’s Car Was Dead For Weeks, Police Say appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez was likely dead for weeks before her body was found in the trunk of a car registered to the singer D4vd earlier this month, the Los Angeles Police Department told multiple outlets Monday, as authorities investigate how and when she died (D4vd has not been accused of wrongdoing, and no suspect has been identified). D4vd has not commented on the ongoing investigation, and police have not accused him of wrongdoing. (Photo by Timothy Norris/Getty Images for Coachella) Getty Images for Coachella Key Facts LAPD Capt. Scot Williams confirmed to the Los Angeles Times on Monday that Hernandez had been dead for weeks before her body was found on Sept. 8 in the trunk of D4vd’s car, which was impounded at a lot in Hollywood. Police also said the car was ticketed by authorities 11 days before her body was found because it had been parked on a street for so long that it drew complaints from nearby residents, which led to it eventually being impounded at the lot. “I’m not sure exactly when the parking complaints about the Tesla began, but it was closer to the beginning part of August,” Williams told the Los Angeles Times, though it’s unclear when the body came to be in the car. D4vd, a 20-year-old singer whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has not commented since police found a decomposing body in a Tesla vehicle registered under his name, though the singer’s representatives have confirmed to multiple media outlets he is cooperating with authorities. Burke cancelled the remainder of his U.S. and European tour, including performances planned for this month in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and he balked on an album release that was previously planned for Sept. 19. Forbes has reached out to the Los Angeles…

EUR/USD gains above 1.1700 due to rising Fed rate cut bets

The post EUR/USD gains above 1.1700 due to rising Fed rate cut bets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD gains ground as the US Dollar weakens on increasing odds of further Fed rate cuts. US Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation rose to 2.7% YoY in August, compared to 2.6% prior. ECB nears end of easing cycle, with services rebounding but manufacturing slump persisting. EUR/USD extends its gains for the second successive session, trading around 1.1720 during the Asian hours on Monday. The pair appreciates as the US Dollar (USD) weakens after the US August inflation report boosted the likelihood that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will likely deliver another interest rate cut in October. The US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index climbed 2.7% year-over-year in August, compared to 2.6% prior. This figure was in line with analyst forecasts. The core PCE, which excludes food and energy prices, came in at 2.9% YoY during the same period, also matching expectations. The Fed delivered its first cut in the monetary policy meeting in the September meeting, reducing rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.00%-4.25%. Markets are now pricing in nearly an 88% chance of a Fed rate cut in October and a 65% possibility of another reduction in December, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Traders will likely observe the Fedspeak later on Monday, including the speeches from Fed Governor Christopher Waller, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, New York Fed President John Williams, and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic.

SEC Requests Withdrawal of XRP, Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL) ETFs – But This Is Positive News, Here Are the Details

SEC Requests Withdrawal of XRP, Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL) ETFs – But This Is Positive News, Here Are the Details

The post SEC Requests Withdrawal of XRP, Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Solana (SOL) ETFs – But This Is Positive News, Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has made a significant change to its cryptocurrency-based spot ETF applications. SEC Requests ETF Applications to Be Withdrawn Because No Other Method of Approval Required According to Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, the SEC has requested that issuers of spot ETFs for Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) withdraw their existing 19b-4 filings. This development is linked to the recently approved “general listing standards,” which will eliminate the need for separate filings for each fund. The new regulation will expedite the process for ETF applications. The SEC has approved general listing standards for the Nasdaq, Cboe BZX, and NYSE Arca exchanges. These standards streamline the listing process for commodity-based exchange-traded products (ETPs), eliminating the need for individual approvals under Section 19(b). This will facilitate a faster approval process, replacing the previously lengthy application process involving public comment and SEC review. This change paves the way for ETF approvals for major cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Most spot crypto ETFs seen on the market until now have been based solely on Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two crypto assets with the largest market capitalizations. However, the SEC’s new approach paves the way for funds based on leading altcoins like LTC, XRP, SOL, ADA, and DOGE to become available to investors much sooner. *This is not investment advice.
