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.

Government shutdowns usually have little economic impact. This time could be different

Government shutdowns usually have little economic impact. This time could be different

The post Government shutdowns usually have little economic impact. This time could be different appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A view of the U.S. Capitol on September 29, 2025 in Washington, DC. Anna Moneymaker | Getty Images For all the political firestorms they generate, government shutdowns historically have been nonevents for both markets and the economy. This time, though, could be different. That’s because President Donald Trump’s threat to make some federal government furloughs resulting from the shutdown permanent could have longer-lasting impacts on an employment picture that already has been looking precarious. Should Trump follow through on the threat — and successfully weather what almost certainly would be yet another court challenge to his executive authority — it throws a wrench into what otherwise have been much more political than economic events. “We have reason to think that a shutdown this time may not follow past precedent,” Michael McLean, public policy senior analyst at Barclays, said in a client note. If Trump follows through, “this would be a significant departure from past practice and could inject new uncertainty into the economic effect of a shutdown, which otherwise we would expect to be marginal.” Indeed, shutdowns in the past have left little mark other than the political damage done to the party perceived as at fault. Markets have sold off on occasion but then quickly recovered. For growth, most economists calculate the impact as about 0.1 percentage point off gross domestic product for week. Being that the longest closure lasted 35 days, from-late 2018 until the following January, that’s not a lot for a $30 trillion economy. The short-term losses are usually easily recouped in subsequent quarters, according to Bank of America. Labor market trouble However, in this case the labor market already has been wobbly. In particular, the Washington, D.C. region, where a large share of federal government employees call home, has taken a hit from the layoffs…

BLS says no jobs data coming Friday if US government shuts down, Kalshi puts odds at 74%

BLS says no jobs data coming Friday if US government shuts down, Kalshi puts odds at 74%

The post BLS says no jobs data coming Friday if US government shuts down, Kalshi puts odds at 74% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The BLS said it will stop publishing all economic data, including the crucial monthly jobs report set for Friday, if the U.S. government shuts down this week. Prediction platform Kalshi has placed the chance of a shutdown at 74% by Wednesday, raising the prospect that traders, economists, and the Federal Reserve could lose access to the reports they rely on to gauge the economy. This announcement came through a 73‑page contingency plan released on Friday by the Labor Department, which oversees the BLS, outlining how it would suspend operations and public reporting during a funding lapse. The plan stated that it was designed “to ensure that DOL agencies can perform an orderly suspension of programs and operations should a lapse occur, while continuing those limited activities authorized to continue during a lapse.” This blackout would cover all key releases that typically shape market expectations and policy decisions. The department highlighted that the halt could extend well beyond a week if Congress does not reach a deal to keep funding flowing. BLS stops nonfarm payrolls, jobless claims and CPI releases The BLS said in its plan, “BLS will suspend all operations. Economic data that are scheduled to be released during the lapse will not be released.” This directly affects the nonfarm payrolls report due Friday, a monthly gauge of job creation at a time when employment growth has been slowing. The weekly initial jobless claims data, usually released every Thursday, will also be frozen. On October 15, the agency is scheduled to issue the consumer price index, the last inflation reading before the Fed meets October 28‑29. That release would also be blocked if the shutdown continues. “All active data collection activities for BLS surveys will cease,” the plan said, signaling delays for future reports even after the government reopens. “The…

Crypto Weekly Events: all the expected events

Crypto Weekly Events: all the expected events

The post Crypto Weekly Events: all the expected events appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. 09/29 (Monday) Pending home sales are a leading indicator of the American real estate cycle. A figure below expectations would strengthen the scenario of lower rates and thus a more favorable context for risky assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. A better-than-expected result, on the other hand, could push US yields higher and put pressure on the crypto market. 30/09 (Tuesday) China – Official PMI (monthly) Time: 00:30 CESTThe Chinese manufacturing PMI is a barometer of global economic activity. A figure below 50 would indicate contraction and concerns for global growth, with risk-off weighing on crypto. Conversely, a return above the 50 mark could improve market sentiment and support Bitcoin and altcoins. Eurozone – Flash Inflation (est.) Time: 14:00 CEST European inflation is crucial for ECB decisions. A lower-than-expected CPI would increase expectations of a halt to rate hikes, creating a more positive environment for digital assets. A higher figure, on the other hand, could strengthen the euro but weigh on Ethereum and European cryptos due to higher real rates. USA – Federal Budget Deadline (FY25) Time: 18:00 CEST The lack of an agreement on the federal budget risks leading to a shutdown from October 1st. A government shutdown would generate uncertainty in traditional markets and could result in increased volatility for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Historically, shutdowns have mixed effects: an initial risk-off shock and subsequent rebounds if the Fed appears more cautious. 01/10 (Wednesday) Token unlock – Sui (SUI) & EigenLayer (EIGEN) Time: 00:00 CESTLarge token unlocks (SUI ~44M, EIGEN ~38.8M) could increase selling pressure. For the market, this means a risk of short-term declines, followed by possible technical rebounds if demand can absorb the supply. An event to watch closely, especially on exchanges and liquidity pools. Ethereum – “Fusaka” Upgrade on Holesky Testnet Time: 12:00 CESTThe new upgrade introduces…

As ETF Decision Month Approaches, Analyst Makes Incredible XRP Price Prediction!

As ETF Decision Month Approaches, Analyst Makes Incredible XRP Price Prediction!

The post As ETF Decision Month Approaches, Analyst Makes Incredible XRP Price Prediction! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. October, a critical month for altcoins, is just days away. The ETF application deadline for many altcoins, including XRP and Solana (SOL), arrives in October. While the market is waiting for the news of successive altcoin ETF approvals from the SEC, analysts predict that ETF approvals will also contribute positively to prices. At this point, he expects XRP to also receive ETF approval and the price to rise. One of these analysts, Zach Rector, stated that he expects XRP ETFs to reach $10-20 billion in inflows in their first year and the price to reach $20-30. Evaluating the impact of XRP ETFs in his recent YouTube video, the analyst argued that the soon-to-be-launched XRP ETFs will experience large inflows, which could push the price very high. Rector noted that this prediction is supported by XRP market data. The analyst noted that CME Group XRP futures reached a four-month milestone, with nearly 400,000 contracts traded and $18 billion in notional volume. This means that approximately 6 billion XRP changed hands, equivalent to 6% of the total supply. Based on this volatility in XRP futures, Rector estimated that XRP spot ETFs, scheduled to launch in October, could generate inflows between $10 billion and $20 billion in their first year. Stating that even this prediction remains conservative, the analyst claimed that the price could easily reach $20-30 if the inflows he predicted occur. *This is not investment advice.

Blockchain in Insurance – Automating Trust and Transparency

Blockchain in Insurance – Automating Trust and Transparency

The post Blockchain in Insurance – Automating Trust and Transparency appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The insurance sector is based on two pillars: trust and transparency. Policyholders want the insurer to settle claims fairly and timely. They expect insurers to have mechanisms in place to avoid fraud, inefficiency, and regulatory risk. Traditional insurance methods involve delays, paper-based documentation, and incomprehensible processes that annoy customers and increase business expenses. Blockchain technology offers a groundbreaking solution. By injecting automation, transparency, and immutability into insurance operations, blockchain has the potential to revolutionise the industry. Blockchain reduces controversies, accelerates settlements, and enhances security — winning the hearts of both insurers and policyholders. What Is Blockchain in Insurance? Blockchain is an electronically decentralized record book that stores and confirms transactions securely on computers. Each record, or “block,” is stamped with a date and time and linked to the previous one, creating an immutable chain. Applied to insurance, blockchain can make policy data, claims, and customer details tamper-proof. Unlike traditional centralized models, blockchain’s decentralized nature renders it impossible for a single party or entity to manipulate data. This fosters accountability, openness, and trust, all three of which are essential prerequisites for the insurance system. Benefits of Blockchain in Insurance More transparency Immutable records eliminate disputes over altered data End-to-end transparency for customers in policy and claim status Regulators get easy access to reliable compliance data More efficiency Smart contracts verify and pay claims automatically Paper-light operations reduce paper-based system usage Faster procedures save insurer and customer time alike Enhanced security Decentralisation reduces the risk of single-point data breaches Advanced encryption protects sensitive customer data Secure systems minimise downtime from cyber-attacks Reduced fraud threats Verification of customers with decentralized verification Detection of duplicate/exaggerated claims in real-time Insurers can share fraud information securely Some More Benefits of Blockchain Customer Onboarding and KYC Know Your Customer (KYC) is mandated under the IRDAI regulation.
