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.

BTC short-term buyers feel the pinch, but refuse to capitulate

BTC short-term buyers feel the pinch, but refuse to capitulate

The post BTC short-term buyers feel the pinch, but refuse to capitulate appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Short-term BTC buyers are feeling selling pressure, potentially leading to a capitulation. Events like that can cause short-term volatility, eventually setting up the market for new accumulation.  BTC short-term holders felt the pinch of the current downturn. The latest cohorts of buyers are not necessarily panic-selling, but their pressure point is above $111,000. The recent dip of BTC to $109,000 set up conditions for a minor capitulation.  Based on Glassnode data, the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) index for short-term buyers has shifted to a small loss, suggesting some traders may decide to sell and eventually buy lower.  In the past months, steep drops in the NUPL metric coincided with a market local bottom, usually preceding a recovery following the redistribution of coins. BTC continues to go through a cycle with 25% drawdowns and fewer capitulation events on the spot market.  The crypto fear and greed index is at 50 points and is neutral after a few days of fearful trading. However, the index shows the attitude of derivative traders, while holders show more resilience.  Are BTC holders ready to capitulate?  Despite the NUPL metric turning worse for the latest buyers, in general, BTC holders are very far from capitulation. As Cryptopolitan previously reported, the current market cycle has spent more than a year without a big capitulation event, only with short-term liquidations and deleveraging. Short-term BTC buyers may be underwater, but on average, holders are not feeling anxiety and are in the money. | Source: Bitcoin Magazine Pro At current valuations, on average, holders are not even in the anxiety zone, boosted by previous accumulation in the past year. BTC gains support from an ongoing push to hold more coins, avoiding capitulation.  Market downturns usually lead to large-scale position liquidations, but BTC owners are not eager to sell, expecting more…

Top investors shift from AI stocks to government-backed sectors

Top investors shift from AI stocks to government-backed sectors

The post Top investors shift from AI stocks to government-backed sectors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The world’s largest investment firms are redirecting attention from artificial intelligence stocks to longer-term opportunities driven by government spending on infrastructure, defense, and other strategic priorities. While Wall Street debates the sustainability of AI-driven stock gains, major global investors are looking beyond the AI boom toward long-term government spending trends. These spending patterns, driven by geopolitical, technological, and demographic pressures, are expected to reshape markets in the coming years. Asset managers are diversifying their investments across infrastructure, energy transition, healthcare, and defense sectors. Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, which oversees $4.5 trillion in assets, said many investors “underestimated the impact that (stimulus) could have on real and financial assets.” Speaking to the Reuters Global Markets Forum, Haefele described how his firm is aligning its thematic investments with government spending, focusing on power, resources, healthcare, and defense sectors. Government spending initiatives in the U.S. and Europe are fueling this investment shift. In July, the United States enacted a significant tax-cut and spending package that will increase government debt by trillions. The law extends tax reductions from President Donald Trump’s first term while boosting border security and defense spending. It also reduces Medicare and Medicaid funding. Equally bold programs are emerging from European governments Germany has introduced a 500-billion-euro ($586 billion) infrastructure fund designed to bypass its tight fiscal constraints. Separately, NATO countries have agreed to boost defense spending to 3.5% of GDP. Antonio Cavarero, head of investments at Generali Asset Management, which manages $430 billion in assets, said these fiscal commitments are unusual in their scale and duration. “Fiscal stimulus is always a big element of the performance of the financial markets,” Cavarero noted. He added that the structural changes these programs create would continue for years, though “it takes time before those moneys actually percolate…

The CEO of the Most Popular Altcoin of Recent Times Responds to Major Criticism and Doubts!

The CEO of the Most Popular Altcoin of Recent Times Responds to Major Criticism and Doubts!

The post The CEO of the Most Popular Altcoin of Recent Times Responds to Major Criticism and Doubts! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In an interview with Mable, founder of social protocol Trends, Aster CEO Leonard responded to criticisms that “96% of ASTER tokens are held by a small number of addresses” seen in on-chain data. Leonard maintained that the team doesn’t control these wallets. The CEO noted that, according to token economics, approximately 80% of the ASTER supply is locked and traceable on-chain, and that airdrop addresses account for approximately 40% of the total supply. Other major addresses include spot deposits made by users on exchanges. According to Leonard, some investors are holding their tokens in platform wallets, ready for sale, anticipating price increases. Leonard explained that the current circulating supply is only 10%, including a 1:1 conversion share from existing users (10%) and the initial airdrop distribution (8%). He explained that the remaining tokens are being released gradually as announced in the documentation and can be verified on-chain. He explained that the concentration of contract addresses creates the perception that “the team controls all the tokens,” but in reality, the majority of these tokens belong to users. Leonard noted that YZi Labs is Aster’s sole private investor and has provided significant support to the team despite its small stake. The CEO stated that the company has no intention of liquidating the funds, saying, “Our performance in the BNB ecosystem since the tokenization event has proven the value of our project. Even without mandatory unlocks, YZi Labs has no incentive to sell. Furthermore, the amount of tokens they can receive is limited to a small portion of the 5% team distribution share, as their investment was not direct tokens, but rather an equity investment in the company.” *This is not investment advice.

Crypto Market Weekly Review (September 22-28): BTC Drops 2.68% Weekly, Resurfacing Doubts of Cycle Peak

Crypto Market Weekly Review (September 22-28): BTC Drops 2.68% Weekly, Resurfacing Doubts of Cycle Peak

Author: 0xBrooker This week, BTC is still in the market volatility after the interest rate cut. With the continued selling pressure and the fading buying power, the price has fallen again. The main factors involved in BTC pricing include fluctuations in risk appetite caused by the unclear path of interest rate cuts, continued selling by long-term investors, the shift of buying power from inflow to outflow, leverage cleanup in the contract market, and end-of-quarter volatility in the futures market. The Nasdaq is also in the market turmoil after the interest rate cut, but BTC is affected by other factors and is significantly weaker than the Nasdaq in terms of the duration and magnitude of its decline. During the week-long adjustment, BTC once again fell below the key support level of $110,000 and recovered over the weekend. After experiencing more than $2 billion in margin calls throughout the week, the total open interest in the contract market fell to $77.1 billion. After the rate cut, long-term investors intensified their selling, becoming a significant force driving downward pricing. Has BTC peaked at $124,000? The market will provide the answer in Q4. BTC daily trend Policy, macro-financial and economic data Important U.S. economic and employment data released this week include initial claims for the week of September 20 and August core PCE. Initial jobless claims for the week ended September 20th, released Thursday, came in at 218,000, below expectations of 235,000 and the previous reading of 232,000. Continuing claims, at 1.93 million, remained above the critical 1.9 million mark. This suggests continued employment pressure remains high, but the situation hasn't deteriorated beyond expectations. This helps maintain expectations of a rate cut. US stocks closed higher that day. On Friday, August core PCE data was released. The core PCE price index rose by 0.2% month-over-month, in line with expectations, and by 2.9% year-over-year, in line with expectations. However, personal spending rose by 0.6% month-over-month, slightly exceeding the expected 0.5%. This indicates that rising inflation was within expectations, but there are still concerns. Last week, Powell stated that the Fed's emphasis on the deteriorating labor market situation did not mean it would completely ignore inflation data. This left the market in a precarious position, having already priced in three rate cuts totaling 75 basis points this year. Consequently, traders took profits ahead of the release of key data this week, pushing the market lower. The decline only halted and led to a slight rebound after the release of expected data on Thursday and Friday. After a week of volatility, the market slightly lowered its expectations for rate cuts. The US dollar index rebounded sharply by 0.53% this week after a series of declines, putting downward pressure on stock and crypto asset valuations. The 2-year US Treasury bond rebounded by 1.65%, and the 10-year US Treasury bond rebounded by 1.21%, dampening the optimism that "rate cuts equal easing liquidity" and exerting some pressure on the stock market and long-term assets. As of the weekend, FedWatch showed that the market still supports two 50 basis point rate cuts before the end of the year, but the probability has slightly decreased compared to last week. Both US stocks and Bitcoin fell before the release of key data this past week, stabilizing and rebounding slightly after the releases, but still showing slight losses for the week. Crypto Market BTC fell in tandem with the Nasdaq this week, but its 2.68% drop was far greater than the Nasdaq's 0.65%. Technically, BTC has fallen below the 120-day moving average this week, and has returned to the "Trump bottom" (US$90,000-110,000) where it has been lingering for 10 months, indicating that medium-term prices may weaken. ETH fell below the rising channel since April and once fell below the important key support level of $4,000. The weakening of BTC is the result of the combined effect of multiple factors. First, the decline in risk appetite stemming from lowered expectations for interest rate cuts. This ultimately manifested itself in a shift in funds flowing into the BTC Spot ETF channel, with limited financing capabilities for DATs leading to reduced buying power. Secondly, there's the curse of the cyclical law. Historically, BTC's peak often occurs 525 ± 7 days after the halving, corresponding to the 21st of this month. We've noticed that long-term investors, who strictly adhere to the cyclical law, have continued to sell, even after the price broke through this week. This has undoubtedly accelerated the price decline. Finally, there was the liquidation of leverage in the futures market. Around the time of the mid-September interest rate cut, open interest in BTC and ETH futures approached record highs. This week, prices broke through these levels, eliminating tens of billions of yuan in open interest, with margin calls exceeding $2 billion. BTC perpetual contract liquidation statistics The current Crypto market has undergone tremendous changes, with different factors pointing to support and opposition to the judgment that it has reached its peak. Institutional and US stock funds have become the primary buyers, and while cryptocurrency funds are retreating, cyclical investors, driven by long-term trends, still hold significant amounts of BTC, and their impact on the cycle remains significant. With over 95% of BTC already in circulation, the impact of production cuts on these assets is minimal. Another factor that cannot be ignored is that the Federal Reserve is indeed pushing for interest rate cuts, which will benefit high-risk assets in the long term. We tend to respect the power of all parties and wait and see how the situation develops while controlling our positions. Long-term traders trading according to the "cycle law" are selling off their positions in an orderly manner, becoming the biggest short sellers. Their performance in the rest of this month and before and after another interest rate cut in October will be very important. At the same time, we also need to pay close attention to economic and employment data that affect expectations of interest rate cuts and whether funds into ETFs and DATs companies can resume inflows in a timely manner. Cycle indicators According to eMerge Engine, the EMC BTC Cycle Metrics indicator is 0, which is in the rising relay period.
