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.

Philippine businesses slow to adopt AI, study shows

The post Philippine businesses slow to adopt AI, study shows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > Philippine businesses slow to adopt AI, study shows Philippine businesses remain slow in adopting artificial intelligence (AI) despite widespread access to computers and the Internet, according to a study by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). The new study found that adoption is concentrated among larger firms in urban centers, particularly in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sectors, leaving most industries and regions behind. The study reported that “in the Philippines, the integration of AI into business and industry is still in its nascent stages, with the country ranking below average in AI readiness compared to other Asia-Pacific nations.” According to the 2023 Asia-Pacific AI Readiness Index, “the Philippines ranks 12th out of the 12 countries included in the index, with an overall AI Readiness score of 35.7 out of 100.” Business readiness is also low: “In terms of business readiness, the Philippines (25.4) ranks 10th out of 12 countries with a score of 25.4 out of 100.” The study, entitled Readiness for AI Adoption of Philippine Business and Industry: The Government’s Role in Fostering Innovation- and AI-Driven Industrial Development, highlighted a gap between basic and advanced technology use. It noted that “while basic digital infrastructure is widespread, with 90.8 percent of establishments having computers and 81 percent having internet access, advanced technology adoption remains limited.” Only “21.7%” of establishments have websites and “31.2%” engage in e-commerce. AI adoption rates remain low and concentrated “When it comes to specific AI adoption, the paper reports that 14.9 percent of firms use AI and ML technologies.” This places the Philippines behind other technologies: “This places AI as the fourth most adopted FIRe technology, behind Internet of Things (IoT), 5G networks, and automation.” Overall uptake remains low: “The overall adoption…

Ex-Goldman Sachs Exec Sees Bitcoin Bull Market Arriving Later Than Expected

Ex-Goldman Sachs Exec Sees Bitcoin Bull Market Arriving Later Than Expected

The post Ex-Goldman Sachs Exec Sees Bitcoin Bull Market Arriving Later Than Expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin 29 September 2025 | 07:01 Investors counting on a major rally in 2025 may need to reset their timelines. Raoul Pal, macro strategist and former Goldman Sachs executive, believes the cycle driving Bitcoin has shifted – and that the next market peak won’t appear until mid-2026. Pal challenges the idea that halvings dictate Bitcoin’s trajectory. Instead, he argues the cryptocurrency is tethered to the global business cycle, with the U.S. Institute for Supply Management (ISM) index acting as a guide. The ISM has lingered below the 50 mark for much of the past three years, signaling economic contraction. That unusually long slump, Pal says, has weighed heavily on risk assets, including Bitcoin. Another factor he highlights is U.S. debt policy. When Treasury maturities were extended from four years to five between 2021 and 2022, the entire rhythm of the business cycle was pushed back. According to Pal, that structural change explains why the familiar four-year pattern has effectively morphed into a five-year one. Bitcoin has mirrored this delay. Despite occasional bursts of momentum, Pal notes the global economy has not yet entered a true expansionary phase, and the crypto market is reflecting that reality. His forecast now points to the second quarter of 2026 as the likeliest window for the next explosive rally. The takeaway? For Pal, Bitcoin remains cyclical – but the clock has been reset. Patience, rather than expectation of an imminent 2025 bull run, may be the key for investors this time around.

crypto treasury companies: Expert Analysis and Market Predictions

crypto treasury companies: Expert Analysis and Market Predictions

The post crypto treasury companies: Expert Analysis and Market Predictions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Terrill Dicki Sep 28, 2025 16:42 Cryptocurrency Thinking… Thinking… The user wants me to write an article about “Crypto treasury companies pose a similar risk to the 2000s dotcom bust” for September 28, 2025. This is a future date relative to my knowledge cutoff (October 2024), so I should search for recent information about crypto treasury companies and any concerns about systemic risks they might pose. Let me search for information about crypto treasury companies and any comparisons to the dotcom bust. Crypto Treasury Companies Mirror Dotcom-Era Investment Trust Mania The crypto treasury company phenomenon has reached a critical mass, with hundreds of firms adopting the same one-directional trade: raise equity, buy crypto, repeat. This pattern bears an uncanny resemblance to the investment trust frenzy that preceded the 1929 crash and the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s, when companies could become public via an IPO and raise substantial amounts of money even without profits or, in some cases, any material revenue or finished product. Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs) now account for over $100 billion in digital assets, representing a significant concentration of risk in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Stocks of firms announcing crypto treasury pivots jump 150% on average within 24 hours, echoing the speculative fervor that characterized the dotcom era when shares of Qualcomm rose in value by 2,619%, and 12 other large-cap stocks each rose over 1,000% in value in 1999. The Treasury Playbook: Growth at Any Cost The crypto treasury model follows a seductive yet dangerous script. Strategy chairman and former CEO Michael Saylor’s firm currently owns 580,250 bitcoin worth $60 billion, but has a market capitalization of $102.4 billion, meaning the firm is trading for 1.7x the value of its bitcoin. This premium valuation…

Hypurr NFTs Sells For Over $400,000 Following Airdrop From Hyperliquid

Hypurr NFTs Sells For Over $400,000 Following Airdrop From Hyperliquid

The post Hypurr NFTs Sells For Over $400,000 Following Airdrop From Hyperliquid appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Early adopters of the perpetuals-focused layer-1 blockchain Hyperliquid were rewarded handsomely on Sunday after the Hyper Foundation finally airdropped the much-awaited Hypurr non-fungible token collection.  At the time of writing, the Hypurr NFTs have a current floor price of around 1,458 Hyperliquid (HYPE), or $68,700, according to OpenSea data. However, there have already been eye-watering sales well above that range. The Hypurr #21 NFT with the extremely rare “Knight Ghost Armor” and “Knight Helm Ghost” traits went for 9,999 HYPE worth $467,000 on Sept. 28.  Demand was also so high before launch that certain NFTs were sold for as much as $88,000 via OTC desks earlier this month, per DripTrade data. Such trades were possible through DripTrade’s OTC system, which enables buyers and sellers to agree on a set sale price before launch. The seller must then fulfill the trade within seven days of receiving the NFT, or forfeit collateral put forward as part of the agreement. The whopping $467,000 sake of Hypurr NFT #21. Source: OpenSea Amid a cost-of-living crisis globally, the novelty of receiving a digital cat picture for free, worth more than some people’s annual salary, was not lost on the crypto community. “CT is really a special place in hell. Average person struggling to get by or buy groceries and you have people posting their $50,000 hyperliquid cat NFTs they got for free,” said X user MoonOverlord.

Who Owns BlockDAG? The Real Identity Behind BlockDAG’s $410M Presale Success

Who Owns BlockDAG? The Real Identity Behind BlockDAG’s $410M Presale Success

The post Who Owns BlockDAG? The Real Identity Behind BlockDAG’s $410M Presale Success appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In a crypto industry crowded with anonymous teams, vague promises, and hype-driven speculation, BlockDAG Network stands out by putting a real name and real experience at the forefront. It isn’t controlled by a DAO or steered by unknown figures hiding behind avatars. Instead, it’s led by Antony Turner, a financial expert who has spent years building credible ventures in both traditional finance and blockchain. From running a publicly traded company to creating one of Switzerland’s earliest structured crypto index funds, Turner brings clarity, compliance, and delivery to a space that often lacks all three. BlockDAG’s current presale tells a strong story of investor confidence: over $410 million raised, more than 26.5 billion coins sold, and a current batch price $0.0013, showing a massive ROI since Batch 1. This level of traction reflects trust not in anonymous hype, but in transparent leadership. BlockDAG: Antony Turner’s Strategy for Scalable Layer 1 Growth Antony Turner is not just another name attached to a crypto project; he’s a career builder of serious financial systems. Before launching BlockDAG Network, Turner served as the Chief Operating Officer of Spirit Blockchain, a publicly listed investment firm focused on blockchain assets. In that role, he helped shape company operations and oversee investments with an eye toward regulatory clarity and investor security. His experience isn’t limited to one sector. Long before BlockDAG, Turner launched SwissOne Capital, Switzerland’s first equally weighted crypto index fund, which offered a structured entry point for institutional investors into the crypto space. This kind of background is rare. Few crypto founders can show a track record of regulated, performance-driven ventures. Turner doesn’t just understand technology; he understands what it takes to build trust in financial products. His reputation, built in traditional and digital finance, forms the bedrock of what BlockDAG offers: credibility over promises, results…

Crypto Sentiment Index Shifts from Fear to Neutral at 50

Crypto Sentiment Index Shifts from Fear to Neutral at 50

The post Crypto Sentiment Index Shifts from Fear to Neutral at 50 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Crypto sentiment index shifts from “Fear” to “Neutral”. Market reflects broader regulatory and market changes. Ethereum, BTC, and BNB chain see notable activity. On September 29, 2025, the cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index rose to a neutral 50 from 37, reflecting a shift in market sentiment. This sentiment change suggests improving market conditions, influenced by regulatory coordination and heightened activity in major digital assets like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Fear and Greed Index Hits Neutral with Ethereum Surge The Fear and Greed Index reached 50, marking a major sentiment shift in cryptocurrency, influenced by collective market dynamics. Ethereum transaction volumes and BSC activity contributed to this trend. No single leadership statement triggered this, but market movements across multiple areas aligned with regulatory expectations. The Ethereum network recorded an uptick in transaction volumes, and BSC activity increased, reflecting investor confidence. This shift highlights potentially increased institutional interest due to upcoming regulatory clarity measures. “Both parties will provide clarity to the market through close cooperation and will turn the unique regulatory structure of the United States into an advantage for market participants, investors, and the public.” — Paul S. Atkins, Chairman, U.S. SEC Ethereum and Regulatory Changes Drive Market Confidence Did you know? Rapid shifts in the Fear and Greed Index often align with regulatory talks or infrastructure upgrades, influencing investor perceptions and on-chain activity. Ethereum (ETH) currently trades at $4,120.39, with a market cap of $497.34 billion, retaining 12.89% dominance. According to CoinMarketCap, ETH’s 24-hour trading volume reached $24.50 billion, marking a 27.15% increase. Notably, its price rose by 3.02% over the past 24 hours and surged 65.49% over 90 days.

XRP Price To Hit $20-$30 by 2026, Says Top Analyst

XRP Price To Hit $20-$30 by 2026, Says Top Analyst

The post XRP Price To Hit $20-$30 by 2026, Says Top Analyst appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The post XRP Price To Hit $20-$30 by 2026, Says Top Analyst appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News XRP has spent the past two months consolidating after a sharp run earlier this year, with prices moving between $2.70 and $3.00. However, analyst Zach Rector expects major inflows into the soon-to-launch XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which he believes could support much higher prices. Why the High Targets Remain Rector argues that the data backs up his stance. The CME Group reported that XRP futures have reached a four-month milestone, with nearly 400,000 contracts traded and $18 billion in notional volume. This equals about 6 billion XRP changing hands, or 6% of the total supply. Based on this activity, Rector projects that the XRP spot ETFs set to launch in October could attract between $10 and $20 billion in inflows during their first year. He sees this level of demand as enough to push XRP into a $20 to $30 price range by 2026, even under conservative assumptions. Short-term volatility, he says, should be treated as “noise” compared to the bigger picture of institutional adoption. Community and Market Sentiment Despite the pullback, the XRP community continues to show strength. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently praised the turnout at an event in South Korea, calling it a reflection of the asset’s global following. Upcoming milestones include Ripple’s Swell conference in November, where new partnerships may be highlighted. ETFs and Institutional Demand Several crypto ETFs have been approved this year, expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to include assets such as XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Rector says the inclusion of XRP in funds like the Nasdaq Crypto Index is a strong signal of growing institutional confidence. He argues that inflows from Wall Street firms could act as a supply shock since most XRP is held…

Singapore, UAE Rank as Most Crypto-Obsessed Nations: ApeX Report

Singapore and the United Arab Emirates rank globally as the most “crypto-obsessed” nations, according to a recent report by ApeX Protocol. Singapore claimed the number one spot with a composite score of 100, driven by 24.4% of its population owning crypto and leading the world in search activity, with 2,000 crypto-related queries per 100,000 people. In 2021, only 11% of Singaporeans held digital assets, but that figure more than doubled by the following year. Close behind, the UAE scored 99.7, ranking first globally for crypto ownership at 25.3%. The Gulf nation saw a 210% increase in adoption since 2019, with a significant boom in 2022 when over 34% of the population reported holding crypto.

Summary of ApeX’s report. Source: ApeX Related: Nation-state Bitcoin adoption to enter ‘suddenly’ phase soon The US leads in ATM availability The United States ranked third with a score of 98.5, backed by strong infrastructure.
