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.

Gold continues to attract investment flows – ING

Gold continues to attract investment flows – ING

The post Gold continues to attract investment flows – ING appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold edged closer to previous record highs yesterday, while silver prices broke above $45/oz (the highest since May 2011), ING’s commodity experts Ewa Manthey and Warren Patterson note. Demand rises for safe haven assets “The rally was driven by the broad weakness across financial markets amid growing geopolitical concerns and the outlook for the economy. Traders are also closely watching Friday’s release of the US personal consumption expenditures price index – the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge. A tame inflation reading could strengthen the case for interest rate cuts and would further support the precious metals complex.” “Gold has gained almost 43% so far this year, supported by a weaker dollar, central bank buying, inflows into ETF holdings and geopolitical tensions. Total known Gold ETF holdings have increased by more than 12.8moz this year to stand at 96.2moz as of yesterday (the highest since October 2022) amid rising demand for safe haven assets.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/gold-continues-to-attract-investment-flows-ing-202509260954

Chinese stocks are on fire this year, drawing big interest from foreign and domestic investors

Chinese stocks are on fire this year, drawing big interest from foreign and domestic investors

The post Chinese stocks are on fire this year, drawing big interest from foreign and domestic investors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. When Hou Yujie isn’t convincing customers to rent traditional Chinese clothing for photos at the country’s famous Forbidden City, she and her friends are checking stocks. Hou recently put 10% of her money in the market. In just a few days, she earned one month’s salary — and she’s thrilled.  “Interest rates for bank deposits are so low I don’t even want to bother,” Hou said at her shop outside the Beijing tourist site. “Stocks are a hot topic right now.” Chinese stocks, once deemed univestable by many, are luring both local and foreign investors impressed by recent returns. The Shanghai Composite hit a decade high earlier this month. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index is also up 30% in 2025, on pace for its biggest annual advance since 2017 — when it soared nearly 36%. Stock Chart IconStock chart icon Shanghai Composite since 2015 Government signals are encouraging investors to jump in.   “There is a change of policy intention because of the deflationary pressure is getting more and more prominent,” said Hao Hong, CIO at Lotus Asset Management. “The policymakers felt that they need to do something to refocus the government work on economic growth rather than minimize risk.” Chinese investors date the start of the rally, nicknamed the “9.24 performance,” to Sept. 24, 2024 — when the country’s central bank governor and other top financial chiefs held a rare coordinated press briefing, announcing measures to support the economy and the stock market. The authorities held a similar media briefing Monday, declaring China’s capital markets are expanding their “circle of friends” thanks to renewed interest by overseas investors. For the first time in four years, Cathie Wood’s Ark Investment Management funds reopened positions this week in Alibaba, according to a daily trading report. The government is also trying to push…

Bitcoin ETFs Suffer $258M Outflow as ETH Bleeds for 4th Straight Day — Is a Major Crash Imminent?

Bitcoin ETFs Suffer $258M Outflow as ETH Bleeds for 4th Straight Day — Is a Major Crash Imminent?

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded another wave of investor redemptions on September 25, with $258.4 million in net outflows, according to SoSoValue. The withdrawals come just a day after the products staged a strong rebound, showing continued volatility in institutional flows. Bitcoin ETFs Fall to $144B Amid ETH Losing Over $500 Million in 4 days BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was the only bright spot, attracting $79.7 million in fresh inflows. IBIT remains the market leader, with $84.35 billion in net assets and cumulative inflows of $60.86 billion.Bitcoin ETFs Inflow Chart September 25 Source: SoSoValue However, other major issuers saw heavy withdrawals. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) posted the sharpest single-day decline, losing $114.8 million. Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $42.9 million in outflows, while Ark Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB shed $63.05 million. Bitwise’s BITB lost $80.5 million, and VanEck’s HODL fell by $10.1 million. Valkyrie’s BRRR also saw smaller redemptions of $4.9 million. In total, Bitcoin spot ETFs now hold $144.3 billion in assets, representing 6.64% of the cryptocurrency’s market capitalization. Historical cumulative inflows stand at $57.2 billion, with total trading volume on September 25 reaching $5.42 billion. Ethereum products, meanwhile, extended their losing streak for a fourth consecutive day. Ethereum spot ETFs reported $251.2 million in net outflows on September 25, bringing cumulative inflows to $13.37 billion and total assets under management to $25.6 billion, or 5.46% of ETH’s market cap.Ethereum ETF Inflow Chart September 25 Source: SoSoValue Fidelity’s FETH again led the declines, with $158.1 million in outflows. Grayscale’s ETHE lost $30.3 million, its ETH fund saw $26.1 million in redemptions, and Bitwise’s ETHW shed $27.6 million. Smaller withdrawals were also recorded from VanEck’s ETHV, Franklin’s EZET, and 21Shares’ TETH. BlackRock’s ETHA remained flat on the day, reporting no significant flows. The persistent selling follows a difficult stretch for ETH products, as it records over $500 million in outflows in the last 4 days. On September 24, Ethereum ETFs lost $79.4 million, with Fidelity, BlackRock, and Grayscale leading the declines. A day earlier, September 23 saw $140.7 million in redemptions, while September 22 marked $76 million in outflows, largely driven by Fidelity’s FETH. Bitcoin ETFs have also faced sharp swings over the past week. After losing $363 million on September 22 and $244 million on September 23, the products staged a rebound on September 24, posting $241 million in inflows led by BlackRock’s IBIT. The renewed outflows on September 25 suggest continued investor caution, with trading patterns closely tied to macroeconomic conditions, including the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut and upcoming U.S. inflation data. At present, Bitcoin spot ETFs remain the largest driver of institutional activity, but the latest redemptions across both BTC and ETH products highlight the fragility of sentiment in digital asset markets. Bitcoin and Ethereum Extend Losses Amid Heavy ETF Withdrawals The ETF outflow comes amidst the general drop in the crypto market. Crypto markets extended losses this week, with exchange-traded fund (ETF) outflows adding pressure to already fragile sentiment. The global market fell 1.45% in the past 24 hours, pushing its seven-day decline to 6%. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 1.7% to $109,329, erasing nearly 6% over the past week. Ethereum (ETH) slid 1.5% to $3,956, deepening its seven-day loss to 12.5% as leveraged liquidations and ETF delays amplified the decline. The pullback has erased gains from earlier in the month, when Bitcoin briefly logged its second-best September rally in 13 years. Historically, September has been unkind to crypto, with negative returns in eight of the past 11 years. Analysts attribute the pattern to institutional portfolio rebalancing and fiscal year-end adjustments. This year’s cycle appears to be following suit, as profit-taking and macro uncertainty weigh on sentiment. On technical charts, Bitcoin trades below both its 50- and 100-hour moving averages near $113,700, reinforcing bearish momentum. A descending triangle points to support at $107,300, with further downside possible toward $105,200 and $102,800. Resistance remains at $111,100 and $113,700. Ethereum’s technical picture is similarly weak. Its relative strength index (RSI) has plunged from 82 earlier this month to 14.5, its most oversold level since June 2025.Source: X/Crypto Devil Analysts suggest this could trigger a short-term bounce if ETH holds above $3,900. A failure, however, risks a deeper correction toward $3,600 or even the $3,000–$3,300 zone

The crypto trust crisis nobody wants to admit

The crypto trust crisis nobody wants to admit

The post The crypto trust crisis nobody wants to admit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. If you’ve been in web3 for more than five minutes, you’ve either been scammed, almost been scammed, or one bad click away from joining the club. Never mind the big rug pulls that make headlines. Consider the usual stuff like fake MetaMask pop-ups, decentralized exchange swap links that look legit but aren’t, or random bridge pages Google happily shoves to the top of your search.  Summary Scams are exploding — crypto fraud hit at least $9.9B in 2024, with increasingly sophisticated phishing and fake DeFi sites eroding even expert users’ trust. Security is treated as optional — despite available tools, phishing protection isn’t built into core infrastructure, leaving adoption stalled by safety concerns. Quantum risk looms — by 2030, systems must adopt post-quantum cryptography; without it, combined with phishing, web3 faces a credibility crisis. Urgency for industry action — security must be prioritized like scaling or DeFi yields, or else future billion-dollar hacks will force fixes too late. In 2024, crypto scams generated at least $9.9 billion in illicit revenue, with Chainalysis warning the total could hit a record $12.4 billion as more data comes in. Fraud in the sector is getting sharper, with scammers using more convincing phishing sites, fake decentralized finance platforms, and social engineering tactics. The sophistication makes detection harder and losses larger, eroding user trust. Even experienced traders are getting caught. And yet, the broader crypto community often chalks this up to the cost of doing business, which is insane. Imagine if every time you logged in to online banking, there was a one-in-ten chance it was a fake site. People would riot. In web3, however, there’s a shrug; people tweet “stay safe,…
