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.

USD/CAD maintains position near 1.3950 ahead of US PCE inflation data

USD/CAD maintains position near 1.3950 ahead of US PCE inflation data

The post USD/CAD maintains position near 1.3950 ahead of US PCE inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD hovers near the four-month high of 1.3949, reached on Thursday. The US Dollar receives support as strong economic data may slow the Fed’s interest rate cuts. Canada has finalized its first Indo-Pacific trade deal under Prime Minister Mark Carney, aiming to reduce reliance on the US. USD/CAD remains stronger for the fifth consecutive day, trading around 1.3940 during the Asian hours on Friday. The pair holds ground near the four-month high of 1.3949, which was recorded on Thursday, after the stronger-than-expected economic data from the United States (US). Focus shifts toward Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, due later on Friday. Robust economic data may prompt the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to adopt a more cautious approach to cutting interest rates. The US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Annualized grew 3.8% in the second quarter (Q2), coming in above the previous estimate and the estimation of 3.3%. Meanwhile, the GDP Price Index rose 2.1% in the same period, as compared to the expected and previous 2.0% growth. US Initial Jobless Claims declined to 218K last week, the lowest since July. The market expectations were an increase to 235K from 232K previously. Fed Bank of Kansas City President Jeffrey Schmid said on Thursday that the Fed is currently close to meeting its mandates, but added that policy must be forward-looking. Schmid added that the rate cut was appropriate to offset risks to the labor market, though inflation is still too high and the current job market is largely in balance, per Reuters. However, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee noted that he was not eager to do a lot more policy easing while inflation is above target and moving the wrong way. Canadian Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu said on Thursday that Canada has signed its…

Solana Price in Danger of Correction to $120 as Longs Risk Getting Squeezed

The post Solana Price in Danger of Correction to $120 as Longs Risk Getting Squeezed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key takeaways: Solana (SOL) had one of its worst weeks of 2025, down 18% in the past seven days, trailing only Hyperliquid among the top 20 crypto assets in losses. The drop puts SOL/USD on track for its lowest weekly candle close since late August, fueling speculation over a push toward the $120 level. SOL/USD daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView CoinGlass data shows Solana’s futures open interest (OI) hit a record 71.8 million SOL with $14.5 billion at the time of writing on Thursday. Similarly, perpetual funding rates flipped positive to 0.0043% from -0.0065% with the jump in OI.   Related: Australian fitness firm tanks 21% on Solana treasury gamble Higher open interest and rising funding rates amid falling prices could result in an overleveraged market where the longs are caught off guard.

Net taker volume leans sell-heavy, showing more aggressive sellers are stepping in. Meanwhile, spot CVD dropped lower, suggesting that the sell-off is mostly spot-driven, which could also be interpreted as in the bears’ favor.

As Cointelegraph reported, Solana’s declining network activity and competition from other layer-1 blockchains are significant headwinds for any short-term price gains.  SOL price technicals: Will Solana revisit $120? SOL price action between Aug. 2 and Thursday has led to a developing inverted V-shaped pattern on the daily chart. Bears booked profits on this rally, resulting in a sharp correction to the current levels and halfway to the bottom of…
