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.

US President Donald Trump, who came to the fore with his support for Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, continues to erase the traces of the Biden era. At this point, Trump made significant changes to many high-level organizations, two of which were the SEC and the CFTC. The former chairmen of the SEC and CFTC resigned after Trump took office. Paul Atkins was chosen as the new chair for the SEC, while the CFTC still hasn’t chosen a chair. Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that the White House is considering nominating former CFTC chair Jill Sommers and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) President Kyle Hauptman to be CFTC chair.

USD holds August range after rally – BBH

USD holds August range after rally – BBH

The post USD holds August range after rally – BBH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Dollar (USD) is consolidating yesterday’s gains while US equity futures steadied after two small down days. USD rallied across the board yesterday as the US swaps curve realigned with the Fed’s more measured easing guidance. We expect USD to stabilize within its August range until next week’s US jobs data. The labor market data is the most important driver for the Fed and the most critical data for monitoring downside risks to the economy now, BBH FX analysts report. Fundamental downtrend in USD intact “Worsening US labor market conditions will lead to a downward adjustment to the swaps curve against USD. But if the labor market proves resilient, upside for USD is limited, because the swaps curve already implies a cautious Fed easing cycle. Beyond the near-term, the fundamental downtrend in USD is intact, weighed down by US protectionist trade policies.” “Second-tier US economic data are due today and unlikely to generate much volatility: the third Q2 GDP estimate, goods trade balance, durable goods orders, existing home sales, weekly claims, and Kansas City Fed manufacturing index.” “Fed speakers include: Miran, Goolsbee, Williams, Schmid, Bowman, Barr, Logan and, Daly. Of note, the New York Fed is hosting today its annual conference on the international role of the US dollar. Our take is that US protectionist trade policies, political interference with the Fed’s independence, and doubts about the impartiality of key economic data following the sacking of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) head undermine the dollar’s global role.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/usd-holds-august-range-after-rally-bbh-202509250919

Shiba Inu: 1,156,929 SHIB Destroyed as Burn Rate Skyrockets 396%

The post Shiba Inu: 1,156,929 SHIB Destroyed as Burn Rate Skyrockets 396% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to data from Shibburn, in the last 24 hours, 1,156,929 SHIB tokens have been burned, contributing to a 396.9% surge in the daily burn rate. With over 1.1 million tokens slashed from Shiba Inu’s total supply, what remains is 589,247,704,216,787 SHIB tokens as the dog coin’s total supply. At its inception, Shiba Inu had one quadrillion tokens as its total supply, with the recent figure implying that over 410 trillion tokens have been burned from the Shiba Inu’s total supply.

On Sept. 24, only 232,829 SHIB were burned, a 13.67% drop from the day before, when about 269,706 SHIB tokens were burned. The slowing down of burns this week might have been contributed to by a large market sell-off at the week’s start, with more than $1.7 billion in liquidations, which might have impacted investor sentiment. So far in the last seven days, 3,043,689 SHIB have been burned, marking a 0.13% drop in burn rate. Shiba Inu price  Shiba Inu has seen lackluster price trading this week so far, after it saw three straight days of dropping from Sunday to Tuesday, at which it fell to a low of $0.00001179 at one point, on Sept. 22.

EUR/JPY stays muted near 175.00 following Germany’s GfK Consumer Confidence

EUR/JPY stays muted near 175.00 following Germany’s GfK Consumer Confidence

The post EUR/JPY stays muted near 175.00 following Germany’s GfK Consumer Confidence appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/JPY remains steady as consumer confidence remains weak in Germany. Germany’s GfK Consumer Confidence improved to -22.3 in October, surpassing expectations of -23.3. BoJ’s Meeting Minutes indicated that policymakers remain open to further rate hikes if economic and inflation trends evolve as expected. EUR/JPY edges lower after three days of gains, trading around 174.70 during the European hours on Thursday. The currency cross holds losses as the Euro (EUR) moves little following the GfK Consumer Confidence from Germany. The reading showed weak consumer confidence but improved to -22.3 in October, better-than-expected -23.3 from the previous reading of -23.5 (revised from 23.6). The IFO Institute reported on Wednesday that the headline German Business Climate Index unexpectedly fell to 87.7 in September from 89.0 in August. The data undermined the market expectations of 89.3. This came after a mixed HCOB Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) survey, showing Eurozone private sector growth in September, driven by stronger services as manufacturing fell back into contraction. The EUR/JPY cross loses ground as the Japanese Yen (JPY) advances on the hawkish Bank of Japan (BoJ) Meeting Minutes. The minutes showed policymakers remain inclined to hike rates further if economic and inflation trends unfold as anticipated. Many members said the US–Japan trade deal reduced uncertainty in the outlook, but tariffs still need scrutiny for their impact on the economy and prices. Japan’s Corporate Service Price Index, which measures the prices companies charge each other for services, increased 2.7% year-over-year in August, up from a revised 2.6% rise in July. This leading indicator of service-sector inflation suggests that rising labor costs are likely to support the BoJ’s goal of sustaining inflation near its 2% target. Investors are now turning their attention to Friday’s Tokyo inflation report, a key indicator of nationwide trends, for further guidance on policy direction. Euro…

Bears at Risk as Liquidity Builds Above $4K

Bears at Risk as Liquidity Builds Above $4K

The post Bears at Risk as Liquidity Builds Above $4K appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoin Analysis Ethereum (ETH) is under pressure after slipping back toward the $4,000 mark, sparking debate among analysts on whether the latest decline represents the final stage of its correction. While bearish liquidations have dominated the past week, several signals now suggest that ETH may be approaching a bottom and setting up for a rebound. Analysts Point to $3,800 as Key Level Market strategist Michaël van de Poppe believes that Ethereum’s downside momentum is close to exhausting itself. In his latest outlook, he identified the $3,800 zone as the critical area where ETH is likely to stabilize. He suggested that another 5% drop from current levels could complete the move before a recovery begins, emphasizing that the green zone on his chart represents the area to watch for a rebound. ETH has already retraced from highs above $4,800 earlier this month, and traders are closely monitoring whether $3,800 – $3,900 will act as a solid base for renewed momentum. On-chain data paints an interesting picture of the current liquidation environment. Crypto Rover highlighted that long positions have been flushed out, with the majority of liquidity now sitting above the current market price. This means that while bulls have been cleared out during the recent correction, the opportunity now exists for bears to be squeezed if the market pushes higher. Such setups often occur in crypto markets when leverage becomes imbalanced, and liquidation clusters create fuel for sharp price reversals. If ETH starts moving upward, these short liquidations could accelerate the rally. Funding Rates Turn Negative – A Historical Signal Another key indicator comes from futures markets. Funding rates on ETH have flipped into negative territory, meaning that short traders are paying longs to maintain their positions. Historically, this scenario has often marked local bottoms. Crypto Rover pointed out that past…

How US Jobless Claims, GDP Growth, PCE Inflation Data Impact Crypto Market

How US Jobless Claims, GDP Growth, PCE Inflation Data Impact Crypto Market

The post How US Jobless Claims, GDP Growth, PCE Inflation Data Impact Crypto Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways: The U.S. jobless claims were reported lower than expected. Other economic data, including U.S. GDP growth and PCE inflation, came in hotter than expected. These macroeconomic factors could weigh on the already fragile crypto market. The crypto market suffered another volatile day on Thursday, whereby traders absorbed robust-than-anticipated U.S. jobless claims data, GDP growth, PCE inflation, and comments by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Meanwhile, CoinGlass data demonstrated that over $542 million leveraged positions were realized in 24 hours, with Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana topping the list of losers. U.S. Economic Data Effect on Crypto Market The initial jobless claims, which were posted to be made through the week ending September 20, declined to 218,000, compared to 235,000 forecasts. The report revealed that the labor market is quite resilient, and this strengthened the opinion that the U.S. economy is not decelerating as fast as may be desired. For the crypto market, the decreasing number of jobless claims will lower the probability of forceful rate cuts, which is the element that usually restricts the inflows of speculative assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bureau of Economic Analysis validated that U.S. real GDP increased by 3.8% in the second quarter on an annualized basis, as compared to the anticipated growth rate of 3.3%, which is also the previous rate. The argument of keeping the financial conditions tight is further complicated by the strength of growth. In the case of cryptocurrencies, where the liquidity level is high, more growth expectations usually imply a stronger dollar and less risk appetite, exerting pressure on the digital assets downward. In the meantime, the Federal Reserve’s favorite measure of inflation, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, was marked to 2.6% as compared to the 2.5% figure. Even an upward surprise of a small magnitude indicates…

Hashdex wins approval to add XRP, Solana, and Stellar to its crypto index ETF

The post Hashdex wins approval to add XRP, Solana, and Stellar to its crypto index ETF appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Hashdex and Nasdaq expanded their crypto index ETF, adding XRP, Solana, and Stellar to Bitcoin and Ether holdings. The ETF now provides US investors exposure to five major digital assets through a single, regulated product. Hashdex Asset Management and Nasdaq Global Indexes said Thursday they are expanding the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ) to include XRP, Solana, and Stellar. The expansion follows SEC approval permitting the ETF to hold assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum under the regulator’s new generic listing standards. With the three additional assets, Hashdex can now give investors broader exposure to the crypto market. Marcelo Sampaio, co-founder and CEO of Hashdex, said in a statement that the move marked a big step for the US market as investors and advisors can now access multiple major crypto assets through a single regulated ETF. “The expansion of the NCIQ will now provide investors access to Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Stellar all in one product, giving investors an easier way to participate in a fast-growing crypto industry,” Sampaio stated. Hashdex CIO Samir Kerbage said that crypto index ETFs like NCIQ are the easiest, safest, and most future-proof way for investors to gain crypto exposure. “Crypto index investing is emerging as a category that defines how investors allocate to this new asset class, and the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI) is designed to be its benchmark. As with past technological revolutions, diversified index products with thoughtful methodologies can play a pivotal role in helping investors benefit from market transformations,” Kerbage stated.
