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.

Best Crypto to Watch as Peter Brandt Recommends Bitcoin to Gen Z

The post Best Crypto to Watch as Peter Brandt Recommends Bitcoin to Gen Z appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 24 September 2025 | 11:33 Gen Z traders wanting to secure their financial future should put a tenth of their investments into Bitcoin ($BTC) along with traditional ones, according to expert trader Peter Brandt. The statement marks a growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a long-term investment, particularly $BTC. But while Bitcoin is undoubtedly the must-have crypto in every trader’s portfolio, there are other alternatives for those on the lookout for newer projects that are shaping up to be the best crypto to buy, including Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and Snorter Token ($SNORT). Brandt’s Formula: Mix Bitcoin with Traditional Investments In a post on X, seasoned trader Peter Brandt advised Gen Z investors to put 10% of their investments into Bitcoin. Source: X/@PeterLBrandt It’s an interesting take, as many would consider Brandt a traditional trader, having begun his career in 1976. That’s why it also isn’t surprising that, aside from Bitcoin, he recommended putting 20% into real estate and 70% into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, which tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Brandt’s advice reflects the blurring of the lines between the cryptocurrency market and traditional finance, and the growing adoption of crypto as a legitimate investment. According to Security.org, more and more Americans are considering buying cryptocurrencies in the future, from only 51% in 2023 to 62% in 2025. Source: Security.org Of these cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin remains the most sought-after among American investors. But if you’re in the market for other alternatives to more established coins, then here are a few worth considering: 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Building the Next Phase of the Bitcoin Ecosystem When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin doesn’t need any introduction – it is the biggest and most popular digital currency on the planet. But it’s not without its flaws. For one,…

CFTC Announces Initiative in Favor of Cryptocurrencies

CFTC Announces Initiative in Favor of Cryptocurrencies

The post CFTC Announces Initiative in Favor of Cryptocurrencies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Caroline D. Pham, acting Commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced a new initiative to use stablecoins as tokenized collateral in U.S. derivatives markets for the first time. The statement was reported by cryptocurrency reporter Eleanor Terrett. The origins of this step date back to the Crypto CEO Forum held in February 2025. Leaders of leading stablecoin companies brought this issue to the agenda at the forum, and previous recommendations from the Presidential Working Group also formed the basis for this process. The CFTC is now soliciting public comment on this initiative. Feedback will be sought specifically on topics such as valuation, custody, reconciliation, and rule changes. The comment period will continue until October 20th. Experts note that accepting stablecoins as collateral could be a significant turning point in terms of both market depth and the integration of crypto assets with the traditional financial system. It was also recently rumored that a cryptocurrency-friendly name would be appointed to head the CFTC. *This is not investment advice.

The Fed Joins the Party.

The Fed Joins the Party.

Despite a deeply divided Federal Reserve, a renewed interest rate cutting cycle is underway at a time when financial conditions are already loose. In their latest rate-setting meeting, the Fed cut rates by 0.25% as widely expected. Updated projections from the Fed points to a couple more rounds of rate cuts before the year is out. But those projections are far from unanimous. Of the 19 officials providing forecasts, seven saw no need to cut rates further. The dual threat of rising inflation along with recent weakening in labor market data are dividing central banks officials. Even Fed Chair Jerome Powell commented that it’s “challenging to know what to do”, and that further rate cuts are on a “meeting-by-meeting situation.” Despite the uncertainty, various market gauges are confirming more rate cuts are ahead. Market-implied odds from the CME points to four cuts over the next 12 months. The 2-year Treasury yield, which tends to lead changes in the fed funds rate, is currently 0.68% below the level of fed funds. That means the Fed is joining the rate-cutting party already underway around the world. The chart below shows the percentage of central banks cutting (blue line) versus raising rates (red line). On a global basis, 84% of central banks are now easing policy via rate cuts.Chart from MacroMicro While central bank concerns are pivoting toward the labor market, rate cuts along with loose financial conditions could deliver a spark to both the economy and inflation. At the same time, more evidence is building that the economy is performing better than many investors and economists believe. That includes the most recent data on retail sales and setups in cyclical stocks and sectors. This week, let’s look at the deep divisions emerging within the Fed, and the surprising outlook for bringing inflation under control. We’ll also look at how the stock market tends to perform after the Fed’s been on hold, and the positive message on the economic outlook coming from cyclical sectors. The Chart Report Periodically alongside their rate-setting meeting, the Fed releases member projections on things like economic growth, unemployment, and inflation. While the median values of those projections tends to garner the most attention, recent forecasts shows that there is not a clear consensus. You can see the “dot plot” below from the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), and that the median value calls for two more rate cuts this year. But seven of 19 members providing forecasts saw no need for further rate cuts (2025 forecast below). Updated projections also shows that the Fed doesn’t expect consumer inflation to return to the 2% target until 2028. The Fed originally started cutting rates a year ago, and reduced the fed funds rate by 1.0%. But the central bank had been on hold since its last cut in December. Historically, a renewed rate cutting cycle after being on hold for six months or more has been positive for the S&P 500’s forward return. The chart below shows how the S&P has tended to perform in the 12 months before the Fed started cutting rates again, and how the S&P moved once cuts were resumed. You can see the drop ahead of restarting cuts actually lined up with the selloff into early April on trade war headlines. On average, the S&P 500 tends to see steady gains over the next 12 months once the Fed resumes rate cuts. While large-cap stocks in the S&P 500 average strong gains looking ahead once the Fed resumes rate cuts, small-cap stocks in particular could be a beneficiary. Small-caps get more of their revenues and earnings from the domestic economy, where falling rates could help boost economic growth. And approximately 33% of companies in the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks are financed with floating rate debt compared to just 6% in the S&P 500. Historically, small-caps have outperformed both mid- and large-caps during the three-, six-, and 12-month periods when the Fed cuts rates using data going back to the 1950s (chart below). While historical data tends to favor more gains in the stock market now that the Fed is cutting rates again, the ultimate path for stocks will come down to the health of the economy and outlook for corporate earnings. There has been evidence that the economy is showing signs of accelerating, like the August retail sales report that increased 0.6% in August and beat expectations. Better consumer spending data is keeping the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model above 3% annualized for estimated 3Q growth. Stock prices also discount future business conditions, and there are positive signals among key stocks and sectors as well. I noted here the setup in regional banks, which could be setting up to see record highs. The chart below shows machinery-giant Caterpillar (CAT), whose stock is working higher after moving out to new highs over $400 back in July. Various cyclical stocks and sectors are sending positive messages on the growth outlook. A rebound in the economy that drives a broad earnings recovery will be needed to sustain the bull market rally. While earnings growth is projected to broaden out into next year, the trend higher in the S&P 500’s 2026 earnings per share estimate has been driven by the “Magnificent 7” companies. Benchmarked to the start of April when trade war headlines were in full swing, you can see the drop in 2026 estimates for the S&P 500 and subsequent recovery. But the rebound has been fueled entirely by Mag 7 stocks with the other 493 only recently turning higher. The breadth of earnings contributions needs to expand in order to support the rally into next year.

Pi Coin Crash Opens Door for Price Breakout—Here’s How

Pi Coin Crash Opens Door for Price Breakout—Here’s How

The post Pi Coin Crash Opens Door for Price Breakout—Here’s How appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Coin shocked the market this week with a steep crash that pushed the altcoin to a new all-time low.  However, the asset quickly bounced back, recovering some of its losses. Interestingly, investors appear to be treating this decline as an entry point rather than an exit signal. Pi Coin Investors Pour Money The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) shows strong investor conviction in Pi Coin. Despite the crash, the indicator has sharply climbed to a three-month high, signaling significant inflows into the asset. This suggests that investors are not abandoning Pi Coin but instead allocating fresh capital at discounted levels. Sponsored Sponsored This behavior highlights growing confidence among market participants who see the recent decline as an opportunity. Buying activity during periods of weakness often fuels price recovery, and Pi Coin seems to be benefiting from this pattern. The strong inflows could provide the foundation for a potential breakout if momentum continues. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. Pi Coin CMF. Source: TradingView The broader momentum also hints at a shift in direction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has slipped into oversold territory below 30.0, a level that often signals saturation of bearish momentum. Historically, Pi Coin has reversed trend after dipping into this zone. If market conditions remain stable, Pi Coin could replicate past recoveries from oversold levels. The RSI suggests that selling pressure may have peaked, opening the door for a rebound. A favorable shift in sentiment across the broader crypto market could accelerate this move. Pi Coin RSI.

Flipping this barrier into support will be critical for initiating a sustainable recovery. While the next significant resistance…

Urgent Warning: Bitcoin Rebound Deemed Temporary, Crucial Support at $109.5K

Urgent Warning: Bitcoin Rebound Deemed Temporary, Crucial Support at $109.5K

BitcoinWorld Urgent Warning: Bitcoin Rebound Deemed Temporary, Crucial Support at $109.5K Are you feeling optimistic about the recent surge in Bitcoin’s price? Many investors are, and it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement. However, a prominent analyst has issued a word of caution. According to CryptoQuant contributor Axel Adler Jr., the current Bitcoin rebound might be nothing more than a temporary bounce, signaling that a deeper downtrend remains in control. This perspective urges a closer look at crucial support levels before celebrating a full recovery. Why is the Current Bitcoin Rebound Just a Temporary Bounce? Adler’s analysis suggests that while Bitcoin’s price has seen some upward movement, this may not indicate a sustained recovery. He explains that the market structure has shifted significantly, pushing the Composite Index, a key technical indicator, below the -0.4 threshold. This particular reading signals a dominant downtrend in the market. Market Structure Shift: The underlying dynamics of the market have changed, favoring bearish sentiment. Composite Index Below -0.4: This technical indicator serves as a strong signal for a prevailing downtrend. Simple Bounce: The current price action is interpreted as a temporary correction within a larger downward trend, not a reversal. This insight is crucial for anyone watching the market, as it encourages a cautious approach rather than immediate optimism. It highlights the importance of understanding underlying market signals beyond just daily price movements. What Makes $109.5K a Critical Bitcoin Support Level? In a volatile market, identifying key support levels becomes paramount. Adler has pinpointed $109,500 as a particularly significant support level for BTC. This price point could dictate the next major move for Bitcoin. Holding above this level is essential for any hope of a renewed upward trajectory. What happens if this level holds? If Bitcoin’s price successfully maintains above $109,500, and the Composite Index manages to recover above zero, an uptrend targeting the $117,700 resistance level could resume. Conversely, a failure to hold this support could signal further downside, reinforcing the dominant downtrend identified by Adler. Understanding these thresholds allows investors to anticipate potential scenarios and plan their strategies accordingly. The interplay between price action and technical indicators like the Composite Index offers a clearer picture of market health. How Can Investors Navigate This Uncertain Bitcoin Market? The cryptocurrency market is known for its rapid shifts, and the current situation with the Bitcoin rebound is no exception. Bitcoin recently fell to $111,000 around 4:00 a.m. UTC on Sept. 24, but it is currently trading near $112,400, up 0.39% from the previous day’s close. These daily fluctuations can be misleading if one does not consider the broader market context. For investors, this period calls for vigilance and a well-informed strategy. Here are some actionable insights: Monitor Key Levels: Keep a close eye on the $109,500 support and $117,700 resistance levels. Watch Technical Indicators: Pay attention to the Composite Index and other relevant technical tools for confirmation of trends. Practice Risk Management: Given the analyst’s cautionary stance, consider setting stop-losses or reducing exposure if the market structure continues to signal a downtrend. Stay Informed: Follow expert analysis from reputable sources like CryptoQuant to gain deeper insights into market movements. Navigating this period successfully means prioritizing information and careful decision-making over emotional reactions to short-term price swings. The challenge lies in distinguishing between a genuine recovery and a temporary reprieve. In conclusion, while the recent Bitcoin rebound might offer a glimmer of hope, expert analysis from Axel Adler Jr. suggests it’s likely temporary, with a dominant downtrend still in play. The $109,500 level stands as a crucial support, dictating whether Bitcoin can attempt a move towards $117,700 or face further declines. For investors, vigilance, adherence to technical signals, and prudent risk management are essential in this uncertain market environment. Don’t let short-term gains overshadow the bigger picture presented by seasoned analysts. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What does Axel Adler Jr. mean by a ‘temporary Bitcoin rebound’? A1: Axel Adler Jr. believes the recent increase in Bitcoin’s price is a short-term bounce within an ongoing larger downtrend, rather than the start of a new, sustained upward movement. He cites the Composite Index falling below -0.4 as a key indicator of this dominant downtrend. Q2: What is the Composite Index, and why is it important in this analysis? A2: The Composite Index is a technical indicator used to assess market momentum and trend strength. When it falls below -0.4, as Adler notes, it signals a strong prevailing downtrend. Its recovery above zero would be crucial for confirming a potential shift back to an uptrend. Q3: Why is $109,500 identified as a key support level for BTC? A3: This price point is considered critical because if Bitcoin’s price holds above it, there’s a possibility of resuming an uptrend towards $117,700. If it breaks below, it could confirm further downward movement, reinforcing the bearish outlook. Q4: What should investors do if the Bitcoin price falls below $109,500? A4: If the price drops below this crucial support, it could signal further market weakness. Investors might consider reviewing their risk exposure, tightening stop-losses, or waiting for clearer signs of market stabilization before making new investments, as the downtrend could intensify. Q5: How reliable is this analysis from CryptoQuant? A5: CryptoQuant is a well-regarded platform for on-chain and market data analysis in the cryptocurrency space. Axel Adler Jr. is a contributor known for his technical insights. While no analysis is foolproof, such perspectives from reputable sources provide valuable context for decision-making.
