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 Rallies an Hour After BTC Drops, Suggesting a Profit Rotation Into Metals

Gold Rallies an Hour After BTC Drops, Suggesting a Profit Rotation Into Metals

The post Gold Rallies an Hour After BTC Drops, Suggesting a Profit Rotation Into Metals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold, often seen as an analog for sound money, rose 1% on Monday to set another record high and bring its 2025 gain to 43%. The metal, now trading at $3,721, advanced about an hour after bitcoin BTC$112,534.51, seen by some proponents as a digital form of sound money, posted a 24-hour drop of 3% that cut its price to $112,000 and its year-to-date gain to 17%. The timing suggests the possibility that profits from bitcoin liquidations rotated into gold. The two assets rarely move in tandem, though there are occasional periods when both rise or fall simultaneously, often with a short lag. This time, the divergence is stronger. Gold is not the only metal attracting flows. Silver gained 1.5% on Monday to approach $44, its third-highest level since 1975, and is now up more than 50% year to date. Notably, since the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 bps on Sept. 17, both gold and the S&P 500 are up about 1%. At the same time, U.S. treasury yields have risen, with the U.S. 10-year at 4.125% (up 2.5%) and the U.S. 30-year at 4.7% (up 2%). The dollar strengthened, with the DXY index adding 1% to 97.5. A stronger dollar typically puts pressure on risk assets, and bitcoin has dropped over 3.5% since the Fed’s move.

These 3 worst-performing stocks of 2025 could be your best buying opportunity

These 3 worst-performing stocks of 2025 could be your best buying opportunity

The post These 3 worst-performing stocks of 2025 could be your best buying opportunity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While the broader S&P 500 has enjoyed a resilient 2025 with consistent record highs, some individual names have suffered heavy losses. In this case, the three worst performers in the index have each shed between 47% and 62% of their value this year.  S&P 500 worst perfoming stock of 2025.

The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) Leading the declines is The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD), a major digital advertising player, whose stock has collapsed more than 62% amid concerns over ad spending and intensifying competition.  Beneath the weakness, however, the company retains a dominant position in programmatic advertising, high client retention, and forward-looking initiatives such as Unified ID 2.0 to navigate the cookieless future.  With shares now at multi-year lows, the valuation reset offers meaningful upside potential once industry headwinds ease. As of press time, TTD was trading at $44.47, up 1.27% in the last session. TTD YTD stock price chart.

Despite the pullback, the company continues to post strong margins, maintain high brand loyalty, and expand internationally. New categories like men’s apparel and footwear are gaining traction, helping diversify growth.  Trading well below historical averages, the stock’s correction may give investors a discounted entry into a globally recognized brand.

Pi Coin Price May End Up Suffering From Its Ties to Bitcoin

Pi Coin Price May End Up Suffering From Its Ties to Bitcoin

The post Pi Coin Price May End Up Suffering From Its Ties to Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Coin has been struggling to break free from a persistent downtrend, failing once again to breach the $0.360 resistance.  The altcoin has remained subdued for over a month, with recovery attempts stalling repeatedly. Making matters worse, its growing correlation with Bitcoin could drag Pi Coin lower. Pi Coin Follows BTC The correlation between Pi Coin and Bitcoin currently sits at 0.74, a figure that has been strengthening recently. While correlations can sometimes support price growth, this development poses a challenge for Pi Coin given Bitcoin’s ongoing volatility and inability to sustain upward momentum. Sponsored Sponsored Pi Coin mirroring Bitcoin’s performance could result in greater losses, especially as the broader crypto market struggles to find stability.  Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. Pi Coin Correlation To Bitcoin. Source: TradingView From a technical perspective, Pi Coin’s momentum is weakening. The relative strength index (RSI) is slipping below the neutral 50.0 mark, entering bearish territory. This decline signals that selling pressure is intensifying, limiting Pi Coin’s chances of recovery unless favorable market conditions emerge. A prolonged stay below this threshold would suggest weakening investor confidence. If bearish momentum persists, Pi Coin could face further declines, particularly if external market factors such as Bitcoin’s downturn amplify the pressure. Pi Coin RSI. Source: TradingView PI Price Decline Likely At the time of writing, Pi Coin is trading at $0.345, holding just above its support at $0.340. The altcoin has dropped 3.5% after yet another rejection from the $0.360 resistance, which has capped its recovery attempts for weeks. The repeated failure to breach this barrier reflects a lack of buyer strength. If market conditions worsen and Bitcoin remains weak, Pi Coin could slip below $0.340, falling to $0.334 and potentially nearing the all-time low of $0.322. Pi Coin Price…

Indian IT Stocks Slide Over Trump’s New $100,000 H-1B Fee

The post Indian IT Stocks Slide Over Trump’s New $100,000 H-1B Fee appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Shares of major Indian tech services firms plunged sharply on Monday in response to President Donald Trump’s move to impose a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, which is expected to create operational and cost challenges for the outsourcing companies, which rely on the temporary skilled worker visa to deploy Indian workers to clients in the U.S. Shares of major Indian IT services firms like Infosys slumped sharply on Monday. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts Shares of Tata Consultancy Services, India’s largest IT services firm by market cap, was down than 3.1% to $34.85 (Rs 3,073.50) during afternoon trading in Mumbai. Infosys’ stock dropped 3.19% to $16.91 (Rs 1,491), HCLTech shares were down 1.92%, while shares of Tech Mahindra and Wipro were down 3.55% and 2.30% respectively. The Bombay Stock Exchange’s benchmark SENSEX index also declined on Monday by 0.26% to 82,347 points, while the Nifty IT index, which tracks the country’s IT sector, fell more than 3%. Shares of U.S. tech giants Google, Meta and Microsoft, which also rely on the visa for hiring foreign talent, were also down slightly in premarket trading. Over the weekend, following Trump’s announcement, Indian government officials warned there would be an “immediate fallout” for Indian IT firms and professionals, adding: “We have to see how companies adapt to it.” What Has India Said About The Visa Fee Hike?

Tesla stock surges by 2.2% as China rival BYD plunges after Elon Musk reunited with Trump

Tesla stock surges by 2.2% as China rival BYD plunges after Elon Musk reunited with Trump

The post Tesla stock surges by 2.2% as China rival BYD plunges after Elon Musk reunited with Trump appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tesla shares climbed 2.2% in after-hours trading on Sunday following Elon Musk’s unexpected reunion with President Donald Trump at Charlie Kirk’s funeral in Glendale, Arizona. The two met publicly for the first time since their fallout earlier this year. This happened inside Trump’s private box at State Farm Arena, where over 60,000 people came to pay respects to the conservative commentator. The moment was caught on video. Elon walked up, shook Trump’s hand, and stood close to him as they exchanged words. UFC president Dana White was standing next to them. The reunion seemed short, but it immediately sent signals across political and financial circles. Trump hugs Musk, says “I’ve missed you” A professional lip reader, Nicola Hickling, analyzed the clip. She says Trump greeted Elon by asking, “How are you doing?” Elon gave a shrug. Trump followed up with, “So Elon, I’ve heard you wanted to chat.” Dana stayed silent as the two continued. Trump leaned in and said, “Let’s try and work out how to get back on track.” Elon nodded. Then Trump grabbed his hand and said, “I’ve missed you.” The meeting came just months after Elon stepped down from his government post. Back in June 2025, he quit as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and went on a long social media rampage targeting Trump’s policies. Since then, Elon had been vocal about how government systems were “wasting time and money,” but Sunday’s encounter may suggest a shift in tone — or at least a temporary ceasefire. The fact that this happened in public, in front of thousands, wasn’t missed by traders. Many tied the sudden Tesla rally to this political moment.

If the dollar collapses, will Bitcoin win?

If the dollar collapses, will Bitcoin win?

The rapid decline of the US dollar has rekindled the dream of "super-Bitcoinization" among Bitcoin supporters. But there is little evidence that the dollar's demise spells victory for Bitcoin, and instead plenty of signs pointing to widespread societal dislocation. The Death of the Dollar: Lessons from Currency Collapses Fernando Nikolic, a former vice president of Blockstream who experienced Argentina's financial turmoil, warned that Bitcoin believers who hope for the demise of fiat currency don't know what they are expecting. "Bitcoiners celebrating the collapse of the dollar don't understand what they're asking for... This isn't liberation, this is your grandmother having to eat cat food because her savings evaporated... The demise of the dollar is not a victory for Bitcoin." In a period of true monetary collapse, basic necessities like water and food (not digital assets) would become the only things with real value. Many Americans who fantasize about a sudden transition to a Bitcoin economy have never experienced a true societal collapse. Nickrich warned that the reality is far more chaotic than they imagined and they would not actually welcome the expected demise of the dollar. The bleak picture across the United States points to a stressed fiat currency system The U.S. housing market has never been more unaffordable. Median single-family home prices in 2025 hit a record high, requiring double the income of 2019. The price-to-income ratio has reached an all-time high, homeownership has fallen to an all-time low, and millions of renters are spending 30% to 50% of their income on rent. The imbalance between wages and rising housing costs means that most potential homebuyers are locked out of the market, and social pressures continue to mount. To make matters worse, the U.S. unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.3% in August 2025, the highest level since the end of 2021, and the broader underemployment rate reached 8.1%. The figures mask the pain caused by a labor market that has failed to keep pace with inflation or by stagnant real wages. Against the backdrop of rising unemployment and house prices, the U.S. national debt exceeded $37 trillion in August 2025, more than twice the size of the country's economy. Borrowing costs continue to rise, with interest payments on the national debt exceeding even defense spending. The Congressional Budget Office projects that debt levels will reach that milestone five years earlier than originally planned due to increased borrowing and social spending during the pandemic. Debt growth of $1 trillion every five months is unsustainable and could push up interest rates and squeeze investment. When Fiat Fails, Bitcoin Doesn’t Automatically Win The US dollar index has fallen more than 10% against major currencies this year, its steepest decline since 1973. This decline has been linked to unpredictable economic policies, protectionism, and expansionary tax cuts. As the dollar depreciates, import prices rise, the purchasing power of ordinary Americans decreases, inflation worsens, and household budgets are strained. Depreciation further puts pressure on housing, employment and debt, exacerbating systemic vulnerabilities. All of these grim indicators paint a bleak picture of the fundamentals of the U.S. economy, and the U.S. dollar is often seen as a barometer for the rest of the world’s economies. If the world’s strongest currency is under pressure, what does that mean for the entire fiat currency system? While many Bitcoin advocates cry out that “Bitcoin can solve this problem,” hyperbitcoinization—the idea that people will massively turn to Bitcoin when fiat currencies fail—is a dangerous fantasy. This view ignores historical and social realities: when currencies collapse, trust evaporates, and abstract ideals are replaced by basic survival needs. Nikolic, whose experience was rooted in the collapse of Argentina's fiat currency, testified that the hope of so-called "liberation" was naive: the collapse meant only poverty, instability and suffering. When social safety nets and market norms break down, financial dislocations hit the vulnerable hardest. Bitcoin may offer an alternative to inflationary fiat currencies, but the demise of the dollar will bring not freedom but disaster and suffering to most people.

Crucial US Dollar Stability: What Fed Speakers and Inflation Data Mean for Markets

Crucial US Dollar Stability: What Fed Speakers and Inflation Data Mean for Markets

BitcoinWorld Crucial US Dollar Stability: What Fed Speakers and Inflation Data Mean for Markets The cryptocurrency market often dances to the tune of macroeconomic shifts, and few instruments are as influential as the US Dollar. As the greenback finds a moment of stability, all eyes turn to impending speeches from Federal Reserve officials and crucial inflation data. What does this mean for your digital assets and the broader financial landscape? Let’s delve into the forces shaping global finance and their ripple effects. The Pivotal Role of the US Dollar in Global Finance The US Dollar stands as the world’s primary reserve currency, a status that grants it immense influence over global trade, investment, and financial markets. Its recent stabilization comes after a period of significant volatility, reflecting a complex interplay of global economic sentiment, geopolitical events, and expectations surrounding monetary policy. For cryptocurrency investors, understanding the dollar’s trajectory is paramount, as a stronger dollar often correlates with reduced risk appetite, potentially impacting digital asset valuations. Several factors contribute to the dollar’s current stance: Safe-Haven Demand: During times of global uncertainty, investors often flock to the dollar, viewing it as a safe haven asset. Interest Rate Differentials: Higher interest rates in the US compared to other major economies can attract capital, strengthening the dollar. Economic Performance: The relative strength of the US economy compared to its peers plays a significant role in dollar valuation. Anticipating Signals from the Federal Reserve The upcoming speeches from Federal Reserve officials are not mere formalities; they are critical events that can send ripples across all financial markets, including cryptocurrencies. Known as “Fed speak,” these pronouncements offer insights into the central bank’s thinking on monetary policy, economic outlook, and future interest rate decisions. Market participants will scrutinize every word for clues regarding the Fed’s stance on inflation, employment, and economic growth. Why are these speeches so important? Policy Direction: They provide clarity on whether the Fed is leaning towards hawkish (tighter policy, higher rates) or dovish (looser policy, lower rates) measures. Forward Guidance: Officials often offer hints about future policy actions, influencing market expectations months in advance. Market Reaction: Unexpected statements can trigger significant movements in bond yields, equity markets, and the Forex market. A more hawkish tone could signal continued vigilance against inflation, potentially leading to a stronger dollar. Conversely, a dovish pivot might suggest a greater focus on economic growth, which could weigh on the dollar but potentially boost risk assets like cryptocurrencies. The Impact of Key Inflation Data Releases Beyond Fed speakers, the release of key inflation data is perhaps the most anticipated economic event. Reports such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index provide crucial insights into the pace of price increases. These figures directly influence the Federal Reserve’s decisions regarding interest rates, as the Fed’s dual mandate includes maintaining price stability. How does inflation data affect markets? Interest Rate Expectations: Higher-than-expected inflation often prompts the Fed to maintain or increase interest rates, supporting the dollar. Purchasing Power: Persistent inflation erodes the purchasing power of currencies, leading investors to seek alternative assets, sometimes including cryptocurrencies as an inflation hedge. Economic Outlook: Inflation data provides a snapshot of economic health, influencing investor confidence and overall market sentiment. A surprise in either direction – significantly higher or lower inflation – could disrupt the dollar’s stability and force the Fed to reassess its monetary policy trajectory. This uncertainty can translate into increased volatility across all asset classes. Navigating the Broader Forex Market The dynamics of the US Dollar, Federal Reserve policy, and inflation data are central to the global Forex market. The dollar’s strength or weakness has profound implications for other major currencies, commodity prices, and international trade flows. For instance, a stronger dollar makes US exports more expensive but reduces the cost of imports for US consumers. Consider the following interactions within the Forex market: Scenario US Dollar Impact Other Currencies Crypto Market Reaction (General) Hawkish Fed / High Inflation Stronger Weaker (e.g., EUR, JPY) Negative (risk-off) Dovish Fed / Low Inflation Weaker Stronger (e.g., EUR, JPY) Positive (risk-on) Stable Fed / Moderate Inflation Stable Mixed Neutral to slightly positive Understanding these relationships allows investors to better position themselves, anticipating how dollar movements might affect their international holdings or their exposure to assets priced in other currencies. The Future Trajectory of Interest Rates The ultimate goal of the Federal Reserve’s communications and its reaction to inflation data is to guide the future trajectory of interest rates. These rates are the cost of borrowing money and directly impact everything from mortgage payments to corporate investments. For the US Dollar, higher interest rates generally make it more attractive to hold, increasing demand. Key considerations for interest rates: Monetary Policy Tools: The Fed uses tools like the federal funds rate, quantitative easing, and quantitative tightening to influence rates. Economic Indicators: Beyond inflation, employment figures, GDP growth, and consumer confidence also factor into rate decisions. Global Context: Central bank policies in other major economies can influence the Fed’s approach to maintain competitiveness and financial stability. Any unexpected shifts in the Fed’s stance on interest rates, whether signaling prolonged high rates or an earlier-than-anticipated cut, will send powerful signals throughout the financial world. These signals directly affect the cost of capital, investor risk appetite, and the relative attractiveness of various asset classes, including the dynamic cryptocurrency market. What Does This Mean for Cryptocurrency Investors? For those invested in digital assets, the stability of the US Dollar, the pronouncements from the Federal Reserve, and the forthcoming inflation data are not abstract economic concepts. They are direct drivers of market sentiment and capital flows. A stronger dollar, often a result of hawkish Fed policy or higher interest rates, typically leads to a “risk-off” environment, where investors might pull capital from more volatile assets like cryptocurrencies and seek the relative safety of the dollar or US treasuries. Conversely, a weaker dollar, potentially spurred by dovish Fed rhetoric or lower interest rates, can foster a “risk-on” mood, encouraging investment in higher-risk, higher-reward assets, including digital currencies. Therefore, monitoring these macroeconomic indicators is an actionable insight for every crypto investor looking to understand broader market trends. Conclusion: Navigating the Macroeconomic Tides The current stabilization of the US Dollar serves as a critical juncture, with markets eagerly awaiting guidance from Federal Reserve officials and the release of pivotal inflation data. These events will undoubtedly shape the outlook for interest rates and influence the broader Forex market. For investors across all asset classes, particularly in the volatile cryptocurrency space, staying informed about these macroeconomic developments is not just prudent, but essential for making informed decisions. The interplay of these powerful forces will continue to dictate market sentiment and define the landscape for the foreseeable future, making vigilance and adaptability key.
