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.

Fear & Greed Index Neutral At 51 As Altcoin Season Index Hits 71

Fear & Greed Index Neutral At 51 As Altcoin Season Index Hits 71

The post Fear & Greed Index Neutral At 51 As Altcoin Season Index Hits 71 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Market sentiment tools are once again driving headlines as investors gauge whether crypto is entering its next major rotation. The Fear and Greed Index, widely used to measure investor psychology, is holding steady at 51, reflecting neutrality after recent volatility. At the same time, the Altcoin Season Index has surged to 71/100, signalling that altcoins are starting to outperform Bitcoin across a broad basket of assets.  This environment is giving analysts confidence to look beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum toward altcoins and undervalued projects. While majors like ADA and SOL are positioned to benefit, emerging names such as MAGACOIN FINANCE are also starting to surface in analyst conversations, adding another layer of opportunity for investors watching sentiment-driven trends. Market Sentiment: Fear & Greed Index Holds Neutral at 51 The Fear and Greed Index has recently indicated a neutral state at 51 rather than an atmosphere of greed. The index indicates how fearful (0) or greedy (100) the investors are. It has been prepared using stocks, bonds, and options. A reading of 51 indicates moderately neutral sentiment in the market. As a reference, the historical median value of the Fear & Greed Index is 51; thus, a reading of 51 indicates slightly above-average greed. The average value of 46.39 years to date, with a median of 53, indicates mixed sentiment in 2025 so far. This stability is meaningful because extreme fear often signals panic selling, while extreme greed can precede overbought markets. A neutral reading of 51 suggests that investors are balanced, neither rushing into risk nor fleeing from it. Analysts interpret this as a foundation for sustainable growth, where markets have room to climb without the froth of irrational exuberance. Investor Behavior: Altcoin Season Index at 71 Signals Rotation The Altcoin Season Index stands at 71/100 while the Fear and Greed…

The dollar dying doesn’t make Bitcoin win

The dollar dying doesn’t make Bitcoin win

The post The dollar dying doesn’t make Bitcoin win appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The rapid decline of the U.S. dollar has reignited dreams of “hyperbitcoinization” among Bitcoin proponents. But there is little evidence that the dollar dying means Bitcoin’s victory; and plenty that points toward widespread chaos instead. The dollar dying: lessons from currency collapse Fernando Nikolic, ex-VP at Blockstream and a veteran of Argentina’s financial turmoil, cautions against Bitcoiners wishing for the death of fiat: “Bitcoiners celebrating dollar collapse don’t understand what they’re asking for… It’s not liberation, it’s your grandmother eating cat food because her savings evaporated… The dollar dying doesn’t make Bitcoin win.” In times of true currency collapse, basic necessities like ammunition (not digital assets) become the only thing of real value. Many Americans imagining a sudden transition to a Bitcoin-based economy have no experience of genuine societal breakdown. The reality, Nikolic warns, is far more chaotic than they realize, and they would not actually welcome the outcome of the dollar dying they’re envisioning. A bleak picture across the U.S. points to a straining fiat system The American housing market has never been more out of reach. Median home prices hit record highs in 2025, requiring twice as much income to buy a single-family home as in 2019. US Home Price Histrory: 1890 to 2025 (Source: Re:venture) The price-to-income ratio is at an all-time high, with ownership less attainable than ever, and millions of renters spending between 30% and 50% of their income on housing. The mismatch between wages and rising housing costs means most would-be buyers are priced out, worsening social stress. Adding salt to the wounds, U.S. unemployment edged up to 4.3% in August 2025, the highest since late 2021, with broader underemployment at 8.1%. These figures mask the pain caused by a labor market that can’t keep pace with inflation or stagnant real wages. Against a…

Pro-XRP Lawyer Reveals Why XRP Price Has Taken A Hit Despite Strong ETF Launch ⋆ ZyCrypto

Pro-XRP Lawyer Reveals Why XRP Price Has Taken A Hit Despite Strong ETF Launch ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Pro-XRP Lawyer Reveals Why XRP Price Has Taken A Hit Despite Strong ETF Launch ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp After prices soared above the $3 mark, XRP has taken a hit, prompting experts to blame its correlation to Bitcoin for the sudden slump in value. Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan disclosed that XRP is merely mirroring Bitcoin’s price performance as traders have their eyes peeled for new price catalysts. Bitcoin Drags XRP Underwater After Initial Price Rally According to data from CoinMarketCap, XRP is trading under $3 after showing flashes of brilliance for a meteoric rally over the last seven days. However, following the hints of an incoming rally, XRP has tumbled by nearly 3% over the last week as investors scan the charts to rationalize the dip. Amid the decline, pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan revealed in an X post that Bitcoin is responsible for XRP’s latest price slump. In his post, Morgan noted that XRP is merely “playing follow the leader” given its correlation with Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. “This is the overwhelming reality and the most significant factor in XRP price movement, which is heavily correlated with Bitcoin price dynamics,” said Morgan. “It is consistent with Ripple’s expert evidence in the SEC v Ripple lawsuit.” The lawyer cited Ripple’s expert evidence provided in the SEC-Ripple lawsuit that alluded to a correlation between the two cryptocurrencies. Historically, cryptocurrency prices have matched Bitcoin’s price action with a rally by the largest digital asset by market cap, triggering similar price spurts across the ecosystem. Advertisement &nbsp This time, Bitcoin price shed nearly 2% after the initial buzz from the Fed rate cut, halting the rallies of several cryptocurrencies. Apart from XRP, the decline in BTC price appears to have adversely affected HYPE, LINK, and AVAX over the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, Morgan disclosed that, apart from its correlation with Bitcoin, XRP has a…

Ethereum’s ‘Google Moment’? Vitalik Buterin Reveals Next Big Step for Blockchain

Ethereum’s ‘Google Moment’? Vitalik Buterin Reveals Next Big Step for Blockchain

The post Ethereum’s ‘Google Moment’? Vitalik Buterin Reveals Next Big Step for Blockchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to Vitalik Buterin, the future of Ethereum (ETH) lies not in NFTs or meme coins, but in something far simpler — low-risk DeFi. In a new essay, the Ethereum co-founder likened this to how search became Google’s main source of income, powering every other service around the internet giant. In short, the point is that Ethereum doesn’t need hype cycles to survive. What it needs is a solid foundation of payment systems, savings accounts, collateralized lending and synthetic assets that will stand the test of time. These are trustworthy tools that also keep ETH locked up and fees flowing. The numbers show why this shift is important. Back in 2019, Ethereum DeFi losses amounted to more than 5% of the total value locked. By 2025, that figure had dropped to almost zero. Protocols have become safer, risks have dropped, and the wild edges of DeFi have moved further away from the core. Buterin argues that, for millions of users, the risks in traditional finance are now greater than those in DeFi. “Digital oil” or new Google? Low-risk DeFi also creates opportunities for the road ahead. These include reputation-based lending without heavy collateral, prediction markets used for hedging and new forms of stable value, such as “flatcoins” tied to inflation indexes. All of these build on the safer foundations being formed today. Buterin is clear in his message — Ethereum’s biggest application doesn’t need to be revolutionary. It just needs to work everywhere, reliably. Low-risk DeFi fits that role, and if he is right, it could be the piece that finally makes Ethereum both sustainable and integral.

China’s retail investors return to stocks as other assets slump

China’s retail investors return to stocks as other assets slump

The post China’s retail investors return to stocks as other assets slump appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Retail investors in China are back in the market, not because they suddenly love risk, but because everything else they used to trust is falling apart. The CSI 300 Index has jumped over 25% since April, pushed by excitement around AI and Donald Trump’s softer tone from the White House. But the reason ordinary Chinese households are eyeing stocks again? Simple. Every other place they could put their savings is turning to dust. Cash doesn’t pay. Bonds are weak. Property is a nightmare. Wealth products are sinking. So now, retail investors, who’ve mostly been watching from the sidelines, are stepping up. William Bratton, who leads cash equity research in Asia Pacific at BNP Paribas Exane, said, “The pressure to save is fading.” He pointed at China’s $23 trillion in household savings as a reason his firm is “structurally positive” on local equities. Right now, the rally is mostly being carried by institutional players and foreign money, based on Goldman Sachs data. But people like William are betting on retail buyers to drive the next wave. JPMorgan Chase thinks $350 billion from households will move into China’s stock market by the end of 2026. Banks cut rates, bonds disappoint, homes lose shine Five-year fixed savings accounts at the country’s top four banks are paying around 1.3%. That’s down from 2.75% in 2020. If you go for demand deposits, it’s worse—0.05% a year. The once-popular Tianhong Yu’E Bao money-market fund, managing around $110 billion, is returning just 1.1%, half of what it gave investors earlier this year. Bonds aren’t making up for it either. The people holding Chinese government debt have seen more red than green this year. Yields might be climbing, but they’re still trash. The 10-year benchmark sits at 1.80%, compared to a five-year average of 2.58%. On top of…
