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.

Fed Rate Cut Talks and Macroeconomic Data Poise Crypto Markets

Fed Rate Cut Talks and Macroeconomic Data Poise Crypto Markets

The post Fed Rate Cut Talks and Macroeconomic Data Poise Crypto Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Federal Reserve officials’ speeches could influence crypto market fluctuations. Upcoming PCE data will guide rate cut expectations. BTC price activity reflects institutional interest amid macro changes. Next week, Federal Reserve officials will deliver critical speeches on monetary policy, influencing financial markets from the New York Fed to St. Louis and beyond. These discussions could dictate the direction of U.S. rate cuts, impacting cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum as investors evaluate inflation and economic growth signals. Fed Talks and PCE Data May Sway Crypto Markets Federal Reserve members, including FOMC’s Williams and Bullard, will discuss economic outlooks next week. Among these talks, Williams on Monday and Bullard on Tuesday are noteworthy for their potential influence on monetary policy directions. Recent macro data, including the August PCE price index, will shape beliefs regarding the potential for future rate cuts. Historically, adjustments in interest rates have had immediate effects on cryptocurrency markets. David Duong, Head of Macro Research, Coinbase – “We believe that, driven by a resilient liquidity environment, favorable macro conditions, and friendly regulatory policies, the crypto bull market still has room for development at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025…. Unless there are severe fluctuations in energy prices… the direct risk of disrupting the current U.S. monetary policy path is actually quite low.” Bitcoin Faces Mixed Signals Amid Fed Rate Speculations Did you know? September has traditionally been a challenging month for Bitcoin, declining for six successive years until breaking the trend in 2023-2024. Bitcoin, currently priced at $116,100.28, commands a market capitalization of $2.31 trillion and maintains dominance at 57.13%. Bitcoin’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $26.14 billion, reflecting a decline of 37.25%, indicating adjusted liquidity amid market changes, as reported by CoinMarketCap.

Gold rebounds above $3,670 as dip buyers step in despite firm US Dollar

Gold rebounds above $3,670 as dip buyers step in despite firm US Dollar

The post Gold rebounds above $3,670 as dip buyers step in despite firm US Dollar appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold bounces from weekly lows near $3,630, trades at $3,668 in North American session. Bullion bulls ignore strong US Dollar, high US Treasury yields. Swiss exports to US collapse on tariff confusion, but China and India demand surged, underpinning Bullion. Gold price reverses its course on Friday after printing back-to-back bearish session, rises over 0.69% despite overall US Dollar strength across the board. Buyers emerged near the lows of the week at around $3,630 and drove the non-yielding metal higher. The XAU/USD trades at $3,670 during the North American session. XAU/USD recovers after Fed cut, outlook buoyed by low-rate environment and resilient Asian demand Bullion is recovering ground on Friday, following the decision by the Federal Reserve (Fed), which cut rates by 25 basis points and laid the path for two additional rate cuts toward the end of the year. Nevertheless, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference was perceived as hawkish as he said that the reduction is a “risk-management cut,” and failed to say that tariff inflation is “transitory.” Nevertheless, the outlook for non-yielding metal looks promising as it tends to perform well in low interest rate environments. Swiss Gold exports to the US in August tumbled 99% after the US Customs & Border Protection revealed that bars would be subject to tariffs. The White House then backpedaled on that matter, and the exemption was formalized in early September. Nevertheless, China came to the rescue as shipments more than tripled in August from 9.9 tonnes to 35, its highest level since May 2024, while exports to India rose as well. Daily market movers: Gold surges amid strong US Dollar The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the buck’s performance against a basket of six currencies, is up 0.26% at 97.61. US Treasury yields are rising steadily with the 10-year…

These States Might See Aurora Borealis This Weekend

These States Might See Aurora Borealis This Weekend

The post These States Might See Aurora Borealis This Weekend appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline A selection of states in the northern U.S. might have an opportunity to view the northern lights this weekend, with a chance of a geomagnetic storm to kick off the upcoming week, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A geomagnetic storm is forecast to start the upcoming week. NurPhoto via Getty Images Key Facts NOAA forecast a Kp index of three on a scale of nine for Saturday night, suggesting the northern lights may be seen as far south as southern Minnesota. On Sunday, the agency projected a Kp index of four, indicating auroral activity may be present across a view line that sweeps along the northern border of Iowa, with an increased chance along the Canadian border. Sunday night’s forecast might be upgraded as minor geomagnetic storms are likely, following the effects of high-speed winds from a cooler, less dense spot on the sun’s surface, according to NOAA’s three-day outlook, which may increase projections to a Kp index of five for early Monday morning. Where Will The Northern Lights Be Visible? Northern Canada and Alaska have the highest likelihood of viewing the northern lights on both Saturday and Sunday nights. On Saturday, the phenomenon has a lesser, yet still possible forecast in parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. On Sunday, the forecast extends into areas of South Dakota and Maine, with a higher chance along the Canadian border. (See maps below.) Saturday night’s view line. NOAA Sunday night’s view line. NOAA What’s The Best Way To See The Northern Lights? The northern lights are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time while at a high, north-facing vantage point away from light pollution, according to NOAA. Aurora borealis is more visible throughout the winter as nights are longer,…

Grayscale Pushes Dogecoin ETF Plans Forward With New SEC Filing

Grayscale Pushes Dogecoin ETF Plans Forward With New SEC Filing

The post Grayscale Pushes Dogecoin ETF Plans Forward With New SEC Filing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins 20 September 2025 | 18:17 Grayscale has taken another step toward bringing Dogecoin to Wall Street’s mainstream investment vehicles. The digital asset manager submitted a revised S-1 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, outlining its proposal to transform the existing closed-end Grayscale Dogecoin Trust into a spot ETF. The filing confirms Coinbase will serve as both prime broker and custodian for the fund. If the product wins approval, it will be listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker GDOG. The exchange has already filed a separate application to host the fund, adding to the momentum behind Grayscale’s efforts. Dogecoin was not the only focus of regulatory paperwork this week. NYSE Arca also sought amendments for Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust and its smaller “mini” version, asking that they fall under recently approved “general listing standards.” These standards, adopted by the SEC just days ago, loosen oversight conditions and are expected to accelerate the rollout of crypto ETFs. The timing of the move is notable. The SEC has just cleared new guidelines making it easier for cryptocurrency funds to trade on U.S. exchanges, provided the underlying asset has futures contracts listed on a regulated market for at least six months. Grayscale emphasized that Dogecoin already meets this condition, with both futures and options contracts actively trading on CFTC-regulated platforms. Competition in the sector is heating up. REX Shares and Osprey Funds have already won regulatory approval to launch the first U.S. Dogecoin-themed ETFs, while Grayscale recently expanded its footprint with a multi-asset crypto index fund covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano. For now, all eyes are on whether regulators will sign off on GDOG. Approval would mark another milestone for the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, potentially giving investors a new gateway into Dogecoin through a fully regulated exchange-traded product. The information…

Grayscale’s Crypto Index Fund Sees ‘Solid Start’ as SOL, XRP Institutional Demand Climbs

Grayscale’s Crypto Index Fund Sees ‘Solid Start’ as SOL, XRP Institutional Demand Climbs

The post Grayscale’s Crypto Index Fund Sees ‘Solid Start’ as SOL, XRP Institutional Demand Climbs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale’s crypto index fund is off to a solid start, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas. This comes amid the rising institutional demand for Solana and XRP, even as the potential launch of spot crypto ETFs for these altcoins draws near. Grayscale’s Fund Off To A Solid Start Amid Rising SOL, XRP Demand In an X post, Balchunas revealed that Grayscale’s CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF did $22 million on its first day as an ETF, a development which he described as really “solid.” He also highlighted the fact that REX-Osprey’s Dogecoin and XRP ETFs did $12 million and $15 million, respectively. The Bloomberg analyst noted that all these crypto ETFs have crushed the average ETF launch, although it is still a far cry from the Bitcoin ETFs. However, he added that the inflows are something that the ETF issuers can be happy about. As CoinGape reported, Grayscale’s index-based fund, which holds BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and ADA, launched yesterday following approval from the SEC on September 17. This fund is the first spot crypto index fund to launch. REX-Osprey Dogecoin and XRP ETFs also launched this week, becoming the first funds to offer spot exposure to these altcoins in the U.S. The DOGE ETF became the first fund to hold an asset that doesn’t exactly have any utility. Rising Institutional Demand For These Altcoins Solana and XRP, which are among the top altcoins by market cap, are recording rising institutional demand ahead of the potential launch of spot ETFs, which will hold them under the 33 Act. The CME official trader community X platform recently remarked that SOL is “moving at a new speed.” Solana is moving at a new speed. SOL futures open interest (OI) exceeded $2.1B notional, the fastest of our futures to double its OI since hitting…

Bitcoin Is Building a Base as ‘OG’ Hodlers Exit and Big Money Preps

Bitcoin Is Building a Base as ‘OG’ Hodlers Exit and Big Money Preps

The post Bitcoin Is Building a Base as ‘OG’ Hodlers Exit and Big Money Preps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s recent stretch of muted price action is a sign of strength, not weakness, according to Strategy (MSTR) Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Speaking on an episode of Natalie Brunell’s “Coin Stories” podcast released Friday, Saylor argued that the market is in a consolidation phase as long-time holders sell portions of their stacks and institutions prepare for bigger allocations. “If you zoom out and look at the one-year chart, bitcoin is up 99%,” he said. “The volatility is coming out of the asset — that’s a really good sign.” Saylor described the current environment as one where early adopters who bought bitcoin at single-digit prices are selling modest amounts to fund real-world needs, such as housing or tuition. He likened it to employees of a high-growth startup liquidating stock options, not as a loss of faith but as a natural step toward maturity. That process, he said, is paving the way for corporations and large funds to enter once volatility falls. He dismissed concerns that bitcoin’s lack of cash flows makes it inferior to traditional investments, pointing out that many valuable assets — from land to gold to art — also lack income streams. “The perfect money has no cash flows,” he said, adding that institutions anchored in decades of equity-and-bond frameworks have been slow to adapt but will eventually be forced to rethink. Going beyond store of value A central theme of the conversation was Strategy’s push to reengineer credit markets by using bitcoin as collateral, moving beyond the simple store-of-value narrative. Saylor said conventional bonds are “yield-starved” and under-collateralized, while bitcoin-backed instruments can be structured to offer higher yields and lower risk. He outlined the firm’s suite of preferred-stock products — Strike, Strife, Stride, and Stretch — which are designed to provide investors with yields of up to 12%…

Bitcoin Is ‘Digital Capital’ That Outpaces Traditional Assets—Michael Saylor

Bitcoin Is ‘Digital Capital’ That Outpaces Traditional Assets—Michael Saylor

Strategy’s long-running bet on Bitcoin remains at the heart of the debate over the asset’s place in finance. Based on reports, the firm now holds more than 638,500 BTC, a stake that Saylor has said is worth “tens of billions” of dollars. Related Reading: FalconX Moves 413K Solana Worth $98M – Impact On SOL Price That stockpile has shaped both the company’s identity and Michael Saylor’s public message since Strategy began buying Bitcoin in 2020. Saylor Predicts Long Run Outperformance According to Saylor’s recent interview on Coin Stories, Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 “forever.” He went further, saying the S&P 500 would lose nearly 29% each year when measured against Bitcoin for the next 21 years. Those are among the most aggressive public forecasts he has voiced. He also pointed to Bitcoin’s returns over the past 10 years as proof that the gap already exists. My discussion with @NatBrunell on the digital transformation and reinvigoration of capital markets through digital credit instruments — $STRK $STRF $STRD $STRC — built on $BTC digital capital.pic.twitter.com/t8AcsgdiKF — Michael Saylor (@saylor) September 19, 2025 Saylor Frames Bitcoin As Digital Capital And New Collateral Based on reports, Saylor described Bitcoin as a form of “digital capital” that could be used to back loans and other credit instruments. He argued that a fixed supply and decentralized network give Bitcoin a more predictable long-term path than fiat money. Policy action is part of his effort. Meetings with other crypto executives, including talks about a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill, were mentioned as steps toward making the asset more widely accepted in finance and policy circles. Claims About Fiat And Collateral Face Real Tests Saylor contrasted Bitcoin with the US dollar and with conventional collateral, saying currencies suffer from long-term depreciation tied to inflation and central bank policy. But critics point to Bitcoin’s price swings and regulatory uncertainty as real obstacles to using it as stable collateral. Some risk would be built into any credit product that leans heavily on a volatile asset. These concerns have been raised by market participants and remain part of the public record. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More Strategy’s Corporate Path And Index Eligibility Saylor explained why Strategy is not yet in the S&P 500. He said the company needed changes in fair value accounting and sustained profitability before it could be considered. Reports show the company only began its major Bitcoin purchases in 2020 and has since anchored much of its corporate strategy to the coin. That strategy continues to shape investor views of the company’s earnings and balance sheet. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

GBP/USD sinks below 1.3500 as ‘King Dollar’ regains strength post-Fed

GBP/USD sinks below 1.3500 as ‘King Dollar’ regains strength post-Fed

The post GBP/USD sinks below 1.3500 as ‘King Dollar’ regains strength post-Fed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. GBP/USD trades below 1.3480 as the US Dollar steadies near 97.60 after the Fed’s 25 bps rate cut. UK Retail Sales beat expectations at 0.5% MoM, but fiscal worries cap Sterling’s upside against the Greenback. Quad witching adds volatility risks, while traders eye US data and Fed speakers next week. The British Pound (GBP) is under heavy pressure from the ‘King Dollar’ on Friday, down 0.52% even though the docket in the US is absent, with just Federal Reserve (Fed) officials crossing the newswires. UK data, although positive, failed to underpin Sterling in Retail Sales. GBP/USD is trading at 1.3482. Sterling drops despite upbeat UK Retail Sales, pressured by broad Dollar recovery and fiscal concerns Market mood remains mixed amid a quad witching options expiring on Friday, which could trigger volatility in US equity markets. The US Dollar has recovered after falling to three-year lows in the aftermath of the Fed’s monetary policy decision on Wednesday. Minnesota Fed President Neel Kashkari said that he supported the rate cut this week as risks of an increase in unemployment warranted some action. He noted that it is hard to see inflation climbing much higher than 3% from tariffs and added that if the jobs market improves and inflation rises, the Fed should hold rates. He added that he is open to hiking rates if economic conditions warrant. Meanwhile, Wednesday’s Fed decision to cut rates by 25 basis points was fully priced by market participants, as the Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the performance of the buck’s value against a basket of six currencies, rallied sharply and turned flat on the week at around 97.62. Across the pond, UK Retail Sales rose 0.5% MoM in August, exceeding forecasts of 0.4%, while sales growth in July was slightly revised down. Despite this, Cable failed…
