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.

Ethereum is ‘ready for $5K’, but THIS can drag ETH’s rally

Ethereum is ‘ready for $5K’, but THIS can drag ETH’s rally

The post Ethereum is ‘ready for $5K’, but THIS can drag ETH’s rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Journalist Posted: September 14, 2025 Key Takeaways  ETH was well-positioned to extend its rally to $5K after defending $4.5K as support. But ETH bulls must contend with cooling ETF inflows and renewed SOL momentum.  Since mid-August, the Ethereum [ETH] price has been holding above $4K after price rejection near $5K.  Amid the September recovery, the altcoin has cleared key roadblocks, raising the odds of crossing $5K, but there are two crucial factors for a strong move.  In their recent update, Swissblock analysts noted that the only upside hurdle was at $4.8, and bulls could clear it if they defend $4500.  “The key is holding $4,500 and then $4,650 to unlock the path toward $5,000. ETH looks ready.” Source: Swissblock But they added that Solana [SOL] has outperformed ETH by over 15% this month, and could challenge ETH’s momentum.  ETH ETF flows ease Another bearish data set was a decline in spot ETH ETF inflows. According to CryptoQuant analyst JA Maartun, the institutional momentum that lifted ETH from May has reduced significantly.  Source: CryptoQuant In the past few days, the slow ETH ETFs have also dragged the ETH/BTC ratio lower, underscoring that BTC outperformed ETH recently.  If BTC and SOL take the lead in the next leg of the rally, the ETH uptrend could be slow. However, Swissblock analysts quipped,  “It has taken advantage of ETH’s recent weakness and accumulation, but ETH could still come back with strength.” Meanwhile, the Coinbase Premium Index has been positive and rising since 9th September. This suggested that the U.S retail has been accumulating the altcoin ahead of the Fed rate cut decision.  Source: CryptoQuant In most cases, a rising Coinbase Premium Index has always been positively correlated with ETH’s rallies. Simply put, whenever U.S retail appetite increases, ETH price tends to explode.   But ahead…

Top economist who called 2008 recession warns ‘we are in a gigantic price bubble’

Top economist who called 2008 recession warns ‘we are in a gigantic price bubble’

The post Top economist who called 2008 recession warns ‘we are in a gigantic price bubble’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. David Rosenberg, the economist who predicted the 2008 financial crisis, is warning that U.S. equities are deep in bubble territory as economic fundamentals weaken. His warning comes despite the benchmark index notching new highs in recent sessions. Notably, at the close of Friday’s session, the S&P 500 stood at 6,584, representing year-to-date gains of over 12%. According to Rosenberg, the S&P 500 is at risk of delivering negative returns in the year ahead, with valuations reaching extreme levels. The Rosenberg Research founder argued that the market’s lofty valuation shows investor sentiment has disconnected from the economic backdrop. To this end, such exuberance reflects a bubble pattern where prices climb even as fundamentals deteriorate. “This is what a euphoric state looks like we’re seeing it in real time. <…> We are in a gigantic price bubble that is ongoing. And you know it’s a price bubble when prices move up in the face of negative fundamentals,” he said in an interview with Business Insider.  Warning of negative S&P 500 returns  Rosenberg backed his view with data showing the index’s Shiller price-to-earnings ratio has risen to about 37.5, the third-highest in history behind peaks in 2021 and 2022. Historically, when valuations have reached similar levels, forward returns have turned negative. Historical stock market valuation. Source: Rosenberg Research At the same time, labor market signals are flashing red, which contributed to Rosenberg’s cautionary take. Initial jobless claims rose to 263,000 last week, surpassing economists’ expectations and pointing to weaker payroll growth.  Over the past four months, job creation has averaged under 100,000 per month, while Bureau of Labor Statistics revisions revealed nearly one million fewer jobs were added in the year through March than previously estimated. Looking ahead, with hiring slowing and valuations stretched, Rosenberg believes the market is either already in a…

Why Are Memecoins Up Today? Rally Fueled by Bets on Fed Rate Cut and Altcoin ETFs

Why Are Memecoins Up Today? Rally Fueled by Bets on Fed Rate Cut and Altcoin ETFs

The post Why Are Memecoins Up Today? Rally Fueled by Bets on Fed Rate Cut and Altcoin ETFs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The memecoin sector is heating up as fresh altcoin season talks are starting to grow on social media, partly driven by expectations that the Federal Reserve will this coming week cut interest rates, a boon for risk assets. Bitcoin’s market dominance has dropped 3.5% in the past month, and its underperformance relative to altcoins has now seen altcoin season indexes, which measure the performance of top cryptocurrencies against BTC, enter “altseason” territory. Altseason, short for altcoin season, refers to a period in which alternative cryptocurrencies significantly outperform bitcoin. It often starts as capital rotates out of bitcoin amid growing risk appetite. Those include indexes from CoinMarketCap and CoinGlass. Over the last 24 hours bitcoin moved up just 0.3%, while the CoinDesk Memecoin Index (CDMEME) rose 7.1%. Pushing up prices in the CDMEME index are some tokens like SHIB and BONE, which recently puzzlingly surged after Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network Shibarium suffered a flash loan exploit. The growing performance of altcoins stems from growing risk appetite, as lowering interest rates makes safer investments like government bonds less appealing. This renewed risk appetite is fueling a cascading rotation of capital across markets. Traders on prediction market Polymarket now see a 92% chance that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points this month, and a 7% chance that rate will be 50 bps. On the CME’s FedWatch tool, odds of a smaller cut are at 93%, while odds of a larger cut are at 6.6%. Against this backdrop, a wave of altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is in line to hit U.S. markets in the last quarter of the year if these are approved. These even include a DOGE ETF and a TRUMP ETF. If approved, these ETFs could bring more retail and institutional investors into the altcoin space by…

Altcoin Season Index Hits New High As DOGE and XRP Rally

Altcoin Season Index Hits New High As DOGE and XRP Rally

The post Altcoin Season Index Hits New High As DOGE and XRP Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market has entered the altcoin season with the index jumping to 84. The value of the index affirms the fact that other cryptocurrencies are performing better than Bitcoin in the present cycle. Altcoin Season Index Rises To 84 The data from the Blockchain Center shows that the altcoin season index has risen to 84, confirming that it is alt season. This suggests that investors favor higher-risk, greater-reward tokens besides the leading cryptocurrency. Therefore, in cases where most altcoins outperform Bitcoin, it indicates that most investors are shifting investments out of Bitcoin into these other cryptocurrencies. This collective outperformance confirms the shift in market momentum and defines the beginning of altcoin season. Hence, the index at 84 confirms that the 75% threshold has been significantly exceeded. Source: Blockchain Center Recently, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart stated that the altcoin season has arrived. He noted that the purchase from digital asset treasury companies has contributed to this rally for several altcoins. The timing of this transition is important. Bitcoin season has dominated for the past 65 days, but momentum has now flipped. However, according to Blockchain Center, altcoin seasons typically last for an average of 17 days. The capital rotation from Bitcoin is apparent, as can be seen in the performances of meme assets such as Dogecoin and infrastructure networks such as Ethereum and Solana. If the index rises further into altcoin territory in the next few weeks, the question would not be whether the season has started. Instead, it would be how long it can be sustained. Altcoin Leaders Drive Capital Rotation Beyond Bitcoin This pattern is also reflected in the price performances of top altcoins. XRP is trading above $3.15 following a 12% gain in the last week. Ethereum remains above $4,690, maintaining its upward trajectory. Dogecoin price is currently…
