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.

CPI report health care inflation rises

CPI report health care inflation rises

The post CPI report health care inflation rises appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jose Luis Pelaez Inc | Digitalvision | Getty Images Health-care inflation is fueling higher coverage costs, setting the stage for what could be the largest increase in health-care spending by large employers in 15 years. Medical care costs in August rose 4.2% on an annualized basis, according to the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index, compared to an overall inflation rate of 2.9%. The cost of doctors’ visits climbed 3.5%, while hospital and outpatient services jumped 5.3%. Those price increases are contributing to higher health insurance costs for 2026. Consumers who don’t qualify for government subsidies to buy health coverage on the Affordable Care Act exchanges could face double-digit premium increases for next year, according to early filings from insurers. Workers with employer health coverage could also have to pay higher premium and out-of-pocket costs next year. Large employers are projecting their overall health coverage costs will rise an average of 9% in 2026, according to several business group surveys, which would be the highest level of health-care inflation since 2010. More than half of companies surveyed by benefits consulting firm Mercer earlier this year said they are considering passing on some of those increases to workers, but the Business Group on Health says most large employers in its survey are looking for other ways to cut costs. “Employers have shied away in every way possible, from passing on costs to employees. This year, we see the first indication that they may look to pass some of that on to employees, but again, only as a last resort. They’re going to try and pull as many other levers as possible,” said Ellen Kelsay, BGH president and CEO.

Inflation-Adjusted Gold Price Hits Record High Above $3,635; Is Bitcoin Next?

Inflation-Adjusted Gold Price Hits Record High Above $3,635; Is Bitcoin Next?

The post Inflation-Adjusted Gold Price Hits Record High Above $3,635; Is Bitcoin Next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Inflation-adjusted gold prices hit record highs above $3,610 per ounce for the first time since the 1980s. Central banks in emerging markets are increasing gold reserves to reduce dollar dependency amid global tensions. Bitcoin maintains correlation with gold at $114,600 as both assets benefit from lower interest rate expectations. The inflation-adjusted price of gold reached a record high for the first time since the 1980s while trading above $3,610 per ounce, according to a recent post by The Kobeissi Letter on September 11. Rising inflation plus upcoming interest rate cuts are “gold’s dream setup,” highlights the analyst, which also relates to Bitcoin’s value proposition—historically correlated to gold and both tied to economic data. There it is: Inflation adjusted gold prices have officially hit a new record high for the first time since the 1980s. Inflation + rate cuts = gold’s dream setup. pic.twitter.com/eS7blRIHkQ — The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) September 11, 2025 Basically, the inflation-adjusted gold price takes historical nominal prices and multiplies them by the ratio of the current US Consumer Price Index (CPI) to the historical CPI at that time. This expresses all prices in equivalent current dollar purchasing power for accurate long-term comparisons. The latest US CPI data released today for August revealed annual inflation at 2.9%, climbing from July’s 2.7% and exceeding expectations, which increases the adjustment impact on gold’s historical price. Meanwhile, Core CPI remained steady at 3.1% year-over-year, signaling persistent price pressures in non-volatile categories. On the other hand, data released on September 10 for the US Producer Price Index (PPI) for August came in lower than expected, at 2.9% against the forecasted 3.3%. PPI is usually seen as an early indicator for the CPI in the next two to three months, signaling potentially declining inflation—which has brought a speculative 50 basis-point interest rate cut…

Elon Musk fortune now comes mostly from private companies

Elon Musk fortune now comes mostly from private companies

The post Elon Musk fortune now comes mostly from private companies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk arrives to the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20, 2025 in Washington, DC.  Chip Somodevilla | Via Reuters A version of this article appeared in CNBC’s Inside Wealth newsletter with Robert Frank, a weekly guide to the high-net-worth investor and consumer. Sign up to receive future editions, straight to your inbox. Tesla said it needed to incentivize CEO Elon Musk with a record-breaking pay package in order to compete with his private companies, according to a proxy the company filed last week. The filing outlines a share award that could be worth $1 trillion if it all pays out. Tesla also said Musk’s other companies — mainly SpaceX and xAI Holdings — now account for most of his wealth and therefore will command most of his attention unless Tesla pays him more. “A majority of Mr. Musk’s wealth is now derived from other business ventures outside of Tesla, and he has more attractive options today than ever before,” the proxy said. The pay package of up to 423 million shares is necessary, it added, to prevent Musk from “prioritizing other ventures.” It will be up to shareholders to approve the package, of course. But the proxy highlights the surging valuations of Musk’s private companies and the competing interests of xAI, SpaceX and Tesla. Until last year, the vast majority of Musk’s wealth came from his Tesla stock. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index pegs Musk’s wealth at about $385 billion, while Forbes estimates his wealth is at $436 billion. The difference is likely tied to his 2018 pay package, which is still in dispute and is valued at between $60 billion and $100 billion. If the compensation plan is restored, and/or he receives an interim comp package proposed in the proxy,…

The post ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, SHIB to put Bitcoin to sleep once Fed cuts come in—expert reveals when it will happen‬ ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Altcoin season is still in view, but the leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, must take the back seat in order for Altcoins to outperform. According to a prominent crypto investor and market player, this will happen once a reduction in the federal cut rate is announced.  In a post shared on X, Lark Davis, an entrepreneur and cryptocurrency investor, shared his outlook on the current state of the altcoin market. The Bitcoin proponent observed the current metrics reflecting that the majority of leading altcoins are still behind Bitcoin, and further asserted that the long-awaited altcoin season may not kick off anytime soon. However, a highly anticipated announcement could be the game-changer that positions Altcoins for a continuous upward rally.  “According to the Altcoin Season Index, it usually kicks off when 75% of the top 50 coins outperform Bitcoin over the last 90 days. So far, only 30 (60%) of the top 50 coins have outperformed $BTC in the past 90 days. So, we’re not there yet.” Davis wrote.  However, Lark Davis asserts that come October, when the fourth quarter of the year begins, a “full-blown altcoin season” could be in play, following the reduction in Fed rates.
