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.

PPI inflation August 2025:

PPI inflation August 2025:

The post PPI inflation August 2025: appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. People shop for dairy products at a supermarket in Monterey Park, California on September 9, 2025. Frederic J. Brown | Afp | Getty Images Wholesale prices surprisingly fell slightly in August, providing breathing room for the Federal Reserve to approve an interest rate cut at its meeting this month, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report Wednesday. The producer price index, which measures input costs across a broad array of goods and services, fell 0.1% for the month, after a sharp increase in July and well off the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.3% increase. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also was off 0.1% after being expected to increase 0.3% as well. The release comes a week ahead of when the central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee releases its decision on its key overnight borrowing rate. Futures market pricing implies a 100% probability that the committee will approve its first rate cut since December 2024, though the PPI release and a consumer price reading tomorrow are being watched closely for indications of whether policymakers will follow through. Services prices, a key metric for the Fed when evaluating the stance of monetary policy, posted a 0.2% drop, helping drive wholesale inflation lower. A 1.7% slide in prices for trade services was the primary impetus, with margins for machinery and vehicle wholesaling tumbling 3.9%. Goods prices did increase, but just 0.1% as core prices increased 0.3%. While final demand food costs were up 0.1%, energy was off 0.4%. Though inflation remains well above the Fed’s 2% target, officials have expressed confidence that easing housing and wage pressures will push prices lower, if only gradually. The Fed has resisted rate cuts this year as officials monitor the impact from President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariffs against U.S. imports. Tariffs…

Latest Data Revealed: One Whale Opened Long Bitcoin and Two Altcoins, Another Whale Started Profit Selling! Here Are the Altcoins They Traded!

The post Latest Data Revealed: One Whale Opened Long Bitcoin and Two Altcoins, Another Whale Started Profit Selling! Here Are the Altcoins They Traded! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin and altcoins have been trending downwards in recent weeks, with Ethereum (ETH) reaching a new ATH last week, surpassing $4,900. However, while the FED is expected to announce an interest rate cut decision next week, an increase is also expected following this decision. The expectation of a rise also mobilized whales. According to Lookonchain’s post, the whale with address 0x6636 opened a long position for Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and SUI with maximum leverage about 7 hours ago. Accordingly, the whale opened a 40x long position in BTC, 20x in SOL, and 10x in SUI. According to the data, the whale’s long positions were as follows: “540 BTC ($60 million) 114,984 SOL ($24.86 million) 868,196 SUI ($3 million)” Profit Sale in Worldcoin! Apart from this, a giant whale made large transactions in Worldcoin, which has experienced a huge rise in recent days. According to Lookonchain’s post, a whale named 0x4dC3 invested 1.55M WLD (worth $2.69 million) in FalconX to make a profit. Whale purchased 6.18 million WLD ($7.75 million at the time) from FalconX in May and June at an average price of $1.25. The whale still currently has assets of 4.64M WLD $9.36 million, with total profits worth $4.3 million. *This is not investment advice.

AI agents can now pay APIs with USDC in 200 ms as Coinbase activates x402 Bazaar

AI agents can now pay APIs with USDC in 200 ms as Coinbase activates x402 Bazaar

The post AI agents can now pay APIs with USDC in 200 ms as Coinbase activates x402 Bazaar appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has launched x402 Bazaar for AI agent-powered x402 micropayments. The catalog exposes a machine-readable index of services that accept pay-per-request USDC payments and is positioned as a discovery layer for agents and developers integrating the x402 protocol. Coinbase says Bazaar is in early development, and today, it indexes endpoints that settle through its hosted facilitator. x402 revives the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code and a repeat-request flow in which the client attaches a signed payment payload. Coinbase’s hosted facilitator verifies and settles the payment, so sellers do not need blockchain infrastructure, and the company states it charges no facilitator fee for USDC on Base. Per Coinbase’s docs, current network support is USDC on Base mainnet and Base Sepolia, with additional assets on the roadmap. See the x402 overview, the facilitator documentation, and HTTP 402 background on MDN. The whitepaper frames the economics around sub-second confirmations and negligible gas. It compares “x402 (on Base)” with a 200 millisecond settlement path and nominal gas far below one ten-thousandth of a dollar, contrasting card fees and batch settlement. Bazaar’s list endpoint returns structured JSON for each resource, including accepted asset, network, destination address, and the maximum amount required, expressed in the token’s atomic units. The example shows a maxAmountRequired of 200 for USDC on Base, equal to $0.000200 at 6-decimal precision, illustrating the system’s intended price granularity for per-call payments. On the execution path, Base’s Flashblocks feature adds 200-millisecond preconfirmations that shorten the perceived confirmation time for interactive apps. Once network latency is included, infrastructure providers report typical end-to-end acknowledgments closer to 300–500 ms, while Base’s standard block time remains two seconds. For metered APIs, this latency budget can make priced retries practical without degrading user experience. See Base Flashblocks and a provider explainer on Chainstack. Under the hood, most current…

Indian federal ministers disclose digital asset holdings for second consecutive year

Indian federal ministers disclose digital asset holdings for second consecutive year

PANews reported on September 10th that Indian Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary's cryptocurrency investments increased by 19% to $25,500 (Rs. 21.31 million). This marks the second consecutive year that an Indian cabinet member has disclosed their digital asset holdings, at a time when India's broader cryptocurrency policy remains mired in regulatory turmoil. His disclosure coincided with an 18% increase in his spouse's portfolio to $26,800 (Rs. 22.42 million). Both cited "personal savings" as the source of the funds, but did not specify the types of cryptocurrencies held. India once again topped Chainalysis' 2025 Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Index, yet its regulatory framework lags far behind grassroots momentum. Earlier today, news broke that India rejected comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation, citing concerns about systemic risks.

Google Cloud removes multi-cloud data transfer fees ahead of new EU data laws

Google Cloud removes multi-cloud data transfer fees ahead of new EU data laws

The post Google Cloud removes multi-cloud data transfer fees ahead of new EU data laws appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google Cloud has introduced a Data Transfer Essentials plan that allows customers to perform multicloud workload data transfers free of charge. The new program comes ahead of the Data Act, which was introduced in January last year and will take effect on September 12, 2025.  The EU Data Act was introduced to foster competition in the cloud market, which is highly dominated by AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP. The act requires cloud providers to charge data transfer fees “at cost,” but Google has chosen to remove the charge, according to Jeanette Manfra, Senior Director of Global Risk and Compliance at GCP.  Google’s Data Essentials program aims to encourage cloud adoption Google’s goal is to make multicloud strategies more accessible to businesses and promote the adoption of its cloud services across platforms. According to Google’s statement, the new plan will also increase operational resilience, reduce downtime, and provide greater flexibility in managing cloud workloads.  GCP’s competitors, including AWS and Microsoft, responded earlier. Last month, Microsoft implemented the “at cost” fees, and Amazon allowed EU customers to request reduced costs for specific use cases. The “at cost” model will enable customers to perform data transfers across multiple cloud providers at a reduced rate. The UK Competition and Markets Authority has highlighted before that Microsoft’s licensing practices potentially limit competitors. Conversely, Google has aligned itself with the goals of providing organizations with more freedom to switch providers and eliminate vendor domination.  The Data Essentials program is configurable via GCP. Qualifying multicloud traffic is metered separately but billed at zero cost. According to Google’s press release, the other traffic will continue to be charged independently within the existing rates.  Cryptopolitan initially reported that Alphabet’s cloud platform holds approximately $106 billion in current contracts. CEO Thomas Kurian expects about 55% of it to be converted…

Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   Matt Hougan, de CIO van Bitwise, zei dat banken betere beloningen moeten geven aan klanten om stablecoins tegen te gaan. Hij vindt dat banken niet mogen klagen over de ‘bedreiging van stablecoins’ en de competitie aan moeten gaan.  Maar waarom zegt Hougan dit? En wat laat het zien over de stablecoin markt? En hoe staat het ervoor in Nederland? Bitwise CIO: ‘Banken moeten betere beloningen geven’ Matt Hougan van Bitwise liet in een bericht op X weten dat Amerikaanse banken niet moeten klagen over de ‘bedreiging van stablecoins’. These scare articles about stablecoins destroying local lending markets are absurd. If local banks are worried about competition from stablecoins, they should pay more interest on deposits. They’re only worried because they’ve been abusing depositors as a free source of… https://t.co/WDALrdLxGp — Matt Hougan (@Matt_Hougan) September 9, 2025 Hij laat dit weten als reactie op een artikel van Bloomberg. Bloomberg schildert stablecoins in haar artikel af als een bedreiging voor lokale banken. Hougan vindt dit klinkklare onzin. In zijn bericht laat hij weten: “Als lokale banken zich zorgen maken over de concurrentie van stablecoins, zouden ze meer rente moeten betalen over deposito’s. Ze maken zich alleen zorgen omdat ze depositohouders al tientallen jaren misbruiken als gratis bron van kapitaal.” Hougan zegt dat ‘angstaanjagende artikelen over stablecoins die lokale kredietmarkten vernietigen absurd zijn’. Wie is Matt Hougan? Matt Hougan is Chief Investment Officer bij Bitwise Asset Management, een van de bekendste fondshuizen in de crypto-industrie. Hij speelt een centrale rol in de ontwikkeling van beleggingsproducten die digitale activa toegankelijk maken voor institutionele en particuliere investeerders. Hougan staat bekend om zijn heldere analyses van de markt en zijn inspanningen om crypto in te bedden binnen de bredere financiële sector. Met zijn werk aan ETF’s en indexfondsen draagt hij bij aan de professionalisering en legitimiteit van de cryptomarkt. In het rapport van Bloomberg wordt er specifiek gekeken naar kleinere banken, die lokaal of regionaal te werk gaan. Volgens het rapport hebben deze banken last van concurrentie van stablecoins omdat ze afhankelijk zijn van deposito’s van klanten voor kredietverlening. Stablecoins bieden een alternatief voor spaarrekeningen door hogere rentes te bieden. Hierdoor hebben veel mensen geld opgenomen van banken. Bitwise’s Hougan zegt dat het kan resulteren in dat banken minder krediet kunnen verstrekken omdat ze minder deposito’s hebben. Toch zegt hij dat dit niets betekent voor de kredietmarkt. Mensen met stablecoins kunnen krediet rechtstreeks aan leners verstrekken via DeFi-platforms. “De verliezer hier zijn de winstmarges van banken. De winnaar hier zijn individuele spaarders. De economie zal het prima doen.” Beter rendement op stablecoins De rente op stablecoins is over het algemeen beter dan op spaarrekeningen. De gemiddelde spaarrente in de VS is 0,6%, volgens gegevens van Bankrate. Van dit rendement moeten nog inflatie en bankkosten afgetrokken worden. Hierdoor verliezen consumenten vaak geld als ze het een lange tijd op een spaarrekening laten staan. Hierdoor zijn er steeds meer voorstanders van stablecoins. Stablecoins bieden tussen de 3% en 15% aan jaarlijks rendement. Daarnaast hebben ze ook andere voordelen ten opzichte van banken. Zo bieden stablecoins snellere transacties tegen lagere kosten en is bewaren gratis. In de Verenigde Staten zijn banken hard aan het lobbyen tegen rendement op stablecoins. Ze willen een aanpassing van de GENIUS Act, die stablecoins reguleert. De cryptosector wil juist deze concurrentie behouden. Hoe staat het ervoor met rendement op stablecoins in Nederland? Met de komst van de GENIUS Act in de Verenigde Staten is rendement op stablecoins legaal. Toch is dit in Europa een ander geval. Met de komst van de Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regelgeving is het verboden voor gecentraliseerde cryptodiensten om stablecoin rendement aan te bieden. De enige manier om dit te doen in Nederland, is door gebruik te maken van decentrale platforms, zoals Aave. Dit laat zien dat de banken de strijd in Europa al gewonnen hebben. In de Verenigde Staten is de strijd nog gaande. Daar heeft de cryptomarkt een voordeel met de komst van president Donald Trump, die de status van de cryptomarkt in het land flink heeft verbeterd. Toch is ook hij beïnvloedbaar door banken.
