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.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Platform Developed on the Sui Blockchain Became a Target of Hackers! Here’s the Stolen Amount

The post Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Platform Developed on the Sui Blockchain Became a Target of Hackers! Here’s the Stolen Amount appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nemo Protocol, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Sui blockchain, was the target of a cyberattack that resulted in the loss of $2.4 million in stablecoins. Sui-Based Nemo Protocol Hit by $2.4 Million Hack Blockchain security firm PeckShield was the first to report the incident. The company reported that the attacker transferred the stolen USDC from Arbitrum to the Ethereum network. Following the attack, the Nemo team confirmed the incident and updated the community in a statement on Telegram today. “Dear Nemo community, a security incident occurred last night and our Market pool was affected. We are investigating the matter and have suspended all smart contract activity for the time being,” the statement read. The platform also previously announced that the Nemo app would undergo maintenance on Mondays and Tuesdays. Although the company announced that assets in all vaults are safe, the exact cause of the attack has not yet been shared. Nemo Protocol is a yield-trading platform built on the Sui network, focused on yield infrastructure and efficiency. It provides users with efficient trading, hedging, and leveraged trading through yield tokenization. This incident once again highlighted that security vulnerabilities still pose serious risks in the DeFi industry. *This is not investment advice.

USD soft but steady after payrolls – Scotiabank

USD soft but steady after payrolls – Scotiabank

The post USD soft but steady after payrolls – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The USD slumped in response to the weak US NFP data Friday and it retains a soft undertone today. The 22k gain in August jobs was well below expectations and downward revisions to the prior data left the 3 month average job gain at 29k. That is below the base of the broad, estimated breakeven range of job growth needed to keep the unemployment rate from rising. Moreover, June data was revised to –13k, the first negative print since December 2020, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. USD retains a soft undertone but may steady ahead of FOMC next week “The weak August data make a 25bps cut at the September 17th FOMC a lock. But revisions and the negative June print raises legitimate concerns that the Fed erred in not easing earlier and may be inclined to make a bolder more at its upcoming policy decision. Swaps are pricing in 28bps of easing risk for the 17th and 70bps of easing through December now. The dollar teetered Friday, with the EUR pushing briefly through major consolidation resistance in the low 1.17s and the DXY reaching its lowest since late July. But the sell-off failed to extend significantly.” “While the USD looks soft this morning markets may maintain a holding pattern ahead of the Fed and political risks elsewhere may be deflecting pressure on the USD to some extent. The JPY is underperforming (but well of its earlier low) following PM Ishiba’s decision to step down due to the LDP’s recent election setbacks. French PM Bayrou faces a confidence vote in parliament later today. A major cabinet reshuffle Friday by UK PM Starmer comes amid the evolving challenge of Farage’s Reform party. The EUR and GBP are little changed this morning after rebounding from early lows.…

Why America’s 10-year Treasury yield is suddenly going down, diverging from global peers

Why America’s 10-year Treasury yield is suddenly going down, diverging from global peers

The post Why America’s 10-year Treasury yield is suddenly going down, diverging from global peers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The 10-year US Treasury yield dropped sharply on Monday, falling over 2 basis points to 4.059%. That move came just days after it hit a major high above 5%, a level not seen since July. Now that might not sound huge, but in bond markets, it’s actually a meaningful dip, especially since the 2-year Treasury yield is also plunging, down over 2 basis points to 3.486%. And the 30-year Treasury yield tanked even harder, shedding over 4 basis points to 4.726%. For the uninitiated, a single basis point equals 0.01%, and yields move opposite to prices, always. Investors are awaiting two critical inflation reports this week for more insight into the health of the economy, after weaker-than-expected hiring data on Friday. The producer price index (PPI) report for August is due out Wednesday morning, followed by the consumer price index (CPI) on Thursday. The core CPI, which strips out food and energy, is expected to rise 0.3% month-over-month in August, according to a Reuters poll. There’s also a jobs market update coming on Tuesday when the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes its preliminary benchmark revision to employment data from March, along with first-quarter 2025 data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. Inflation data and jobs report hammer the 10-year yield The Federal Reserve is currently in its usual media blackout ahead of its next decision. But that hasn’t stopped the speculation from flying. Deutsche Bank economists said in a note Monday that these CPI and PPI numbers will directly affect pricing outlooks, especially with all the noise around tariffs. Ed Yardeni, who runs Yardeni Research, said this inflation data could stir debate over how fast the Fed keeps cutting or holding steady. Now let’s zoom out. Over the past week, bond markets worldwide have been under pressure. Yields…

USDT becomes the currency of the people

USDT becomes the currency of the people

The post USDT becomes the currency of the people appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Receipts, rent, and even condominium expenses are increasingly being settled in USDT: Tether’s stablecoin has quickly become the price benchmark in an economy marked by high inflation (estimated around 229% annually, IMF) and strict capital controls. In this context, the bolívar is retreating in daily transactions, while the “digital dollar” is emerging as a practical tool for payment and store of value. According to the data collected by our editorial team during reports in Caracas and other urban centers between 2023 and 2024, merchants, condominium administrators, and families describe an increasing daily use of USDT to pay for services and small supplies. Industry analysts observe that the combination of foreign currency remittances, high banking costs, and infrastructural issues has accelerated the adoption of stablecoins as an operational tool. What is changing now: from the neighborhood store to the condominium bulletin board In large cities as well as in inland areas, price lists in dollars and QR codes for payments in stablecoin are multiplying. The dynamic rests on the need to protect purchasing power and reduce friction in payments within a banking system that is often slow and costly. The result is a “hybrid” dollarization where cash and USDT coexist — with the latter increasingly taking on the role of a unit of account. Three Prices for the Same Dollar Official rate (BCV): formal reference published by the central bank (BCV), used for contracts and administrative procedures. Parallel market: reflects demand and supply on cash and incorporates the risk and liquidity spread. P2P Price of Stablecoins: the practical value at which USDT circulates on peer-to-peer platforms and networks, often the most liquid for merchants and consumers. Why the bolívar is retreating Protection from value erosion: with inflation in double or triple digits, savings in local currency quickly dwindle. Rapid transfers: instant…

South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details

South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details

The post South African-Based Company Aims to Acquire Bitcoin and Create a Crypto Treasury Reserve! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. South Africa-based Altvest Capital aims to raise $210 million to buy Bitcoin and create a crypto treasury reserve. The company aims to capitalize on Bitcoin’s nearly doubling in value over the past year. South Africa’s Altvest Plans to Raise $210 Million for Bitcoin Purchase Altvest founder and CEO Warren Wheatley announced that the company will also be renamed Africa Bitcoin Corp. This will make Altvest the first publicly traded company in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset. This strategy is similar to the model that has helped value companies like Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Japan-based Metaplanet. The company, which has a market capitalization of around 52.8 million rand ($3 million), plans to hold Bitcoin as a core reserve asset on its balance sheet, like cash or gold. Smaller companies are similarly raising funds to build their own Bitcoin reserves and attract long-term investors. Wheatley noted that many institutions, such as pension funds and investment trusts, cannot acquire Bitcoin directly, but they can gain indirect Bitcoin exposure through a regulated means through Altvest shares. The company plans to raise funds from both local and international investors and is preparing to list on global exchanges. It also aims to reach a wider investor base across the continent by listing on African exchanges such as Namibia, Botswana, and Kenya. Altvest’s subsidiary, Altvest Bitcoin Strategies Pty Ltd., will offer crypto services through licensed CAEP Asset Managers Pty Ltd. *This is not investment advice.

It recently announced a new acquisition, citing that it purchased an additional 1,955 BTC. The firm was faced with a setback from its rejection from the S&P 500, but its latest purchase suggests that it is unmoved by the turn of events. Another Bitcoin Acquisition in the Bag Strategy, or MicroStrategy as it was formerly known, has expanded its Bitcoin holdings with a new $271 million purchase. Each BTC was bought at an average price of $111,196. The price of Bitcoin is currently $111,959.15, with a 0.74% increase within the last 24 hours.

Strategy and Metaplanet scoop up 66% of newly mined Bitcoins

Strategy and Metaplanet scoop up 66% of newly mined Bitcoins

The post Strategy and Metaplanet scoop up 66% of newly mined Bitcoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s supply–demand balance narrowed further last week as corporate treasuries captured a dominant share of new issuance. Last week, two publicly traded firms, Strategy and Tokyo-listed Metaplanet, purchased more than $230 million worth of BTC. According to their separate announcements, their combined acquisitions, totaling 2,091 BTC, represented about two-thirds, or 66%, of all coins produced by miners during the reporting period. Strategy expands holdings despite S&P 500 snub On Sept. 8, Strategy confirmed it had purchased 1,955 BTC for $217.4 million, translating into about 62% of all coins mined during the week. Following this purchase, Strategy’s Bitcoin stash has climbed to 638,460 BTC, which is valued at $71.6 billion at current market prices. This equates to an unrealized profit of roughly 51.8% from the firm’s total investment of $47.17 billion. The company disclosed in its Form 8-K filing that the latest purchase was funded through proceeds from its at-the-market equity program, which raised capital across Strife, Strike, and MSTR stock issuances. In 2025, Strategy has raised more than $19 billion for Bitcoin purchases. Strategy Bitcoin Fundraise (Source: Strategy) Meanwhile, famed short seller Jim Chanos pointed out that the firm’s Bitcoin fundraising is increasingly relying on its MSTR stock issuance rather than the preferred stock options to fund recent Bitcoin purchases.
