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.

USD/CAD steadies near 1.3800 as Canada jobs slump offsets US Dollar weakness

USD/CAD steadies near 1.3800 as Canada jobs slump offsets US Dollar weakness

The post USD/CAD steadies near 1.3800 as Canada jobs slump offsets US Dollar weakness appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD steadies near 1.3800 after rebounding from a four-day low. Canada shed 65.5K jobs in August, unemployment rose to 7.1%, boosting BoC rate cut bets. US NFP showed only 22K jobs added, with unemployment at 4.3%, dragging the US Dollar and Treasury yields lower. The Canadian Dollar (CAD) weakens on Friday after dismal labor market data, but broad US Dollar (USD) softness following a weak US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report kept USD/CAD’s upside in check. The pair is holding near the 1.3800 handle, rebounding from a four-day low in the aftermath of the release. Canada’s economy shed 65.5K jobs in August, marking the steepest decline since January 2022, following a 40,800 drop in the previous month, and sharply missing forecasts for a 7,500 gain. While the Unemployment Rate rose to 7.1% from 6.9%. The Participation Rate slipped to 65.1%, pointing to broader labor market slack, though Average Hourly Wages rose 3.6% YoY, up from 3.5% previously. The weak report reinforced expectations that the Bank of Canada (BoC) will cut rates at its September 17 meeting, weighing on the Loonie. In fixed income markets, Canadian government bond yields fell sharply, with the 10-year yield dropping to 3.26%, its lowest level since June 24, as investors ramped up bets on BoC easing. The slump in domestic yields deepened pressure on the CAD, offsetting the effect of broad US Dollar weakness. In the United States, the August NFP report also undershot expectations, with the economy adding only 22K jobs versus the 75K forecast. The Unemployment Rate climbed to 4.3%, its highest since late 2021, while wage growth held steady at 0.3% MoM and 3.7% YoY. The data drove US Treasury yields lower, with the 10-year at 4.09% and the 2-year at 3.50%, both at their lowest since April 7. The US Dollar Index…

US dollar just posted its fifth straight weekly loss, the longest since April 2023

US dollar just posted its fifth straight weekly loss, the longest since April 2023

The dollar just recorded its fifth straight week of losses, the worst losing streak since April 2023. This drop followed a weak U.S. labor market report that hit traders like a freight train. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index slumped as much as 0.7% on Friday, locking in another brutal week for the currency. So far this year, the dollar has fallen more than 8% against a group of global currencies. The moment the jobs data hit, traders flipped. They locked in bets that the Federal Reserve will cut rates this month, and not just a small trim. Some are even putting money on a half-point cut. Traders price in Fed cuts as inflation looms “After this report, markets will likely be priced dovishly for the Fed path,” said Jayati Bharadwaj, strategist at TD Securities. She added, “We maintain a bearish dollar structural view with an eye out for near-term bounce.” This bearish movement is gaining speed. Traders now expect the Fed to return to full-on monetary easing. Friday’s weak payroll numbers only fueled that. On top of that, investors are watching fiscal risks and former President Donald Trump’s tariffs, both weighing down the dollar like dead weight. “Today’s report was not great and just adds fuel to the fire of the idea that the Fed is slipping well behind the curve,” said Brad Bechtel, global head of FX at Jefferies. He added, “Market expectations for more rate cuts makes sense and next week’s inflation report is likely make or break on the dollar.” That report lands on Thursday. Estimates from Bloomberg suggest inflation will heat up in August. It’s expected to rise after staying locked at 2.7% for both June and July. If that number spikes, rate-cut pressure could ease. But if inflation stays calm, or even just drops, the Fed might finally blink. Traders aren’t waiting. Hedge funds and other speculators are already stacking bearish bets. As of the week ending August 26, net short positions on the dollar hit $5.6 billion, based on Commodity Futures Trading Commission data. These bets have stayed negative since April, and they’re growing. On Friday, the entire group of major currencies rose against the greenback. The yen and Swiss franc both gained around 1%. But Canada’s loonie trailed after jobs data showed the country lost positions for the second month in a row. That raises the chances the Bank of Canada will also cut rates soon, adding more pressure to the dollar across North America.

Pi Coin (PI) Announces New Update – Here Are the Details

The post Pi Coin (PI) Announces New Update – Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Network (PI) is rolling out its recently announced upgrades inspired by the Stellar-based Protocol 23. According to the statements, these updates aim to increase the functionality of the blockchain and ensure the long-term sustainability of the network. The main innovations announced to come with the updates are as follows, according to the developers’ own statements: Protocol v23 Update: The transition from the older v19 version to Protocol v23 introduces modular smart contract layers and improved consensus mechanisms for developers, enabling the creation of more complex decentralized applications (dApps). Linux Support: The newly released Linux node software extends Pi Network’s decentralized infrastructure beyond Windows and macOS systems, allowing the network to expand to a broader validator base. KYC Integration: The update embeds the Know Your Customer (KYC) process directly into the protocol, enabling third-party authorities to assist with the verification process. This aims to ease the transition of Pi users to the Mainnet.

USD/JPY drops toward 147.00 as USD weakens after NFP data

USD/JPY drops toward 147.00 as USD weakens after NFP data

The post USD/JPY drops toward 147.00 as USD weakens after NFP data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/JPY stays under bearish pressure in the American session on Friday. The US Dollar (USD) suffers heavy losses following the dismal labor market data. Falling US Treasury bond yields further weigh on USD/JPY. After spending the first half of the day comfortably above 148.00, USD/JPY reversed its direction in the American session and dropped toward 147.00. As of writing, the pair was down 0.75% on the day at 147.30. US Dollar Price Today The table below shows the percentage change of US Dollar (USD) against listed major currencies today. US Dollar was the weakest against the New Zealand Dollar. USD EUR GBP JPY CAD AUD NZD CHF USD -0.62% -0.68% -0.74% -0.08% -0.99% -0.99% -0.77% EUR 0.62% -0.03% -0.19% 0.55% -0.27% -0.35% -0.15% GBP 0.68% 0.03% -0.12% 0.58% -0.22% -0.33% -0.08% JPY 0.74% 0.19% 0.12% 0.72% -0.18% -0.22% 0.13% CAD 0.08% -0.55% -0.58% -0.72% -0.85% -0.91% -0.67% AUD 0.99% 0.27% 0.22% 0.18% 0.85% -0.10% 0.16% NZD 0.99% 0.35% 0.33% 0.22% 0.91% 0.10% 0.25% CHF 0.77% 0.15% 0.08% -0.13% 0.67% -0.16% -0.25% The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the US Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent USD (base)/JPY (quote). The sharp decline seen in the US Treasury bond yields and the heavy selling pressure surrounding the US Dollar (USD) cause USD/JPY to push lower heading into the weekend. The monthly data published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed on Friday that Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) rose by 22,000 in August, missing analysts’ estimate of 75,000 by a wide margin. Additionally, “the change…

EUR/USD surges above 1.1700 as weak US NFP drags US Dollar and yields lower

EUR/USD surges above 1.1700 as weak US NFP drags US Dollar and yields lower

The post EUR/USD surges above 1.1700 as weak US NFP drags US Dollar and yields lower appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro (EUR) rallies against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday after the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report disappointed with just 22K jobs added in August, far below the 75K expected and July’s 79K (revised from 73K). The Unemployment Rate rose to 4.3% from 4.2%, while Average Hourly Earnings rose 0.3% MoM and 3.7% YoY, in line with forecasts. EUR/USD surged over 40 pips to trade around 1.1740, up nearly 0.70% on the day. The softer jobs data highlighted ongoing weakness in the US labor market, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut rates at its September 16-17 meeting. While markets are already pricing in a 25 basis point (bps) cut, the weak headline payrolls print is likely to fuel speculation over the possibility of a larger 50 bps move to counter slowing growth. US Treasury yields tumbled in response, with the 10-year falling to 4.09% and the rate-sensitive 2-year dropping to 3.50%, both at their lowest levels since April 7. The sharp decline in yields reflected mounting expectations of deeper Fed easing, adding further pressure on the Greenback. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback against six major peers, weakened sharply after the release, slipping below 98.00 to trade near 97.65, down nearly 0.65% on the day. The index is hovering near the lower end of the narrow range established since August. Meanwhile, EUR/USD is also testing the upper end of its recent range near 1.1730. A breakout above this level could open the way toward the July 24 high at 1.1789, while immediate support is seen at 1.1700 and the 50-day SMA at 1.1666.
