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.

The post Metaplanet Bitcoin holdings expand to nearly 19K: Behind this accumulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Tokyo-listed Metaplanet continues aggressively expanding its Bitcoin reserves, now holding nearly 19,000 BTC, while integrating crypto into its corporate strategy and FTSE Japan Index inclusion. Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed company, has boosted its Bitcoin [BTC] holdings by 103 coins, valued at approximately $11.8 million. The latest purchase brings the company’s total holdings to 18,991 Bitcoin, acquired at an average price of 15.05 million yen per coin, now valued at over $2.14 billion. Metaplanet’s latest Bitcoin acquisition forms part of its structured Bitcoin Treasury Operations, a strategy the company formalized last year to position Bitcoin as a central component of its corporate reserves. The program channels capital raised through share issuances and bond offerings directly into Bitcoin purchases, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to the digital asset as a strategic reserve. Metaplanet President Simon Gerovich weighs in Since launching its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in April 2024, the Tokyo-listed hotel group has rapidly climbed the ranks, currently holding the seventh-largest public corporate Bitcoin reserves globally, according to Bitcointreasuries data.

ETH retraces after ATH: Can returning buyers push Ethereum back above $4.8K?

ETH retraces after ATH: Can returning buyers push Ethereum back above $4.8K?

The post ETH retraces after ATH: Can returning buyers push Ethereum back above $4.8K? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Ethereum rallied to a new ATH of $4955, then retraced to $4633 at press time. The altcoin experienced intense speculative capital, positioning it for a significant move to the upside or downside. Ethereum [ETH] rallied to a new all-time high of $4955, before retracing to a local low of $4613. At press time, Ethereum was trading at $4633, marking a 2.75% dip over the past day. The recent jump to a new ATH has left crypto analysts talking about Ethereum’s prospects. Among them is Alphractal analysts who projected significant price movement, citing increased capital inflow.  Capital inflow into Ethereum heats up  According to Alphractal, two primary metrics have signaled massive speculative strength in Ethereum. For starters, Ethereum’s Realized Cap Impulse indicated that long-term realized capitalization expanded significantly.  Source: Alphractal Often, when this metric expands, it signals solid capital inflows and supply-demand dynamics that significantly support price movements.   At the same time, Ethereum’s Market Temperature indicated market heating, with three main things showing up. This implied that Ethereum investors were massively active, with market sentiment remaining elevated, while the risk of volatility rose.  Source: Alphractal This set up positions in Ethereum for major price moves in the short term, either to the upside or downside.  Profitability at historical levels Amid massive capital inflow, Ethereum long-term investors have enjoyed enormous profit margins. According to Santiment, Ethereum’s MVRV Long Short Difference has surged to a yearly high of 31.54%.  Source: Santiment Usually, when this metric spikes, it indicates LTH’s profit margins have outpaced STH’s. LTH’s unrealized profit is relatively high. So, long-term holders are highly confident in the market and not offloading despite the rally.   Institutional buyers are taking a break Surprisingly, while Ethereum has rallied to an all-time high, institutional investors have taken a step back.  According to CryptoQuant, Ethereum has…

Solana Price Pullback Could Deepen as Two Bearish Markers Emerge

Solana Price Pullback Could Deepen as Two Bearish Markers Emerge

The post Solana Price Pullback Could Deepen as Two Bearish Markers Emerge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana price climbed as high as $213 on August 25 but could not hold the breakout. The token has since slipped by 3.6% to trade around $200. Weekly gains still stand at 10.7% and monthly gains at 7%, showing strength in the broader trend. But the recent rejection near $213 has sparked a pullback, and two bearish markers now point toward the risk of deeper losses. Profit-Taking Points Toward A Deeper Correction Profit booking has been one of the clearest signals behind Solana’s recent moves. Every time realized profits have spiked, the price has quickly retreated. Realized profit tracks the gain booked when coins are moved; higher spikes mean more holders are selling at a profit, while lower readings suggest fewer sellers are cashing out. Solana Price And Profit Taking: Glassnode On July 22, a profit-taking spike at $205 was followed by a 23% drop to $158. But that wasn’t all. On August 13, realized profit spiked above $500 million. Price corrected from $201 to $185, a close to 10% drop. On August 20, another local profit-taking peak drove the price from $187.95 to $180.35, nearly a 4% dip. On August 24, realized profit jumped again near the $213 high, raising the risk of a repeat move. If Solana mirrors these past patterns, a drop close to 20% from $213 would place the price near $175. This zone has already acted as a steady base during earlier corrections, making it a level that traders cannot ignore. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. Buyer Momentum Weakens As Sellers Step In The pullback is reinforced by fading buyer strength. Between August 13 and August 25, the Solana price made a higher high from $204 to $213. Yet, momentum in the form of RSI…

Saylor added that the firm’s Bitcoin position is showing a 25.4 percent yield so far this year, underscoring the group’s conviction despite recent price softness in the wider digital-asset market.

Kevin O’Leary says he bought for $13 million

Kevin O’Leary says he bought for $13 million

The post Kevin O’Leary says he bought for $13 million appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Canadian investor Kevin O’Leary revealed on CNBC on Monday that he was one of three buyers to snap up the record-breaking Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan sports card at auction over the weekend. The card, a signed collectible featuring both NBA legends, sold for nearly $13 million, surpassing the previous record for the most-expensive trading card sold at auction, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311, which went for $12.6 million in August 2022, according to auction house Heritage, which sold both cards. As of the completion of the Bryant-Jordan sale, the buyers remained anonymous. O’Leary told CNBC he bought the card along with two other investors, Matt Allen and Paul Warshaw, to form a syndicate and avoid competing. “We bought it together, yes we did,” O’Leary said on “Squawk Box” on Monday, adding the three got together on a 3 a.m. Zoom call to buy the card. “I’m very proud to own it.” The 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Courtesy: Heritage Auctions | HA.com Sports collectibles have been gaining steam in recent years, with notable jerseys and even personal watches of athletes coming up on the block and fetching millions. The Bryant-Jordan card featured the NBA uniform logos and signatures of both players and came up for sale on the late Bryant’s birthday. O’Leary said he doesn’t believe the card will come to the market again in his lifetime. “It’s going to be a part of an index that I’m going to continue to grow along with my partners,” he said. “We look at it no different than our bitcoin holdings, our ethereum holdings, our gold holdings.” He added that he doesn’t believe sports card trading is only driven by the growing 1% of wealth, like art trading might be, saying that…

More data is needed to decide whether a September rate cut is warranted

More data is needed to decide whether a September rate cut is warranted

The post More data is needed to decide whether a September rate cut is warranted appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. St. Louis Federal Reserve President Alberto Musalem said on Friday he will need more data before deciding to support a rate cut at the September meeting, warning inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% targe, per Reuters. Key quotes It is real that inflation is running closer to 3% than to 2%. That’s real, and there is a possibility, not the base case, that there could be some persistence. So that’s one risk against the unrealized risk, not real yet, of a potential labor market deterioration. Policy now is in the right place for a full employment labor market and inflation running above target. It’s in the right place … to be leaning against inflation. But that’s at a full employment labor market. If you happen to assess there’s risk to the labor market, then that initial policy setting needs to be adjusted. I will be updating my outlook and balance of risks all the way up and until two days, three days before the meeting. Then I’m going to decide. Market reaction At the time of press, the US Dollar Index (DXY) was up 0.09% on the day at 97.80. Fed FAQs Monetary policy in the US is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these goals is by adjusting interest rates. When prices are rising too quickly and inflation is above the Fed’s 2% target, it raises interest rates, increasing borrowing costs throughout the economy. This results in a stronger US Dollar (USD) as it makes the US a more attractive place for international investors to park their money. When inflation falls below 2% or the Unemployment Rate is too high, the Fed may lower interest rates to encourage borrowing, which weighs on the…
