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.

Viewership Slides For Series Finale Of HBO Max’s ‘And Just Like That…’

Viewership Slides For Series Finale Of HBO Max’s ‘And Just Like That…’

The post Viewership Slides For Series Finale Of HBO Max’s ‘And Just Like That…’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sarah Jessica Parker, left, and Sarita Choudhury on HBO Max’s recently ended “And Just Like That.” Craig Blankenhorn/Max And Just Like That… just didn’t draw as much interest for this year’s season finale, which was also the sometimes-controversial comedy’s series finale. Viewership slipped for the season 3 ender, which aired August 14 on HBO Max. The episode averaged 509,000 U.S. households during the live-plus-three-day viewing period, according to Samba TV, which provides TV technology for audience data and omniscreen measurement. That was up very slightly (1%) over the previous week’s episode, part one of the two-part series ender and up a good deal from the season 3 premiere. But it was off 7% from the season 2 finale, which averaged 544,000 U.S. households in 2023. And it was less than half the 1.1 million U.S. households that tuned in for the season one premiere. The show had seen marked declines since that highly anticipated return. Notably, the show skewed older. Households 45-54, who were slightly younger than the women they watched on screen, overindexed by 14% for the series finale. The show still drew solid numbers for HBO Max, which has a smaller distribution than a behemoth like Netflix. But there’s no denying that the once-golden comedy starring Sarah Jessica Parker lost steam as the reboot continued. Why Did Viewership For And Just Like That… Decline? It may have been inevitable that And Just Like That… would drop off. Its return was a huge cultural milestone, coming more than a decade after the foursome of the original series left their hugely successful run. So when HBO Max announced the series reboot, it received massive attention and likely drew many curious viewers who perhaps did not have the devotion to the original. The series originally aired on HBO from 1998 to…

Has The Bitcoin Price Bull Market Topped?

Has The Bitcoin Price Bull Market Topped?

The post Has The Bitcoin Price Bull Market Topped? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The bitcoin price recently retraced nearly $10,000 after setting a new all-time high of $124,000 on August 14. The sharp drop to the $114,000-115,000 range has reignited debate about whether the bull market has peaked. But in percentage terms, the move is just a 7.8% retracement — a normal fluctuation for bitcoin. By analyzing on-chain data, ETF flows, and macro conditions, we can assess whether this is the end of the cycle or just a healthy reset before further gains. Bitcoin Price Action and Technicals The bitcoin price remains well above major support zones. The pullback has found stability near the 50-day moving average, while the 100-day MA (~$110,000) offers additional confluence with the May peak. Historically, retracements of 30%+ have been common in bull markets, meaning this 7.8% decline is relatively minor. Bitcoin Price and Long-Term Holder Confidence Data reveals that long-term holders (LTHs) are increasing their bitcoin supply, signaling unwillingness to sell at current price levels. This suggests two things: Veteran holders expect a higher bitcoin price in the future. New demand is temporarily slowing, creating short-term stagnation. Bitcoin Price and ETF Inflows Institutional demand through ETFs has cooled, with net inflows slowing after peaking alongside the bitcoin price. When averaged over 28 days, flows tend to align with market highs, and the recent slowdown points to a deceleration of fresh capital inflows rather than a full reversal. Sustained ETF demand will be critical for driving the next phase of the bitcoin price rally. Bitcoin Price and Derivatives Market Signals Funding rates have turned negative in recent sessions, meaning most traders are betting against the bitcoin price. Historically, negative funding rates often coincide with local bottoms that precede sharp rebounds. This supports the view that the bitcoin price bull market is not over.

Silver flat near $38.00 as Trump-Zelenskyy meeting fuels caution

Silver flat near $38.00 as Trump-Zelenskyy meeting fuels caution

The post Silver flat near $38.00 as Trump-Zelenskyy meeting fuels caution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Silver trades flat near $38.00 on Monday, pressured by a firm US Dollar and rising Treasury yields. Caution prevails ahead of the Trump–Zelenskyy meeting, with Silver underpinned by lingering uncertainty following the inconclusive Trump-Putin talks. Silver remains range-bound below $38.50, with a double-top pattern and converging moving averages signaling fading momentum. Silver (XAG/USD) is treading water around $38.00 on Monday, as traders stay on the sidelines ahead of a key meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. A firm US Dollar (USD) and rising Treasury yields are capping upside potential, keeping pressure on the non-yielding metal. The benchmark 10-year yield has climbed to 4.345% and the 30-year stands at 4.946%, both trading at 11-day highs. The rise in yields is pressuring precious metals by raising the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like Silver. From a technical standpoint, Silver is hovering just above the neckline of a bearish double-top formation that has developed in the $38.50-$39.00 region. The pattern highlights persistent rejection from key resistance, suggesting that upside momentum is losing steam. A decisive break below the horizontal support at $37.50 could open the door for a deeper pullback toward $36.50 and possibly $35.50. The 21-period and 50-period Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) on the 4-hour chart are converging near current price levels, further signaling consolidation and waning directional bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near the neutral 50 mark, offering no strong directional signals, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is showing a flat bias, with the MACD and signal lines showing early signs of converging around the zero line. This setup reinforces the view that the metal is currently in a consolidation phase, with neither bulls nor bears asserting control decisively. That said, the downside remains cushioned for now, as broader…

Crypto Bleeds Ahead of Powell's Jackson Hole Speech — Eight Reasons Traders Are Nervous

Crypto Bleeds Ahead of Powell's Jackson Hole Speech — Eight Reasons Traders Are Nervous

Cryptocurrencies and related stocks extended losses Tuesday as traders braced for the release of the Fed's release of the FOMC minutes on Wednesday and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday.Bitcoin dropped 3.2% in the past 24 hours to slip below $114,000, while ether fell 5.3% to under $4,200. XRP tumbled 6.2%, Cardano's ADA slid 8% and the broader crypto market was down 3.2%. Shares of crypto-related companies, such as bitcoin miners, crypto exchanges and digital asset treasury firms suffered even bigger losses, with MARA, COIN and MSTR closing today's regular session down 5.72%, 5.82% and 7.43%, respectively.By contrast, in general, U.S. equities suffered less: the Dow ended flat, the S&P 500 fell 0.59%, and the Nasdaq slid 1.46%. The disparity underscores how digital assets, which rely heavily on cheap liquidity, are more exposed to shifts in rate expectations than traditional stocks.Investors now face a pivotal calendar. On Aug. 20 at 2 p.m. ET, the Fed will release minutes from the FOMC meeting held July 29–30, offering insight into policymakers’ tariff and inflation debates. From Aug. 21–23, central bankers gather for the Jackson Hole symposium, with Powell’s keynote set for Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. ET. Together, the minutes and Powell’s speech could define market expectations for the September policy meeting.Tariffs’ Delayed BiteMany companies have absorbed tariff costs to protect market share, but analysts warn they cannot do so indefinitely. Once passed on to consumers, these costs could drive prices higher and force the Fed to wait before cutting.Sticky Inflation DataDespite some cooling, inflation gauges remain elevated. The producer price index, a key wholesale measure, has been hotter than forecast, suggesting persistent pressures that complicate any case for aggressive easing.Corporate LimitsU.S. executives have signaled they will eventually be forced to shift tariff costs downstream. If that happens, consumer inflation could accelerate in the coming months, making a September cut seem premature.Mixed Economic SignalsThe U.S. economy shows both slowing job growth and resilient consumer demand. This uneven picture could encourage Powell to argue for patience until the Fed has clearer evidence that growth can withstand tariff-driven costs.Policy UncertaintyTariffs intersect with fiscal and trade policies in unpredictable ways. That complexity increases the risk of missteps, making a hawkish tone at Jackson Hole more likely.Lessons From HistoryThe tariff shocks of 2018–2019 produced delayed but meaningful inflation, prompting Fed caution. Powell may draw on that precedent to justify holding back this time.Forward-Looking IndicatorsThe upcoming release of fresh economic data, including Thursday’s release of preliminary August data on manufacturing and services activity, could show tariff-related cost pressures building. Powell could point to these as another reason for prudence.Internal DivisionsMinutes from the July FOMC meeting may reveal a split inside the Fed. With hawks focused on inflation and doves emphasizing jobs, Powell may stress the need for consensus, which often favors waiting.For crypto, the stakes are clear. Higher-for-longer rates curb the liquidity that fuels speculative rallies, raising financing costs for miners and weighing on exchange activity. If Powell signals caution, the sell-off in tokens and crypto-linked equities could deepen. A dovish surprise, however, might offer the spark for a rebound.

Electricity Prices Are Rising Thanks To Tariffs, Clean Energy Cuts, AI

Electricity Prices Are Rising Thanks To Tariffs, Clean Energy Cuts, AI

The post Electricity Prices Are Rising Thanks To Tariffs, Clean Energy Cuts, AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Electricity bills have increased almost 10% since the start of the year and could rise another $170 per year for households by 2035 thanks to the repeal of clean energy tax credits, new tariffs and rapid expansion of electricity-hungry data centers to fuel a boom in artificial intelligence, multiple reports have shown. Electricity transmission towers. Getty Images Key Facts Residential electricity bills have increased by almost 10% since President Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as president, according to data from the Energy Information Administration, rising from 15.95 cents per kilowatthour in January to 17.47 cents in May, the latest data available. The cost of electricity has risen 5.5% over the last 12 months, according to the latest consumer price index data, almost twice as much as the overall cost of living (up 2.7%). Trump has repeatedly promised to lower utility bills, but multiple reports released this summer blame his moves imposing new tariffs, cutting clean energy sources and supporting the expansion of data centers as reasons for the spikes in price. Climate think tank Energy Innovation estimates energy provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law July 4, will increase wholesale electricity prices by 74% over the next 10 years, leading to a household energy cost increase of $170 annually by 2035. Tariffs on steel, aluminum and their derivatives stand to increase the cost of construction and maintenance on transmission lines, substations and power plants, likely to be passed onto customers over time, and energy imports from Canada and Mexico are also subject to tariffs. Trump’s support of AI—he has vowed the U.S. will become “the world capital of artificial intelligence and crypto”—is also fueling the rise of power-hungry data centers, sending the demand for electricity (and its price) soaring.

KindlyMD Buys 5,744 Bitcoin For $679 Million To Expand Nakamoto Bitcoin Treasury

KindlyMD Buys 5,744 Bitcoin For $679 Million To Expand Nakamoto Bitcoin Treasury

The post KindlyMD Buys 5,744 Bitcoin For $679 Million To Expand Nakamoto Bitcoin Treasury appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KindlyMD has made its first significant Bitcoin acquisition since completing its merger with Nakamoto Holdings, purchasing 5,743.91 BTC for approximately $679 million as part of its ambitious plan to accumulate one million Bitcoin. The healthcare services provider, which recently transformed into an institutional-grade Bitcoin treasury vehicle, executed the purchase at a weighted average price of $118,204.88 per Bitcoin. The acquisition brings the company’s total holdings to 5,764.91 BTC, establishing KindlyMD as a significant player in the growing corporate Bitcoin treasury space. “This acquisition reinforces our conviction in Bitcoin as the ultimate reserve asset for corporations and institutions alike,” said David Bailey, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company. “Our long-term mission of accumulating one million Bitcoin reflects our belief that Bitcoin will anchor the next era of global finance, and we are committed to building the most trusted and transparent vehicle to achieve that future.” ‍ The purchase was funded using proceeds from a recently completed private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing, demonstrating the company’s commitment to executing a disciplined Bitcoin treasury strategy. The move follows KindlyMD’s successful completion of a $200 million convertible note offering on August 15, with proceeds specifically earmarked for additional Bitcoin purchases. The transaction marks a significant milestone in KindlyMD’s evolution following its August 2025 merger with Nakamoto Holdings, which created a unique entity combining healthcare expertise with Bitcoin treasury management. The merger positioned the company to pursue its ambitious Bitcoin acquisition strategy. The corporate Bitcoin treasury landscape has evolved rapidly in 2025, with several major companies establishing dedicated Bitcoin acquisition vehicles. This trend has accelerated as traditional financial institutions increasingly recognise Bitcoin as a legitimate treasury asset, leading to more sophisticated financial instruments and investment vehicles designed specifically for corporate Bitcoin exposure. Disclosure: Nakamoto is in partnership with Bitcoin Magazine’s parent company…

Will Ethereum (ETH) Rise Again? Analysis Firm Says “Yes”, Explains What’s Needed for a Stopping Decline and a Rise!

Will Ethereum (ETH) Rise Again? Analysis Firm Says “Yes”, Explains What’s Needed for a Stopping Decline and a Rise!

The post Will Ethereum (ETH) Rise Again? Analysis Firm Says “Yes”, Explains What’s Needed for a Stopping Decline and a Rise! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After Bitcoin surpassed $124,000 last week and reached a new ATH, expectations for a new ATH for Ethereum (ETH) have also increased. ETH, which came very close to breaking its previous ATH in 2021, experienced a sharp decline following macroeconomic data from the US. It is stated that there is a risk of continuing the decline for Ethereum, which fell from the levels of $ 4,700 to $ 4,200. At this point, analysis company Matrixport stated that the rise in Ethereum is due to treasury companies. Sharing its current analysis from the X account, Matrixport stated that Ethereum’s rise depends on the continuous demand from Treasury institutions and its ability to maintain the $4,180 support level. Matrixport also noted that while spot Etheruem ETF inflows were strong, network activity was still weak. At this point, the analyst firm also warned that failure to maintain the $4,180 level could lead to further declines. “Ethereum ETF inflows have been largely fueled by the launch and growth of Ethereum Treasury companies, and the continued momentum of these players is vital for further price appreciation. Ethereum must defend the $4,180 level, otherwise it risks further declines. *This is not investment advice.
