Is JPMorgan Diversified Return US Mid Cap Equity ETF (JPME) a strong ETF right now?

Is JPMorgan Diversified Return US Mid Cap Equity ETF (JPME) a strong ETF right now?

The post Is JPMorgan Diversified Return US Mid Cap Equity ETF (JPME) a strong ETF right now? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Making its debut on 05/11/2016, smart beta exchange traded fund JPMorgan Diversified Return U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF (JPME) provides investors broad exposure to the Style Box – Mid Cap Blend category of the market. What are smart beta ETFs? Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry. Market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, and are a good option for investors who believe in market efficiency. But, there are some investors who would rather invest in smart beta funds; these funds track non-cap weighted strategies, and are a strong option for those who prefer choosing great stocks in order to beat the market. Based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a combination of such, these indexes attempt to pick stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance. Methodologies like equal-weighting, one of the simplest options out there, fundamental weighting, and volatility/momentum based weighting are all choices offered to investors in this space, but not all of them can deliver superior returns. Fund sponsor and index The fund is managed by J.P. Morgan, and has been able to amass over $372.98 million, which makes it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box – Mid Cap Blend. JPME, before fees and expenses, seeks to match the performance of the Russell Midcap Diversified Factor Index. The JP Morgan Diversified Factor US Mid Cap Equity Index utilizes a rules-based approach that combines risk-based portfolio construction with multi-factor security selection, including value, quality and momentum factors. Cost and other expenses Investors should also pay attention to an ETF’s expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with…

Metaplanet Approve $884M to Expand Bitcoin Treasury

Metaplanet Approve $884M to Expand Bitcoin Treasury

The post Metaplanet Approve $884M to Expand Bitcoin Treasury appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet shareholders have approved a sweeping capital-raising plan that will allow the Japanese Bitcoin treasury company to sell up to 550 million new shares overseas. The offering, valued at about 130.3 billion yen ($884 million), is aimed at funding further Bitcoin purchases. Capital Plan Approval and Governance Resolutions Strengthen Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Strategy The extraordinary general meeting (EGM), held in Tokyo’s Shibuya district, confirmed the plan. However, the company’s CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed that the vote passed. The company intends to allocate the bulk of proceeds to expanding its Bitcoin holdings, which already stand at more than 20,000 BTC, worth over $2 billion. The approved capital plan underscores Metaplanet’s strategy of following a treasury model inspired by Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy. The firm has already transformed from a struggling hotel operator into one of the largest public corporate holders of Bitcoin. Metaplanet shareholders have approved all 3 resolutions at today’s EGM:✅ Increase in Total Number of Authorized Shares✅ Virtual Shareholder Meetings✅ New Provisions for Perpetual Preferred Shares pic.twitter.com/O7UY2lW5P0 — Simon Gerovich (@gerovich) September 1, 2025 The raise of close to $900 million puts the company in a position to accelerate its BTC accumulation. This supports a previous $881 million stock issuance plan by Metaplanet for the same purpose. That move shows both shareholder support and management intent on making Bitcoin the company’s primary asset. Even with the stock price slipping more than half from its June peak, the approval signals long-term faith in the firm’s digital asset strategy. Besides the capital plan, shareholders approved three governance and financing resolutions. The first was an increase in authorized shares. Stocks that the company could issue for future fundraising or acquisitions. The second resolution approved virtual shareholder meetings for greater participation. The third resolution created perpetual preferred shares with no maturity date. This gives shareholders…

UAE’s G42 seeks to diversify chip suppliers beyond Nvidia for AI campus

UAE’s G42 seeks to diversify chip suppliers beyond Nvidia for AI campus

The post UAE’s G42 seeks to diversify chip suppliers beyond Nvidia for AI campus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. UAE-backed technology firm G42 is exploring other AI chip suppliers beyond Nvidia to expand its semiconductor supply options. The company already initiated negotiations with AMD, Cerebras Systems, and Qualcomm to provide the AI chips that will power its AI campus.  G42 announced plans to build an AI data center campus with a 5 gigawatt capacity in a collaboration between the UAE and the U.S. The announcement came during President Donald Trump’s visit to the country, which attracted more than $200 billion in signed deals. Trump’s visit secured multiple chip export deals with the UAE, which sparked concerns among senior U.S. officials. They cited national security reasons and economic control surrounding the deals.  UAE pushes a ‘digital embassy’ model for governments According to a recent Cryptopolitan report, in July, Huawei was pushing to sell its Ascend 910B AI chips and CloudMatrix 384 systems to G42. However, the discussions remain in the early stages, with no binding agreements formed. The report revealed that Huawei’s chip supply capacity remains limited compared to Nvidia, which already has substantial supply deals in the region.  In an exclusive report by Semafor, AWS, Microsoft, Meta, and xAI are among the companies involved in talks with G42 to secure the projected 5 gigawatt data center capacity in the UAE. The UAE has boasted the project as the most significant AI infrastructure outside of the U.S. One gigawatt of the project has already been committed to Trump’s Stargate AI initiative.   The Stargate AI initiative aims to advance AI infrastructure worldwide with partners including SoftBank, Oracle, OpenAI, and MGX. President Trump announced early this year that the plan for private sector investment is valued at an estimated $500 billion.  G42’s data center campus will utilize Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell GB300 systems, representing about 20% of the campus’s total scope. The facility…

Are the courts thwarting Trump’s plans? – Commerzbank

Are the courts thwarting Trump’s plans? – Commerzbank

The post Are the courts thwarting Trump’s plans? – Commerzbank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. When I read the news about the dismissal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook on a newsflash during my vacation, I was certain the markets would go crazy. To my surprise, however, I now have to acknowledge that EUR/USD is trading nearly unchanged compared to levels from three weeks ago. Even in the options market, I can’t detect any heightened nervousness. Hedging against a USD crash relative to the euro has even become cheaper! And after reading some market commentaries, I can see I’m not the only one surprised by this level of calm, Commerzbank’s Head of FX and Commodity Research Thu Lan Nguyen notes. USD investors can indeed breathe a sigh of relief “It should be indisputable what a catastrophic signal this unprecedented attack by a U.S. president on the independence of the Federal Reserve sends to USD exchange rates. Absolutely everyone must understand that the accusations against Cook are a clear warning signal to the other FOMC members to bow to government pressure. Some argue that Cook’s dismissal does not change the short-term U.S. interest rate outlook. But that’s not what’s relevant for the dollar. What is decisive is the assumption that the Fed’s reaction function will be significantly more dovish in the long term. In other words, the central bank is likely to respond less actively to inflation risks in the future than it has done so far. For those already uncomfortable with the attacks and outbursts against the Fed Chair and his colleagues now, just imagine what the situation would look like if inflation rises and the central bank signals the need for rate hikes.” “So why isn’t the dollar trading significantly weaker? I strongly suspect the explanation lies in the unshakable belief in the “checks and balances” of U.S. democracy. The power of the state does…

The post Metaplanet Tops 20,000 BTC, Joins Global Top 6 Treasuries appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japanese listed firm Metaplanet boosts its Bitcoin reserves beyond 20,000 BTC, overtaking US miner Riot Platforms and becoming the first non-US company to enter the global top six corporate holders. Metaplanet announced Monday that it had purchased an additional 1,009 BTC for approximately $112 million, at an average price of $111,000 per Bitcoin.

Just a week earlier, on August 25, the company had added 103 BTC, highlighting its accelerated accumulation strategy. Data from BitcoinTreasuries.net show that Metaplanet now holds more Bitcoin than Riot Platforms, a US-based mining company. For the third quarter of 2025, Metaplanet posted a BTC Yield of 30.7%, reflecting the growth of Bitcoin reserves compared with its fully diluted share count. The surge highlights how Metaplanet ties shareholder value directly to Bitcoin accumulation. Bitcoin treasury company Top 10 Source: Bitcointresuaries.net Metaplanet combines capital market activity with its Bitcoin strategy.
