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.

Eric Trump: “Bitcoin Reaching $1 Million Is Inevitable” Trump, who painted an optimistic picture of the cryptocurrency market’s future, particularly highlighted the growing interest from institutional investors.

EUR/USD steady despite strong US GDP as Greenback stays under pressure

EUR/USD steady despite strong US GDP as Greenback stays under pressure

The post EUR/USD steady despite strong US GDP as Greenback stays under pressure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The EUR/USD holds firm on Thursday, extending gains for a third straight day. The US GDP second estimate showed 3.3% annualized growth in Q2, above the 3.1% forecast. Traders await Friday’s July PCE inflation data, which may shape the Fed’s monetary policy path. The Euro (EUR) holds firm against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday,as the latest batch of US economic data failed to shift the broader bearish tone surrounding the Greenback. The pair briefly climbed to an intraday high of 1.1687 before easing to trade near 1.1666 at the time of writing. Despite the pullback, EUR/USD remains higher on the day, extending its advance for a third straight day while staying within the range that has contained price action since early August. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the second estimate of US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) confirmed a 3.3% annualized expansion in Q2, slightly above the 3.1% consensus and stronger than the 3.0% pace seen previously. The resilience in activity was accompanied by still-solid labor market data, with Initial Jobless Claims falling to 229,000, marginally below expectations of 230,000 and down from a revised 234,000. Inflation, however, eased according to preliminary quarterly readings. The Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rose 2.5% QoQ, undershooting the 2.6% forecast and matching the prior 2.5%. The GDP Price Index and headline PCE Prices both printed at 2.0%, slipping from 2.1% previously, signaling disinflationary progress. The data, however, failed to provide impetus to the US Dollar, which remains under broad pressure amid concerns over Fed independence and a dovish monetary policy outlook. At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is trading around 98.00, down 0.20% on the day. Market attention now turns to Friday’s release of the July monthly PCE inflation report, which will carry greater weight…

Prices Rose As Expected In July—Here’s What To Know

Prices Rose As Expected In July—Here’s What To Know

The post Prices Rose As Expected In July—Here’s What To Know appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline An inflation measurement favored by the Federal Reserve matched Wall Street’s expectations according to federal data released Friday, complicating hopes for the central bank to lower interest rates next month. The inflation report is the last before the Fed considers interest rate cuts. Xinhua News Agency via Getty Images Key Facts Annual inflation was 2.9% in July and a 0.1% uptick from June, according to core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index data released Friday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, matching consensus analyst forecasts of 2.9%, according to FactSet. The reading remained above the Fed’s 2% target for core PCE inflation, the central bank’s preferred gauge of price changes that excludes food and energy markets, for the 53rd consecutive month. Headline PCE inflation was 2.6%, matching June’s price increases and matching projections. What To Watch For Friday’s PCE report is the last before the Fed’s policy committee meeting in September. Investors are anticipating interest rates, which have been held between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to be lowered during the September session after Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled the agency would likely ease its monetary policy earlier this month. The Fed operates on a policy of setting rates to keep inflation and unemployment low, yet Powell warned earlier this year the impact of tariffs on the economy has yet to be seen and could raise prices. Powell noted the “balance of risks [appears] to be shifting” between unemployment and inflation, citing “sweeping changes” in trade, immigration and tax policy under the Trump administration. Big Number 85.3%. Those are the odds the Fed eases interest rates by at least a quarter-point in September, according to CME’s FedWatch. Investors traded at odds as high as 99.9% earlier this month after earlier inflation data indicated prices increased more slowly than expected.…

US Dollar stabilizes ahead of key PCE inflation data

US Dollar stabilizes ahead of key PCE inflation data

The post US Dollar stabilizes ahead of key PCE inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Here is what you need to know on Friday, August 29: The US Dollar (USD) finds a foothold early Friday after posting losses for three consecutive days. In the second half of the day, Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from Germany and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) preferred gauge of inflation, from the US will be watched closely by market participants. US Dollar Price This week The table below shows the percentage change of US Dollar (USD) against listed major currencies this week. US Dollar was the weakest against the Australian Dollar. USD EUR GBP JPY CAD AUD NZD CHF USD 0.52% 0.20% 0.21% -0.49% -0.61% -0.33% 0.08% EUR -0.52% -0.32% -0.38% -1.00% -1.05% -0.85% -0.43% GBP -0.20% 0.32% -0.20% -0.68% -0.79% -0.53% -0.11% JPY -0.21% 0.38% 0.20% -0.63% -0.77% -0.46% 0.00% CAD 0.49% 1.00% 0.68% 0.63% -0.10% 0.19% 0.57% AUD 0.61% 1.05% 0.79% 0.77% 0.10% 0.26% 0.68% NZD 0.33% 0.85% 0.53% 0.46% -0.19% -0.26% 0.42% CHF -0.08% 0.43% 0.11% -0.01% -0.57% -0.68% -0.42% 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 USD Index continued to edge lower on Thursday as markets remained risk-positive. Upbeat macroeconomic data releases from the US, however, helped the USD limit its losses. The US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) revised the annualized Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for the second quarter to 3.3% from 3.1% in its initial estimate. Additionally, weekly Initial Jobless Claims declined to 229,000 from 234,000 in…

Unveiling The Steady Rise In U.S. Inflation

Unveiling The Steady Rise In U.S. Inflation

The post Unveiling The Steady Rise In U.S. Inflation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The latest economic figures are in, and they offer a crucial glimpse into the U.S. inflation landscape. For anyone tracking financial markets, especially cryptocurrencies, understanding these reports is essential. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) recently announced that the core PCE Price Index rose 0.3% in July from the previous month, precisely matching economists’ expectations. This data point is a significant barometer for the Federal Reserve and can subtly influence investor sentiment across all asset classes, including digital currencies. What is the Core PCE, and Why Does it Matter? You might hear a lot about different inflation measures, but the core PCE Price Index holds a special place, particularly for the Federal Reserve. It stands for Personal Consumption Expenditures, and the ‘core’ part means it excludes volatile food and energy prices. Why is this exclusion important? Because food and energy costs can fluctuate wildly due to short-term supply shocks or geopolitical events, making them less reliable indicators of underlying, persistent inflation trends. The Fed prefers the core PCE as its primary gauge because it offers a clearer, more stable picture of consumer spending patterns and price changes. When the Fed makes decisions about interest rates, they are largely guided by this index. A steady rise in core PCE can signal the need for tighter monetary policy, while a slowdown might suggest the opposite. These policy shifts can have ripple effects, influencing everything from bond yields to the appetite for riskier assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Unpacking the July Core PCE Data: Meeting Expectations The July report revealed a month-over-month increase of 0.3% in the core PCE, which was exactly what market analysts had anticipated. This ‘in line with expectations’ outcome often brings a sense of stability to markets, as it avoids unexpected shocks that could trigger…

New Report Reveals States With Heaviest Occupational Licensing Burdens

New Report Reveals States With Heaviest Occupational Licensing Burdens

The post New Report Reveals States With Heaviest Occupational Licensing Burdens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Teacher Helping Students Training To Become Beauticians Painting Nails getty More than 20% of America’s workers need permission from the government in the form of an occupational license before they can practice their profession. The occupational licensing burden placed on Americans varies from state to state, and a new report from the Archbridge Institute reveals the states that impose the heaviest burdens. Occupational licenses are permits issued by governments that are legally required before someone can work in certain occupations. State policymakers largely decide which occupations require a license and the process for obtaining a particular license, though there are some professions, such as pilot, that require a federal license. States can also impose barriers on professions that are not job-specific licenses. For example, Alabama does not have an acupuncturist license, but it does require all acupuncturists to be licensed physicians. Archbridge’s report, co-authored by economists Edward Timmons, Noah Trudeau, and Benjamin Seevers, uses data on specific licenses and these other barriers to rank the states. The five states with the most occupational licensing and related barriers are Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Kentucky, and Florida. The five states with the fewest licensing and related barriers are Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Indiana, and New York. The map below shows each state’s ranking by quintile: Red states have the most licensing barriers and purple states have the fewest licensing barriers. Some of the occupations included in the ranking are barbers, cosmetologists, funeral directors, piping contractors, and real estate appraisers. State licensing burdens Archbridge Institute https://www.archbridgeinstitute.org/state-occupational-licensing-index/ As shown in the map, many of the most heavily licensed states are in the Southeast. In addition to Florida and Tennessee, Arkansas, South Carolina, Alabama, and Kentucky have large licensing burdens. Many of the states with the smallest licensing burdens are in the middle of the country, including…

Setback amid tariff uncertainty – Standard Chartered

Setback amid tariff uncertainty – Standard Chartered

The post Setback amid tariff uncertainty – Standard Chartered appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Our Renminbi internationalisation tracker fell in May-July, with most components edging down. Lingering uncertainty on US-China tariffs may have weighed on global Renminbi usage. Cross-border payments to receive policy support; further outbound relaxation to lift CNH bond demand, Standard Chartered’s economists report. The worst may have passed “The Standard Chartered Renminbi Globalisation Index (RGI), our proprietary measure of international Renminbi usage, fell for a third straight month to 4,666 in July from the recent peak of 5,169 in April. This takes YTD performance to -2.1%, likely reflecting the impact of US-China tariff uncertainty on market sentiment. Four out of five RGI components – ‘CNH FX turnover’, ‘CNH deposits’, ‘cross-border payments’ and ‘Dim Sum bonds’ – fell in May-July; only ‘foreign holdings of onshore RMB assets’ rose. That said, the decline moderated in July versus June as a US-China trade truce was reached and trade talks continued.” “Supply-demand dynamics for the CNH bond market have remained favourable since our May update, though net issuance of CNH bonds and certificates of deposit (CDs) combined was negative during the May-July. The decline in CNH deposits may have been driven by issuance of Renminbi-denominated Hong Kong green bonds and infrastructure bonds, CNH China Government Bonds (CGBs), and PBoC offshore bills, as well as the upbeat performance of the mainland equity market.”   “On the positive side, the worst of the US-China trade war is likely behind us, although we see twists and turns ahead. While the Renminbi’s share of global cross-border payments through SWIFT fell to two-year lows in June and July, average daily transactions via the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) reached a new high in Q2. In addition, China’s authorities have signalled that they will promote global usage of Renminbi. Further relaxation of outbound investment and payments since June should boost mainland demand for CNH bonds for the rest of 2025.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/offshore-renminbi-setback-amid-tariff-uncertainty-standard-chartered-202508290918
