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.

Next week's macroeconomic outlook: Don't be too crazy about rate cuts, don't be too panic about PCE

Next week's macroeconomic outlook: Don't be too crazy about rate cuts, don't be too panic about PCE

PANews reported on August 23rd that for most of this month, Wall Street traders flocked to the stock and bond markets, betting that the Federal Reserve was finally ready to start cutting interest rates again. The only thing they were waiting for was the green light from Fed Chairman Powell to maintain this round of gains. They got their wish on Friday, when Powell took a dovish stance in a highly anticipated speech, triggering the largest cross-market rally since April. The cryptocurrency market was boiling, and the price of Ethereum hit a nearly four-year high. Gold rose 1%. Here are the key points that the market will focus on in the new week: At 03:15 on Tuesday, Logan, the 2026 FOMC voting member and President of the Dallas Fed, delivered a speech and participated in a panel discussion at the 100th anniversary conference of the Banco de Mexico. At 7:15 a.m. on Tuesday, FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President John Williams delivered a keynote speech at the Banco de Mexico 100th Anniversary Conference. Tuesday at 22:00, the U.S. Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index for August and the U.S. Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index for August; At 00:45 on Thursday, Barkin, a 2027 FOMC voting member and president of the Richmond Fed, delivered a speech; At 20:30 on Thursday, the revised annualized quarterly rate of real GDP in the second quarter of the United States will be released; At 06:00 on Friday, Federal Reserve Board Governor Waller will deliver a speech on monetary policy; At 20:30 on Friday, the annual rate of the U.S. core PCE price index in July, the monthly rate of personal spending in July, and the monthly rate of the U.S. core PCE price index in July will be released. Looking ahead to the US dollar index, downward pressure on the greenback is expected to persist as labor market data becomes a primary focus for the Federal Reserve and market participants almost fully anticipate a rate cut next month. Unless future employment reports significantly alter the outlook, the US dollar index is expected to remain under pressure, particularly against currencies supported by more hawkish central banks. While a rate cut may be imminent for investors, the path forward for subsequent easing is far from straightforward, and uncertainty surrounding the policy outlook is becoming a new focal point.

XRP ETF News: XRP Traders Eye SEC Decision as Grayscale, Bitwise, and Canary Capital Amend Spot ETF Filings

XRP ETF News: XRP Traders Eye SEC Decision as Grayscale, Bitwise, and Canary Capital Amend Spot ETF Filings

The post XRP ETF News: XRP Traders Eye SEC Decision as Grayscale, Bitwise, and Canary Capital Amend Spot ETF Filings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP ETF News: XRP Traders Eye SEC Decision as Grayscale, Bitwise, and Canary Capital Amend Spot ETF Filings XRP investors are closely watching Washington as multiple asset managers, including Grayscale, Bitwise, and Canary Capital, have filed amendments to their spot XRP ETF applications. The updated submissions come amid growing optimism that U.S. regulators may finally be preparing to open the door for an exchange-traded fund tied directly to Ripple’s native token. The filings arrive during a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency sector, with the SEC’s delay of XRP ETF rulings raising both questions and hope about the regulatory timeline. Market participants now see the coming months as a potential turning point for XRP adoption in traditional finance. Asset Managers Revise Proposals in Push for SEC Approval On Friday, Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary Capital, CoinShares, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and 21Shares each submitted amended S-1 registration statements for their proposed spot XRP ETFs. Analysts believe the wave of filings reflects direct feedback from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Grayscale has submitted an S-1 filing for a spot XRP ETF, signaling its intent to launch a regulated investment product. Source: @AbsGMCrypto via X Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted on X that the updates were “almost certainly due to feedback from SEC,” calling it a positive but expected step. Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, echoed this view, describing the cluster of filings as a “very good sign” for the approval process. Multiple issuers updated their XRP ETF filings today, likely in response to SEC feedback—an encouraging yet largely anticipated development. Source: James Seyffart via X The amendments included adjustments to fund structures, such as allowing both cash and in-kind creations and redemptions. This flexibility brings the filings more in line with frameworks already used for existing Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Canary Capital…

Recession specials could be the latest sign of deteriorating consumer sentiment

Recession specials could be the latest sign of deteriorating consumer sentiment

The post Recession specials could be the latest sign of deteriorating consumer sentiment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A sign outside Brooklyn coffee shop Clever Blend offers a $6 gelato and espresso “recession special.” Lisa Kailai Han | CNBC As fears of a slowing economy lurk in the background, some businesses are taking notice and bringing back so-called recession specials. Look up the term “recession specials” through Google’s search engine, and the list of results will include entries from the Great Recession nearly 20 years ago. Consider this Grub Street article from 2008 slugged “Recession Specials: Your Definitive Guide.” Or this 2009 story from The New York Times, which details the mealtime recession specials restaurants across New York offered as an act of survival. Fast-forward to 2025 and a crop of establishments are once more hinting at a looming economic downturn. When ‘recession’ returns as a selling point Recession fears were heating up this spring as President Donald Trump rolled out a slate of tariffs in early April. The term “recession indicator” entered the vernacular of social media users as a tongue-in-cheek way of gauging a potential economic slowdown. Businesses are now getting in on the joke as well. For instance, Brooklyn, New York coffee shop Clever Blend advertises a $6 gelato and espresso “recession special.” Wicked Willy’s, a bar in Manhattan, got on board by offering a “Recession Pop Party” earlier this month, with one caption on an Instagram post declaring: “The recession is BACK! Get ready to dance and party all night long!” Market Hotel, a Brooklyn concert venue, advertised a similar event. “From The Fame to Animal, Circus to Rated R, we’re serving economic anxiety with a side of electro-pop, bloghaus, and auto-tuned glam,” an Instagram caption for the event read. “Dress like rent’s due and you’re dancing through it.” But the trend doesn’t just stop in New York. Super Duper, a burger chain with…

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction for August 24, 2025: Will BTC Break $116,200 Resistance Or Slide Back Toward $113,000?

The price of Bitcoin is around $115,100 today, having bounced back a little after falling toward the $112,000 support zone earlier this week. The bounce came as BTC broke out of a descending channel on the 4-hour chart, but upside remains capped by resistance around $116,000.  Traders are trying to figure out if this bounce is the start of a bigger reversal or just a short-term rally. What’s Happening With Bitcoin’s Price? BTC price dynamics (Source: TradingView) Bitcoin moved down from $123,700 to $111,700 on the 4-hour chart, then broke out upward. The price action shows that the resistance at $116,200 is being tested again, which is the same level as the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $116,289. After that, there was a rejection, and BTC stayed just above the $114,500–$115,000 range. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is close to 57, which means that liquidity is balanced. The RSI on shorter timeframes is between 42 and 45, which means that the market is neutral to slightly bearish. This means that momentum is starting to stabilize after last week’s drop. BTC price dynamics (Source: TradingView) On the daily timeframe, Smart Money Concepts highlight a break…The post Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction for August 24, 2025: Will BTC Break $116,200 Resistance Or Slide Back Toward $113,000? appeared first on Coin Edition.

between hype, bubble risks, and real opportunities

between hype, bubble risks, and real opportunities

The post between hype, bubble risks, and real opportunities appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly the undisputed protagonist of the financial and technological markets in recent years. However, while enthusiasm around its potential grows, signals also emerge that call for caution. The comparison with the dot-com bubble of the early millennium is increasingly frequent among analysts and investors, who watch with concern the concentration of value in the so-called Magnificent Seven: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla. These giants today represent over a third of the S&P 500 index, a share much higher than the 15% held by the main technology stocks during the peak of the internet bubble in 2000. Such a concentration inevitably increases systemic risk. It is not just a matter of capitalization. During the dot-com bubble era, the rush to invest in telecommunications infrastructure led to an excessive expansion of fiber optic networks, culminating in catastrophic failures when the promised demand did not materialize in the short term.  Today, history seems to repeat itself: the major AI companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in building new data centers, with an overall expenditure approaching trillions of dollars, figures once associated only with the GDP of large nations. The question everyone is asking is whether this investment rush is justified or if we are on the brink of a new crisis. The demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI): beyond the consumer boom The media attention is often focused on the mass adoption of tools like ChatGPT, which in the month of July alone exceeded five billion visits. However, the true economic impact of AI will be measured based on adoption by both consumers and businesses. According to the published data by the National Bureau of Economic Research, about 40% of the U.S. population has used generative AI systems by the end of 2024, and 23% have…

Ethereum (ETH) Surges to New All-Time High Amid Likely September Rate Cut

Ethereum (ETH) Surges to New All-Time High Amid Likely September Rate Cut

The post Ethereum (ETH) Surges to New All-Time High Amid Likely September Rate Cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum ETH$4,705.67 hit a record price of $4,885 on Coinbase on Friday after a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggesting interest rate cuts left traders relieved going into the weekend. The token rose nearly 15% over the past 24 hours as part of a broader rally in financial markets. Nevertheless, ether’s rally stood out among other tokens. Bitcoin was also up, but only by about 4%. The CoinDesk 20 Index, which tracks the broader crypto market, rose 9% over the same period. Powell on Friday gave hints that the Fed will indeed cut interest rates in September, as initially anticipated by traders. Hope, however, faded over the last few days, causing a significant reaction in global markets during Friday trading hours. Ether has not only profited from macroeconomic circumstances this year, but even more so from renewed institutional interest in the network behind the token. Several companies have started accumulating ether as part of their treasury strategy, including ETHZilla that is backed by billionaire investor Peter Thiel. Some believe that Ethereum will eventually be Wall Street’s favorite blockchain to build on, fueling demand for its native token. As a result, ether has outperformed bitcoin this year, up about 45% since the start of 2025 while the largest cryptocurrency is up 25%. Some other ether-related tokens, such as Lido (LDO) and Ethena ENA$0.7321, also benefited from ETH’s swift rally.

Gold above $3,370 as Powell turns dovish, labor risks rise

Gold above $3,370 as Powell turns dovish, labor risks rise

The post Gold above $3,370 as Powell turns dovish, labor risks rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold prices rallied sharply after Powell’s dovish tone highlighted employment risks despite persistent upside risks to inflation. Traders priced in a 90% probability of a 25 basis-point Fed cut, with key data still ahead before September. Next week’s US docket includes Durable Goods, GDP, and the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Core PCE Price Index. Gold prices continue to trend higher on Friday after the Federal Reserve (Fed) leaned dovish, as commented by the Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who said that “downside risks to the labor market are rising.” XAU/USD trades at $3,371 after hitting a daily low of $3,321. The day arrived and Powell hinted that there’s a “reasonable base case” to think that tariffs would create a “one-time” increase in prices. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside, a “challenging situation.” After his remarks, Bullion prices initially soared towards the $3,350 area before resuming to the upside, heading to a daily high of $3,378 before retreating somewhat to current price levels. Market participants had priced in a 90% chance that the Federal Reserve will cut 25 basis points (bps) from its main reference rate, according to Prime Market Terminal. However, there are two inflation prints left and the following Nonfarm Payrolls report on September 5. Source: Prime Market Terminal After Powell’s speech, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said that she heard that Powell is open-minded about the policy outlook, and she reiterated her stance to get inflation back to target. Next week, the US economic docket will feature Fed speeches, Durable Goods Orders, CB Consumer Confidence, GDP figures, Initial Jobless Claims, and the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge measure, the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index.
