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.

EUR/GBP posts modest losses near 0.8650 ahead of German GDP release

EUR/GBP posts modest losses near 0.8650 ahead of German GDP release

The post EUR/GBP posts modest losses near 0.8650 ahead of German GDP release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/GBP weakens to around 0.8650 in Friday’s early European session. Hotter-than-expected UK July inflation data and upbeat UK PMI diminish odds of BoE rate reductions this year. Eurozone and German Composite PMI data came in stronger than expected in August.  The EUR/GBP cross trades with mild losses near 0.8650 during the early European session on Friday. The expectations that the Bank of England (BoE) might hesitate to cut interest rates in the remainder of the year support the Pound Sterling (GBP) against the Euro (EUR). The release of Germany’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter (Q2) will be published later on Friday. UK inflation rose again in July to a hotter-than-expected 3.8% amid higher food prices and travel costs, prompting the expectation that the Bank of England (BoE) will delay further interest rate cuts. Furthermore, the upbeat preliminary UK S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data for August contribute to the GBP’s upside. The report showed that the Composite PMI rose at a faster pace to 53.0 in August from the previous reading of 51.5, above the consensus of 51.6. The BoE cut the interest rates from 4.25% to 4.0% earlier this month as the UK central bank resumed what it describes as a “gradual and careful” approach to monetary easing. A quarter-point cut is not fully priced in until March 2026. On the Euro front, the HCOB PMI data from Germany and the Eurozone showed economic resilience in August, complicating the European Central Bank’s (ECB) plans for further rate cuts this year. Germany’s Composite PMI rose to 50.9 in August, driven by improvements in manufacturing output and new orders. This figure registered the highest level since March.  The Eurozone Composite PMI improved to 51.1 in August versus 50.9 prior. These reports may prompt the ECB to adopt a more cautious stance on…

Gold slides as Fed rate cut doubts lift USD ahead of Powell’s speech

Gold slides as Fed rate cut doubts lift USD ahead of Powell’s speech

The post Gold slides as Fed rate cut doubts lift USD ahead of Powell’s speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold drifts lower for the second straight day as reduced Fed rate cut bets underpin the USD. The cautious market mood does little to lend any support to the safe-haven precious metal. Traders keenly await Fed Chair Powell’s speech for rate-cut cues and a meaningful impetus. Gold (XAU/USD) extends the steady intraday descent through the early European session on Friday and retests the overnight swing low, around the $3,326-3,325 region in the last hour. The US Dollar (USD) prolongs its weekly uptrend and climbs to its highest level since August 5 amid diminishing odds for a more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, in turn, is seen as a key factor driving flows away from the non-yielding yellow metal. The USD bulls, however, opt to wait for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for more cues about the policy outlook and before placing fresh bets. This, however, does little to lend any support to the Gold price. Even the cautious market mood fails to revive demand for the safe-haven commodity. This, in turn, favors the XAU/USD bears, though a sustained break below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is needed before positioning for any further losses. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price bears retain control amid sustained USD buying ahead of Powell Traders pared their bets for a more aggressive policy easing by the US Federal Reserve following last week’s release of the hot US Producer Price Index (PPI), which pointed to signs of a gain of momentum in inflationary pressures. Moreover, Kansas City Fed president Jeffrey Schmid said on Thursday, described the central bank’s current monetary policy stance as “modestly restrictive” and sounded cautious about a September rate cut. Separately, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said that it is important to maintain a modestly restrictive policy to…

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

The post Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FanDuel just inked a deal with CME Group to enter the predictions market. Flutter Entertainment (NASDAQ:FLUT) stock was up about 2% in early trading after the company announced a new partnership for its FanDuel property that will launch it into the growing predictions market. FanDuel is the largest online sports betting site, with some 4.5 million active users. With this new deal with derivatives marketplace CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), FanDuel will develop new event-based contracts that allow users to predict the outcomes in financial markets. Customers will be able to make predictions on a wide range of market questions with simple “yes” or “no” answers for as little as $1 per chance. It is essentially akin to betting on the outcome, but FanDuel and CME call it trading event-based contracts. According to FanDuel, the prediction will focus on benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, prices of oil and gas, gold, cryptocurrencies, and key economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). An example of a question might be, Will the S&P 500 finish above X by X date? Or will the Fed lower interest rates at its next meeting? “Individual investors are increasingly sophisticated and continually pursuing new financial opportunities,” Terry Duffy, CME group chairman and CEO, said. “To meet this demand, we have created this innovative partnership, which will operate a non-clearing FCM. Together, our event-based products will appeal to the growing public interest in markets, and we will provide education to attract a new generation of potential traders not active in derivatives today.” Additional revenue stream for FanDuel and Flutter Through this new initiative, a first for the online sports betting space, CME and FanDuel will form a new joint venture. In this joint venture, they will operate a non-clearing futures…

Resumes upward journey above 100-day EMA near 95.50

Resumes upward journey above 100-day EMA near 95.50

The post Resumes upward journey above 100-day EMA near 95.50 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/JPY edges higher to around 95.45 in Friday’s early European session, adding 0.24% on the day.  Positive outlook of the cross prevails above the 100-day EMA, but further consolidation cannot be ruled out in the near term. The immediate resistance level is seen in the 96.00-96.10 zone; the initial support level is located at 95.10. The AUD/JPY cross attracts some buyers to around 95.45 during the early European session on Friday. The uncertainty over the likely timing of the next interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) continues to drag the Japanese Yen (JPY) lower and acts as a tailwind for the cross.  Technically, AUD/JPY resumes its upward bias as the price crosses above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily chart. However, further consolidation cannot be ruled out, with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering around the midline. This suggests neutral momentum in the near term.  The first upside target to watch for the cross is seen in the 96.00-96.10 region, the psychological level and the high of August 19. Extended gains could see a rally to 96.75, the high of August 13. Further north, the next hurdle is located at 97.10, the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band.  On the other hand, any follow-through selling below the 100-day EMA of 95.10 could see a drop to 94.40, the low of August 20. Sustained trading below the mentioned level could expose 93.97, the low of July 1. The additional downside filter to watch is 93.36, the low of June 16.  AUD/JPY Daily Chart Japanese Yen FAQs The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese…

USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech

USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech

The post USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD has reached its three-month high at 1.3915 on Friday. CME FedWatch Tool indicates that markets are pricing a 74% chance of a September rate cut, against 82% on Wednesday. Canada’s Industrial Product Price Index climbed 0.7% in July, exceeding expectations of a 0.3% rise, after a 0.5% gain prior. USD/CAD remains stronger for the fourth successive session, reaching a three-month high at 1.3915 during the Asian hours on Friday. The pair appreciates as the US Dollar (USD) gains ground amid easing odds of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September. Traders await the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming, which could offer fresh clues on the September policy outlook. According to the CME FedWatch tool, Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The rate cut likelihood reduced following the strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and rising Initial Jobless Claims data from the United States (US). The preliminary S&P Global US Composite PMI inched higher to 55.4 in August, from 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 from 49.8 prior, surpassing the market consensus of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 55.4 from 55.7 previous reading, but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Moreover, US Initial Jobless Claims rose to 235K for the previous week, an eight-week high and above the consensus estimate of 225K, suggesting some softening in labor market conditions. The upside of the USD/CAD pair could be restrained as the Canadian Dollar (CAD) may receive support amid a decrease in the scope for further Bank of Canada (BoC) rate cuts. Canada’s Industrial Product Price rose 0.7% month-over-month in July, following a 0.5% gain in June and surpassing market expectations of…

Euro weakens below 1.1600, all eyes on Jackson Hole Symposium

Euro weakens below 1.1600, all eyes on Jackson Hole Symposium

The post Euro weakens below 1.1600, all eyes on Jackson Hole Symposium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD softens to near 1.1595 in Friday’s Asian session, losing 0.10% on the day.  Fed’s Powell speech could offer some insight on the near-term path for interest rates. Eurozone business activity accelerated in August.  The EUR/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 1.1595 during the Asian trading hours on Friday, pressured by a rebound in the US Dollar (USD). The German Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter (Q2) is due later on Friday. The attention will shift to the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech, with traders paring back wagers on an imminent interest-rate cut. The soft US July jobs report and big downward revisions to hiring in May and June bolstered hopes of a rate reduction in the Fed September meeting. However, cautious comments from Fed officials and US economic data flashing inflationary risks have tempered those expectations and lifted the Greenback. Still, traders are now pricing in nearly a 75% odds of a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut next month, down from 92% a week earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole economic conference on Friday could offer some hints as to whether the US central bank will cut interest rates in September. Policymakers will get another month’s data on inflation and employment before deciding on interest rates, so Powell may state that he and his colleagues are leaving their options open. A dovish tilt could undermine the USD and create a tailwind for the EUR/USD pair in the near term. Across the pond, the flash HCOB PMI showed that business activity in August showed an improvement in Eurozone. The HCOB Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.5 in August from 49.8 in July. The figure came in better than the estimations of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 50.7 in…

Experienced Crypto Analyst Reveals Altcoin That Long-Term Whales Are Selling and Expecting a Correction

Experienced Crypto Analyst Reveals Altcoin That Long-Term Whales Are Selling and Expecting a Correction

The post Experienced Crypto Analyst Reveals Altcoin That Long-Term Whales Are Selling and Expecting a Correction appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency analyst Boris Vest has published a remarkable market analysis for Uniswap (UNI). According to Vest, UNI has been fluctuating within a wide price range for an extended period, exhibiting deep movements since its all-time high (ATH) in 2021. The current price is $10.24. According to the analysis, as long positions continue to accumulate, significant liquidation clusters have formed below the price. Vest’s critical levels are: $13.50 – Short liquidation zone $8.00 – Long liquidation zone Vest notes that buying pressure continues, but the price is struggling to move upward. He says this is due to large whales offloading positions with limit orders. According to the analyst: The active supply of long-term investors increased sharply along with the price increase. This indicates that long-term investors are selling heavily and the market has reached a saturation point. Meanwhile, short-term investors have re-entered the market at the local peak. According to Vest, the market is now undergoing a stress test for short-term investors, and a normal correction is expected. *This is not investment advice.

Judge Decides: Developers of This Altcoin Recover Millions of Dollars – Price Jumps

Judge Decides: Developers of This Altcoin Recover Millions of Dollars – Price Jumps

The post Judge Decides: Developers of This Altcoin Recover Millions of Dollars – Price Jumps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A US federal judge has lifted a freeze on assets linked to the controversial Libra token, which was launched in February and promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei. The decision stated that there was no risk of escape due to the defendants’ compliance with the court process. In June, as part of a lawsuit filed by plaintiffs seeking more than $100 million in damages, a total of $57.6 million in USDC was frozen in two wallets controlled by Hayden Davis, CEO of venture capital firm Kelsier Labs LLC, and Ben Chow, founder of decentralized exchange Meteora. U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon stated that the defendants had not exhibited “illegal behavior” and were complying with court process, stating: “It is clear that damages can be compensated by monetary compensation. The plaintiffs have not presented sufficient evidence to show irreparable harm.” Following the decision, the hold on $57.6 million worth of USDC was lifted. These assets remain in the two initially frozen wallets: one with a balance of $13.06 million and the other with a balance of $44.59 million. Following the decision, the price of LIBRA rose 73%. However, the token is still down 99.5% from its all-time high of $3.28 on February 15, 2025. *This is not investment advice.
