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.

US Dollar Index holds steady above 98.50, Jackson Hole Symposium in focus

The post US Dollar Index holds steady above 98.50, Jackson Hole Symposium in focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Dollar Index trades flat near 98.65 in Friday’s Asian session. US Composite PMI improved in August, led by a resurgent manufacturing sector.  Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech will be the highlight later on Friday.  The US Dollar Index (DXY), an index of the value of the US Dollar (USD) measured against a basket of six world currencies, trades on a flat note around 98.65 during the early Asian trading hours on Friday. Traders await the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech later on Friday, with traders paring back wagers on an imminent interest-rate cut. Data released by S&P Global on Thursday showed that the US Composite PMI climbed to 55.4 in August, versus 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 in August from 49.8 in July. This figure came in stronger than the expectation of 49.5. Finally, the Services PMI declined to 55.4 in August from 55.7 in the previous reading but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said late Thursday that September’s Fed meeting remains open for action. Goolsbee added that the US central bank has been getting mixed messages on the economy, and the Fed still has time to take more data. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack noted that it’s important to maintain a modestly restrictive policy to lower inflation, adding that he does not see an imminent case for cutting rates based on current data. Stronger US economic data and a more hawkish tone from Fed officials could provide some support to the DXY. Markets are now pricing in nearly a 70% chance of a September rate cut, down from 90% a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.  The attention will shift to the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium later on Friday for clues on the policy outlook.

Unveiling The Crucial Shift To Bitcoin Season

Unveiling The Crucial Shift To Bitcoin Season

The post Unveiling The Crucial Shift To Bitcoin Season appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency market is a dynamic landscape, constantly shifting between periods where Bitcoin leads the charge and times when altcoins shine. Understanding these cycles is crucial for any investor. Currently, the Altcoin Season Index, a key metric tracked by CoinMarketCap (CMC), indicates a clear shift, pointing towards what many call ‘Bitcoin Season’. What Does the Altcoin Season Index Tell Us? On August 22, at 00:30 UTC, the Altcoin Season Index registered a value of 42. This figure, reported by CoinMarketCap and previously noted by Bitcoin World, represents a slight dip from the previous day, signaling a strengthening Bitcoin dominance in the market. This index is a vital tool for understanding the broader market sentiment and asset performance. The Index’s Core Function: It assesses the performance of the top 100 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap. Crucially, it excludes stablecoins and wrapped tokens to provide a clearer picture of market dynamics. Defining Seasons: The index determines whether the market is in ‘Altcoin Season’ or ‘Bitcoin Season’ by comparing how these top coins have performed relative to Bitcoin over the past 90 days. How is Bitcoin Season Determined by the Altcoin Season Index? The methodology behind the Altcoin Season Index is straightforward yet powerful. It sets clear thresholds to define the prevailing market condition: Altcoin Season: This period is declared when at least 75% of the top 100 altcoins (excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens) have outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. Think of it as a time when a wide array of alternative cryptocurrencies are seeing significant gains. Bitcoin Season: Conversely, we enter Bitcoin Season when 25% or fewer of these altcoins manage to outperform Bitcoin over the same 90-day period. The current index reading of 42 falls squarely into this category, confirming that Bitcoin is currently the dominant force. The index itself ranges…
