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.

China Eyes Stablecoins To Boost Yuan Abroad: Report

China Eyes Stablecoins To Boost Yuan Abroad: Report

The post China Eyes Stablecoins To Boost Yuan Abroad: Report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China, one of the most restrictive global jurisdictions for cryptocurrencies, is reportedly considering allowing Chinese yuan-backed stablecoins in what would be a major policy reversal. Chinese authorities may authorize yuan-backed stablecoins for the first time to promote global use of its currency, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. If approved, China’s plan for stablecoin use would mark a major shift in its approach to crypto after the country banned crypto trading and mining in September 2021. The news followed multiple reports suggesting that mainland China had been warming up to stablecoins amid a US stablecoin push in 2025. Cross-border implementation According to the sources, China’s State Council will review and potentially approve a roadmap later in August to expand global use of the yuan. The plan reportedly includes steps to counter US progress on stablecoins and guidelines for risk prevention. One use case for a potential yuan-backed stablecoin from mainland China would be the implementation of stablecoins for cross-border trade and payments with some countries. This issue is expected to be discussed at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit that will be held between Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 in Tianjin.

Yuan ranks sixth in global payments China’s potential entry into the stablecoin market would align with its ambitions to globalize the yuan and help it compete with key global reserve currencies such as the US dollar and the euro. As of June, China’s yuan was the sixth most active currency for global payments by value, with a share of around 2.9%, according to Swift’s RMB Tracker. Top 10 global payment currencies…

BREAKING: Chaos Ensues in Token Set to Be Completely Acquired by Another Altcoin – Now There’s a Higher Bidder

BREAKING: Chaos Ensues in Token Set to Be Completely Acquired by Another Altcoin – Now There’s a Higher Bidder

The post BREAKING: Chaos Ensues in Token Set to Be Completely Acquired by Another Altcoin – Now There’s a Higher Bidder appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Wormhole(W) Foundation plans to submit a “significantly higher bid” than LayerZero’s $110 million ZRO bid to acquire Stargate (STG), citing its low valuation. It is requesting that Snapshot be suspended for 5 days to finalize its bid for a more competitive process. LayerZero recently submitted a $110 million proposal to acquire the Stargate ecosystem and facilitate integration by merging the two protocols. Under the proposal, all tokens would be converted to ZRO, and Stargate, which has generated approximately $1 million in revenue in the last three months, would be used for LayerZero token buybacks. This move makes sense, as LayerZero and Stargate were developed by the same team and share common founders. Under the plan, all STG tokens in circulation (including staking and voting rights) will be exchanged at a rate of 1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO. This translates to $0.1675 for STG and $1.94 for ZRO. Furthermore, the Stargate DAO is expected to be dissolved. Wormhole submitted a competitive bid, stating that Stargate owners deserved a “more competitive process.” Wormhole requested that the community vote be halted while the seven-day period for voting was still running, prompting a reassessment of Stargate’s true value. *This is not investment advice.

Crypto Market Dips into Fear as Bitcoin (BTC) Hits Another Low: What’s Next?

Crypto Market Dips into Fear as Bitcoin (BTC) Hits Another Low: What’s Next?

The post Crypto Market Dips into Fear as Bitcoin (BTC) Hits Another Low: What’s Next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Positive sentiment that had been riding high as recently as last week has become fear as the Bitcoin price has fallen $11,500 in less than a week. A rebound has taken place on Wednesday morning, but will it be resilient, or will Bitcoin come crashing down out of its bull flag? Market sinks into fear Source: Alternative.me The market officially became fearful on Wednesday as the Fear and Greed Index crashed from a reading of 56 to 44 in only 24 hours. It must also be remembered that the Index was sailing high in the bright green at a reading of 73 just less than a week ago. Powell’s Jackson Hole speech will be key The same nervousness pervades in traditional markets as investors await Fed Chairman Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Summit on Friday. Powell has used this forum previously to ready the market for rate cuts, although with his ongoing spat with President Trump, things have become more complicated. A very bad data release on unemployment figures, plus extreme downward revisions of previous jobs reports may force Powell’s hand in favour of at least a 25 basis points cut in September. That said, the recent Producer Price Index (PPI) report came in hot, with much higher prices than were forecast, causing the Fedwatch CME rate cut expectation to fall to 85%, down from almost 100%. With all of this uncertainty persisting into the end of the week, Bitcoin might have a difficult time rallying strongly. However, if Powell does hint at a cut in September and possibly a further softening of interest rate policy into the end of the year, this could be enough to spark the next big surge for the king of the cryptocurrencies. $BTC bounces from bottom of bull flag Source: TradingView The 4-hour…

Analysis Company Warns: This Anticipated Economic Event in the US May Affect Altcoins

Analysis Company Warns: This Anticipated Economic Event in the US May Affect Altcoins

The post Analysis Company Warns: This Anticipated Economic Event in the US May Affect Altcoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Delphi Digital reported in its report that the US Treasury Department will begin refilling the General Account (TGA) in the coming weeks and in the process will withdraw $500-600 billion in cash from the market in about two months. The research firm explained that although this step may seem like a routine transaction for the market, it coincides with one of the most fragile liquidity environments of the last decade. It was noted that the $550 billion NPL rollover in 2023 was absorbed by the Fed’s over $2 trillion reverse repo facility, strong bank reserves, and high foreign demand for Treasury bonds. However, according to Delphi Digital, none of these buffers exist today. The Fed’s continued quantitative tightening (QT), the near-exhaustion of reverse repos, banks constrained by capital rules and losses, and the withdrawal of many foreign investors from China to Japan are all increasing market pressure. Therefore, every dollar the Treasury borrows this fall will be directly withdrawn from active market liquidity. The report also highlights risks for cryptocurrency markets. It notes that during periods of liquidity shortages, high-beta assets (e.g., ETH and similar altcoins) tend to experience sharper losses compared to BTC. It also notes that if the supply of stablecoins in particular shrinks, ETH and risky assets could be further pressured during the TGA rollover period. However, it also notes that structural inflows from ETFs or corporate treasuries could offset these risks. Delphi Digital argued that if the stablecoin supply expands, the NPL increase can be better absorbed compared to previous cycles, but if the supply contracts, the liquidity withdrawal will be reflected in the markets more quickly and strongly. *This is not investment advice.

Altcoin Season Set To Begin In Q4, Analyst Says As Index Forms Cup & Handle

Altcoin Season Set To Begin In Q4, Analyst Says As Index Forms Cup & Handle

The post Altcoin Season Set To Begin In Q4, Analyst Says As Index Forms Cup & Handle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Altcoin Index has been hovering around 53, fueling speculation that altcoin season may be near. An analyst on X, Max Crypto, recently forecast that the next cycle would start in Q4. He cited pro-crypto regulation and potential federal rate cuts as major drivers. However, his outlook contrasts with commentary posted by Pulsechaiin on X. As per the analysis, argued that altcoin season will only emerge once markets escape the prevailing macro bear trap. At the same time, technical signals are aligning. The Altcoin Index completed a cup-and-handle pattern, pointing to a potential move toward 100 from its current level of 53. Altcoin Season Will Start in Q4? Once the altcoin season starts in the fourth quarter of 2025, portfolios will hit all-time highs as various cryptocurrencies record 10x to 20x gains, said Max Crypto. Historically, crypto markets have followed a predictable bull cycle where Bitcoin rallies to a new all-time high, investors take profits and the liquidity flows to alternative cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. This period where the money moves from Bitcoin and rotates across altcoins is called the altcoin season. Since Q4 2024, the altcoin index chart has been pointing towards BTC dominance. As per a tweet by Pulsechaiin OG, the market entered into a consolidation period between March and July. That consolidation period launched the largest cryptocurrency to a new all-time high at $124,500. However, the failure to sustain a higher high both this month and in December 2025 when it reached $100,000 is what has delayed the altcoin season. A cup and handle pattern printed on the altcoin season index chart completed the handle last week. According to the analyst, the season is likely to kick off once Bitcoin breaks out of macro bear trap and prints a higher high. Source: X Is this Bull Market Cycle…

Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility

Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Terrill Dicki Aug 19, 2025 08:05 Bitcoin’s price surges to $121K amid improved on-chain activity and derivatives sentiment, but declining spot volumes and profitability raise caution. Explore key BTC market signals for insights. Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a significant rebound in the past week, climbing from a low of $114,000 to $121,000. This recovery was marked by improved on-chain activity and positive sentiment in the derivatives market, according to Glassnode’s latest analysis. Despite this upward momentum, declining spot volumes and high profitability levels suggest a need for caution among investors. Spot and Futures Market Dynamics The spot market observed Bitcoin’s price hitting an all-time high of over $123,000 before pulling back towards $114,000, creating a volatile “air gap.” While trading volumes initially recovered, they were dominated by sellers, signaling a cooling momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also softened, indicating potential market fatigue. In the futures market, open interest surpassed statistical norms, leading to a wave of deleveraging. Despite this, traders continue to pay premiums for long positions, although with diminished confidence. The perpetual contract cumulative volume delta (CVD) reflects this trend, with increased sell-side pressure hinting at elevated risk. Options and ETF Market Movements Options markets have seen a surge in activity, with open interest reaching new highs and volatility spreads widening, indicating increased hedging and speculative actions. The 25-delta skew remains positive, suggesting ongoing demand for downside protection. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have witnessed robust inflows, with more than $880 million entering the market weekly. This influx underscores resilient institutional interest, but the sustainability of these flows remains uncertain amid ongoing price fluctuations. On-Chain Indicators and Profitability While on-chain user activity and fee volumes have softened, the entity-adjusted transfer volume has spiked, pointing to significant capital movements likely driven by volatility.…

The post Crypto Funds Bleed With Nearly $1B Outflows in BTC and ETH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency investment products expanded their losses on Tuesday, with Bitcoin fund outflows surging more than 300% and Ether losses doubling, both ranking as the second-largest outflows this month. Spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw $523 million in outflows on Tuesday, rising more than fourfold from Monday, according to Farside Investors data. Ether (ETH) ETFs also recorded major losses, with outflows doubling from $200 million on Monday to $422 million. Bitcoin and Ether funds have posted three consecutive days of outflows totaling $1.3 billion, coinciding with sharp price corrections of 8.3% and 10.8%, respectively, since last Wednesday, according to CoinGecko. Fidelity leads outflows with over $400 million Fidelity Investments led yesterday’s losses with outflows of $247 million from its Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and $156 million from the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH), totaling $403 million in daily withdrawals. Grayscale Investments also had substantial withdrawals, with the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) reporting $116 million in outflows and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) shedding $122 million.

Source: Farside.co.uk In contrast, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) experienced no outflows, and the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) recorded only modest outflows of $6 million. Fear & Greed Index slips to “Fear” Although the three-day outflows pale in comparison to the record-breaking inflows for both Bitcoin and Ether funds in 2025, the losses signal a notable shift in investor sentiment amid declining prices. On Wednesday, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index — a tool tracking the overall sentiment of the crypto market — flipped to “Fear,” registering a score of 44. This change followed a prolonged period of optimism, indicating growing caution among investors.

China, the country with the world’s strictest cryptocurrency regulations, signals easing pressure! Here are the details

The post China, the country with the world’s strictest cryptocurrency regulations, signals easing pressure! Here are the details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China, one of the countries with the strictest cryptocurrency regulations in the world, is preparing for a surprising policy change. China’s Yuan-Backed Stablecoin Move: Policy Change Imminent According to a Reuters report citing sources familiar with the matter, the Chinese government is considering allowing yuan-backed stablecoins. China’s State Council will review a roadmap aimed at increasing global use of the yuan at the end of August, according to sources. This plan reportedly includes introducing yuan-backed stablecoins into international payment systems, in response to the US’s progress in the stablecoin space. If approved, this move would represent a fundamental shift in China’s long-held, hardline stance on cryptocurrencies. As is well known, China completely banned cryptocurrency trading and mining in September 2021. However, reports in recent months indicate that the Beijing government has adopted a more moderate approach, particularly towards stablecoins. In June, a senior official at the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) stated that stablecoins could play a transformative role in global payments systems. This statement fueled calls for their inclusion in regulatory frameworks. Experts emphasize that China’s move could accelerate the internationalization of the yuan and also impact balances in global financial markets. The stablecoin initiative, along with Beijing’s digital yuan project, could become central to its financial strategy. *This is not investment advice.

Palantir’s six-session slump erases $73 billion in value, as short sellers finally win

Palantir’s six-session slump erases $73 billion in value, as short sellers finally win

The post Palantir’s six-session slump erases $73 billion in value, as short sellers finally win appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Palantir just got dragged through six painful days on Wall Street, losing $73 billion in market value and giving short sellers a rare payday after months of losses. This losing streak, which started after the stock hit a record high on August 12, marks the company’s worst run since April 2024. Shares are now down over 17%, putting them on track for the ugliest week since the tariff-driven drop earlier this year. Despite being the biggest loser in the S&P 500 over the last six sessions, Palantir is still the top performer on the index in 2025, holding a 106% gain since the start of the year. That explosive rally led to a sky-high valuation, which most short sellers couldn’t handle. But this latest slide finally gave them room to breathe, and collect. Shorts pocket gains after long beating The decline handed $1.6 billion in profits to traders who bet against the Denver-based company, data from S3 Partners LLC showed. But those profits don’t undo the $4.5 billion in total losses short sellers have suffered this year betting against Palantir. The overall trend had been brutal for contrarians—until now. Matthew Unterman, managing director at S3, said short interest as a percentage of Palantir’s float dropped to 2.5%, down from nearly 5% a year ago. That means many traders had already exited their short positions as the stock kept rising. Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers LLC, said those traders either “wanted to avoid being run over by a monster momentum trade or were forced out after the freight train hit.” Vikram Rai, a portfolio manager and macro trader at Fny Capital Management LP, made it clear that the current drop wasn’t caused by bears taking control. “The selloff that we’re seeing in Palantir, it’s long overdue and it’s not…
