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.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Buys $217M Bitcoin As Price Holds Firm

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Buys $217M Bitcoin As Price Holds Firm

The post Michael Saylor’s Strategy Buys $217M Bitcoin As Price Holds Firm appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest holder of Bitcoin, continued stacking the cryptocurrency as the BTC price edged up slightly last week.  Strategy acquired 1,955 Bitcoin (BTC) for $217.4 million between Sept. 2 and 7, according to a Tuesday US Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The purchase was made at an average price of $111,196 per coin as the cryptocurrency briefly surged above $113,000 last Friday before slipping to around $110,000, according to CoinGecko. With the new acquisition, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings totaled 638,460 BTC as of Sunday, purchased for approximately $47.2 billion and at an average price of $73,880 per BTC. Ongoing buying slowdown Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase follows a series of buys in August, totaling approximately 7,714 BTC for the month. The company’s BTC buying last month was significantly smaller than previous purchases, including a massive 31,466 BTC acquisition in July and a 17,075 BTC acquisition in June. An excerpt from Strategy’s Form 8-K. Source: SEC The latest purchase was made using proceeds from three of Strategy’s at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings, including the Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock (STRF), the Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock (STRK) and its own Common A stock MSTR. Strategy left off the S&P 500 Strategy’s new Bitcoin buy came after the company was excluded from the addition to the S&P 500 index last Friday, contrary to the expectations of many. Instead, S&P 500 added a few new stocks, including the crypto-friendly stock trading app Robinhood, the mobile technology company AppLovin and Emcor Group, which specializes in mechanical and electrical construction services. The new stocks are set to join the index before market open on Sept. 22.

Mercedes and BMW bring top European sellers into EV era to crush Tesla and BYD

Mercedes and BMW bring top European sellers into EV era to crush Tesla and BYD

The post Mercedes and BMW bring top European sellers into EV era to crush Tesla and BYD appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BMW and Mercedes are done watching Tesla and BYD play kings. The two biggest luxury brands from Europe have just thrown down the gauntlet with all-electric SUVs meant to take back the market. After Tesla’s Model Y exploded into the scene and crushed every legacy automaker’s pride, the Germans are now swinging back, with range, software, and billions in development cash, according to The Wall Street Journal. As Cryptopolitan previously reported, BMW showed off its new iX3 at a splashy event, with CEO Oliver Zipse calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime moment.” Two days later, Mercedes revealed the electric GLC inside a damn royal palace in Munich, because why not? Both launches were timed just before Europe’s biggest auto event, IAA Mobility. These SUVs are built to push out Tesla, shut down BYD’s quiet takeover, and rewire how buyers think about tech, design, and status in the EV era. Mercedes roll out high-range tech-heavy SUVs The GLC from Mercedes hits 457 miles. Both easily beat the long-range Tesla Model Y, which only gets 387 miles. That alone will pull attention fast, especially with EV buyers increasingly worried about range in the real world. These cars are packed with chips, AI, and digital assistants. BMW teamed up with Qualcomm. Mercedes worked with Nvidia, plus Google and OpenAI. That combo lets the new GLC do stuff like open windows, find restaurants, and chat back using ChatGPT. Tesla’s lead came from doing everything in-house. BMW and Mercedes, meanwhile, leaned on Silicon Valley to leap forward. It’s a different route to the same goal: smart, fast, digital cars. And it’s not just for EVs. This tech will eventually go into gas and diesel models too. The two German SUVs aren’t cheap. BMW’s iX3 will sell for around $80,000 in Germany. The Model Y sits closer to…

Crypto Markets Enter Their Most Crucial Macro Week In 2025 Yet

Crypto Markets Enter Their Most Crucial Macro Week In 2025 Yet

Crypto markets head into what could be a regime-setting macro week as “this week could reshape everything for the Fed and markets,” warned the @_Investinq account in a weekend thread that laid out a dense sequence of US macro catalysts landing between Tuesday and Friday. While the posts weren’t about crypto per se, the chain of events they describe—labor‐market revisions, wholesale and consumer inflation, jobless claims, energy inventories, and consumer expectations—map almost one-for-one onto the key drivers of the US dollar and Treasury yields. Those, in turn, are the two macro levers that most reliably move digital assets, with bitcoin historically trading inversely to both the dollar and real yields. Crypto Volatility Alert: Fed’s Make-Or-Break Data Week Is Here The week opens with an unusually consequential Tuesday: at 10:00 a.m. ET on September 9, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish its preliminary benchmark revision to March 2025 payrolls alongside the QCEW. This is the annual “fact check” of the establishment survey that anchors jobs data to unemployment-insurance tax records covering more than 95% of payroll jobs. BLS has already flagged the timing; outside research shops have spent weeks priming markets for a significant down-adjustment. Goldman Sachs estimates a reduction on the order of 550,000 to 950,000 jobs for the twelve months through March 2025—potentially the largest 12-month markdown since 2010—an expectation echoed across several market digests and news outlets. Related Reading: Crypto Bull Run: Probability Of Fed Rate Cuts In September Almost At 100% The context matters: last year’s preliminary benchmark for March 2024 carved 818,000 jobs off previously reported totals, the biggest hit since the Great Financial Crisis, and it drove a reassessment of labor momentum into the fall. @_Investinq framed it this way: “Think of it as a yearly ‘fact check’ on job growth.” For crypto, a sizable downward revision would validate the “growth-is-slowing” narrative now feeding rate-cut bets into the September FOMC, a backdrop that has historically coincided with softer USD and more supportive cross-asset liquidity. Wednesday morning brings the wholesale inflation check. July’s Producer Price Index re-accelerated to +0.9% m/m and +3.3% y/y, with “final demand” goods up 0.7% and services up 1.1%; the BLS singled out a near 39% jump in fresh and dry vegetable prices and noted that financial services, lodging, and airfares contributed to the services surge. Under the hoods, “core PPI” ex-food and energy rose 0.9% m/m and 3.7% y/y, while the broader trimmed core (excluding food, energy and trade services) advanced 0.6% m/m and 2.8% y/y. @_Investinq cautioned: “Both goods and services are running hot, making it harder for the Fed to dismiss inflation.” Another firm print for August PPI would stiffen the dollar, push up yields, and typically pressure rate-sensitive risk assets—including high-beta crypto. Conversely, a cool-down would ease those headwinds. The August PPI is due Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 8:30 a.m. ET. Energy is the second macro input mid-week. The EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report hits Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. ET. Draws in crude stocks tend to push oil higher at the margin; higher energy costs feed directly into headline inflation and indirectly into core via transport and production costs. That’s not a crypto-specific datapoint, but it shapes inflation expectations and, by extension, real-yield dynamics that crypto trades against. All Eyes On The CPI The main event is Thursday’s Consumer Price Index, the last inflation read before the Fed’s September 16–17 meeting. In July, headline CPI rose +0.2% m/m and +2.7% y/y, while core CPI ticked up to 3.1% y/y from 2.9%, with sticky categories including shelter, healthcare, recreation, and auto insurance offsetting cheaper energy. “This CPI is the final inflation report before the September Fed meeting,” @_Investinq reminded followers. The August CPI lands Thursday, Sept. 11 at 8:30 a.m. ET. A softer-than-expected print would strengthen the case for a larger policy move, while a surprise re-acceleration—particularly in services—could cap a dovish reaction even if the Fed still cuts. For digital assets, the sign of the surprise matters: cool CPI tends to mean a weaker dollar and flatter real yields, both historically constructive for Bitcoin and the entire crypto market; hot CPI often does the opposite and usually hits altcoins hardest. Also Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET, weekly jobless claims arrive—a high-frequency pulse on labor slack. “Low claims = strong labor = hawkish Fed. Rising claims = cracks in labor = dovish tilt,” as the @_Investinq thread put it. Markets increasingly treat this series as a tie-breaker when inflation is ambiguous. Officially, the Labor Department’s unemployment-insurance release hits every Thursday morning at 8:30. Friday closes with the University of Michigan preliminary September sentiment and inflation expectations at 10:00 a.m. ET. August sentiment fell to 58.2 (final) from 61.7, while 1-year inflation expectations rose to 4.8%, up from 4.5% in July—what the @_Investinq thread labeled a “toxic combo” of weaker mood and firmer expectations. Related Reading: Spot Crypto Trading Gets Major Green Light From US Regulators The Fed watches expectations closely because they tend to shape wage/price behavior; for crypto, higher expected inflation can be a double-edged sword: if it lifts yields and the dollar it’s a near-term drag, but in more extreme risk-off episodes it has also coincided with flows into “anti-debasement” narratives around BTC and gold. FOMC Looms Over Crypto All of this lands in a Fed blackout window ahead of the September decision. The FOMC calendar confirms a September 16–17 meeting, and after Friday’s soft jobs report (nonfarm payrolls +22,000, unemployment 4.3%), several banks moved to price in a cut, with some houses openly debating 25 vs 50 basis points depending on the CPI/PPI path this week. That debate is exactly why “a small decimal swing here could shift trillions,” as @_Investinq put it. From a crypto-specific lens, the distinction matters: a standard 25 bps cut with benign inflation likely weakens the dollar modestly and supports Bitcoin and crypto on the margin; a surprise-large 50 bps cut on the heels of large jobs revisions would underscore growth risk and could flatten the entire curve. The immediate setup therefore looks binary for crypto assets. If Tuesday’s benchmark revision is large and Thursday’s CPI cools, the “USD down / yields down” impulse that crypto likes could reassert into the FOMC, potentially reinforcing a swing back to net inflows into crypto asset funds after episodic outflows in late August. If, however, PPI and CPI print hot, expect the dollar bid to harden, real yields to back up, and the pressure to fall disproportionately on high-beta altcoins while bitcoin’s relative strength—and spot ETF demand—acts as a cushion. As @_Investinq summarized, “This week isn’t just data, it’s the Fed’s last look before September… and markets will trade every decimal.” For crypto, that translation is straightforward: every tenth of a percentage point in PPI/CPI and every hundred thousand jobs in the benchmark revision will be read through the dollar–yields prism and priced first into BTC liquidity, then into altcoin beta. The calendar is set; the pivots will be macro. At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $3.82 trillion. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

All eyes on CPI and PPI as Fed’s final inflation check comes in a globally-packed week

All eyes on CPI and PPI as Fed’s final inflation check comes in a globally-packed week

The post All eyes on CPI and PPI as Fed’s final inflation check comes in a globally-packed week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Every trader is locked in right now, and every desk is watching. The final inflation prints before the Fed’s September meeting are coming, and they’re coming in hot. This week is loaded. We got six big U.S. releases, political drama in Europe, and an ECB rate decision all packed into five trading days, so the whole world is trying to price risk right now. The main events start Tuesday with a 12-month revision of BLS jobs data, a key reset that may change how the labor market has been viewed. Then comes the August Producer Price Index on Wednesday, which will show if supply-side pressures are building again. But the most critical data hit on Thursday, when the August Consumer Price Index drops alongside the OPEC monthly report. And to end the week, we’re going to get the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations surveys on Friday, the final pieces of the puzzle before the Fed’s rate decision. Fed watches inflation prints as traders prepare for a rate cut The Fed is stuck in a strange spot. Inflation is still above 2%, but the economy is bleeding out slowly. August payrolls missed big, coming in over 33% below expectations. Unemployment jumped from 4.2% to 4.3%. But that wasn’t due to layoffs. The labor force got bigger; 436,000 people entered the job market. So technically, more Americans are looking for jobs, not losing them. The market saw that and immediately started betting on a rate cut. As of late Sunday, the CME FedWatch tool shows an 8% chance of a 50bps cut, something that had a 0% chance just one month ago. A 25bps cut is now priced in as nearly guaranteed. This is where CPI and PPI become make-or-break. If both show progress, if prices are slowing, then…
