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.

The First AI Growth Agent

The First AI Growth Agent

The post The First AI Growth Agent appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. 1.   What is XerpaAI and why did the team decide to start now? XerpaAI is inspired by the Sherpa. By the summer of 2025, only about 7,600 people in history had ever reached the top of Mount Everest. Almost all of them — more than 99% — did it with the help of Sherpa guides. These guides carry the heavy loads, fix the ropes, and clear dangerous paths so climbers can focus on climbing. The number of people who made it to the top without a Sherpa is so small you could count them on your fingers. Growing a startup is much the same. You can try to climb alone, but your chances of success drop fast. Most projects — whether they realize it or not — need their own “Sherpa” for growth. XerpaAI is the world’s first AGA: AI Growth Agent. Unlike advice-only tools, AGA climbs alongside you — automating the entire growth journey. We started now because our team has lived through every stage of the startup journey — from scaling late-stage unicorns like WeWork, to building blockchain tools used worldwide like MetaMask, to creating and selling our own companies. Along the way, we saw the same gap again and again: emerging projects lacked a single, reliable growth engine. Today, with AI finally mature enough to power end-to-end automation, we’re filling that gap. 2.   What’s your target market and who’s your ideal client? Our first “mountain” is Web3 — an industry full of rapid opportunities, but also steep drops if you miss your timing. After that, we plan to expand into AI, which moves at the same speed and carries similar risks. In a year, we plan to acquire and serve all three types of clients: Web3 projects, Web3 and AI hybrid, and AI projects. Currently,…

What Could Block Strategy’s Path to the S&P 500

What Could Block Strategy’s Path to the S&P 500

The post What Could Block Strategy’s Path to the S&P 500 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor’s Strategy could be the next crypto company to join the S&P 500 stock market index, a benchmark of the 500 biggest US public companies by market capitalization, according to analysts. The company must still clear hurdles before being admitted, however. Market analyst Jeff Walton forecast a 91% chance that Strategy would join the index as the company moves toward meeting all the requirements to be included in the benchmark. According to data from Nasdaq, Strategy has trading volumes of several million shares per day, a market capitalization of over $92 billion at the time of writing and positive generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income over the last four quarters of over $5.3 billion. Strategy’s financial metrics exceed the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the S&P 500 stock market index. Source: Yahoo Finance Strategy is listed on the Nasdaq 100, an index that tracks the 100 largest companies by market capitalization listed on the tech-focused Nasdaq stock exchange. However, despite the company meeting all the requirements and already being included in a major stock market index, it may still be denied inclusion if the committee tasked with evaluating companies rules against adding it after taking a “holistic” view of the prospective candidate. US Index Committee still gets the final say According to S&P Global methodology, companies must have a market capitalization of at least $22.7 billion, a liquidity ratio of 0.75 or more — the annual trading volume divided by the company’s market cap — and a trading volume of at least 250,000 shares per month to be eligible. The sum of a company’s net income, calculated through GAAP standards over the last four quarters must be positive, with the most recent quarter being profitable for inclusion in the index. The US Index Committee is in charge of…

Avoid trading these 2 cryptocurrencies this weekend

Avoid trading these 2 cryptocurrencies this weekend

The post Avoid trading these 2 cryptocurrencies this weekend appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As the weekend approaches, investors eyeing the cryptocurrency markets may want to consider a few key indicators to guide their trading decisions. One of the most important is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum gauge that measures recent gains and losses on a 0–100 scale.  Currently, some assets are flashing warning signals, as RSI readings above 70 often indicate overbought conditions and a higher risk of a pullback. With this in mind, Finbold has identified two cryptocurrencies in the overbought zone that traders may want to avoid this weekend. PAX Gold (PAXG) PAX Gold (PAXG) is a cryptocurrency backed by physical gold, designed to give investors exposure to the precious metal without the need for storage.  On the surface, its performance appears stable, with the token trading at $3,558.12, almost unchanged over the past 24 hours. However, beneath this calm surface lies a concerning signal. The RSI reveals a different picture: from a neutral 49.06 on the 15-minute chart, momentum has steadily climbed to 76.21 on the 24-hour timeframe.  PAXG price and RSI. Source: Coinglass This rise suggests that while price action has been flat, the asset is quietly slipping into overbought territory. Redstone (RED) Redstone (RED), a crypto project focused on decentralized finance and scalable blockchain data solutions, has seen explosive growth.  The token is priced at $0.6821, surging 65.44% in the last 24 hours, making it one of the strongest performers in the market. But the rally is showing signs of exhaustion. RSI readings are stretched, 64.89 (15-minute), 77.42 (12-hour), and 75.92 (24-hour).  RED price and RSI.

With momentum overheated, the token faces an increased risk of a sharp retracement in the near term.

Google’s Sundar Pichai credits Trump for winning antitrust case

Google’s Sundar Pichai credits Trump for winning antitrust case

The post Google’s Sundar Pichai credits Trump for winning antitrust case appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sundar Pichai said it to Donald Trump’s face: the win in Google’s antitrust case had a lot to do with the president’s time in office. At a Thursday dinner hosted at the White House with other tech executives, Trump looked straight at the Google CEO and said, “Well you had a very good day yesterday … Do you want to talk about that big day you had yesterday?” That “big day” was the moment Alphabet, Google’s parent company, added $230 billion to its market cap after dodging a forced breakup in a federal court ruling, as was reported by Cryptopolitan. The antitrust case, first launched by the Department of Justice in 2020, accused Google of running an illegal monopoly in the search market. Judge Amit Mehta ruled this week that while Google did break the law, the DOJ’s most extreme demands weren’t justified. That ruling triggered a surge in Google’s stock price. Sundar didn’t argue. “I’m glad it’s over,” he told Trump at the table, getting laughs from the other guests. “It’s a long process … Appreciate that your administration had a constructive dialogue, and we were able to get it to some resolution.” Trump simply replied, “Right.” Google walks away with billions and no major restrictions The ruling wasn’t a light slap. It acknowledged wrongdoing. But it also shut down the DOJ’s harsher ideas, like forcing Google to break up or stop paying Apple billions per year to stay the default search engine on iPhones. That deal alone is worth billions, helping Apple and keeping Google at the top of the food chain. On Tuesday, Apple’s stock jumped 4% after hours, clearly pleased with the court’s decision. Mehta’s decision was a dunk. “Google will not be barred from making payments or offering other consideration to distribution partners for preloading…

Will Altcoin ETFs Ignite the Next Wave of Crypto Growth?

Will Altcoin ETFs Ignite the Next Wave of Crypto Growth?

The post Will Altcoin ETFs Ignite the Next Wave of Crypto Growth? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyst James Seyffart sheds light over Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs that are in high demand.   Solana and XRP ETFs attract attention, but inflows won’t match BTC and ETH. Basket ETFs could boost adoption, however SEC’s stay order holds up their launch. As crypto markets head into the fall with momentum, one question looms large: Will altcoin ETFs trigger a new wave of adoption in 2024-2025? Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart believes the answer could reshape the industry.  Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Set the Stage Bitcoin spot ETFs have already pulled in tens of billions since their approval, while Ethereum ETFs have accelerated, with inflows topping $14 billion. Notably, $10 billion of that arrived in just the past quarter. With this, the attention had shifted from the giants to altcoins. “Ethereum ETFs surprised even the skeptics,” Seyffart said on Milkroad podcast, adding that hedge funds and investment advisors dominate institutional filings, while retail demand makes up a large, less-visible share. With focus moved to other altcoins like Solana and XRP, the discussion opened new insights on the assets. Products offering staking, such as Solana’s ETF, have already attracted interest, while leveraged XRP futures ETFs have outpaced expectations. Seyffart warns, however, that investors should not expect the same scale of inflows seen with Bitcoin or Ethereum: Why Basket ETFs Could Be the Real Breakthrough Seyffart stated that the longer-tail assets would have demand and that there will be multiple products, but not every single one will thrive. The real growth, he argues, could come from basket products, funds that group multiple digital assets under one ETF.  “Even if it’s 70% Bitcoin, 20% Ethereum, and 10% everything else, that’s a product advisers can easily fit into a portfolio,” he said. Both Bitwise and Grayscale received approval to list their basket products, but the…

Bitcoin To $175k, Ethereum To $17k Before Dot-Com Style Crash, Economist Warns

Bitcoin To $175k, Ethereum To $17k Before Dot-Com Style Crash, Economist Warns

In an interview with Dutch host Paul Buitink published on September 4, Henrik Zeberg, Head Economist at SwissBlock, set out a two-stage roadmap for Bitcoin and crypto: a final, powerful “melt-up” driven by liquidity and momentum, followed by a dot-com-style bust that he says will be catalyzed by a surging dollar and tightening financial conditions. “We do have the largest bubble ever,” Zeberg said, arguing that equities, crypto and real estate will first climb further before the cycle turns. “The music is still playing and you can still get a drink at the bar,” he quipped, extending his Titanic metaphor to explain why he believes sentiment and macro signals have not yet turned decisively negative. Bitcoin, Ethereum To Soar Before Dot-Com Style Crash Zeberg locates the current moment late in the business cycle but not at the point of breakdown. He points to the absence—so far—of classic pre-recession triggers in yields, credit spreads and initial jobless claims. “A crash doesn’t come out of thin air,” he said. “We simply don’t see those signals just yet.” With global liquidity improving at the margin and the Federal Reserve already “pivoting” in tone, he expects a sharp upside phase reminiscent of Japan’s 1989 finale: a rising angle that steepens into a near-vertical blow-off. At the index level, he pegs the S&P 500’s terminal run at roughly 7,500 to 8,200 from around 6,400 today. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Cut Back: Average Holdings At Lowest Since 2018 Crypto, in his view, will amplify the move. Zeberg expects Bitcoin to lurch first to “at least” $140,000, then top somewhere in the $165,000 to $175,000 range before the bust begins. He projects Ethereum near $17,000 on the assumption that the ETH/BTC ratio can stretch to about 0.12 in a late-cycle altcoin phase. He stressed the path would be abrupt rather than leisurely: “When things are moving in crypto and into the final phase of a bubble, it can be very, very fast.” The fulcrum of his thesis is the US dollar. Zeberg is watching closely for a DXY bottom and then a surge to 117–120—“the wrecking ball” that, in his telling, would hammer risk assets as global dollar demand spikes. “If we’re going to see somewhat of a crisis, all this debt will need to be settled in dollars,” he said, calling the greenback “still the cleanest shirt,” even if it is “getting quite nasty.” In that scenario, liquidity preference overwhelms risk appetite, credit tightens and deleveraging begins—especially outside the US, where dollar liabilities collide with local-currency cash flows. He argues that monetary easing cannot ultimately forestall a cyclical turn once the real economy rolls over. Rate cuts may initially goose markets—“You’re going to see it running up really fast”—but then “the more wise people in the market” will infer weakness rather than salvation. He thinks the Fed will start with 25 basis points this month, while leaving open the possibility of a larger shock move. Either way, he sees a relatively short deflationary bust—“six to nine months” in one formulation—followed by policy panic and, on the other side, a stagflationary phase in which “the tools of the Fed will become impotent.” He was caustic about the profession’s inflation priors, skewering what he called the “hubris” of micromanaging CPI to exactly 2% and ridiculing the decision to award Ben Bernanke a Nobel Prize for what he described as “reinventing money printing,” calling it “the most stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.” Zeberg’s commodity framework slots into that sequence. He expects gold to do its “finest duty” during a liquidity crunch—get sold to raise cash—before it reprises 2008’s pattern with a steep drawdown, then a powerful recovery. He cited the 2008 analog of a roughly 33–35% peak-to-trough decline in gold and as much as 60% in silver before the policy response set a new leg higher. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flashes Rare Buy Signal Not Seen Since $49,000 And $74,000 Bottoms Secularly, however, he projects gold “into the 2030s” at as much as $35,000 per ounce as negative real rates, balance-sheet expansion and an eventual “monetary reset” reprice money. That reset, in his vision, would anchor a new settlement system on gold and ledger-based rails—“a digital element to it,” but “not Bitcoin.” Strategy: The Largest Ponzi In The Market? On single-name risk, Zeberg delivered one of the interview’s most incendiary lines about Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. “I think we have the largest open Ponzi game when it comes to MicroStrategy,” he said. “Everybody needs to pile into the stock, then he can take on some more debt and he buys more Bitcoin.” He tied the firm’s vulnerability to his macro template: if DXY heads to 120 and “the largest bubble in the world, the Nasdaq,” suffers an 85%-type drawdown, “Bitcoin is going to have a really, really bad period—and then that means MicroStrategy is going to have that.” He called the structure “the largest house of cards we have seen in a long time” and warned that an unwind would be “really, really bad for people who think they can just hold on to it.” The characterization was his alone; he did not present evidence beyond his cyclical and balance-sheet logic, and his remarks were framed within his broader melt-up-then-bust scenario. Beyond headline tokens, Zeberg argued that “99%” of crypto projects will ultimately fail, with only a handful emerging like the Amazons that survived the dot-com washout. He distinguished between speculative coins and blockchain projects that deliver real-world utility, while cautioning that “this rampant speculation” has been prolonged by an era of easy money. As for timing catalysts, Zeberg downplayed the idea of a single trigger and instead described an environment that “becomes toxic” as high rates, falling real income and climbing delinquencies pressure banks and corporates. He is monitoring front-end yields—which he says have begun to “break some levels”—credit spreads, and the dollar’s turn. He also noted that large-cap tech’s earnings concentration has “distorted” the market and that even quality small-cap tech is likely to be dragged lower in an indiscriminate unwind. The first stage, however, remains higher. “It’s a self-propelling cycle,” he said of the melt-up, powered by FOMO and the belief that “the Fed has got our back.” At press time, BTC traded at $111,528.
