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.

Stock rally hits $1.2T as China considers market curbs

Stock rally hits $1.2T as China considers market curbs

The post Stock rally hits $1.2T as China considers market curbs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China’s regulators are considering new steps to slow the stock market. This is after a $1.2 trillion rally in just over a month, raising fears of overheating and risky speculation. The possible steps include reviewing short-selling limits, increasing checks on speculative trades, and discouraging heavy retail participation that could cause a sharp downturn. Officials try to keep the rally steady and avoid another crash The Chinese stock rally added over $1.2 trillion in market value in over a month, and while this may sound like good news, regulators are uneasy. Their fear remains justified because of a similar and painful event in 2015, where the market skyrocketed at alarming rates only to collapse just as fast, leaving huge losses behind. At that time, retail investors flooded the market with loans after brokers promised easy profits and ran big promotions that seemed too good to miss. But when the rally crashed, it wiped out all their savings and damaged the people’s confidence in the government’s ability to manage similar financial risks.  Chinese officials today don’t want to stop the rally, but they want to avoid a repeat of 2015. So, they are determined to guide it into a more sustainable path without leaving room for another devastating collapse.  The timing of these discussions shows that financial stability is closely tied to politics in China. History indicates that the country’s lawmakers seem more active in maintaining market peace when major national events are around the corner. The current debate over cooling measures took place just as the country prepared for the September 3 military parade, which marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.  At the same time, market data doesn’t provide a justified image of the rally’s current strength or the potential risks that could come about in the…

Solana Chain Carnival: Can Pump.fun's CCM Reshape the Creator Economy?

Solana Chain Carnival: Can Pump.fun's CCM Reshape the Creator Economy?

Yesterday, the Solana chain was quite lively. First, $CARD and $ZARD led the on-chain RWA craze for Pokémon cards, and then the well-known KOL HIM led the CS2 skin market $HUCH, and the market value also soared. It seems that the concept of ICM is gaining momentum on Solana. At the same time, PumpFun released a version update video, launched Project Ascend and Dynamic Fees V1, and proposed a new concept Creator Capital Markets (CCM). At first glance, it seems that the product ideas of Heaven and Bags are not much different from those of some time ago. This also triggered the return of a number of project developers, including the long-banned Memecoin trader Mitch, who launched his own live-streaming token on Pumpfun, which saw its market value exceed $42 million within three hours. This series of activity led to a general rise in other live-streaming tokens, while Pumpfun's token creation and graduation rates both increased by over 40%. Pumpfun’s ambition this time seems to be not just to have ICM, but to use the concept of CCM to make pumpfun a more extreme version of Twitch. Project Ascend Innovation According to an official announcement from Pump.fun, the core change introduced by Project Ascend is the Dynamic Fees V1 system. This new tiered creator fee structure radically changes the previous fixed-rate model. Under the previous system, creators received the same percentage of transaction fees regardless of their token's market capitalization. Now, the system introduces a dynamic fee rate tied to market capitalization—tokens with higher market capitalization receive lower creator fees, while smaller projects continue to contribute higher fees. The rationale behind this design is to encourage creators to focus on the long-term growth of their tokens, rather than short-term cashing out. PumpSwap transaction fees and content creator earnings for tokens with different market capitalizations Officials claim that this update increases creators' potential earnings tenfold. For creators who successfully manage the token ecosystem, this means they no longer need to sell their holdings to profit, instead earning a steady income through a consistent share of transaction fees. This paradigm shift is a key step in Pump.fun's efforts to address the widespread "pump and dump" problem within the memecoin ecosystem. Dynamic Fees V1 applies to all PumpSwap tokens, both newly issued and existing, while maintaining the same protocol and liquidity provider fee distribution. For "abandoned" projects whose creators have vanished, fees will flow to the community. CTO projects can apply to receive creator fees, and Pump.fun promises a significantly faster approval process. Mitch's Return: A Small-Town Story from Broke to Millionaire After Pump.fun announced its update, the first major returnee was Mitch (@MitchOnSOL_), a legendary trader who was banned multiple times by Platform X. His story is well-known in the Solana memecoin community. He entered the crypto space in 2022 and initially profited through contract trading, but lost nearly all his funds due to an addiction to online blackjack. By 2023, he had only 1 SOL left, but he achieved a 100x return by buying Milady. He then invested in popular memecoins like Retardio, pushing his assets to a peak of $8 million. Mitch's success is as notable as his controversial nature within the community. Community members like TMtheOG accused him of being an "insider" of the Pump.fun team, claiming he laundered millions of dollars through soft rug pulls, leading to his official ban from X. However, supporters like imperooterxbt defended him, arguing that he was one of the few influencers who openly purchased high-market-cap tokens and promoted them like a regular community member, rather than solely promoting insider projects he held. The reason for his ban was extortion from X. While this was only Mitch's side of the story, some supportive community members still voiced their support, chanting "Free Mitch." This time, Mitch launched his own creator coin, $MITCH. He personally purchased 80% of the supply, stating that neither he would lock it up nor sell it, but would only give it away in future livestreams, with only 20% ultimately entering circulation. In his announcement, he emphasized that this wasn't a charity, but rather a "personal experiment for fun." However, the striking $24 million in his address, God.SOL, made this experiment truly "entertaining" for him. MITCH quickly launched MOONSHOT after its launch, which also allowed its market value to exceed 42 million US dollars in a short period of time. However, if calculated based on the "circulating market value", the highest market value was only about 8.4 million US dollars. Rasmr's Livestreaming Empire: From Researcher to Memecoin Influencer Equally garnering attention alongside Mitch is blockchain researcher rasmr_eth (@rasmr_eth). As a core member of the probablynothing community, he joins well-known streamer ThreadGuy, former DEGODS founder Frank Degod, and OGshoots. Some of these individuals form an insider group known as the "Hookah Gang." They have issued numerous high-market-cap tokens, many of which are soft-coins, a source of controversy. Rasmr has been active in the crypto space since 2011 and currently has over 117,000 followers. His influence lies not only in his research and analysis, but also in the unique community culture he has built through live streaming. Rasmr has called other creators during live broadcasts to discuss memecoin opportunities (sometimes with insider information), and these "classic meme moments" often become hot topics in the community. He streams on his Twitch channel and pumpfun, covering trading demonstrations, blockchain discussions, and even livestreams of games like Path of Exile 2. His posts demonstrate a strong sense of community, and he often engages in memecoin fervor, from taking Muard out on the street to force-sell Chillhouse to people, to visiting traditional fund companies to promote Fartcoin. While quite nonsensical, it does, in some ways, introduce more people to memecoins. The live broadcast token $rasmr he previously launched currently has a market value fluctuating between 5 and 7 million US dollars, and he also holds 80% of the token. Old School Trader Gainzy Gainzy started to get involved in crypto during the 2017 crypto bull market. At that time, he participated in multiple projects that allowed him to obtain a 10-fold return on his assets. However, with the collapse of FTX, he eventually lost most of his assets due to the bankruptcy of the platform. He considers the "hellish" experience of the 2018-2019 bear market trough a valuable lesson, often sharing it in his livestreams as CT history (Crypto Twitter History). He began by scalping, excelling at profiting in volatile markets. He believes that long-term holdings are generally risky due to the influence of the DXY (US Dollar Index), bond yields, and Federal Reserve announcements, which is why he also enjoys trading Memecoins. He represents a different approach to livestreaming. Compared to other streamers, he's more of a "boomer" (old-school) type. His livestreams are pretty regular, starting at 10 a.m. every day, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for hours, just like a regular workday. Sometimes he shares technical analysis and trading strategies, sometimes he discusses the market, and sometimes he just gambles with friends or shares his personal life. He self-deprecatingly calls himself "Washed," saying most of his followers come from the early cycle (2017-2022), when algorithms were unfavorable to new traffic. He emphasized the essence of the streamer identity: "Most are destined to fail (NPCs or boring people), and only a few main characters can stand out." Interestingly, although he issued his own live streaming token, he distanced himself from others' live streaming tokens. He stated that while he recognizes their potential, in this sector, content quality is far more important than short-term profit. The price of his token GNZYSTRM has been rising steadily since it was launched in April, basically fluctuating between 2 million and 5 million market capitalization. BASEDD BASEDD was launched by Jacky and others in early 2024, initially focusing on NFT and memecoin projects in the Solana ecosystem. By 2025, it evolved into "BASEDD House", a content creation center focused on physical and virtual. In March 2025, they announced the Summer Content House program, selecting 7 creators through a "talent show" series, focusing on short videos, live broadcasts, vlogs, and cross-platform activations (such as Twitch, YouTube, Pump.fun). The program aims to break the "CT echo chamber" (Crypto Twitter echo chamber) and provide a viral content environment. In August and September 2025, the community entered Season 2 and relocated from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, becoming deeply involved in the explosive growth of the Pump.fun live streaming track. Currently, the market capitalization of its community token, $BASEDD, remains between $2 million and $5 million. While the community already has a token, several members also have their own "livestreaming tokens." GOON, run by @nevergoon100, for example, takes a more entertaining approach. GOON's livestreams are often filled with absurd and dramatic elements. While this style has been controversial, it has successfully attracted the attention of many young investors. Goon gave a child $200 worth of memecoin $USDUC during a live broadcast and asked him to download pumpfun Is CCM an innovation or just another speculation? The concept of Content Creator Markets (CCM) marks Pump.fun's attempt to build a radical new creator economy model. Unlike traditional content creation or livestreaming platforms like Twitch, CCM allows creators' influence to be directly represented and traded through tokens. Viewers no longer rely solely on tips or subscriptions to support creators; instead, they can share in the benefits of their success by purchasing tokens. However, this isn't PumpFun's first attempt at this. Since its introduction in late 2024, Pump.fun's livestreaming feature has been controversial for its lack of regulation, allowing users to post inappropriate content (drug use, pornography, and extreme behavior). This has led to significant speculation and potential market manipulation, resulting in significant losses for many participants. Maintaining market order while encouraging innovation has become Pump.fun's biggest challenge. The community's reaction to CCM was sharply divided. Threadguy, in his post, argued that the era of "influence being directly exchanged for money" had arrived. However, a significant number of critics argued that this was just another speculative bubble, with retail investors ultimately the victims. Is this Pump.fun update a significant step forward in the evolution of the memecoin ecosystem, or another bubble about to burst? The answer will likely be determined by the market and time. But what is certain is that in the world of Web3, the relationship between creators and supporters is being redefined.

Bitcoin’s $124k Rally and the Rise of Utility

Bitcoin’s $124k Rally and the Rise of Utility

The post Bitcoin’s $124k Rally and the Rise of Utility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin has stormed back in 2025, hitting a new all-time high of over $124,000 in August after a turbulent start to the year. The rally is more than a speculative rebound. It is the manifestation of crypto’s long-promised integration into the global financial system. But unlike earlier cycles, this rally is not lifting the entire market. Investors are now rewarding utility and the CoinDesk 20 Index is emerging as the benchmark for separating signal from noise. Institutions are all-in Physical bitcoin exchange traded products (ETPs) pulled in nearly $38 billion over the past year, pushing global AUM beyond $165 billion. Hedge funds are exploiting basis trades, corporates are stockpiling bitcoin and the U.S. has gone as far as creating a strategic bitcoin reserve. At the same time, liquidity and infrastructure have transformed. Per Glassnode, CME-listed futures now cover bitcoin, ether, SOL and XRP, while bitcoin options open interest has topped $50 billion. Bitcoin has never looked more institutional. Macro tailwind Trump’s second-term tax cuts and a U.S. debt pile north of $34 trillion have investors bracing for dollar debasement. Global reserve managers are hedging with gold and alternatives. Bitcoin’s scarcity and neutrality make it the obvious complement. Our model places bitcoin at $250,000 by 2030 under base-case monetary expansion assumptions.. If fiscal policy turns more reckless, that upside could accelerate. Altcoins face a reality check Crucially, this bull cycle is no longer about a rising tide lifting all boats. Investors are rewarding protocols that deliver real-world impact. Solana has evolved into the leading consumer-grade blockchain. Ethereum has formed as the institutional backbone of on-chain finance. XRP, armed with legal clarity, is cementing itself as a low-cost, high-speed settlement layer for cross-border finance. The market is finally demanding fundamentals, and projects without substance are fading into irrelevance. CoinDesk 20: investible core…

US Second In Crypto Adoption On ETFs, Regulatory Clarity: Chainalysis

US Second In Crypto Adoption On ETFs, Regulatory Clarity: Chainalysis

The post US Second In Crypto Adoption On ETFs, Regulatory Clarity: Chainalysis appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Regulatory momentum in Washington and crypto exchange-traded funds have pushed the US up two spots into second place for crypto adoption, according to Chainalysis. The US trailed only India, which maintained the top spot for the third year in a row, and contributed to the Asia Pacific region being crowned the fastest-growing between July 2024 and June 2025, Chainalysis said in its 2025 Global Adoption Index published on Wednesday. Chainalysis chief economist Kim Grauer told Cointelegraph that crypto adoption is mostly accelerating in mature markets with clearer rules and institutional rails, and in emerging markets where stablecoins are transforming how people manage money. “The biggest driver of this adoption is utility: whether it’s stablecoins used for remittances, savings in inflation-prone economies, or decentralized apps meeting local needs, people adopt crypto when it solves real problems.” Pakistan was one of the biggest movers, climbing six spots to third place, while Vietnam and Brazil rounded out the top five.  Nigeria dropped from second to sixth place despite making some regulatory progress over the past year, while Indonesia, Ukraine, the Philippines and Russia filled out the top 10. The overall rankings factored in four subindexes, which assessed the crypto value received from retail and institutions through centralized and decentralized services. Top 20 countries in overall crypto adoption. Source: Chainalysis US rises to second on ETF adoption, clearer rules The US rose from fourth in Chainalysis’ last report to second place, sparked by increased spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF adoption and clearer regulations that legitimized crypto’s role in traditional finance.  “Regulatory clarity is particularly important for large corporates and traditional financial institutions, for whom compliance, legal and reputational considerations tend to rank highly,” Grauer said. Farside Investors data shows that the US spot Bitcoin ETFs have taken in $54.5 billion worth of inflows since launching…

Expert Analyst Claims Bitcoin Will “First Fall to $100,000,” Then Shares What They Expect Next

Expert Analyst Claims Bitcoin Will “First Fall to $100,000,” Then Shares What They Expect Next

The post Expert Analyst Claims Bitcoin Will “First Fall to $100,000,” Then Shares What They Expect Next appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency analyst Joao Wedson shared a remarkable assessment stating that Bitcoin may enter a critical period in the coming period. According to Wedson, a cyclical formation they pointed out in 2024 could be completed in October 2025, marking the end of an important phase in Bitcoin’s history. Wedson suggested that if this cycle is confirmed, Bitcoin could quickly drop to the $100,000 level and then surge above $140,000. However, the analyst added that relying solely on technical fractal analysis is risky. One of the most critical points of the analysis is how the market will be affected by institutional demand, ETF speculation, and political developments. Wedson particularly highlighted Elon Musk’s comment that “Trump could trigger a bear market in the last quarter of 2025.” As you may recall, Musk had previously shared a post hinting at Bitcoin’s $69,000 peak in 2021 months ago. “Is the 4-year cycle over and Bitcoin entering an endless uptrend, as new crypto investors claim, or is 2025 the last gasp before a sharp correction? We shouldn’t rule out the possibility of prices falling below $50,000 in 2026,” Wedson said. The analyst concluded his comment by stating that all these scenarios are merely theoretical, saying, “Perhaps only Satoshi Nakamoto knows what will actually happen.” *This is not investment advice.
