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.

Coinbase Equity Futures to Blend Mag 7 Tech Stocks With Crypto ETFs

Coinbase Equity Futures to Blend Mag 7 Tech Stocks With Crypto ETFs

Coinbase Derivatives said it will introduce a new type of equity index futures contract later this month, offering investors exposure to both leading U.S. technology stocks and cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in a single product.Launching Sept. 22, the Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures will be the first U.S.-listed derivatives contracts to combine traditional equities with digital assets, according to a blog post.The move, said the company, marks expansion beyond single-asset derivatives into multi-asset offerings designed to give investors thematic exposure to innovation and growth sectors.The new index includes ten components weighted equally at 10% each. It consists of the so-called “Magnificent 7” stocks — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta and Tesla — along with Coinbase’s own stock and two crypto ETFs: BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). MarketVector, known for its crypto and thematic indexes, will serve as the official index provider.Contracts will be monthly and cash-settled, with each representing $1 multiplied by the index level. At an index value of $3,000, for example, the notional value of one contract would be $3,000. The index will be rebalanced quarterly to restore equal weighting across all components.Coinbase framed the product as a way for investors to manage multi-asset risk more efficiently while gaining exposure to both sides of the innovation economy — Silicon Valley tech leaders and blockchain-native assets.“Equity index futures mark the next evolution of our product suite and pave the way for a new era of multi-asset derivatives,” the company said in its announcement.The launch comes amid growing investor appetite for crossover products that bridge traditional finance and crypto markets. Coinbase said it plans to expand availability of the contracts to retail users in the months ahead, though they will initially trade on partner platforms.

Why the price of Silver exceeds $40

Why the price of Silver exceeds $40

The post Why the price of Silver exceeds $40 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The precious metals market has just passed a symbolic milestone. The price of Silver (XAG/USD) has surged above $40 an ounce, reaching its highest level since September 2011. This move is attracting the attention of investors around the world, both for its economic implications and for what it reveals about the current economic climate. Silver monthly chart. Source: FXStreet A movement fuelled by interest rates This surge in Silver prices is primarily due to expectations of lower interest rates in the United States (US). The US Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to ease monetary policy this autumn, against a backdrop of a slowing job market and inflation that many still consider too high. Precious metals such as Gold and Silver offer no direct return. When interest rates fall, the opportunity cost of holding these assets decreases, making them even more attractive. It is this mechanism that is currently fuelling a wave of buying, supported by the conviction that the Fed will soon have its hands free to revive credit and support the economy. A climate of uncertainty in the United States The political context adds a further dimension to this dynamic. In the United States, the debate over the Fed’s independence has intensified, fuelled by US President Donald Trump’s repeated criticism of the monetary institution. His attacks have cast doubt on the stability of economic policies, boosting demand for safe-haven assets. In addition, persistent trade tensions and court rulings on US tariffs add to the uncertainty. In this environment, Silver and Gold appear to be reassuring alternatives for investors. The scarcity effect: A market under pressure Beyond monetary policy, the Silver market is also underpinned by a particular supply and demand dynamic. The Silver Institute estimates that 2025 could mark the fifth consecutive year of supply deficit. Industrial demand, particularly…
