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.

PENGU price drops 35% but September rebound hopes rise

PENGU price drops 35% but September rebound hopes rise

The post PENGU price drops 35% but September rebound hopes rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. PENGU price has fallen sharply from its late-July peak, yet analysts suggest the decline could set the stage for a stronger rebound in September. Summary PENGU trades at $0.027, down 35% from July’s local high. NFT market slump and ETH pullback drove selling pressure. Analysts see September catalysts as setup for a rebound. The Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) token is trading at $0.027 as of press time, down roughly 35% from its July 28 local high of $0.043. After declining 13% over the past week and 20% over the past 30 days, the token is nearly 60% below its peak of $0.068 set in December 2024.  Despite the price decline, trading activity is still strong. PENGU recorded $214.8 million in spot volume over the past 24 hours, up 15% from the day before. Derivatives data from Coinglass show futures turnover rising 24% to $586 million, while open interest dropped 5.3% to $275 million. During a pullback, rising volume combined with declining open interest often shows that traders are closing positions rather than building new leverage, indicating cautious sentiment. PENGU price market drivers and sentiment shift PENGU’s drop is a reflection of the overall cooling of the NFT market, whose monthly volume dropped from a peak of $8.2 billion on Aug. 14 to $6 billion as of press time. Ethereum’s (ETH) price retreat also weighed on valuations despite positive ecosystem developments. The transition of PENGU from an NFT-linked token to a utility-driven brand has been taking place. The launch of Pudgy Party, a Web3 mobile game on Aug. 29 that quickly surpassed 50,000 downloads and ranked in the top 10 of the App Store, introduced direct utility for the token through in-game purchases and staking rewards. Short-term on-chain demand, including activity tied to Pudgy Penguins’ mobile game downloads, has not offset profit-taking…

Bitcoiners Divided By This Big Issue: ‘$1 Million BTC’ Samson Mow

Bitcoiners Divided By This Big Issue: ‘$1 Million BTC’ Samson Mow

The post Bitcoiners Divided By This Big Issue: ‘$1 Million BTC’ Samson Mow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Major split hits Bitcoin community: Mow Bitcoin dusts every major asset: JAN3 data Samson Mow, a major Bitcoin advocate and the JAN3 CEO, has voiced an issue that he believes the BTC community is getting divided over at the moment. His former employer from Blockstream and Satoshi Nakamoto’s ally, Adam Back, joined the discussion, leaving comments on his tweet. Major split hits Bitcoin community: Mow Samson Mow tweeted that he currently observes the Bitcoin community splitting into those who view BTC as “a vehicle for applied cryptography” and those who “are interested in Bitcoin as money.” He is likely referring to the dispute that emerged in the community earlier this year as Bitcoin Core developers and node operators decided to eliminate the OP_RETURN size limit, th returning to Bitcoin Knots. In May this year, the use of Knots showed a parabolic rise, quickly jumping to 137% with 1,890 Bitcoin nodes using Bitcoin Knots back then. In total, almost 6% of all BTC nodes switched to Knots back then. This decision was made to allow Bitcoin to be used beyond just payments. What we are seeing is a split between those that are more interested in Bitcoin as a vehicle for applied cryptography and those that are interested in Bitcoin as money. — Samson Mow (@Excellion) September 1, 2025 Blockstream founder Adam Back brought it down to the following: “the confusion is from people who don’t understand game theory and dislike nuance and those who do.” You Might Also Like Bitcoin dusts every major asset: JAN3 data Samson Mow retweeted an X post published by the account of his company, JAN3, showing Bitcoin outperforming major traditional assets over the past years.

WTI drifts higher to near $64.00 on Russia-Ukraine supply concerns

WTI drifts higher to near $64.00 on Russia-Ukraine supply concerns

The post WTI drifts higher to near $64.00 on Russia-Ukraine supply concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI price attracts some buyers near $63.95 in Monday’s early European session, adding 0.30% on the day.  Rising Fed rate cut bets and persistent Russia-Ukraine tensions support the WTI price. Investors assess the impact of the heightened US tariffs on Indian goods.  West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US crude oil benchmark, is trading around $63.95 during the early European trading hours on Monday. The WTI recovers some lost ground as rising bets of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut offset pressure from new US tariffs on Indian imports. Traders await the release of the American Petroleum Institute (API) weekly crude oil stock, which is due later on Tuesday.  Traders still ramp up their bets of a Fed rate reduction this month despite the hot US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index report for July. Markets are now pricing in nearly an 89% possibility of a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut by the Fed at the September policy meeting, up from an 85% chance before the US PCE data, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Fed rate cut expectations might weigh on the US Dollar (USD) and underpin the USD-denominated commodity price.  Additionally, escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine contribute to the WTI’s upside as the attacks reignited supply security concerns. Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian energy sites, sparking a fire at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and damaging the Ust-Luga export terminal in the Baltic Sea. US President Donald Trump threatened to impose additional sanctions on Russia if no progress is made in peace talks with Ukraine.   On the other hand, Trump’s decision to impose steep tariffs on Indian imports took effect, raising fears of slowing trade and weaker global demand. This, in turn, might undermine the black gold in the near term. The Trump administration doubled tariffs on Indian imports…

Gold, Silver shine as US Dollar sags amid thin trading conditions

Gold, Silver shine as US Dollar sags amid thin trading conditions

The post Gold, Silver shine as US Dollar sags amid thin trading conditions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Here is what you need to know on Monday, September 1: The US Dollar Index (DXY) is on the defensive at the beginning of a new week and a month, extending its bearish momentum, despite a risk-averse market environment. US Dollar Price Today The table below shows the percentage change of US Dollar (USD) against listed major currencies today. US Dollar was the weakest against the British Pound. USD EUR GBP JPY CAD AUD NZD CHF USD -0.19% -0.22% -0.04% 0.09% 0.09% -0.09% -0.03% EUR 0.19% -0.03% 0.09% 0.29% 0.28% 0.10% 0.16% GBP 0.22% 0.03% 0.00% 0.32% 0.31% 0.13% 0.24% JPY 0.04% -0.09% 0.00% 0.20% 0.15% -0.01% 0.05% CAD -0.09% -0.29% -0.32% -0.20% 0.00% -0.18% -0.08% AUD -0.09% -0.28% -0.31% -0.15% -0.01% -0.18% -0.08% NZD 0.09% -0.10% -0.13% 0.01% 0.18% 0.18% 0.11% CHF 0.03% -0.16% -0.24% -0.05% 0.08% 0.08% -0.11% The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the US Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent USD (base)/JPY (quote). China’s private sector manufacturing activity unexpectedly returned to expansion in August, with a 50.5 reading, but the optimism is being offset by the trade quagmire and the tech sell-off on Wall Street indices last week. The Japanese stocks tracked the Wall Street decline, sending the benchmark Nikkei 225 index as much as 2% lower on the day. Chinese indices were a mixed bag. On Friday, a US court ruled that President Donald Trump’s global tariffs, unilaterally imposed, as largely illegal. However, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a Fox News interview on Sunday that…

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy on the ropes after 54% decline – Details

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy on the ropes after 54% decline – Details

The post Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy on the ropes after 54% decline – Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Despite Bitcoin’s recent price gains, Metaplanet’s stock has fallen by 54% since June, slowing its “flywheel” strategy. This is why CEO Simon Gerovich is pursuing alternative fundraising to continue growing the company’s Bitcoin reserves. Tokyo-listed Metaplanet, known for its aggressive Bitcoin [BTC] accumulation, is facing mounting pressure after its share price continued to slide. Despite Bitcoin gaining by roughly 2% over the same period, Metaplanet’s shares have fallen by 54% since mid-June – Putting its capital-raising “flywheel” under strain. For those unaware, the “flywheel” strategy is a mechanism in which a company leverages rising stock prices to secure funding through MS warrants issued to its key investor, Evo Fund.  Metaplanet’s performance till date Needless to say, the sharp decline has made warrant exercises less attractive, squeezing liquidity and slowing the company’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy, according to a report by Bloomberg. According to Google Finance, the stock was also trading at 879 JPY at press time, down 2.22% in the last 24 hours and down 23.63% over the past month. Meanwhile, Metaplanet currently holds 18,991 BTC. It is now ranked as the seventh-largest public corporate Bitcoin holder.  The firm has also set ambitious targets, with goals to expand its holdings to 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. Metaplanet’s “flywheel” strategy loses traction Now, with its traditional “flywheel” strategy losing traction due to the recent stock decline, Gerovich is exploring alternative fundraising avenues. In fact, just recently, Metaplanet announced plans to raise approximately 130.3 billion yen ($880 million) via a public share offering in overseas markets. Additionally, shareholders will vote on 1 September regarding the issuance of up to 555 million preferred shares. These could generate as much as 555 billion yen ($3.7 billion). In an interview with Bloomberg, Gerovich described the preferred shares…

EUR/GBP holds positive ground above 0.8650 on hotter-than-expected German CPI data

EUR/GBP holds positive ground above 0.8650 on hotter-than-expected German CPI data

The post EUR/GBP holds positive ground above 0.8650 on hotter-than-expected German CPI data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/GBP strengthens to near 0.8660 in Monday’s early European session.  The French PM will hold a confidence vote on September 8, bringing back fears of recession.  Analysts expect the BoE will not cut interest rates for the remainder of the year. The EUR/GBP cross gains momentum to around 0.8660 during the early European trading hours on Monday. The hotter-than-expected preliminary reading of Germany’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report provides some support to the Euro (EUR). The European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde is scheduled to speak later on Monday.   The recent German inflation data showed that the country’s CPI rose 2.2% YoY in August, compared to 2.0% in July, exceeding the estimation of 2.1%. The HICP climbed 2.1% YoY in August versus 1.8% prior, above the consensus of 2.0%. The rise in inflation has led to uncertainty regarding future ECB actions and prompted investors to reassess the likelihood of ECB rate cuts. Nonetheless, France faces a new political crisis as Prime Minister François Bayrou is expected to lose a confidence vote. Opinion polls from Reuters showed that most French people now want new national elections, pointing to deepening dissatisfaction with politics and a risk of lasting uncertainty. This, in turn, might exert some selling pressure on the shared currency. Traders will take more cues from the flash Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) data from the Eurozone, which is due later on Tuesday.  On the other hand, traders reduce their bets on the Bank of England (BoE) interest rate cut after a series of hawkish economic data, which might support the GBP. BoE Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member Catherine Mann last week also argued in favor of holding interest rates at their current levels for a longer period, with inflationary pressures turning out to be persistent.
