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.

Bitcoin Top Fears Spark Capital Shift to Ethereum

The post Bitcoin Top Fears Spark Capital Shift to Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Bitcoin fails to hold $113K, flashing a bearish divergence similar to 2021. Long-term holders are distributing while short-term traders fuel BTC demand. Whales remain cautious, leaving ETH as the preferred rotation play. Bitcoin BTC $110 033 24h volatility: 2.7% Market cap: $2.19 T Vol. 24h: $37.39 B has once again failed to hold above the critical $113,000 mark, slipping back to $111,139 at press time, a 1.6% decline over the past 24 hours. The move has led to speculations of the leading digital asset reaching its cycle top, with signs of capital rotation into Ethereum ETH $4 363 24h volatility: 5.3% Market cap: $527.03 B Vol. 24h: $29.35 B becoming increasingly evident. Divergence Signals Echo the 2021 Cycle Top Ali Martinez highlighted a worrying technical signal on Bitcoin’s weekly chart, i.e., a bearish divergence between price and Relative Strength Index (RSI). While Bitcoin continues to print higher highs, RSI has trended lower, a classic sign that momentum is weakening even as price climbs. Bitcoin $BTC is making higher highs while RSI makes lower lows. This is the same divergence seen before the 2021 cycle top! pic.twitter.com/tR0IT25AVf — Ali (@ali_charts) August 29, 2025 Martinez noted that this setup mirrors the divergence seen just before the 2021 market top, where Bitcoin peaked around $69,000 before entering a prolonged bear cycle, also known as the crypto winter. Short-Term Optimism, Long-Term Caution Swissblock’s Altcoin Vector shared a breakdown of Bitcoin’s net position change across different market participants: Long-Term Holders (LTHs) are distributing. Short-Term Holders (STHs) are accumulating aggressively. Whales remain indecisive, not committing significant inflows to Bitcoin just yet. Exchanges show mild outflows, though not enough to signal large-scale distribution. It’s no secret that profit-taking is happening in $BTC, with much of that capital rotating into $ETH.https://t.co/UeAvwWOydf — Bitcoin Vector (@bitcoinvector) August…

A historic step: US official GDP data will be stored on 9 major public chains including Bitcoin and Ethereum

A historic step: US official GDP data will be stored on 9 major public chains including Bitcoin and Ethereum

By Frank, PANews On August 28, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it would publish real gross domestic product (GDP) data on a blockchain, starting with data from July 2025. The first six data types will include real GDP, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, and actual final sales to domestic private buyers. This data on-chain migration involves nine public blockchains and two oracle networks. For the crypto industry, this signifies that the core data of the world's most important economies is moving from traditional centralized institutions to native on-chain availability. On the one hand, this government-led data on-chain migration provides new credibility for the crypto world. On the other hand, it represents another symbolic move by the Trump administration to promote its "Crypto Capital" initiative. Two-tier architecture of "certificate storage" and "application" First, from a technical perspective, PANews will sort out the process of uploading data to the chain. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce's official statement, the core operation involves embedding the cryptographic hash of the official GDP report PDF file, known as its unique "digital fingerprint," into transactions on nine blockchains. The first blockchain networks to be adopted are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism. Through this operation, anyone can verify whether the report has been tampered with by comparing the hash value on the chain with the hash value of the official report. Furthermore, Chainlink and Python, two leading oracle platforms, were selected for this data on-chain integration. These platforms serve as middleware services between blockchain and the real world. Oracles' primary mission is to securely and reliably feed real-world external (off-chain) data to the blockchain network. GDP data contract on Ethereum Therefore, choosing Chainlink and Python can better distribute this on-chain data to the applications and ecosystems that need it. Chainlink's official website currently has a dashboard function for these six data points. However, unlike the nine public chains announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Chainlink's information shows that it currently supports ten public chain networks, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic and ZKsync. This may seem like a discrepancy, but it's not due to a synchronization error. Rather, the blockchains mentioned in the two lists play different roles in the process. Simply put, the nine public chains listed by the US Department of Commerce are original data verification networks used for evidence storage. The ten blockchain networks announced by Chainlink are the initial group of blockchains supported by its data feed service. These chains share a common characteristic: they are all active smart contract platforms (primarily Ethereum and its Layer 2 expansion network). Political “showmanship”? But it benefits on-chain products What are the actual pain points of this data chain? The real reasons behind it may come from two aspects. From the perspective of the crypto industry, this data on-chain, especially the connection to leading oracles such as Chainlink and Pyth, can provide the crypto industry with a more direct and authoritative source of GDP and other core US economic data, which is conducive to the stability of products such as stablecoins, RWAs, and prediction markets that are linked to this official data. From another perspective, the move to put data on the blockchain has a profound and complex relationship with President Trump and his administration's historical behavior of questioning the reliability of official data. During his presidency, Trump has repeatedly publicly accused unfavorable economic data (such as GDP growth or employment data) of being "manipulated" or "biased." In August, he fired Erika McEntarfer, director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over a poor jobs report and accused her of releasing "fake" data. From the perspective of the U.S. Department of Commerce, putting data like GDP on-chain seems to be a proactive response to Trump's skepticism about the data's authenticity. However, many in the U.S. media have argued that such manipulation cannot completely solve the problem of data falsification. After all, putting data on-chain only provides data evidence, but it cannot guarantee the objectivity and authenticity of the data's core source. PYTH skyrocketed, while public chain tokens remained “indifferent” Regardless of the ultimate goal and actual effect, this data chain initiative led by the US government can ultimately be summarized as a further recognition of blockchain. However, judging by the list of public chains released by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the governance tokens of these chains did not seem to experience a surge in value due to the news. Chainlink's LINK token, which is part of the partnership, did experience a rapid surge on the evening of the 28th, but subsequently fell again as the broader market weakened. The only one that was significantly stimulated by this news was Pyth. The price of its token quickly rose from around $0.11 before the news was released to a high of $0.25, with a daily increase of up to 110%, and its market value increased by more than $600 million. Judging from this divergence, the surge in PYTH tokens may be due to active capital support. The actual support for this news may not be strong. However, this may just be the beginning. Commerce Secretary Lutnick made it clear during his announcement that the department plans to expand this blockchain-based data infrastructure to all federal agencies once it finalizes all the details. This means that in the future, all types of public data from the U.S. government may be published in a similar manner. Overall, while the US data blockchain initiative may not have a strong short-term impact on the market, its long-term impact on the entire crypto industry may be greater. This marks the beginning of a new era for mainstream public blockchains as the core layer of data storage.

USD/CAD hovers around 1.3750 ahead of US PCE, Canada GDP Annualized data

USD/CAD hovers around 1.3750 ahead of US PCE, Canada GDP Annualized data

The post USD/CAD hovers around 1.3750 ahead of US PCE, Canada GDP Annualized data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD moves little as traders adopt caution ahead of economic data from both countries. Headline PCE is forecast to rise 2.6% YoY, while core PCE is expected to increase 2.9% in July. The commodity-linked CAD could strengthen on the back of rising crude Oil prices. USD/CAD halts its three-day losing streak, hovering around 1.3750 during the Asian trading hours on Friday. The pair maintains its position as the US Dollar (USD) advances as the United States (US) economy grew in the second quarter. The US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Annualized data on Thursday, showing an increase of 3.3% in the second quarter, a faster pace than the initially estimated 3.1% increase and 3.0% prior. Traders are awaiting the July Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index due later in the North American session, the last key inflation release before the Federal Reserve’s September meeting. Headline PCE is forecast to rise 2.6% year-over-year in July, while core PCE is expected to increase 2.9% over the same period. The upbeat prints may fade the ongoing dovish sentiment surrounding the US Federal Reserve (Fed) policy outlook. Moreover, Canada’s GDP data will also be eyed on Friday. The market sentiment turns cautious over Fed independence concerns, driven by the recent remarks from US Vice President JD Vance. Vance confirmed, in an interview with USA Today on Thursday, the end of the Federal Reserve’s autonomy. He noted: “I don’t think we allow bureaucrats to make decisions about monetary policy and interest rates without any input from the people that were elected to serve the American people…POTUS is much better able to make these determinations.” The USD/CAD may lose its ground as the commodity-linked Canadian Dollar (CAD) may gain ground amid improved crude Oil prices. It is worth noting that Canada…

What to know and why it matters

What to know and why it matters

The post What to know and why it matters appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through global markets Monday night by saying he would fire Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook. Trump’s decision not only put investors and economists on alert, but brought attention to the complicated innerworkings of the U.S. central bank. It also marks the latest escalation of Trump’s monthslong pressure campaign against the Fed, historically politically independent, to lower interest rates. Here are the key facts to know: Why do we follow the Federal Reserve? The Federal Reserve manages monetary policy for the United States. Its dual mandate, set out in a 1977 act of Congress that amended the Federal Reserve Act, is to maximize full employment and ensure stable prices. Because the U.S. is home to the world’s largest economy, the 111-year-old central bank also helps set the economic tone for all other developed as well as emerging markets. The Fed also supervises and regulates banks and their financial activities through a series of examinations, stress testing and corrective actions, and attempts to identify and mitigate systemic risks. A 12-person group within the Fed called the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, sets the key overnight borrowing rate, currently set at 4.25% to 4.50%. The fed funds rate is the target interest rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans to meet their reserve requirements, and helps set the cost of home mortgages, car loans and credit card debt. The FOMC holds regularly scheduled meetings at least eight times a year. Who is Lisa Cook? Cook, the first African-American woman to sit on the Fed, has served as governor since 2022, according to her bank biography. Reappointed the following year, her 15-year term is due to expire in 2038. Before joining the Fed, Cook was a professor of economics and international relations at Michigan State University. A holder of…

XAG/USD tumbles below $39.00 ahead of US PCE inflation data

The post XAG/USD tumbles below $39.00 ahead of US PCE inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Silver price attracts some sellers to around $38.80 in Friday’s early European session, down 0.52% on the day.  US GDP expanded more than previously estimated in Q2.  Mounting bets of a Fed rate cut might cap Silver’s downside.  The Silver price (XAG/USD) slumps to near $38.80 during the early European trading hours on Friday. The white metal edges lower amid some profit-taking and a stronger US Dollar (USD). Traders brace for the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index report for July later on Friday for fresh impetus.  The second estimate for US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the second quarter (Q2) of 2025 showed an annualized growth rate of 3.3%, a stronger figure than initially estimated, according to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

This, in turn, might cap the downside for the Silver price. New York Fed President John Williams said on Wednesday that it is likely interest rates can fall at some point, but policymakers will need to see the upcoming data to decide if it is appropriate to make a cut next month. Lower interest rates could reduce the opportunity cost of holding Silver, supporting the non-yielding white metal.  Silver FAQs Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods.
