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.

AUD/NZD trades near 1.1100 after pulling back from six-month highs

AUD/NZD trades near 1.1100 after pulling back from six-month highs

The post AUD/NZD trades near 1.1100 after pulling back from six-month highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/NZD pulled back from a six-month high at 1.1131, reached on Thursday. Australia’s Private Capital Expenditure climbed 0.2% in Q2, against the expected 0.7% rise. The New Zealand Dollar struggles as the RBNZ officials indicated further reductions in the coming months. AUD/NZD retreats after reaching a six-month high at 1.1131, trading around 1.1110 during the Asian hours on Thursday. However, the downside of the currency cross could be restrained as the Australian Dollar (AUD) gains ground following the release of Australia’s Private Capital Expenditure. Australia’s Private Capital Expenditure rose 0.2% in the second quarter, from the previous decline of 0.1% but fell short of the expected 0.7% increase. The AUD/USD holds ground as the US Dollar (USD) struggles over US Federal Reserve (Fed) concerns. Additionally, the AUD is also supported by hotter-than-expected Australian inflation data, which reduces expectations of a Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate cut. Australia’s Monthly Consumer Price Index jumped by 2.8% year-over-year in July, surpassing a 1.9% increase prior and 2.3% expected growth. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Minutes of its August monetary policy meeting suggested that board members agreed that some further reduction in the cash rate is likely to be needed in the coming year. The AUD/NZD cross may regain its ground as the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) continues to struggle after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) cut its policy rate last week. The RBNZ officials indicated further reductions in the coming months as policymakers warned of domestic and global headwinds to growth. RBNZ Governor Christian Hawkesby noted that the policy outlook is guided by data, but emphasized that if businesses and consumers stay cautious and require additional support, it could warrant further measures.

Positive view prevails above 171.00, eyes on French politics

Positive view prevails above 171.00, eyes on French politics

The post Positive view prevails above 171.00, eyes on French politics  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/JPY drifts lower to near 171.25 in Thursday’s early European session. Positive view of the cross prevails above the 100-day EMA, but bearish RSI indicator warrants caution for bulls.  The immediate resistance level emerges at 172.67; the first support level to watch is 170.60. The EUR/JPY cross loses momentum to around 171.25 during the early European session on Thursday. The Euro (EUR) weakens against the Japanese Yen (JPY) amid fears of a French political crisis. France is braced for a new political crisis as the minority government of François Bayrou appears almost certain to be toppled in a confidence vote next month, amid deep political divisions over an unpopular austerity budget and debt-reduction plan.  Technically, the constructive outlook of EUR/GBP remains in place as the cross is well-supported above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily chart. Nonetheless, further consolidation or temporary sell-off cannot be ruled out as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands below the midline near 46.65, displaying bearish momentum in the near term.  On the bright side, the first upside barrier emerges at 172.67, the high of August 25. Sustained trading above this level could pick up more momentum and aim for 173.00, representing the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band and a round figure. Further north, the next resistance level is seen at 173.90, the high of July 28.  In the bearish case, the lower limit of the Bollinger Band of 170.60 acts as an initial support level for EUR/JPY. A breach of this level could drag the cross toward the 170.00 psychological level. The additional downside filter to watch is 169.82, the low of August 5.  EUR/JPY daily chart Japanese Yen FAQs The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of…

Experienced Analyst Timothy Peterson Warned: “Even if the FED Cuts Interest Rates, Problems Won’t Be Solved. If You Want to Survive, Bitcoin and…”

The post Experienced Analyst Timothy Peterson Warned: “Even if the FED Cuts Interest Rates, Problems Won’t Be Solved. If You Want to Survive, Bitcoin and…” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pro-Bitcoin (BTC) analyst Timothy Peterson made striking assessments about the Fed’s monetary policy and market outlook. Peterson argued that keeping interest rates at current levels would not solve structural problems but would instead make the economy suffer even more. According to Peterson, the Leading Economic Index (LEI) has declined by 5% or more before every recession in the last 50 years, and the Fed has cut interest rates each time. However, despite the LEI experiencing a historic decline between 2022 and 2025, the Fed has still not cut interest rates. The analyst described this as anomalous, stating, “There’s a recession this cycle, but the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) hasn’t officially declared it.” Peterson stated that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 caused disruptions in global trade and supply chains, creating supply shocks for energy, food, and critical minerals. The analyst emphasized that these structural problems cannot be solved by high interest rates, commenting, “As long as interest rates remain high, growth will slow further, unemployment will rise, and consumption will be suppressed.” Peterson, claiming that the Fed’s fight against inflation will fail, said, “The root cause of inflation is supply constraints. The Fed’s tools cannot solve this problem. Furthermore, consumers are in debt, income growth is slow, and food prices remain high.” The analyst also said stock markets weren’t as strong as expected. “The majority of the rise in the S&P 500 is coming from just a few tech companies,” Peterson said. “This suggests it’s not a broad-based rally.” Peterson argued that in current conditions, investors should turn to what he describes as “hard assets” to protect their portfolios: “The Fed can’t fix structural problems. Global supply chains are broken, the government is overspending. Inflation is inevitable. Gold and Bitcoin must be at the core of your portfolio…

EUR/USD ticks up to near 1.1650, French risks might cap upside

EUR/USD ticks up to near 1.1650, French risks might cap upside

The post EUR/USD ticks up to near 1.1650, French risks might cap upside appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD edges up to near 1.1650 as the US Dollar faces selling pressure. Fed’s Williams supported the need to look at economic data before getting confident on interest rate cuts in September. Opposition parties in France are unlikely to support PM Bayrou’s confidence vote. The EUR/USD pair edges higher to near 1.1650 during the Asian trading session on Thursday. The major currency pair gains marginally as the US Dollar (USD) faces selling pressure, following dovish remarks on interest rates from New York Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank President John Williams in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday. During the press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.12% lower to near 98.00. On Wednesday, Fed’s Williams argued in favor of interest rate cuts, but didn’t express confidence over the same for the September policy meeting, citing that officials need to see economic data during the time. “Risks are more in balance. We are going to just have to see how the data plays out,” Williams said. Meanwhile, traders see an 87% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in the September policy meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool. In the Eurozone, growing risks of a snap election in the French economy have capped the upside in the Euro (EUR). Earlier this week, France Prime Minister (PM) François Bayrou called for a confidence vote on September 8 over his €44 billion budget package. In response, opposition parties are not expected to support Bayrou’s confidence vote, a move that could lead to a snap election in the French economy. On the economic front, investors await preliminary inflation data for August from major economies of the Eurozone, which will be published on Friday.   Euro FAQs The Euro is the currency for the 19…

US Dollar Index drops to near 98.00 amid caution ahead of US PCE inflation data

US Dollar Index drops to near 98.00 amid caution ahead of US PCE inflation data

The post US Dollar Index drops to near 98.00 amid caution ahead of US PCE inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar Index faces slight selling pressure ahead of the US PCE inflation data for July on Friday. Traders are confident that the Fed will cut interest rates in the September policy meeting. Fed’s Williams argued that officials need to see economic data to decide on interest rates in September. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.12% lower to near 98.00 during the Asian trading session on Thursday. The US Dollar (USD) faces slight selling pressure as investors turn cautious ahead of the United States (US) Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (PCE) data for July, which is scheduled for Friday. Economists expect the US core PCE inflation, which is closely tracked by Federal Reserve (Fed) officials as it strips off volatile items such as food and energy, to have risen at a faster pace of 2.9% on year against 2.8% in June. Month-on-month inflation is estimated to have grown steadily by 0.3%. Investors will closely monitor the inflation data as it will influence market expectations for the Fed’s monetary policy outlook. According to the CME FedWatch tool, there is an 87% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in the September monetary policy meeting. On Wednesday, New York Fed Bank President John Williams stated in an interview with CNBC that officials need to see economic data to decide whether an interest rate cut is appropriate in the September policy meeting. “Risks are more in balance. We are going to just have to see how the data plays out,” Williams said. Meanwhile, the broader outlook of the US Dollar has remained under threat as US President Donald Trump has floated the termination letter of Fed Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage allegations, which has been seen as a serious attack on…

GBP/USD maintains position around 1.3500 ahead of Q2 US GDP Annualized

GBP/USD maintains position around 1.3500 ahead of Q2 US GDP Annualized

The post GBP/USD maintains position around 1.3500 ahead of Q2 US GDP Annualized appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. GBP/USD may regain its ground amid rising concerns over Fed independence. Fed Governor Cook’s exit could increase the likelihood of interest rate cuts. CBI Retail Sales edged up to -32 in August from -34 in July, beating expectations of -33. GBP/USD remains steady after two days of gains, trading around 1.3500 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The pair may further appreciate as the US Dollar (USD) struggles amid rising concerns over the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) independence. Traders await the Q2 US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Annualized due later in the day. Focus will shift toward July Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge. US President Donald Trump announced early Tuesday that he was removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook from her position on the Fed’s board of directors. He also said that he was ready for a legal fight with Cook over falsified mortgage documents. The dismissal of Fed Governor Cook could increase the likelihood of heavy interest rate cuts, given Trump’s ongoing pressure on the central bank to reduce borrowing costs. Traders are now pricing in more than 88% odds for a cut of at least a quarter-point at the Fed’s September meeting, up from 82% the previous week, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The GBP/USD pair moves little following the release of the Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) Retail Sales, which improved slightly to -32 in August from -34 in July, better than the expected -33 reading. The reading suggests that retail sales volumes declined for the 11th successive month. The CBI noted that while companies continue to face elevated costs, they are raising prices at a slower pace than earlier in the summer, a trend that keeps the Bank of England cautious about service inflation. Meanwhile, weak demand and rising…

Google Cloud Announces Plans to Launch Its Own Cryptocurrency Network: But There’s Significant Criticism

Google Cloud Announces Plans to Launch Its Own Cryptocurrency Network: But There’s Significant Criticism

The post Google Cloud Announces Plans to Launch Its Own Cryptocurrency Network: But There’s Significant Criticism appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google Cloud has announced Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL), a new Layer-1 (L1) blockchain platform that aims to simplify global payments and asset reconciliation. GCUL simplifies the management of commercial bank money, enabling transfers via distributed ledger technology. The platform is currently in a private testnet phase, and the company launched a pilot project for tokenized assets with CME earlier this year. While Rich Widmann, Google Cloud’s head of Web3 strategy, stated that GCUL is a Layer 1 blockchain, some in the community have expressed the view that the structure is not fully decentralized and permissionless, but more like a consortium chain. The company argued that instead of reinventing money, infrastructure should be redesigned: “The path to a global, 24/7, multi-currency, and programmable payments system isn’t about reinventing money, but about reimagining the infrastructure. GCUL will enable the next generation of payments while preserving the stability and regulatory clarity advantages of the current financial system.” *This is not investment advice.

Altcoin Season Index Surges to 46: What This Means for Your Portfolio

Altcoin Season Index Surges to 46: What This Means for Your Portfolio

BitcoinWorld Altcoin Season Index Surges to 46: What This Means for Your Portfolio The crypto world is buzzing with fresh signals as CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index recently climbed one point to 46. This upward movement sparks important conversations among investors and enthusiasts alike, hinting at potential shifts in market dynamics. For many, this rise suggests a growing appetite for cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, opening new avenues for portfolio growth. Understanding the Altcoin Season Index: What Does 46 Mean? The Altcoin Season Index is a crucial metric that helps gauge the overall performance of altcoins compared to Bitcoin. It signals an official altcoin season when a significant threshold is met: 75% of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens, must have outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. A score closer to 100 on the Altcoin Season Index suggests a stronger and more pronounced altcoin season. Currently sitting at 46, the index indicates that while we are not yet in a full-blown altcoin season, momentum is building. This reading shows that a notable portion of altcoins are indeed outperforming Bitcoin, suggesting a shift in investor focus and capital allocation. This gradual increase often precedes more significant movements, making it a key indicator for savvy traders. Is an Altcoin Season Truly Approaching? The one-point rise in the Altcoin Season Index to 46 is more than just a number; it’s a signal. While the 75% benchmark for an official altcoin season remains a distance away, this steady increase demonstrates growing confidence and interest in alternative cryptocurrencies. This recent shift in the Altcoin Season Index indicates increasing investor confidence in various altcoins, suggesting that many are seeing better returns than Bitcoin over the short term. What should you watch for as the index continues to evolve? Consistent Outperformance: Look for a sustained trend where a majority of top altcoins continue to surpass Bitcoin’s gains. Increased Trading Volume: Higher trading volumes in altcoin markets often accompany rising prices. New Project Excitement: Innovations and new projects in the altcoin space can attract fresh capital. Navigating Potential Altcoin Opportunities As the Altcoin Season Index inches higher, savvy investors are already looking at potential gains. However, navigating the altcoin market requires careful consideration and a strategic approach. It’s not simply about picking any altcoin; rather, it involves understanding market trends and individual project fundamentals. Here are some actionable insights to consider: Diversify Your Portfolio: Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, spread your investments across several promising altcoins. Do Your Research: Investigate the utility, team, and technology behind each altcoin. Strong fundamentals are key to long-term success. Risk Management: Altcoins can be highly volatile. Only invest what you can afford to lose and consider setting stop-loss orders. Stay Informed: Keep a close eye on market news, technological developments, and, of course, the Altcoin Season Index itself. Important Considerations and Risks While the rising Altcoin Season Index is exciting, it’s crucial to remember that the crypto market remains highly volatile. Altcoins, especially those with smaller market caps, can experience dramatic price swings. This volatility presents both significant opportunities for profit and substantial risks of loss. Always conduct thorough due diligence and understand the unique risks associated with each investment. Market sentiment can change rapidly, influenced by global economic factors, regulatory news, and even social media trends. Therefore, a rising index does not guarantee continued upward movement, nor does it eliminate the potential for sudden corrections. A balanced approach, combining optimism with cautious risk assessment, is always recommended. Conclusion: The Evolving Crypto Landscape The climb in the Altcoin Season Index to 46 serves as a compelling indicator of shifting dynamics within the cryptocurrency market. While it doesn’t declare an immediate altcoin season, it certainly signals growing momentum and renewed interest in altcoins. This presents both exciting opportunities and inherent risks for investors. By staying informed, conducting thorough research, and managing risk effectively, you can better navigate this evolving landscape and potentially capitalize on the burgeoning altcoin market. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) What is the Altcoin Season Index? The Altcoin Season Index measures the percentage of the top 100 altcoins (excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens) that have outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. A score closer to 100 indicates a stronger altcoin season. What does a score of 46 mean for the Altcoin Season Index? A score of 46 means that 46% of the top 100 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the last 90 days. While not yet an official altcoin season (which requires 75%), it indicates growing momentum and a positive trend for altcoins. How is an Altcoin Season officially declared? An altcoin season is officially declared when the Altcoin Season Index reaches 75. This signifies that 75% or more of the top 100 altcoins have surpassed Bitcoin’s performance over a three-month period. What should investors do during a potential Altcoin Season? Investors should conduct thorough research on individual altcoins, consider diversifying their portfolios, manage risk with appropriate strategies, and stay updated on market trends and news. Are there risks involved with altcoins, even if the index is rising? Yes, altcoins are generally more volatile than Bitcoin. Even with a rising Altcoin Season Index, market conditions can change rapidly, and investments carry inherent risks. Always invest responsibly. Share this valuable insight with your network! If you found this article on the Altcoin Season Index helpful, please share it on your social media platforms to help others understand these crucial market trends.
