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.

WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades

WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades

The post WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI steadies as fading prospects for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal support the risk premium. Traders turn cautious amid Russian airstrikes near the EU border and Ukrainian strikes on a Russian Oil refinery. US increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, imposing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil price holds ground after two days of gains, trading around $63.40 during the Asian hours on Friday. Crude Oil prices were largely unchanged, with waning hopes for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal underpinning the risk premium demanded by Oil sellers. Reuters cited analysts at ING, saying in a client note on Friday, “It’s proving difficult to set up a Putin-Zelenskiy summit, while discussions around potential security guarantees face obstacles,” “The less likely a ceasefire looks, the more likely the risk of tougher (US) sanctions” on Russia. The market sentiment remains cautious after reports of Russian airstrikes near the European Union (EU) border and Ukrainian attacks on a Russian Oil refinery. Moscow has demanded major concessions, but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected giving up any territory. Oil prices may regain their ground as the United States (US) increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, announcing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. Crude accounts for nearly 35% of India’s imports. The demand for Oil could face challenges amid easing odds of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September. The higher borrowing cost negatively impacts the economic activities in the United States, the world’s largest economy, which affects Oil requirements. The CME FedWatch tool indicates that the Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The rate cut likelihood reduced following the strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI)…

Gold slides as Fed rate cut doubts lift USD ahead of Powell’s speech

Gold slides as Fed rate cut doubts lift USD ahead of Powell’s speech

The post Gold slides as Fed rate cut doubts lift USD ahead of Powell’s speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold drifts lower for the second straight day as reduced Fed rate cut bets underpin the USD. The cautious market mood does little to lend any support to the safe-haven precious metal. Traders keenly await Fed Chair Powell’s speech for rate-cut cues and a meaningful impetus. Gold (XAU/USD) extends the steady intraday descent through the early European session on Friday and retests the overnight swing low, around the $3,326-3,325 region in the last hour. The US Dollar (USD) prolongs its weekly uptrend and climbs to its highest level since August 5 amid diminishing odds for a more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, in turn, is seen as a key factor driving flows away from the non-yielding yellow metal. The USD bulls, however, opt to wait for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for more cues about the policy outlook and before placing fresh bets. This, however, does little to lend any support to the Gold price. Even the cautious market mood fails to revive demand for the safe-haven commodity. This, in turn, favors the XAU/USD bears, though a sustained break below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is needed before positioning for any further losses. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price bears retain control amid sustained USD buying ahead of Powell Traders pared their bets for a more aggressive policy easing by the US Federal Reserve following last week’s release of the hot US Producer Price Index (PPI), which pointed to signs of a gain of momentum in inflationary pressures. Moreover, Kansas City Fed president Jeffrey Schmid said on Thursday, described the central bank’s current monetary policy stance as “modestly restrictive” and sounded cautious about a September rate cut. Separately, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said that it is important to maintain a modestly restrictive policy to…

Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate-hike uncertainty

Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate-hike uncertainty

The post Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate-hike uncertainty appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Japanese Yen struggles to lure buyers despite slightly higher-than-expected inflation figures. The uncertainty over the likely timing of the next BoJ rate hike continues to undermine the JPY. The USD bulls retain control ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech and support the USD/JPY pair. The Japanese Yen (JPY) continues losing ground against a broadly firmer US Dollar (USD) for the second straight day and drops to a three-week low during the Asian session on Friday. The uncertainty over the likely timing of the next interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) continues to undermine the JPY, which fails to gain any respite from Japan’s consumer inflation figures. In fact, Japan’s National Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicated that the underlying inflation remained sticky and backed the case for further policy normalization by the BoJ. Meanwhile, the US Dollar (USD) retains its positive bias and climbs to the highest level since August 6 amid diminishing odds for a more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This provides an additional boost to the USD/JPY pair and contributes to the intraday positive move beyond mid-147.00s. The fundamental backdrop suggests that the path of least resistance for the pair is to the upside. Traders, however, might refrain from placing fresh bets and opt to wait for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate hike uncertainty, ahead of Powell’s speech Japan’s Statistics Bureau reported this Friday that the National Consumer Price Index (CPI) cooled to the 3.1% YoY rate in July from 3.1% in the previous month. Further details revealed that the core gauge, which strips out costs for fresh food, eased from 3.3% in June to 3.1%, marking its lowest level since November 2024. The latter, however, was slightly higher…

USD/CHF refreshes weekly high near 0.8100 as US Dollar trades firmly

USD/CHF refreshes weekly high near 0.8100 as US Dollar trades firmly

The post USD/CHF refreshes weekly high near 0.8100 as US Dollar trades firmly appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF jumps to near 0.8100 as the US Dollar advances ahead of Fed Powell’s speech. Investors expect Fed Powell to reiterate a “wait and see” approach on the interest rate outlook. Fed Schmid signals no rush for interest rate cuts. The USD/CHF pair posts a fresh weekly high near 0.8100 during the late Asian session on Friday. The Swiss Franc pair advances as the US Dollar (USD) trades firmly ahead of Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole (JH) Symposium at 14:00 GMT. During the press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, posts a fresh 10-day high near 98.85. The US Dollar has attracted significant bids as financial market participants expect Fed Chair Powell to maintain his argument that interest rates should remain at their current levels until the central bank gets clarity on the impact of tariffs on inflation and the economy. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes of the July policy meeting also showed on Wednesday that a majority of members, including Jerome Powell, has stated that the central bank needs time to gain clarity on the “magnitude and persistence of higher tariffs’ effects on inflation”. On Thursday, Kansas City Fed Bank President Jeffrey Schmid stated that there is no rush for interest rate cuts as inflation is still above the central bank’s target of 2%. On the Swiss Franc (CHF) front, investors look for fresh cues about whether the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will push interest rates into a negative territory to uplift inflationary pressures. Inflation in the Swiss region grew at an annual pace of 0.2% in July. Economic Indicator Fed’s Chair Powell speech Jerome H. Powell took office as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System…

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

The post Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FanDuel just inked a deal with CME Group to enter the predictions market. Flutter Entertainment (NASDAQ:FLUT) stock was up about 2% in early trading after the company announced a new partnership for its FanDuel property that will launch it into the growing predictions market. FanDuel is the largest online sports betting site, with some 4.5 million active users. With this new deal with derivatives marketplace CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), FanDuel will develop new event-based contracts that allow users to predict the outcomes in financial markets. Customers will be able to make predictions on a wide range of market questions with simple “yes” or “no” answers for as little as $1 per chance. It is essentially akin to betting on the outcome, but FanDuel and CME call it trading event-based contracts. According to FanDuel, the prediction will focus on benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, prices of oil and gas, gold, cryptocurrencies, and key economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). An example of a question might be, Will the S&P 500 finish above X by X date? Or will the Fed lower interest rates at its next meeting? “Individual investors are increasingly sophisticated and continually pursuing new financial opportunities,” Terry Duffy, CME group chairman and CEO, said. “To meet this demand, we have created this innovative partnership, which will operate a non-clearing FCM. Together, our event-based products will appeal to the growing public interest in markets, and we will provide education to attract a new generation of potential traders not active in derivatives today.” Additional revenue stream for FanDuel and Flutter Through this new initiative, a first for the online sports betting space, CME and FanDuel will form a new joint venture. In this joint venture, they will operate a non-clearing futures…

Resumes upward journey above 100-day EMA near 95.50

Resumes upward journey above 100-day EMA near 95.50

The post Resumes upward journey above 100-day EMA near 95.50 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/JPY edges higher to around 95.45 in Friday’s early European session, adding 0.24% on the day.  Positive outlook of the cross prevails above the 100-day EMA, but further consolidation cannot be ruled out in the near term. The immediate resistance level is seen in the 96.00-96.10 zone; the initial support level is located at 95.10. The AUD/JPY cross attracts some buyers to around 95.45 during the early European session on Friday. The uncertainty over the likely timing of the next interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) continues to drag the Japanese Yen (JPY) lower and acts as a tailwind for the cross.  Technically, AUD/JPY resumes its upward bias as the price crosses above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily chart. However, further consolidation cannot be ruled out, with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering around the midline. This suggests neutral momentum in the near term.  The first upside target to watch for the cross is seen in the 96.00-96.10 region, the psychological level and the high of August 19. Extended gains could see a rally to 96.75, the high of August 13. Further north, the next hurdle is located at 97.10, the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band.  On the other hand, any follow-through selling below the 100-day EMA of 95.10 could see a drop to 94.40, the low of August 20. Sustained trading below the mentioned level could expose 93.97, the low of July 1. The additional downside filter to watch is 93.36, the low of June 16.  AUD/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 the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese…

USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech

USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech

The post USD/CAD hits fresh three-month highs above 1.3900, focus on Fed Powell’s speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD has reached its three-month high at 1.3915 on Friday. CME FedWatch Tool indicates that markets are pricing a 74% chance of a September rate cut, against 82% on Wednesday. Canada’s Industrial Product Price Index climbed 0.7% in July, exceeding expectations of a 0.3% rise, after a 0.5% gain prior. USD/CAD remains stronger for the fourth successive session, reaching a three-month high at 1.3915 during the Asian hours on Friday. The pair appreciates as the US Dollar (USD) gains ground amid easing odds of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September. Traders await the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming, which could offer fresh clues on the September policy outlook. According to the CME FedWatch tool, Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The rate cut likelihood reduced following the strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and rising Initial Jobless Claims data from the United States (US). The preliminary S&P Global US Composite PMI inched higher to 55.4 in August, from 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 from 49.8 prior, surpassing the market consensus of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 55.4 from 55.7 previous reading, but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Moreover, US Initial Jobless Claims rose to 235K for the previous week, an eight-week high and above the consensus estimate of 225K, suggesting some softening in labor market conditions. The upside of the USD/CAD pair could be restrained as the Canadian Dollar (CAD) may receive support amid a decrease in the scope for further Bank of Canada (BoC) rate cuts. Canada’s Industrial Product Price rose 0.7% month-over-month in July, following a 0.5% gain in June and surpassing market expectations of…
