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.

EUR/GBP posts modest losses near 0.8650 ahead of German GDP release

EUR/GBP posts modest losses near 0.8650 ahead of German GDP release

The post EUR/GBP posts modest losses near 0.8650 ahead of German GDP release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/GBP weakens to around 0.8650 in Friday’s early European session. Hotter-than-expected UK July inflation data and upbeat UK PMI diminish odds of BoE rate reductions this year. Eurozone and German Composite PMI data came in stronger than expected in August.  The EUR/GBP cross trades with mild losses near 0.8650 during the early European session on Friday. The expectations that the Bank of England (BoE) might hesitate to cut interest rates in the remainder of the year support the Pound Sterling (GBP) against the Euro (EUR). The release of Germany’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter (Q2) will be published later on Friday. UK inflation rose again in July to a hotter-than-expected 3.8% amid higher food prices and travel costs, prompting the expectation that the Bank of England (BoE) will delay further interest rate cuts. Furthermore, the upbeat preliminary UK S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data for August contribute to the GBP’s upside. The report showed that the Composite PMI rose at a faster pace to 53.0 in August from the previous reading of 51.5, above the consensus of 51.6. The BoE cut the interest rates from 4.25% to 4.0% earlier this month as the UK central bank resumed what it describes as a “gradual and careful” approach to monetary easing. A quarter-point cut is not fully priced in until March 2026. On the Euro front, the HCOB PMI data from Germany and the Eurozone showed economic resilience in August, complicating the European Central Bank’s (ECB) plans for further rate cuts this year. Germany’s Composite PMI rose to 50.9 in August, driven by improvements in manufacturing output and new orders. This figure registered the highest level since March.  The Eurozone Composite PMI improved to 51.1 in August versus 50.9 prior. These reports may prompt the ECB to adopt a more cautious stance on…

Euro weakens below 1.1600, all eyes on Jackson Hole Symposium

Euro weakens below 1.1600, all eyes on Jackson Hole Symposium

The post Euro weakens below 1.1600, all eyes on Jackson Hole Symposium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD softens to near 1.1595 in Friday’s Asian session, losing 0.10% on the day.  Fed’s Powell speech could offer some insight on the near-term path for interest rates. Eurozone business activity accelerated in August.  The EUR/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 1.1595 during the Asian trading hours on Friday, pressured by a rebound in the US Dollar (USD). The German Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter (Q2) is due later on Friday. The attention will shift to the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech, with traders paring back wagers on an imminent interest-rate cut. The soft US July jobs report and big downward revisions to hiring in May and June bolstered hopes of a rate reduction in the Fed September meeting. However, cautious comments from Fed officials and US economic data flashing inflationary risks have tempered those expectations and lifted the Greenback. Still, traders are now pricing in nearly a 75% odds of a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut next month, down from 92% a week earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole economic conference on Friday could offer some hints as to whether the US central bank will cut interest rates in September. Policymakers will get another month’s data on inflation and employment before deciding on interest rates, so Powell may state that he and his colleagues are leaving their options open. A dovish tilt could undermine the USD and create a tailwind for the EUR/USD pair in the near term. Across the pond, the flash HCOB PMI showed that business activity in August showed an improvement in Eurozone. The HCOB Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.5 in August from 49.8 in July. The figure came in better than the estimations of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 50.7 in…

US Dollar Index holds steady above 98.50, Jackson Hole Symposium in focus

US Dollar Index holds steady above 98.50, Jackson Hole Symposium in focus

The post US Dollar Index holds steady above 98.50, Jackson Hole Symposium in focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Dollar Index trades flat near 98.65 in Friday’s Asian session. US Composite PMI improved in August, led by a resurgent manufacturing sector.  Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech will be the highlight later on Friday.  The US Dollar Index (DXY), an index of the value of the US Dollar (USD) measured against a basket of six world currencies, trades on a flat note around 98.65 during the early Asian trading hours on Friday. Traders await the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech later on Friday, with traders paring back wagers on an imminent interest-rate cut. Data released by S&P Global on Thursday showed that the US Composite PMI climbed to 55.4 in August, versus 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 in August from 49.8 in July. This figure came in stronger than the expectation of 49.5. Finally, the Services PMI declined to 55.4 in August from 55.7 in the previous reading but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said late Thursday that September’s Fed meeting remains open for action. Goolsbee added that the US central bank has been getting mixed messages on the economy, and the Fed still has time to take more data. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack noted that it’s important to maintain a modestly restrictive policy to lower inflation, adding that he does not see an imminent case for cutting rates based on current data. Stronger US economic data and a more hawkish tone from Fed officials could provide some support to the DXY. Markets are now pricing in nearly a 70% chance of a September rate cut, down from 90% a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.  The attention will shift to the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium later on Friday for clues on the policy outlook.

Experienced Crypto Analyst Reveals Altcoin That Long-Term Whales Are Selling and Expecting a Correction

The post Experienced Crypto Analyst Reveals Altcoin That Long-Term Whales Are Selling and Expecting a Correction appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency analyst Boris Vest has published a remarkable market analysis for Uniswap (UNI). According to Vest, UNI has been fluctuating within a wide price range for an extended period, exhibiting deep movements since its all-time high (ATH) in 2021. The current price is $10.24. According to the analysis, as long positions continue to accumulate, significant liquidation clusters have formed below the price. Vest’s critical levels are: $13.50 – Short liquidation zone $8.00 – Long liquidation zone Vest notes that buying pressure continues, but the price is struggling to move upward. He says this is due to large whales offloading positions with limit orders. According to the analyst: The active supply of long-term investors increased sharply along with the price increase. This indicates that long-term investors are selling heavily and the market has reached a saturation point. Meanwhile, short-term investors have re-entered the market at the local peak. According to Vest, the market is now undergoing a stress test for short-term investors, and a normal correction is expected. *This is not investment advice.

Judge Decides: Developers of This Altcoin Recover Millions of Dollars – Price Jumps

The post Judge Decides: Developers of This Altcoin Recover Millions of Dollars – Price Jumps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A US federal judge has lifted a freeze on assets linked to the controversial Libra token, which was launched in February and promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei. The decision stated that there was no risk of escape due to the defendants’ compliance with the court process. In June, as part of a lawsuit filed by plaintiffs seeking more than $100 million in damages, a total of $57.6 million in USDC was frozen in two wallets controlled by Hayden Davis, CEO of venture capital firm Kelsier Labs LLC, and Ben Chow, founder of decentralized exchange Meteora. U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon stated that the defendants had not exhibited “illegal behavior” and were complying with court process, stating: “It is clear that damages can be compensated by monetary compensation. The plaintiffs have not presented sufficient evidence to show irreparable harm.” Following the decision, the hold on $57.6 million worth of USDC was lifted. These assets remain in the two initially frozen wallets: one with a balance of $13.06 million and the other with a balance of $44.59 million. Following the decision, the price of LIBRA rose 73%. However, the token is still down 99.5% from its all-time high of $3.28 on February 15, 2025. *This is not investment advice.
