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.

Canadian Dollar freezes in place as Loonie fails to bounce back

Canadian Dollar freezes in place as Loonie fails to bounce back

The post Canadian Dollar freezes in place as Loonie fails to bounce back appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Canadian Dollar found little room to move on Wednesday. The Loonie is grappling with the latest inflation data out of Canada. Central bank policy statements and US data to drive markets through the rest of the week. The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is struggling to find momentum heading through the midweek. The Loonie took a fresh hit after Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation eased slightly, but otherwise gave no clear direction for the Bank of Canada (BoC) to operate with. The remainder of the trading week will be fully focused on US economic data and Fed policymaker speeches. US Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) survey results for August will be released on Thursday, and the annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium also kicks off on the same day. However, investors will be looking ahead to Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s appearance at Jackson Hole on Friday. Daily digest market movers: Canadian Dollar treads water after Loonie traders left nonplussed by key Canadian data The Canadian Dollar remains stuck near familiar levels as Loonie momentum runs out of gas. Defensive CAD positioning is holding the Loonie in place against the US Dollar for now. The latest Fed Meeting Minutes revealed Fed policymakers may not be as close to rate cuts as many are hoping. Despite the surprisingly hawkish tilt to the last Fed meeting, the minutes do pre-date the last round of sour US hiring data, muting any immediate impact from hawkish overtones. US PMI data due on Thursday is expected to show a further tempering of business operator sentiment. USD/CAD price forecast USD/CAD got pushed back into multi-week highs, and the pair is now poised to close higher for the second week in a row if CAD weakness holds through the end of the week. USD/CAD is inching back toward…

EUR/USD holds near 1.1660 as Fed Minutes clash with Trump’s pressure

EUR/USD holds near 1.1660 as Fed Minutes clash with Trump’s pressure

The post EUR/USD holds near 1.1660 as Fed Minutes clash with Trump’s pressure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD retreats from daily highs of 1.1672 after Fed Minutes release. Fed Minutes: Officials see inflation risk outweighing employment, hinting rates not far above neutral. Breaking news: Trump urges Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign following mortgage fraud allegations. EUR/USD advances steadily during the North American session as the Federal Reserve (Fed) unveils its latest Meeting Minutes. At the time of writing, the pair trades at around 1.1660 and clings to minimal gains of 0.13%. Hawkish Fed Minutes caps Euro’s advance; Trump presses Fed governor to resign amid fraud probe The Minutes of the Fed’s August meeting showed that the majority of the board “saw inflation risk outweighing employment risk,” and that several officials said, “that the current rate may not be far above neutral.” This contradicts what US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argued in a Bloomberg interview, that interest rates should be lower by 150 to 175 basis points (bps). After the release of Minutes, the EUR/USD retreated from around daily highs of 1.1672 to 1.1660, which seems to be a hawkish reaction by market participants. Meanwhile, the White House continues to pressure Fed officials to reduce interest rates, as breaking news revealed that “Trump presses Fed’s Cook to quit after mortgage fraud allegation.” Earlier, a Bloomberg article revealed that the Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte alleged that Fed Governor Lisa Cook “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud under the criminal statute.” Across the pond, July’s inflation in the Eurozone remained steady at around the European Central Bank’s (ECB) 2% target. Daily digest market movers: EUR/USD clings to gains on soft US Dollar Digging deeper into the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting Minutes, several officials noted concerns about high asset valuations and that “Many (officials) noted…

Crucial U.S. Jobless Claims Surge To 235K: What It Means

Crucial U.S. Jobless Claims Surge To 235K: What It Means

The post Crucial U.S. Jobless Claims Surge To 235K: What It Means appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The pulse of the U.S. economy often resonates across global markets, and the latest report on U.S. jobless claims has certainly sent a noticeable ripple. Unexpectedly, these claims rose last week, surpassing forecasts and prompting economists and investors to re-evaluate the health of the labor market. For those deeply engaged with financial markets, especially the dynamic cryptocurrency space, understanding this crucial economic indicator is paramount. It offers insights into potential shifts in monetary policy and broader economic sentiment. Understanding the Latest U.S. Jobless Claims Data Last week, the U.S. Department of Labor released figures that caught many by surprise: initial U.S. jobless claims reached 235,000. This number notably exceeded economists’ consensus forecast of 226,000, marking the highest level for initial claims since October 2023. This uptick signals a potential softening in the nation’s previously robust employment picture. What are jobless claims? These represent applications for unemployment benefits. They act as a real-time, forward-looking indicator of layoffs and the overall health of the job market. Why is this rise significant? An increase in claims, particularly when it surpasses expectations, suggests that more individuals are losing their jobs than anticipated. This can be an early sign of a cooling economy. Historical Context: For an extended period, U.S. jobless claims remained at historically low levels, reflecting a remarkably tight labor market. This recent increase deviates from that sustained trend, warranting careful observation. While a single week’s data point does not establish a definitive long-term trend, it provides a vital snapshot. Analysts meticulously track these numbers for any indication of economic weakness or strength, given their direct influence on consumer confidence, spending patterns, and overall economic momentum. Why Do Rising U.S. Jobless Claims Matter to Markets? An increase in U.S. jobless claims can trigger a series of economic consequences that impact various sectors, including…

Oil extends gains into second day as Asian markets post mixed results

Oil extends gains into second day as Asian markets post mixed results

The post Oil extends gains into second day as Asian markets post mixed results appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Asian markets remained mixed and European stocks slipped on Thursday, with investors bracing for fresh guidance on interest rates in the US. However, oil extended its gains for the second day straight. European stocks mostly edged lower. In early trading, the DAX in Germany eased 0.2% to 24,236.16. London’s FTSE 100 also lost 0.2%, settling at 9,269.31, and Paris’ CAC 40 fell 0.5% to 7,931.26. Asian markets move in different directions Asian markets, on the other hand, didn’t follow a clear direction. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 dropped 0.6% to 42,610.17 after a private survey showed factory activity was below the break-even line for a second month in August.  Elsewhere, the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong was 0.2% lower and reached 25,104.61, whereas the Shanghai Composite inched up 0.1% to 3,771.10.  Australia remained the outlier. The S&P/ASX 200 advanced 1.1% to reach 9,019.10, crossing 9,000, propelled by stronger economic readings and upbeat corporate results. The South Korean Kospi gained 0.4% to reach 3,141.74 after paring part of its early rise.  Oil prices edged up for a second straight session Energy markets extended a recent rebound as inventory data pointed to tight U.S. supplies. Oil prices firmed for another session, challenging the perception that a global surplus will emerge later in 2025.  Brent crude was priced above $67 per barrel, building on a 1.6% advance on Wednesday, though prices remained locked in a narrow band that has held for over 2 weeks amid thin summer volumes. U.S. crude in storage fell by 6 million barrels in the previous week, the largest draw since mid-June, according to government figures. Gasoline stockpiles declined for the 5th straight week, reinforcing signs that, despite talk of a later-year surplus, global inventories remain unusually low. Demand for jet fuel also stayed very strong. Even with the recent…

9 Ways Bitcoin Treasury Companies Can Differentiate In A Crowded Market

9 Ways Bitcoin Treasury Companies Can Differentiate In A Crowded Market

The post 9 Ways Bitcoin Treasury Companies Can Differentiate In A Crowded Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Era of Easy Differentiation Is Over There was a time when holding Bitcoin was enough. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) proved it in 2020—simply moving idle cash into Bitcoin electrified markets, drove premiums above NAV, and rewrote corporate playbooks. But five years later, the battlefield has changed. Dozens of public companies across Japan, France, the U.S., the U.K., Sweden, Canada, and Brazil now run Bitcoin treasury strategies. ETFs have captured billions in flows. El Salvador holds it as sovereign reserve. In this environment, “we own Bitcoin” is no longer a differentiator. If a company cannot compete on size, speed, or scale, it must assemble alternative sources of firepower to win over shareholders and maintain its mNAV premium. Without it, momentum stalls, media cycles fade, and mNAV grinds down toward 1—or below. 1) Lean into jurisdictional leverage Why it matters. Jurisdiction sets the cost of capital, the shape of your investor base, and the menu of corporate instruments you can legally deploy. It is a design variable, not a constraint. What it unlocks. In Japan, ultra-low rates and NISA eligibility made zero-coupon, premium-redeemable debt and retail inflows a rational path. In France, PEA-PME turns qualified equities into long-horizon, tax-advantaged vehicles, ideal for controlled floats and large ATMs. In the U.S., fair-value accounting and deep markets enable layered stacks across convertibles, secured bonds, preferreds, and ATMs. Elsewhere (U.K., Sweden, Canada, Brazil), wrappers and local capital habits create distinct demand curves that equities can tap even when local ETF options are limited or structurally different. Operator’s takeaway. Your jurisdiction should amplify your intended shareholder mix (retail wrappers vs. institutions), your funding cadence (episodic raises vs. rolling ATMs), and your narrative (innovation vs. stability). Treat geography as a capital tool. 2) Seasoned leadership and the rise of the Head of Bitcoin Strategy Why this role…

What Will Fed Chairman Jerome Powell Say on Friday? Here Are the Predictions and Possible Effects on the Market

What Will Fed Chairman Jerome Powell Say on Friday? Here Are the Predictions and Possible Effects on the Market

The post What Will Fed Chairman Jerome Powell Say on Friday? Here Are the Predictions and Possible Effects on the Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to hold his own against making a clear commitment to cut interest rates in September during his speech at the Jackson Hole meeting on Friday. While markets are strongly pricing in a rate cut, Powell may avoid giving definitive signals, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the process. Research firm LHMeyer suggested Powell could temper expectations to prevent markets from fully locking in on the cut. Powell’s speech will come under even greater pressure than usual this year. US President Donald Trump has been criticizing the Fed chair for months, calling him a “stubborn mule” and “unintelligent,” and harshly criticizing his resistance to interest rate cuts. Trump is poised to challenge the Fed’s internal balance of power by nominating economist Stephen Miran, a figure aligned with his political affiliation, to fill the vacant seat at the Fed. Miran, who supports Trump’s calls for interest rate cuts, also advocates for reforms within the Fed that would empower chairmen to dismiss figures like Powell. TS Lombard Chief Economist Steven Blitz commented, “Miran is not one to be swayed by tradition. He will be Trump’s provocateur at the FOMC, and he will not hide it.” Powell’s job isn’t just made more difficult by Trump’s pressure and Miran’s potential influence. At the Fed’s last meeting, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, considered among his successor candidates, voted against the majority to cut interest rates. On the data front, the picture is mixed. A weak July employment report signaled a slowdown in the labor market, while a rise in the producer price index fueled concerns that Trump’s tariffs would push up consumer prices. “The tariffs have created a stagflationary effect and seriously complicated the Fed’s job,” said Torsten Sløk, chief economist at Apollo Global Management. Barclays Chief Economist Marc Giannoni, however, noted…

S&P 500 hits familiar post-election year slump; this chart suggests more pain ahead

S&P 500 hits familiar post-election year slump; this chart suggests more pain ahead

The post S&P 500 hits familiar post-election year slump; this chart suggests more pain ahead appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The S&P 500 has slipped over the past four trading days, tracking a familiar late-summer dip in post-election years.  Carson Investment Research data shows that since 1950, the index typically bottoms by late October before resuming a year-end rally. So far in 2025, the pattern is playing out in line with history. Average post-election year for S&P 500. Source: Carson Investment Research via Isabelnet Fed policy in focus All eyes now turn to the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell will deliver a much-anticipated keynote on Friday.  Investors  are betting another cut could arrive as early as September, with markets currently pricing in high odds of easing soon.  Still, Powell faces a delicate balancing act, he must tread between easing signs and stubborn inflation, all amid political pressure over Fed independence. Analysts say his tone could determine whether this summer weakness ends in a bounce or bleeds into year-end.
