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.

Crypto Market Meltdown: Millions Lost Billions-What’s Next?

Crypto Market Meltdown: Millions Lost Billions-What’s Next?

Imagine waking up to find your crypto portfolio shaken to its core, with millions of traders wiped out overnight. If you’ve ever felt the gut punch of a sudden market crash, you know how crucial it is to stay informed and know when to strike back. Today’s crypto market review breaks down the jaw-dropping shakeout triggered by geopolitical moves and what it means for your next trade. Key Market Developments The crypto market experienced a massive shakeout triggered by President Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, leading to the largest liquidation event in crypto history. Over 1.66 million traders were liquidated with losses exceeding $19.33 billion, possible total liquidation figures exceeding $30 billion. Bitcoin plunged from above $122,000 to briefly below $102,000, wiping out gains since August 2025, while Ethereum tumbled from about $4,783 to $3,400 before recovering. The global crypto market cap fell over 9% in 24 hours to approximately $3.8 trillion with nearly $1 trillion erased in just three hours. The Fear and Greed Index dropped drastically from 64 to 27, marking one of the fastest sentiment reversals in crypto history. Approximately $20 billion in long positions were liquidated, the highest ever in crypto history. Despite this, the liquidation cleared extreme leverage, potentially removing immediate selling pressure. The Fear and Greed Index Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Movements Bitcoin currently trades around $115,522 after bouncing from a low near $102,000. Ethereum trades near $4,133 after testing lows near $3,400. Both assets face critical support and resistance zones, with Bitcoin needing to hold $113,500 to trigger relief rallies and Ethereum requiring sustained trading above $4,000 for upward momentum. Key On-Chain Bitcoin Metrics Last 24 Hours Our readers avoided losses because their Take-profit orders were executed just before the market downturn. Now, it may be a good time to look for new entry points for long positions. However, there is no need to rush yet, as the impact of negative news is still strong in the market. For those who prefer a more aggressive approach, there is a buy signal at $116,140. Key On-Chain Ethereum Metrics Last 24 Hours The situation is similar in the ETHUSD position. However, here we see that the price is supported by the Fibonacci 0.236 retracement level, which allows for a somewhat more confident placement of the buy order. The buy signal is at $4,225.60. Best Performing Altcoin of the Day Current Market and Price Predictions: Bitcoin price forecasts expect it to trade between $112,409 and $125,655 through October 2025, with some optimistic targets as high as $160,000 by late October and $200,000 by end of year. Ethereum is expected to continue recovery with price targets around $4,300 soon and longer-term projections between $8,500 and $12,000 before end of 2025. XRP is set for a possible rally to $4 contingent on upcoming ETF rulings. Overall, analysts caution for potential short-term corrections but maintain optimism for recovery and growth. High Growth Potential Crypto Projects DeepSnitch AI tops the list for high growth potential in October 2025, with significant presale success and a unique AI-driven platform providing market intelligence. Institutional support for Bitcoin and Ethereum continues strong, making them reliable but less explosive growth plays. Other promising projects for 2025 include Chainlink (LINK), Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), and XRP for more measured but solid growth. Crypto Conclusion Well, if your portfolio survived this squeeze, congrats — you’re officially tougher than a miner’s rig in the Sahara. Keep calm, HODL, and maybe get some popcorn because the crypto rollercoaster isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Just remember, blood on the streets often means discounts at the crypto buffet!

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Crashes To Lowest Level In 6 Months, Is A Market Rebound Coming?

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Crashes To Lowest Level In 6 Months, Is A Market Rebound Coming?

Following the massive crash that Bitcoin and the entire crypto market suffered over the weekend, the Fear & Greed Index has been pushed down to its lowest level in the last six months. This index, which measures the market sentiment and shows on a scale how investors are feeling about the crypto market, has now fallen back into the Extreme Fear territory. The number on the scale now shows the lowest level it has been since the market crash back in April 2025. Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Sees Major Crash The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index uses a number of factors to determine how investors are feeling about the market. It takes into account things like volatility, social sentiment aggregated across different social media platforms, market volume and momentum, and market dominance to come to a figure. Related Reading: Crypto Crash: $19.5 Billion Wiped Out In Record-Breaking Liquidation Event The data is aggregated, which puts it on a scale of 1-100, with 1-25 being Extreme Fear, 26-46 being Fear, 47-54 being Neutral, 55-75 representing Greed, and 76-100 representing Extreme Greed. Each of these shows either bullishness, bearishness, or nonchalance in the market. The most recent data shows that the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index crashed to 24 on Sunday. This puts the index firmly in Extreme Fear territory, suggesting that investors are extremely cautious at this point. It also shows a reluctance to enter into any positions at this time. This is the result of the massive liquidation event that happened last Friday, with crypto traders losing over $19 billion in one day. Thus, it is no surprise that fear has gripped the market. However, this would also present a unique opportunity in the market. Buy When The Market Is Bleeding One of the oldest sayings in the financial world is to “buy when there is blood on the streets.” This represents times of extreme losses, where most investors are scared to put their money in the market. Thus, with the market teetering on Extreme Fear, it could be the time to buy. Related Reading: XRP’s 2017 Pattern Returns In 2025, Analyst Predicts Massive Rally The last time that the market declined into Extreme Fear this low was back in April 2025, and what followed was a rally that saw the Bitcoin price reach new all-time highs in May 2025. If this trend holds, then the market could be looking at a possible rapid increase. By Sunday, the market was already recovering, with the Bitcoin price crossing $114,000 and Ethereum making its way back above $4,000. It is still quite early to tell if the market is in a full recovery trend, but with prices already bouncing, it could signal the next wave of gains.

Q3 earnings season setup remains favorable: What to know

Q3 earnings season setup remains favorable: What to know

The post Q3 earnings season setup remains favorable: What to know appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key takeaways The big banks dominate the reporting docket this week. 35 S&P 500 members in total are expected to report. Q3 earnings are currently expected to grow 5.7% YoY on 6.1% higher revenues. The Q3 earnings season gets going in earnest this week, with almost 80 companies on deck to report results, including 35 S&P 500 members. The big banks dominate this week’s reporting docket, but we also have several bellwethers from other sectors reporting, including Johnson & Johnson, United Air Lines, CSX Corp., and others. Regular readers of our earnings commentary are familiar with the notably positive estimate revisions trend that we experienced over the last few months. The positive revisions trend since the start of Q3 in July has contrasted with what we experienced in the comparable periods of the first two quarters of the year. This shift in the revisions trend has been the most notable in the post-COVID period and provides a positive setup for the Q3 earnings season.  For 2025 Q3, the expectation is for earnings growth of +5.7% relative to the same period last year on +6.1% higher revenues. The expectation was for +4.2% earnings growth at the start of Q3 in July. If we go by history, then the actual Q3 earnings growth will exceed these expectations. But in the unlikely event that actual Q3 earnings growth turns out to be +5.7%, then this will be the slowest growth pace for the S&P 500 index in the last two years (since 2023 Q3). Q3 estimates increased for 6 of the 16 Zacks sectors, including Tech, Finance, and Energy (Business Services, Retail, and Conglomerates were the other sectors). On the negative side, estimates were under pressure across the remaining 10 sectors, with significant declines in Basic Materials, Medical, Consumer Staples, and Transportation. The…

XAG/USD reaches new record highs above $51.50

XAG/USD reaches new record highs above $51.50

The post XAG/USD reaches new record highs above $51.50 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Silver price (XAG/USD) extends its winning streak for the fourth successive session, reaching its all-time high of $51.69 during the Asian hours on Monday. The non-interest-bearing Silver receives support from the increased likelihood of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) further rate cuts by year-end. Consumer confidence in the United States (US) deteriorated slightly in early October, supporting the Fed rate cut bets. The preliminary University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index edged lower to 55.0 for October, from 55.1 in September. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes from the September meeting suggested policymakers are leaning toward further rate cuts this year. The CME FedWatch Tool suggests that markets are now pricing in nearly a 96% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in October and an 87% possibility of another reduction in December. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President Alberto Musalem said on Friday that the labor market is showing signs of potential weakness and that a balanced approach to monetary policy only works if inflation expectations are anchored. Meanwhile, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said that inflation has come in much less than she had feared. Daly further stated that the US central bank is projecting additional cuts in risk management. The safe-haven Silver attracts buyers due to renewed US-China trade concerns. US President Donald Trump said that there’s no need to meet China’s President Xi Jinping at the upcoming South Korea summit and threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese imports. However, Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday, noting that China’s economy “will be fine” and that the US wants to “help China, not hurt it.” 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…

XRP ETF Era Begins: 21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Track XRP Price via CME Index

XRP ETF Era Begins: 21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Track XRP Price via CME Index

The post XRP ETF Era Begins: 21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Track XRP Price via CME Index appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The race to launch the first spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has entered a decisive phase even as the crypto market faces steep losses. On October 10, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) received a new set of S-1/A amendment filings for proposed XRP ETFs from 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, Grayscale, and Canary Capital. 21Shares Files CME-Linked XRP ETF The latest filing from 21Shares outlines a fund designed to track XRP’s price using the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate (XRPUSD_NY), a recognized benchmark used by institutional investors. The ETF will be organized as a Delaware trust and will hold XRP in cold storage with Coinbase Custody Trust Company. Shares will list on the Cboe BZX Exchange, giving investors exposure to XRP through regular brokerage accounts. 21Shares XRP ETF Files S-1/A with SEC: Aims to Track XRP Price via CME Benchmark, Lists on Cboe BZX #XRP #ETF pic.twitter.com/8dqmdz3vXy— 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) October 11, 2025 The filing confirms the ETF will be passive, with no use of leverage or derivatives. Authorized Participants will create or redeem shares in exchange for cash or XRP based on the CME benchmark. The document also notes the product carries high risk and lacks FDIC insurance or Investment Company Act protections. SEC Introduces Faster ETF Listing Rules Recent regulatory updates could speed up ETF approvals. For the first time, the SEC’s new generic ETF listing standards allow exchanges like Nasdaq, Cboe, and NYSE to list spot crypto ETFs without separate case-by-case approval. Previously, applications often took more than 240 days to process. The new rules could cut that to 60–75 days, a big change for issuers waiting in line. Crypto analyst Diana said that 21Shares and Canary have revised their filings to meet updated standards. Changes include: Clearer custody and redemption procedures Stronger surveillance-sharing agreements Full alignment with SEC feedback “These updates are the kind of cleanup you do right before launch,” she wrote on X. Launch Could Come in Early 2026 If the SEC stays on its current track, XRP ETFs could debut soon. The first issuer to meet the criteria will move ahead under the new fast-track process. The next steps include: Acknowledgment letters confirming receipt Exchange listing notices under new rules Effective S-1 status Any conditional approvals that may follow Uncertainty remains. The SEC could still delay decisions, especially given political tensions and the recent government shutdown.
