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.

WisdomTree launches blockchain-based CRDT private credit fund

The post WisdomTree launches blockchain-based CRDT private credit fund appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WisdomTree has unveiled a tokenized investment vehicle to bring private credit directly onto blockchain rails. The WisdomTree Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT) launched Sept. 12 on Ethereum and Stellar blockchains. It will be available to investors through the company’s Prime and Connect platforms. WisdomTree’s CRDT According to the statement, the fund’s performance mirrors the Gapstow Private Credit and Alternative Income Index (GLACI). Subscriptions settle instantly (T+0), redemptions finalize in two days (T+2), and the minimum investment threshold is set at $25. Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree, said: “CRDT unlocks access to one of the most coveted asset classes – alternatives – directly onchain. By expanding the breadth of our tokenized funds, we’re giving crypto native investors the chance to diversify via exposures that were once reserved for institutions, all within the digital ecosystem.” The move highlights how asset managers are accelerating the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). According to RWA.xyz, this trend has already pushed the total value of tokenized instruments on-chain to nearly $30 billion. By turning private credit into a digital product, WisdomTree aims to shorten settlement cycles, offer greater transparency, and keep markets accessible around the clock.

USD/CHF languishes around 0.7960 with US Consumer Sentiment on focus

USD/CHF languishes around 0.7960 with US Consumer Sentiment on focus

The post USD/CHF languishes around 0.7960 with US Consumer Sentiment on focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar wavers around 0.7960 after rejection from 0.8000 on Thursday. A large increase in US Jobless Claims cemented hopes of Fed easing and capped USD’s upside attempts. Dovish comments by SNB P Schlegel have increased bearish pressure on the CHF.. The US Dollar remains trading within a tight range, with upside attempts limited at 0.7980, following a rejection from the 0.8000 psychological area on Thursday. Higher Jobless Claims and moderate consumer inflation figures cemented hopes of Fed cuts and undermined speculative demand for the USD. Weekly claims for unemployment benefits rose to a four-year high of 263K last week, well beyond the 235K expected and above the previous week’s 236K.  At the same time, August Consumer Prices Index met market expectations, with the yearly inflation accelerating to 2.9% from 2.7% and the core CPI steady, at 3.1%, confirming that the conditions are set for a rate cut in September, and one or two more before the end of the year. Later today, the US Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index is expected to show a further deterioration in September. The Index is seen falling to 58.0 from 58.2 in August, levels about 15% below the ones seen last year at these times, and adding pressure on the Fed to ease borrowing costs. The Swiss Franc, however, is failing to capitalise on US Dollar weakness, as dovish comments by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) Chairman Martin Schlegel, stating that the bank will “not hesitate” to ease monetary policy further, keep weighing on demand for the Swiss Franc. Swiss Franc FAQs The Swiss Franc (CHF) is Switzerland’s official currency. It is among the top ten most traded currencies globally, reaching volumes that well exceed the size of the Swiss economy. Its value is determined by the broad market sentiment, the country’s economic…

Price Increases in Under 48hrs

Price Increases in Under 48hrs

The post Price Increases in Under 48hrs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Early backers know the secret to fortune in crypto: Unearth underrated gems. And when they find one, they don’t hesitate to go all in. The latest crypto whale magnet is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER)–the upcoming layer-2 solution designed to enhance speed and programmability on the Bitcoin blockchain. The project expands Bitcoin’s reach to the broader Web3 market, including dApps, DeFi, NFTs, and even meme coins. Having raised $15.2M already, the clock is ticking on the $HYPER presale. So here is a closer look at what makes it one of the most promising altcoins this season. $HYPER Mania: Why Bitcoin Hyper is Trending Bitcoin Hyper is building a Layer-2 solution for Bitcoin using the Solana Virtual Machine and a decentralized Canonical Bridge. Although Bitcoin is the world’s largest crypto, the Bitcoin blockchain is outdated. It doesn’t stand a chance against blockchains like Ethereum and Solana that support smart contracts. That explains why $BTC remains a store of value, while Ethereum and Solana keep expanding their ecosystems with Web3 innovation. Bitcoin Hyper addresses Bitcoin’s issues, making it faster, cheaper, and scalable without sacrificing security. The Layer-2 architecture is simple, yet sophisticated, as shown below: Basically, you send your $BTC to a specific wallet address monitored by the Canonical Bridge. Once confirmed, it will be minted on Layer-2 as wrapped $BTC, ready for DeFi, staking, and nearly anything else in Web3. Thanks to the SVM, transactions are extremely fast and inexpensive. In fact, it can sometimes be faster than Solana itself. The best part is, you can withdraw your $BTC back to Bitcoin’s native Layer-1 whenever you want. It’s Not Just a Promise; Tech Progress Inspires Confidence The crypto market is crowded with early-stage coins that promise everything under the sky, only to keep investors waiting for months after the TGE for a product…

Crypto Markets Climb Higher but ‘Bitcoin Sits at a Crossroads,’ Says Glassnode

Crypto Markets Climb Higher but ‘Bitcoin Sits at a Crossroads,’ Says Glassnode

The post Crypto Markets Climb Higher but ‘Bitcoin Sits at a Crossroads,’ Says Glassnode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto markets are closing the week on a high note as traders bet on an imminent Fed rate cut. Crypto markets are closing the week higher on Friday, Sept. 12, with traders leaning into bets that The Federal Reserve will cut rates next week. The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies added about 1% to top $4.1 trillion in the past 24 hours, lifted by steady crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows and gains across large-cap cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading just above $115,000, up 0.7% on the day, after breaking above $116,000 last night. Ethereum (ETH) is trading above $4,500, gaining a solid 2.3% today and pushing back to levels last seen in late August. BTC 24-hour price chart. Source: CoinGecko Dogecoin (DOGE) remains the top performer on the week among the top-10 crypto assets, gaining 21% over the period and 6.2% in the past day, as traders await the imminent launch of a Dogecoin ETF in the U.S., which has been delayed multiple times. Among the top-20 assets, Hyperliquid’s HYPE is also a top gainer, up 20% this week, as prominent stablecoin issuers, including DeFi native projects, compete to be selected as the issuer and manager of the platform’s recently announced stablecoin, USDH. Among other large-caps, Solana (SOL) is continuing to have a strong week, up 14.5% to $239. BNB is up 6.3% on the week and 1% on the day at $909, while XRP is also up slightly today at $3.04, showing 5.9% gains for the week. BTC at a Crossroads Analysts at Glassnode noted in an X post today that Bitcoin’s cost basis distribution “highlights dense support around $110k–$114k, where a large share of supply was acquired.” They note that the next “major supply zone” sits near $117,000, which may provide “resistance if price tests this level.”…

Parabolic Bitcoin Rally Is Coming—Here’s What To Watch

Parabolic Bitcoin Rally Is Coming—Here’s What To Watch

The post Parabolic Bitcoin Rally Is Coming—Here’s What To Watch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. One of the dominant narratives this cycle has been that “this time is different.” With institutional adoption reshaping Bitcoin’s supply and demand dynamics, many argue that we won’t see the kind of euphoric blowoff top that defined past cycles. Instead, the idea is that smart money and ETFs will smooth out volatility, replacing mania with maturity. But is that really the case? Sentiment Drives Markets, Even for Institutions Skeptics often dismiss tools like the Fear and Greed Index as too simplistic, arguing that they can’t capture the nuance of institutional flows. But writing off sentiment ignores a fundamental truth that institutions are still run by people, and people remain prone to the same cognitive and emotional biases that drive market cycles, regardless of how deep their pockets are! Figure 1: The Fear and Greed Index still shows sentiment extremes are the best areas to act as a contrarian. View Live Chart Even though volatility has dampened compared to earlier cycles, the move from $15,000 to over $120,000 is far from underwhelming. And crucially, Bitcoin has achieved this without the kind of deep, extended drawdowns that marked past bull markets. The ETF boom and corporate treasury accumulation have shifted supply dynamics, but the basic feedback loop of greed, fear, and speculation remains intact. Market Bubbles Are a Timeless Reality It’s not just Bitcoin that’s susceptible to parabolic runs, bubbles have been part of markets for centuries. Asset prices have repeatedly surged beyond fundamentals, fueled by human behavior. Studies consistently show that stability itself often breeds instability, and that  quiet periods encourage leverage, speculation, and eventually runaway price action. Bitcoin has followed this same rhythm. Periods of low volatility see Open Interest climb, leverage build, and speculative bets increase. Figure 2: Open Interest has historically spiked during low-volatility periods, a setup that…

The World’s Giant DTCC Has Made an Exciting Decision for XRP and Two Altcoins! Is Approval Coming?

The World’s Giant DTCC Has Made an Exciting Decision for XRP and Two Altcoins! Is Approval Coming?

The post The World’s Giant DTCC Has Made an Exciting Decision for XRP and Two Altcoins! Is Approval Coming? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The SEC has not approved any altcoin ETFs other than Bitcoin and Ethereum to date. Currently, ETF applications for altcoins like XRP and Solana (SOL) are pending before the SEC. At this point, while altcoin ETFs are expected to be approved one after another in the coming months, an important development has occurred. Accordingly, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) reported that it has listed the Fidelity Solana (SOL) ETF, Canary Hedera (HBAR) ETF, and Canary XRP (XRP) ETF on its website. This listing has created excitement in the cryptocurrency community as it signals that these ETFs may soon be approved by the SEC. Nate Geraci, Head of Asset Management at NovaDius, who is monitoring DTCC’s listing, said: “DTCC listing the Fidelity SOL ETF and Canary XRP & HBAR ETFs means nothing from a regulatory perspective. It all depends on the SEC.” A DTCC listing is generally considered a positive signal for an ETF considering launch. However, a DTCC listing is independent of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) scrutiny and does not guarantee listing. DTCCs play a crucial role in the American ETF market. When an ETF is added to the DTCC list, it means that an intermediary bank has requested a DTCC designation for that ETF fund, and the DTCC may execute this action at an unspecified future date following SEC approval. According to Bloomberg, the XRP and Solana ETFs have a 95% probability of approval, while the HBAR ETF has a 90% probability. While the SEC’s deadline to approve or reject XRP and Solana is October, the SEC has so far postponed all altcoin-related ETF applications until the deadline. *This is not investment advice.

US Dollar Index (DXY) recovery loses steam at 97.80

US Dollar Index (DXY) recovery loses steam at 97.80

The post US Dollar Index (DXY) recovery loses steam at 97.80 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar Index loses steam at 97.80 and keeps the broader bearish trend intact. Weak US employment and moderate inflation figures pave the path for Fed cuts. The DXY is approaching a key support area above 97.00. The US Dollar bounced up from lows earlier on Friday, but upside attempts remain limited below the 98.00 level so far, which keeps price action trapped within the previous day’s range, and maintains the broader bearish trend intact.  Data released on Thursday showed a moderate acceleration in consumer inflation, but the sharp increase in the weekly jobless claims gathered more interest. The largest increase in claims in the last four years confirms the weak momentum of the US labour market and paves the path to a Fed rate cut next week, and at least another one before the year-end. Technical Analysis: The 97.10-97.25 is a key support area The technical picture remains bearish. The Daily and the 4-hour Relative Strength Index remain below the 50 levels, suggesting that rallies are likely to find buyers. Recent price action shows a descending channel from the August 5 high, underpinning the bearish view. The recent US Dollar’s recovery has found resistance at the 97.80 level,  below Thursday’s high, at 98.15. This level and the channel top, now at the 98.50 area, need to be broken to confirm a trend shift. To the downside, immediate support is at the intraday low of 97.50, with key support area at the 9710-9725 area, which encloses the lows of July 24 and August 8, and the bottom of the descending channel. Further down, the July 4 and 7 lows, near 96.90, will come into focus. US Dollar Price This week The table below shows the percentage change of US Dollar (USD) against listed major currencies this week. US Dollar…
