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.

Initial Jobless Claims rose to 237K last week

Initial Jobless Claims rose to 237K last week

The post Initial Jobless Claims rose to 237K last week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 237K the previous week. Continuing Jobless Claims dropped to 1.940M. According to a report from the US Department of Labour (DOL) released on Thursday, the number of US citizens submitting new applications for unemployment insurance went up to 237K for the week ending August 30. The latest print surpassed initial estimates (230K) and was higher than the previous week’s 229K (unrevised). Additionally, the 4-week moving average increased by 2.5K, bringing it up to 231K from the unrevised average of the previous week. The report indicated a seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate of 1.3%, with Continuing Jobless Claims shrinking by 4K to 1.940M for the week ending August 23. Market reaction The Greenback keeps the bid stance unchanged in the wake of the release, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) navigating the 98.30 region amid a knee-jerk in the risk-associated space and extra weakness in US yields across the board. Employment FAQs Labor market conditions are a key element to assess the health of an economy and thus a key driver for currency valuation. High employment, or low unemployment, has positive implications for consumer spending and thus economic growth, boosting the value of the local currency. Moreover, a very tight labor market – a situation in which there is a shortage of workers to fill open positions – can also have implications on inflation levels and thus monetary policy as low labor supply and high demand leads to higher wages. The pace at which salaries are growing in an economy is key for policymakers. High wage growth means that households have more money to spend, usually leading to price increases in consumer goods. In contrast to more volatile sources of inflation such as energy prices, wage growth is seen as a key component of underlying and…

One of the Five Largest Commercial Banks in the US Returns to Bitcoin! “The Old SEC Blocked It!”

One of the Five Largest Commercial Banks in the US Returns to Bitcoin! “The Old SEC Blocked It!”

The post One of the Five Largest Commercial Banks in the US Returns to Bitcoin! “The Old SEC Blocked It!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US President Donald Trump and his administration’s lukewarm approach to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is attracting more corporate investors. At this point, US Bancorp, which had to stop BTC services during the former SEC administration, which put pressure and sanctions on the cryptocurrency industry, announced that it would restart its crypto services. US Bancorp, one of the five largest commercial banks in the United States, announced that it has relaunched Bitcoin custody services for institutional asset managers, according to Reuters. US Bancorp’s move was influenced by Trump’s removal of SAB 121, which prevented financial institutions from offering these services, which was passed during the Biden era. The bank had previously planned to offer custody services in 2022 through a partnership with Bitcoin financial services firm NYDIG. However, it halted this initiative after the previous SEC administration announced stricter regulations for crypto custody services. As of 2022, US Bancorp will operate Bitcoin custody through a partnership with crypto firm NYDIG as a sub-custodian. NYDIG will handle physical custody of the underlying asset. “With increased regulatory clarity, we have added Bitcoin ETFs to our product portfolio, allowing us to offer full-service solutions to managers seeking custody and management services,” said Stephen Philipson, head of commercial and corporate banking at US Bank. US Bank recently stated that they are considering adding other cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin to their custody services if they meet the bank’s internal standards. *This is not investment advice.

Bitwise debuts Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana ETPs on Switzerland’s main stock exchange

Bitwise debuts Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana ETPs on Switzerland’s main stock exchange

The post Bitwise debuts Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana ETPs on Switzerland’s main stock exchange appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bitwise listed five new crypto ETPs, including those tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, on Switzerland’s SIX Exchange. The ETPs are fully backed by digital assets and provide increased investment options for European investors. Bitwise Asset Management listed five flagship crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Switzerland’s main stock exchange, the company announced Thursday. Of the new listings, four are tied to the largest crypto assets by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins. These include the Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP, Ethereum Staking ETP, Solana Staking ETP, and Physical XRP ETP. Bitwise also listed the MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 ETP, which tracks the performance of the MSCI Global Digital Assets Select Top 20 Capped Index. The index, managed by MSCI and rebalanced quarterly, covers more than 90% of the total investable cryptocurrency market capitalization. “The five flagship products we have listed in Switzerland will broaden options for investors looking to benefit from the full potential of crypto markets,” said Ronald Richter, Regional Director Investment Strategy of Bitwise in Europe. “Europe is rapidly opening up for digital assets, and Switzerland is a leading and crucial market at the heart of the continent.” The move is expected to expand the digital asset manager’s presence in European markets, where demand for crypto investment products is growing and changing regulations are creating new opportunities for crypto investment. The UK is set to ease retail access to crypto exchange-traded notes next month after more than three years of restricting such products over concerns about consumer risk and market volatility. “The expansion of our product suite in Switzerland is a logical next step for Bitwise, and fits our strategy of always aiming to provide best-in-class crypto ETPs,” said Bradley Duke, Head of Europe at Bitwise Asset Management. The ETPs are fully backed…
