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.

Markets caught offside by White House announcement

Markets caught offside by White House announcement

The post Markets caught offside by White House announcement appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Once again dip buyers have jumped in to avert a wider selloff, says Chris Beauchamp, Chief Market Analyst at investing and trading platform IG. Stocks rebound from their lows Markets often see a burst of volatility after US holidays, but today seemed to have something more about it, as European markets nose dived in early trading and bond yields continued to rise. The start of the US cash session saw a recovery off the lows, a sign that dip buyers remain vigilant for any chance to get in on the action. A seemingly cryptic announcement from the White House was revealed to be merely an update on Space Command, at which point any wild fears about the health of the US president were quietly dropped. Dax endures steep losses One index that didn’t rebound this afternoon was the Dax, which slumped following Fresenius’ sale of its Canadian business, and then took a further knock as eurozone inflation rose. The ECB’s Schnabel didn’t help matters, arguing that further rate cuts were unnecessary. European stocks have enjoyed a brief moment in the sun this year, but as the Fed moves towards rate cuts we might see this wave of fund flows head back to Wall Street and the allure of high growth stocks over their cheap but staid European cousins.

Pound sinks 1% as UK Gilt yields hit 1998 highs

Pound sinks 1% as UK Gilt yields hit 1998 highs

The post Pound sinks 1% as UK Gilt yields hit 1998 highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. GBP/USD drops to 1.3409 after 30-year Gilt yields soar to 5.697%, the highest since May 1998. Market fears Reeves’ budget may raise taxes, hurting growth; Starmer reshuffle fuels political uncertainty in Downing Street. US ISM Manufacturing PMI contracts for sixth month, while S&P Global survey shows business activity deterioration. The Pound Sterling (GBP) tumbles 1% on Tuesday as UK 30-year Gilts rose to 5.697%, its highest level since May 1998, due to fiscal concerns linked to the Autumn Budget. In the meantime, US economic data was mixed, following the release of Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMIs) reports from S&P Global and the ISM. GBP/USD trades at 1.3399 after hitting a high of 1.3549. Sterling pressured by surging 30-year yields, fiscal concerns and political reshuffle as US data remains mixed In the United Kingdom (UK), pressure on Finance Minister Rachel Reeves is growing. Market participants expect her to raise taxes in the next budget to remain on course for her fiscal targets, which could dent growth. In the meantime, Reuters revealed that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reshuffling his top team of advisers, including the Deputy Finance Minister Darren Jones, into Downing Street, along with naming Minouche Shafik, a former Deputy Bank of England Governor, as his chief economic adviser. Those appointments seem to have weakened Chancellor Reeves’ stance. Some analysts speculate that even Reeves could be removed from office. Across the pond, the ISM Manufacturing PMI shrank for the sixth straight month, though improved, from 48 to 48.7 in August. The PMI was expected to hit 49. The sub-components of the ISM showed that production fell in the previous month, and factory employment continues to cool. Worth noting that the prices paid component slipped to a still high 63.7 from 64.8 in July, an indication that tariffs are slowing passing…

Euro steadies above 1.1650 as ISM PMI shows contraction, NFP in focus

Euro steadies above 1.1650 as ISM PMI shows contraction, NFP in focus

The post Euro steadies above 1.1650 as ISM PMI shows contraction, NFP in focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD rebounds as the US Dollar loses traction after the ISM PMI release. Headline PMI rises to 48.7 but stays in contraction for the sixth month. Employment and production indices weaken, underscoring fragile conditions The Euro (EUR) trims some of its earlier losses against the US Dollar (USD) on Tuesday, as the Greenback loses momentum following the release of mixed US manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data. At the time of writing, EUR/USD is trading near 1.1670 in the American session, modestly rebounding from an intraday low of 1.1613. Price action, however, remains confined within a narrow range between 1.1600 and 1.1720, underscoring market indecision ahead of Friday’s highly anticipated US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report. ISM Manufacturing PMI: Headline stays in contraction, new orders surprise higher The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) Manufacturing PMI for August came in at 48.7, slightly above July’s 48.0 but still below the 50 threshold for a sixth consecutive month, confirming ongoing contraction in the sector. New Orders: rose sharply to 51.4, signaling expansion for the first time in seven months. Employment Index: slipped to 43.8, highlighting ongoing labor market weakness in the sector. Production Index: dropped to 47.8, keeping output in contraction territory. Prices Paid: eased slightly to 63.7 from 65.3, but remain elevated, pointing to lingering input cost pressure. The data suggest that while demand is starting to stabilize, production and hiring remain under strain. The improvement in new orders contrasts with broader weakness, hinting at tentative signs of recovery but no clear turnaround yet. Market reaction: US Dollar softens, yields edge lower The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against a basket of six major currencies, fell back toward the 98.00 handle after briefly spiking to 98.60 earlier in the European session as investors reacted to the mixed PMI…

Bitcoin Gets Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts with BRC-2.0 Upgrade

Bitcoin Gets Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts with BRC-2.0 Upgrade

The post Bitcoin Gets Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts with BRC-2.0 Upgrade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new upgrade introduces programmability to Bitcoin-based tokens, opening the gates for DeFi and NFTs. BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin network can now run Ethereum-style smart contracts with a new upgrade, opening the door for apps and DeFi directly on the network. The update, known as BRC-2.0, was activated at Bitcoin block height 912,690, marking another step in the Bitcoin community’s efforts to elevate the cryptocurrency’s status from just a store of value to a platform capable of supporting dApps and DeFi protocols. “BRC-20 2.0 signals a new chapter for Bitcoin, moving it from a passive store of value toward a programmable financial layer,” Leo Fan, co-founder of Cysic, said in a commentary for The Defiant. “The real test will be whether developers can deliver meaningful applications that justify the added complexity in a network where scalability and culture remain difficult hurdles.” BRC-2.0 adds Ethereum-style smart contract support to the BRC-20 indexer, letting blockchain developers build directly on Bitcoin without relying on cross-chain bridges or wrapped tokens. This means Bitcoin-native tokens are becoming programmable and able to work smoothly with other EVM-compatible chains. Edan Yago, CEO and co-founder of BitcoinOS, a framework that adds smart contract functionality, told The Defiant that the upgrade gives developers the ability, for the first time, to create “fully-programmable tokens and smart contracts on Bitcoin, make BTC itself programmable (much as wETH makes ETH programmable), build rollups on Bitcoin and to use ZK to bridge BTC in an effectively trustless manner.” “By unlocking programmability directly on Bitcoin, we are mobilizing dormant capital, enabling institutions and developers alike to innovate on the world’s most secure and valuable network,” Yago added. ‘Digital Golden Fuel’ Dmitry Gusakov, tech lead at Ethereum staking protocol Lido, told The Defiant that for Ethereum, EVM has become “one of the key success…

Coinbase launches futures product combining tech stocks with crypto exposure

Coinbase launches futures product combining tech stocks with crypto exposure

The post Coinbase launches futures product combining tech stocks with crypto exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase will launch Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures to create the first US-listed futures product that combines traditional equities and crypto exposure, according to a Sept. 2 announcement. The product will debut on Sept. 22, arriving less than two months after Coinbase began offering CFTC-regulated perpetuals to US customers in July. The hybrid index tracks 10 equally weighted components: the seven largest US technology companies, known as the “Magnificent Seven,” Coinbase’s own stock, and BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Each component represents 10% of the index, with quarterly rebalancing to maintain equal weightings. The Magnificent Seven stocks include Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, NVIDIA, Meta, and Tesla. The cryptocurrency exposure is provided through the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), offering indirect access to the two largest digital assets by market capitalization. Product structure Coinbase positions the product as addressing investor demand for dual exposure to traditional financial instruments and digital assets. The company stated that no US-listed derivative previously offered access to both equities and cryptocurrencies within a futures product. The monthly cash-settled contracts represent $1 multiplied by the index value. At an example index price of $3,000, each contract would carry a notional value of $3,000. MarketVector serves as the official index provider for calculation and maintenance. The launch builds on Coinbase’s derivatives expansion following its July introduction of CFTC-regulated perpetual contracts for US customers. Those products offer up to 10x leverage with 0.02% fees on major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Coinbase frames the equity index futures as marking “the next evolution of our product suite” and paving the way for multi-asset derivatives that broaden access and efficiency for investors. The company promises to expand availability to retail users in the coming months after the initial launch through partner platforms.…

BRC-20 Indexer Upgrade Brings Ethereum-Like Features to Bitcoin

BRC-20 Indexer Upgrade Brings Ethereum-Like Features to Bitcoin

The post BRC-20 Indexer Upgrade Brings Ethereum-Like Features to Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief BRC-2.0 embeds EVM functionality directly into Bitcoin’s BRC-20 indexer. The upgrade aims to expand Bitcoin tokens beyond meme coins into programmable assets. Backers say the move positions BRC-20 ahead of Runes by enabling a DeFi ecosystem. BRC-20, the first token standard built directly on Bitcoin’s base layer and indexers, has officially launched “BRC2.0” at Bitcoin block height 912690, which took place Monday morning. The upgrade embeds EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) functionality directly into the BRC-20 core indexer, allowing developers to deploy Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin, without relying on bridges, oracles, or trusted intermediaries. The move enables programmability to Bitcoin-native tokens, effectively turning BRC-20 assets into composable and interoperable instruments that can interact with EVM-compatible chains and scaling layers. The BRC2.0 upgrade was developed by Best In Slot, a key infrastructure player in the Ordinals ecosystem, in collaboration with BRC20’s pseudonymous creator Domo and the Layer 1 Foundation, the governance body overseeing the protocol. “Bitcoin meta-protocols like Ordinals, Runes, and BRC20 run on indexers, which function like simple calculators,” Eril Binari Ezerel, CEO of Best In Slot, shared in a press release to Decrypt. “We upgraded this ‘calculator-style’ indexer with EVM—making BRC20 Turing complete.” From meme coins to modular apps Since its launch in early 2023, BRC-20 has seen over $3 billion in asset value traded. The milestone has been achieved without raising venture capital or receiving institutional support. Even as activity cooled in 2025, BRC-20 volumes remained dominant, registering 5,636 BTC (US$633 million) in on-chain volume over the last six months, more than double Runes and nearly five times more than traditional Ordinals inscriptions. The new smart contract functionality expands what’s possible for Bitcoin-native assets.  Until now, these tokens have been primarily used for meme coins and speculative trading, with few real-world applications due to Bitcoin’s…

Mark Palmer Sees More Than 100% Upside

Mark Palmer Sees More Than 100% Upside

The post Mark Palmer Sees More Than 100% Upside appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy’s (MSTR) recent share-price weakness has drawn criticism from retail investors who accuse executive Executive Chairman Michael Saylor of undermining discipline by loosening a self-imposed rule against issuing equity when the company’s premium to its bitcoin holdings (mNAV) fell below 2.5x. That criticism, however, misreads the situation, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer said in a research report Tuesday. The stock’s underperformance has more to do with market dynamics, namely a compressing premium to its bitcoin net asset value and broader volatility in crypto and macro markets, than with capital mismanagement, Palmer wrote. By updating its guidance on Aug. 18 to allow tactical equity issuance even below the 2.5x mNAV threshold, Strategy effectively restored flexibility, the analyst said. Rather than a capricious move, the change freed the company to keep buying bitcoin during periods of weakness, maintaining its accumulation flywheel. This approach is consistent with its history of adapting its balance sheet, Palmer argued, whether paying down restrictive debt, refinancing with convertible bonds, or innovating with perpetual preferred stock designed to supply permanent capital without refinancing risk. That financial innovation has been one of Strategy’s most overlooked strengths., according to Palmer. Its preferred stock program has created new bitcoin-linked instruments attractive to hedge funds and volatility traders, validating the firm’s strategy and expanding the investor base. Each successful placement underscores the appetite for bitcoin-tied fixed income and cements the company’s reputation as a credible issuer experimenting at the intersection of crypto and traditional markets. The company may soon face another milestone: potential inclusion in the S&P 500 index. If admitted, the stock could see billions in passive inflows and would join Coinbase (COIN) and Block (XYZ) in embedding crypto exposure directly into the portfolios of mainstream equity investors, the broker said. Palmer reiterated its buy rating and $705 price target, calling Strategy…
