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.

Dow Jones points to a moderate correction from Friday’s record highs

Dow Jones points to a moderate correction from Friday’s record highs

The post Dow Jones points to a moderate correction from Friday’s record highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dow Jones futures are showing a 0.20% decline a few hours ahead of Monday’s opening. Wall Street is likely to show some correction after the sharp rallies triggered by Fed Powell’s Dovish turn. Nvidia’s quarterly earnings, due on Wednesday, and Friday’s PCE Price Index figures are likely to drive equities this week. Dow Jones futures point to a mild pullback from the all-time highs at 45,750 reached on Friday amid the strong risk appetite triggered by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s dovish rhetoric at the Jackson Hole meeting of central bankers. The major Wall Street indices surged on Friday after Powell pointed to the increasing risks for the labour market and acknowledged the need for less restrictive monetary policies to avert a deep economic downturn. Inflationary risks, his primary concern to date, took a backseat on Friday. Powell assessed that the base case for a short-lived impact of tariffs looks reasonable, which opens the door for an interest rate cut after September’s Monetary Policy meeting. Nvidia results and PCE Inflation in the spotlight this week Later today, New York Fed President John Williams and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan are likely to give further insight into September’s decision. Before that, US New Home Sales will show the momentum of the property market.  The highlights of the week, however, will be Nvidia’s quarterly earnings, due on Wednesday, amid increasing doubt about the valuations of AI giants, ahead of Friday’s Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. Friday’s PCE inflation is expected to show that inflation continues its uptrend, which might pose a serious challenge for the central bank’s monetary policy setting and trigger a significant reversal in Equity markets.

Critical Bitcoin (BTC) Statement from Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, Who Manages $11 Trillion! “Now I’m…!”

Critical Bitcoin (BTC) Statement from Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, Who Manages $11 Trillion! “Now I’m…!”

The post Critical Bitcoin (BTC) Statement from Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, Who Manages $11 Trillion! “Now I’m…!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, made important statements about Bitcoin. Speaking in an interview on Citi’s YouTube channel, Larry Fink described Bitcoin as an important hedge against currency devaluation. The famous CEO also added that he sees Bitcoin as digital gold. The BlackRock CEO admitted that he has experienced a major change from his openly critical stance on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, saying: “The reason you own Bitcoin is because you’re afraid of your currency losing value. In the past, I viewed Bitcoin solely as a money laundering tool. However, during the COVID-19 period, I realized the power of blockchain technology. Now I too have become a believer. Bitcoin can act as digital gold, protecting assets from inflation.” The fact that one of the biggest names in global finance is supporting the role of BTC could be a significant signal for its adoption. *This is not investment advice.

EUR/GBP softens to near 0.8650 amid no progress on Russia-Ukraine peace deal

EUR/GBP softens to near 0.8650 amid no progress on Russia-Ukraine peace deal

The post EUR/GBP softens to near 0.8650 amid no progress on Russia-Ukraine peace deal appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/GBP weakens to near 0.8660 in Monday’s early European session.  The upbeat flash UK PMI data support the Pound Sterling.  ECB’s Lagarde said the Europe labor market is in surprisingly good condition.  The EUR/GBP cross loses ground to around 0.8660 during the early European session on Monday. A slew of better-than-expected UK economic data provides some support to the Pound Sterling (GBP) against the Euro (EUR). Traders will take more cues from the IFO Survey from Germany for fresh impetus, which will be released later on Monday.  The upbeat preliminary UK S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data for August and hot UK July inflation data diminish the odds of the Bank of England (BoE) rate cuts this year. This, in turn, boosts the GBP and acts as a headwind for the cross. Data published this week showed that the UK Composite PMI increased at a faster-than-expected rate to 53.0 owing to strong growth in the services sector.  Meanwhile, the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for July revealed that both headline and core CPI rose at a faster-than-expected rate of 3.8% year on year. The UK central bank cut the interest rates from 4.25% to 4.0% earlier this month as the UK central bank resumed what it describes as a “gradual and careful” approach to monetary easing. A quarter-point cut is not fully priced in until March 2026.   On the Euro front, the lack of progress in Russia-Ukraine negotiations weighs on the shared currency. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said over the weekend that there was no agenda for such a summit. “Putin is ready to meet with Zelenskyy when the agenda would be ready for a summit. And this agenda is not ready at all,” he said. Persistent conflict between Russia and Ukraine implies higher energy costs and increases geopolitical uncertainty…

Bitcoin Becomes Wall Street’s Favorite Wild Card

Bitcoin Becomes Wall Street’s Favorite Wild Card

The post Bitcoin Becomes Wall Street’s Favorite Wild Card appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin delivered 135% returns in 2024 while the S&P 500 managed a respectable 25%. Yet professional investors aren’t running from the notorious volatility that has long defined cryptocurrency markets. Instead, they’re embracing it at unprecedented scale, fundamentally reshaping how institutional portfolios approach risk and return. The numbers tell a remarkable story of transformation. Institutional Bitcoin ETF holdings surged 48.8% year-over-year, reaching 1.86 million BTC by August 2025. More striking: 59% of institutional investors now allocate at least 10% of their portfolios to digital assets, making crypto adoption mainstream rather than experimental. This shift reflects more than yield chasing. It represents a fundamental recalibration of how sophisticated investors think about volatility, correlation, and hedging in modern portfolios. The Volatility Reality Check Bitcoin’s reputation for extreme price swings remains well-earned, but the gap with traditional assets is narrowing in unexpected ways. Bitcoin’s annualized volatility averaged 35.5% in 2024, roughly 4.5 times higher than the S&P 500’s 7.9%. However, during certain stress periods, this relationship flipped dramatically. In April 2025, seven-day realized volatility showed Bitcoin at 83% while the S&P 500 spiked to 169% during political and economic shocks. The reversal wasn’t an anomaly but a signal that Bitcoin’s volatility profile is maturing while traditional markets face new instabilities. Individual stock comparisons reveal even more dramatic shifts. Tesla’s implied volatility ranges between 44-61%, often exceeding Bitcoin’s recent levels. Netflix sits at 33% volatility, while Meta maintains the lowest readings at 20-25%. Bitcoin now trades within the volatility band of major tech stocks rather than occupying its own extreme category. Institutional Money Floods In The ETF revolution transformed Bitcoin from a speculative asset into institutional infrastructure. Bitcoin ETF inflows in 2025 have already surpassed 2024’s total, reaching $14.83 billion as renewed investor appetite coincided with price rallies. BlackRock’s IBIT became the fastest ETF to…

Crypto Asset Management Giant Grayscale Prepares to Add Another Essential Altcoin to Its Portfolio! Here Are the Details

Crypto Asset Management Giant Grayscale Prepares to Add Another Essential Altcoin to Its Portfolio! Here Are the Details

The post Crypto Asset Management Giant Grayscale Prepares to Add Another Essential Altcoin to Its Portfolio! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto asset management giant Grayscale Investments has moved to add a new product to its portfolio. Grayscale Files New Trust Application for Avalanche (AVAX) The company announced that it has filed an S-1 registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This filing covers the creation of a new investment vehicle called Grayscale Avalanche Trust (AVAX). Grayscale plans to list Avalanche Trust on the Nasdaq stock exchange. The primary goal of this product is to track Avalanche (AVAX) price performance and provide institutional and individual investors with access to AVAX through traditional market infrastructure. Coinbase Custody Trust Company will handle the custody of the new fund. Coinbase, Inc. will also serve as the prime broker for transaction management. Grayscale aims to increase investor confidence by partnering with leading institutions for security and transparency. With the recent surge in institutional demand, interest in traditional investment vehicles for crypto assets has also been rapidly growing. Grayscale’s previous Bitcoin and Ethereum-based trust products have attracted significant market interest and served as a key gateway for institutional investors into crypto. If granted SEC approval, the Grayscale Avalanche Trust could significantly increase AVAX’s visibility among institutional investors by establishing a new bridge between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem. This move also strengthens trust in the Avalanche ecosystem. *This is not investment advice. Follow our Telegram and Twitter account now for exclusive news, analytics and on-chain data!

Strategy and Metaplanet collectively control 651,448 BTC worth $72.6B after surprise $367M buy

Strategy and Metaplanet collectively control 651,448 BTC worth $72.6B after surprise $367M buy

The post Strategy and Metaplanet collectively control 651,448 BTC worth $72.6B after surprise $367M buy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Corporate demand for Bitcoin continues despite its volatile price performance, as Strategy and Metaplanet both expanded their holdings in late August. On Aug. 25, the two companies announced that they acquired more than 3,100 BTC, reflecting how institutional treasuries directly reduce available supply and shape market liquidity. Strategy’s first major purchase in August Strategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, confirmed on Aug. 25 that it purchased 3,081 BTC for $356.9 million. The firm said it paid an average of $115,829 per coin, using proceeds from recent sales of its Class A common stock and preferred share offerings. This acquisition raised Strategy’s total stash to 632,457 BTC, accumulated at a cost of roughly $46.5 billion. The company’s average purchase price now stands at $73,527 per Bitcoin. At current market levels, those holdings are valued at nearly $70.56 billion, equating to a profit margin of around 51.7%. The move represents Strategy’s most significant buy this month, following smaller acquisitions of 155 BTC and 430 BTC earlier in August. It also reinforced the firm’s strategy of steadily building reserves amid heightened volatility. Year-to-date, Strategy’s Bitcoin position has delivered a yield of 25.4%. Metaplanet adds 103 BTC, joins FTSE Japan Index Meanwhile, Tokyo-based Metaplanet, often compared to Strategy for its aggressive treasury strategy, revealed that it acquired 103 BTC for roughly ¥1.736 billion ($11.8 million). The coins were bought at an average price of ¥16.86 million per BTC. With this addition, Metaplanet’s reserves climbed to 18,991 BTC, purchased at an aggregate cost exceeding $1.9 billion. Based on current market prices, those holdings are worth approximately $2.12 billion, giving the company a profit margin near 9%. The announcement coincided with the firm’s inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index. In an X post, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated: “Metaplanet has been added to the…
