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.

S&P 500 fell for the fifth straight day ahead of Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech

S&P 500 fell for the fifth straight day ahead of Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech

The US stock market fell again on Thursday, dragging major indexes deeper into red territory as investors brace for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks this Friday at the central bank’s annual gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The S&P 500 fell 0.4%, closing at 6,370.17, its fifth straight day of losses. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.34% to end at 21,100.31, and the Dow Jones dropped 152.81 points, or 0.34%, closing at 44,785.50. Powell’s Friday appearance could bring a signal on what’s next for monetary policy, especially as inflation pressures stay hot. Traders on CME’s FedWatch tool have priced in a 74% chance that the Fed will lower rates at its September meeting. Retail investors pull back as tech giants lose steam For the first time in two months, retail investors flipped to the sell side. Data compiled by JPMorgan strategists revealed that mom-and-pop investors offloaded roughly $140 million in tech stocks just in the past week. That’s a big reversal after weeks of daily buying averaging over $1 billion a day. The pullback comes as megacap tech stocks, the heavy hitters like Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon, all slid through the week. Their losses were enough to pull the entire market down. The S&P 500 lost 0.8%, and the Nasdaq dropped 2.1% during the same stretch. Palantir, a darling among retail traders, tumbled more than 13% over the week. Tom Essaye, founder of The Sevens Report, wrote that tech had been carrying the market for years, but valuations had gotten way out of hand. “Investors have benefited greatly from the impressive performance of the tech sector, not only so far in 2025, but also over the past several years,” Tom said. He didn’t hold back about Palantir, calling it a perfect example of inflated expectations: “Palantir (PLTR), a stock that is the best performer in the S&P 500 YTD, also trades at a quasi-absurd 212X forward earnings.” Even with this retreat, retail investors haven’t ditched the market entirely. They’re stepping away from the overheated tech names, but they haven’t left the game. They’re just not buying blindly anymore. Trump increases pressure on Powell ahead of Fed speech As Powell prepares to speak, pressure is coming from more than just Wall Street. President Donald Trump has been relentlessly criticizing Powell and the Fed, pushing hard for lower rates. That part’s familiar. But now it’s gotten personal. Earlier this summer, the White House went after the Fed over its massive renovation project at its Washington, D.C. headquarters. Around that same time, Trump floated the idea of removing Powell altogether, but eventually backed off. This week, Trump’s administration turned its attention to Fed Governor Lisa Cook, accusing her of mortgage fraud involving two government-backed loans. It’s a shift from monetary complaints to personal accusations. All of it puts Powell in a political storm heading into his Jackson Hole remarks. Despite the noise, Powell is expected to keep his tone steady. That’s been his style for more than seven years. Michael Arone, the chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors, said Powell stays focused on the Fed’s responsibilities: “He’s done a good job in terms of keeping the Fed’s independence, ignoring the noise and some of the questions he gets, and keeping it focused on the data dependency and the Fed’s dual mandate.” Michael added that Powell “has taken the high road as it relates to the Fed’s independence and some of the pressure he’s clearly getting from the Trump administration.” Even if Powell doesn’t name names in his Friday speech, there’s a chance he nods to the chaos. The last few months have put the Fed under intense scrutiny, both from political attacks and from the market itself. The Fed chair may use the stage to push back subtly, without breaking from his usual calm public face. Get seen where it counts.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Reveals Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction!

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Reveals Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction!

The post Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Reveals Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a downward trend in recent days. Last week, it dropped below $113,000 after hitting a new ATH of $124,000. While analysts warn that the weakness in Bitcoin may continue, important statements came from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. In an interview with John Collison on the “Cheeky Pint” podcast, the Coinbase CEO predicted that Bitcoin will reach $1 million by 2030. Brian Armstrong based his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1 million on key factors such as regulatory clarity, the US government’s BTC strategic reserve, and growing interest in cryptocurrency ETFs. At this point, Armstrong, who described the US as “a pioneer for the rest of the G20” on Bitcoin, also mentioned the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. “If you had asked about the Bitcoin reserve issue five years ago, they would probably have told you you were crazy, that the US government would not officially hold Bitcoin,” the famous CEO said. The Coinbase CEO also advised institutions to allocate 5-10% of their portfolios to cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin. He added that he believes Bitcoin is superior to gold in terms of reserve holdings. ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood said in February that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030 in her company’s “Bull Mode” forecast. *This is not investment advice.

Maestro’s Real-Time Indexing Supercharges Liquidium’s Bitcoin Lending Platform

Maestro’s Real-Time Indexing Supercharges Liquidium’s Bitcoin Lending Platform

The post Maestro’s Real-Time Indexing Supercharges Liquidium’s Bitcoin Lending Platform appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new partnership between Bitcoin infrastructure firm Maestro and lending protocol Liquidium has injected unprecedented speed and precision into Bitcoin’s emerging DeFi ecosystem (referred to as ‘BTCFi’).  To elaborate, Maestro’s enterprise-grade indexing and real-time mempool tracking services will now power Liquidium’s lending protocols, enabling near-instant reactions (for on-chain events) as well as unlocking lending/borrowing directly on Bitcoin’s base layer.  To date, Liquidium’s flagship Bitcoin-native lending platform ‘LiquidiumWTF’ has facilitated over 4,230 BTC (roughly $500 million) in loans using Bitcoin-centric assets (including Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens) as collateral, proving that such inscribed assets, too, can be put to productive use rather than left idle in wallets.  That said, supporting such a novel market requires live access to accurate asset data and real-time transaction status. That’s where Maestro comes in, providing a digital infrastructure that can keep Liquidium updated on pending transactions and the latest state of the network, allowing it to execute loans and manage collateral with lightning-fast precision. On the development, Peter Giammanco, Liquidium co-founder and CTO, was quoted as saying: “We’ve only been using Maestro for two months, but it’s already saved us what amounts to 100% of the time and resources we would’ve spent building our own infrastructure. It’s hard to overstate the speed boost it’s given our dev cycle.”   From instant BTC loans to cross-chain lending without bridges With Maestro handling much of the backend heavy lifting, Liquidium has been able to rapidly expand its capabilities on Bitcoin’s L1 and beyond. Its primary protocol, LiquidiumWTF, recently rolled out an ‘Instant Loans’ feature, allowing users to borrow BTC within seconds. To make this possible, lenders have to pre-fund on-chain vaults so that liquidity can be tapped into almost immediately without having to wait for a counterparty.  Furthermore, Liquidium’s second protocol, LiquidiumFi, is pushing the envelope of cross-chain…

-80% in 24 hours for the stock

-80% in 24 hours for the stock

The post -80% in 24 hours for the stock appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suspension from Nasdaq for Windtree Therapeutics (ticker WINT), due to non-compliance with listing requirements and accompanied by an intraday collapse of –80%, has sparked strong fears among investors and raised questions about the recent initiative of treasury in BNB (initial commitment of $60 million with potential up to $200 million), indicating an already fragile financial balance. According to the collected data, the stock went from about $0.48 before the notice to $0.11 at the close on August 21, 2025, confirming the very substantial intraday loss. Industry analysts monitoring small-cap biotech companies note that similar situations typically lead to a compression of capitalization and a significant reduction in liquidity in the first weeks following the delisting. { “lineWidth”: 2, “lineType”: 0, “chartType”: “candlesticks”, “showVolume”: true, “fontColor”: “rgb(106, 109, 120)”, “gridLineColor”: “rgba(242, 242, 242, 0.06)”, “volumeUpColor”: “rgba(34, 171, 148, 0.5)”, “volumeDownColor”: “rgba(247, 82, 95, 0.5)”, “backgroundColor”: “#0F0F0F”, “widgetFontColor”: “#DBDBDB”, “upColor”: “#22ab94”, “downColor”: “#f7525f”, “borderUpColor”: “#22ab94”, “borderDownColor”: “#f7525f”, “wickUpColor”: “#22ab94”, “wickDownColor”: “#f7525f”, “colorTheme”: “dark”, “isTransparent”: false, “locale”: “en”, “chartOnly”: false, “scalePosition”: “right”, “scaleMode”: “Normal”, “fontFamily”: “-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Trebuchet MS, Roboto, Ubuntu, sans-serif”, “valuesTracking”: “1”, “changeMode”: “price-and-percent”, “symbols”: [ [ “BOATS:WINT|1D” ] ], “dateRanges”: [ “1d|1”, “1m|30”, “3m|60”, “12m|1D”, “60m|1W”, “all|1M” ], “fontSize”: “10”, “headerFontSize”: “medium”, “autosize”: false, “width”: 800, “height”: 400, “noTimeScale”: false, “hideDateRanges”: false, “hideMarketStatus”: false, “hideSymbolLogo”: false } What happened to Windtree (WINT): delisting from Nasdaq for failing to meet the minimum price The biotech company based in Pennsylvania received the delisting notice for failing to meet the minimum bid price of 1 dollar, as required by the rule Nasdaq 5550(a)(2).

Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   Eerder deze maand leek iedereen vertrouwen te hebben in een renteverlaging volgende maand vanuit de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Daar is de markt nu niet meer zo zeker van, en dat zien we terug in de kwakkelende koersen. Investeerders lijken zich voor te bereiden op een teleurstelling, maar hopen stiekem dat ons morgen een verrassing te wachten staat. Renteverlaging is nog steeds de verwachting Morgen houdt voorzitter van de Amerikaanse centrale bank Jerome Powell een toespraak op een conferentie in Jackson Hole. De bank heeft de beleidsrente al het hele jaar stabiel gehouden, maar voor het eerst verwacht de markt dat de economie gestimuleerd wordt (goedkopere leningen zorgen voor meer vraag in de economie). Het vertrouwen in een renteverlaging heeft alles te maken met de slechte banencijfers die aan het begin van de maand naar buiten werden gebracht. In juli kwamen er veel minder banen bij dan verwacht en ook de cijfers van mei en juni werden fors naar beneden bijgesteld. Het zou een teken kunnen zijn dat de Amerikaanse economie richting een recessie beweegt, en dus knalde de kans op een renteverlaging de lucht in. Vorige week dinsdag kwam ook nog eens de consumentenprijsindex (CPI) lager binnen dan verwacht, waardoor op een gegeven moment de hele futuresmarkt een renteverlaging verwachtte. Een dag later zwakte het optimisme af toen de producentenprijsindex (PPI) flink teleurstelde met hogere cijfers. Sindsdien houden steeds meer mensen rekening met opnieuw een rentepauze. Momenteel houdt 71,3 procent van de futuresmarkt rekening met een renteverlaging van 0,25 procent, zo laten gegevens van CME Group zien. Dat is nog steeds een dikke meerderheid, maar het percentage is dus rap gedaald de afgelopen tijd. De notulen van de laatste rentevergadering hebben daar ook aan bijgedragen. De meerderheid ziet de opwaartse inflatierisico’s als groter dan het risico op een zwakkere werkgelegenheid. Goed om te melden is dat de vergadering na de zwakke banencijfers plaatsvond. Alle ogen naar morgenmiddag Toch lijkt de markt zich al in te dekken voor een tegenvaller. Ondertussen gaat de aandacht uit naar de speech van morgen om 16:00 uur. Het meest waarschijnlijke scenario is dat Powell de opties openlaat, aangezien er nog veel nieuwe data op komst is die het besluit van de Fed zal beïnvloeden. Als er wordt gehint naar een verlaging dan zou zich dat waarschijnlijk vertalen in een stijgende bitcoin (BTC) koers. Maar een strenge toon kan juist negatief uitpakken.

Solana and DOGE Gain Ahead of Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech

Solana and DOGE Gain Ahead of Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech

The post Solana and DOGE Gain Ahead of Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin BTC$112,260.47 hovered above $113,600 on Thursday after a slight rebound, with traders watching Powell’s address for clues on whether the central bank is ready to endorse rate cuts in September. Solana’s SOL (SOL) and dogecoin DOGE$0.2149 led gains among majors with a 4% bump. Gains across XRP XRP$2.8788, BNB Chain’s BNB (BNB), ether (ETH) and Tron’s TRX (TRX) remained muted, each rising between 1%-3%. Weakening jobs data has boosted expectations for easing, but tariff-driven inflation remains sticky, leaving risk assets exposed to disappointment. “The Fed faces a difficult balancing act — cut too soon and risk reigniting inflation, wait too long and growth risks deepen,” said Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, said in note to CoinDesk. Sentiment has deteriorated quickly. The fear and greed index plunged to 44 — its lowest in nearly two months — after printing 75 just six days ago. The slide mirrors price action in bitcoin, which briefly dipped to $112,500 earlier this week before finding support near month-to-date lows. A break below $108,000 could open the door to $100,000, some traders warn. “Bitcoin fell to $112,500 in the morning, receiving temporary support when it touched the area of recent lows at the start of the month. At the same time, the day before, sales increased after a decline below the 50-day moving average — a bearish signal,” said Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, in an email. “Now, all attention is focused on whether there will be a pullback to a potentially stronger support area near $108,000. If there is no support there, a straight road to $100,000 will open,” he noted. “The crypto market lost momentum earlier than Nasdaq 100 stocks, regaining its reputation as a more sensitive indicator of investor sentiment,” Kuptsikevich added. On-chain data points to fragility as well.…
