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.

Analysis Company Warns: This Anticipated Economic Event in the US May Affect Altcoins

Analysis Company Warns: This Anticipated Economic Event in the US May Affect Altcoins

The post Analysis Company Warns: This Anticipated Economic Event in the US May Affect Altcoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Delphi Digital reported in its report that the US Treasury Department will begin refilling the General Account (TGA) in the coming weeks and in the process will withdraw $500-600 billion in cash from the market in about two months. The research firm explained that although this step may seem like a routine transaction for the market, it coincides with one of the most fragile liquidity environments of the last decade. It was noted that the $550 billion NPL rollover in 2023 was absorbed by the Fed’s over $2 trillion reverse repo facility, strong bank reserves, and high foreign demand for Treasury bonds. However, according to Delphi Digital, none of these buffers exist today. The Fed’s continued quantitative tightening (QT), the near-exhaustion of reverse repos, banks constrained by capital rules and losses, and the withdrawal of many foreign investors from China to Japan are all increasing market pressure. Therefore, every dollar the Treasury borrows this fall will be directly withdrawn from active market liquidity. The report also highlights risks for cryptocurrency markets. It notes that during periods of liquidity shortages, high-beta assets (e.g., ETH and similar altcoins) tend to experience sharper losses compared to BTC. It also notes that if the supply of stablecoins in particular shrinks, ETH and risky assets could be further pressured during the TGA rollover period. However, it also notes that structural inflows from ETFs or corporate treasuries could offset these risks. Delphi Digital argued that if the stablecoin supply expands, the NPL increase can be better absorbed compared to previous cycles, but if the supply contracts, the liquidity withdrawal will be reflected in the markets more quickly and strongly. *This is not investment advice.

Altcoin Season Set To Begin In Q4, Analyst Says As Index Forms Cup & Handle

Altcoin Season Set To Begin In Q4, Analyst Says As Index Forms Cup & Handle

The post Altcoin Season Set To Begin In Q4, Analyst Says As Index Forms Cup & Handle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Altcoin Index has been hovering around 53, fueling speculation that altcoin season may be near. An analyst on X, Max Crypto, recently forecast that the next cycle would start in Q4. He cited pro-crypto regulation and potential federal rate cuts as major drivers. However, his outlook contrasts with commentary posted by Pulsechaiin on X. As per the analysis, argued that altcoin season will only emerge once markets escape the prevailing macro bear trap. At the same time, technical signals are aligning. The Altcoin Index completed a cup-and-handle pattern, pointing to a potential move toward 100 from its current level of 53. Altcoin Season Will Start in Q4? Once the altcoin season starts in the fourth quarter of 2025, portfolios will hit all-time highs as various cryptocurrencies record 10x to 20x gains, said Max Crypto. Historically, crypto markets have followed a predictable bull cycle where Bitcoin rallies to a new all-time high, investors take profits and the liquidity flows to alternative cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. This period where the money moves from Bitcoin and rotates across altcoins is called the altcoin season. Since Q4 2024, the altcoin index chart has been pointing towards BTC dominance. As per a tweet by Pulsechaiin OG, the market entered into a consolidation period between March and July. That consolidation period launched the largest cryptocurrency to a new all-time high at $124,500. However, the failure to sustain a higher high both this month and in December 2025 when it reached $100,000 is what has delayed the altcoin season. A cup and handle pattern printed on the altcoin season index chart completed the handle last week. According to the analyst, the season is likely to kick off once Bitcoin breaks out of macro bear trap and prints a higher high. Source: X Is this Bull Market Cycle…

Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility

Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Terrill Dicki Aug 19, 2025 08:05 Bitcoin’s price surges to $121K amid improved on-chain activity and derivatives sentiment, but declining spot volumes and profitability raise caution. Explore key BTC market signals for insights. Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a significant rebound in the past week, climbing from a low of $114,000 to $121,000. This recovery was marked by improved on-chain activity and positive sentiment in the derivatives market, according to Glassnode’s latest analysis. Despite this upward momentum, declining spot volumes and high profitability levels suggest a need for caution among investors. Spot and Futures Market Dynamics The spot market observed Bitcoin’s price hitting an all-time high of over $123,000 before pulling back towards $114,000, creating a volatile “air gap.” While trading volumes initially recovered, they were dominated by sellers, signaling a cooling momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also softened, indicating potential market fatigue. In the futures market, open interest surpassed statistical norms, leading to a wave of deleveraging. Despite this, traders continue to pay premiums for long positions, although with diminished confidence. The perpetual contract cumulative volume delta (CVD) reflects this trend, with increased sell-side pressure hinting at elevated risk. Options and ETF Market Movements Options markets have seen a surge in activity, with open interest reaching new highs and volatility spreads widening, indicating increased hedging and speculative actions. The 25-delta skew remains positive, suggesting ongoing demand for downside protection. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have witnessed robust inflows, with more than $880 million entering the market weekly. This influx underscores resilient institutional interest, but the sustainability of these flows remains uncertain amid ongoing price fluctuations. On-Chain Indicators and Profitability While on-chain user activity and fee volumes have softened, the entity-adjusted transfer volume has spiked, pointing to significant capital movements likely driven by volatility.…

Crypto Funds Bleed With Nearly $1B Outflows in BTC and ETH

Crypto Funds Bleed With Nearly $1B Outflows in BTC and ETH

The post Crypto Funds Bleed With Nearly $1B Outflows in BTC and ETH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency investment products expanded their losses on Tuesday, with Bitcoin fund outflows surging more than 300% and Ether losses doubling, both ranking as the second-largest outflows this month. Spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw $523 million in outflows on Tuesday, rising more than fourfold from Monday, according to Farside Investors data. Ether (ETH) ETFs also recorded major losses, with outflows doubling from $200 million on Monday to $422 million. Bitcoin and Ether funds have posted three consecutive days of outflows totaling $1.3 billion, coinciding with sharp price corrections of 8.3% and 10.8%, respectively, since last Wednesday, according to CoinGecko. Fidelity leads outflows with over $400 million Fidelity Investments led yesterday’s losses with outflows of $247 million from its Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and $156 million from the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH), totaling $403 million in daily withdrawals. Grayscale Investments also had substantial withdrawals, with the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) reporting $116 million in outflows and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) shedding $122 million.

Source: Farside.co.uk In contrast, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) experienced no outflows, and the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) recorded only modest outflows of $6 million. Fear & Greed Index slips to “Fear” Although the three-day outflows pale in comparison to the record-breaking inflows for both Bitcoin and Ether funds in 2025, the losses signal a notable shift in investor sentiment amid declining prices. On Wednesday, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index — a tool tracking the overall sentiment of the crypto market — flipped to “Fear,” registering a score of 44. This change followed a prolonged period of optimism, indicating growing caution among investors.

China, the country with the world’s strictest cryptocurrency regulations, signals easing pressure! Here are the details

China, the country with the world’s strictest cryptocurrency regulations, signals easing pressure! Here are the details

The post China, the country with the world’s strictest cryptocurrency regulations, signals easing pressure! Here are the details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China, one of the countries with the strictest cryptocurrency regulations in the world, is preparing for a surprising policy change. China’s Yuan-Backed Stablecoin Move: Policy Change Imminent According to a Reuters report citing sources familiar with the matter, the Chinese government is considering allowing yuan-backed stablecoins. China’s State Council will review a roadmap aimed at increasing global use of the yuan at the end of August, according to sources. This plan reportedly includes introducing yuan-backed stablecoins into international payment systems, in response to the US’s progress in the stablecoin space. If approved, this move would represent a fundamental shift in China’s long-held, hardline stance on cryptocurrencies. As is well known, China completely banned cryptocurrency trading and mining in September 2021. However, reports in recent months indicate that the Beijing government has adopted a more moderate approach, particularly towards stablecoins. In June, a senior official at the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) stated that stablecoins could play a transformative role in global payments systems. This statement fueled calls for their inclusion in regulatory frameworks. Experts emphasize that China’s move could accelerate the internationalization of the yuan and also impact balances in global financial markets. The stablecoin initiative, along with Beijing’s digital yuan project, could become central to its financial strategy. *This is not investment advice.

Palantir’s six-session slump erases $73 billion in value, as short sellers finally win

Palantir’s six-session slump erases $73 billion in value, as short sellers finally win

The post Palantir’s six-session slump erases $73 billion in value, as short sellers finally win appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Palantir just got dragged through six painful days on Wall Street, losing $73 billion in market value and giving short sellers a rare payday after months of losses. This losing streak, which started after the stock hit a record high on August 12, marks the company’s worst run since April 2024. Shares are now down over 17%, putting them on track for the ugliest week since the tariff-driven drop earlier this year. Despite being the biggest loser in the S&P 500 over the last six sessions, Palantir is still the top performer on the index in 2025, holding a 106% gain since the start of the year. That explosive rally led to a sky-high valuation, which most short sellers couldn’t handle. But this latest slide finally gave them room to breathe, and collect. Shorts pocket gains after long beating The decline handed $1.6 billion in profits to traders who bet against the Denver-based company, data from S3 Partners LLC showed. But those profits don’t undo the $4.5 billion in total losses short sellers have suffered this year betting against Palantir. The overall trend had been brutal for contrarians—until now. Matthew Unterman, managing director at S3, said short interest as a percentage of Palantir’s float dropped to 2.5%, down from nearly 5% a year ago. That means many traders had already exited their short positions as the stock kept rising. Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers LLC, said those traders either “wanted to avoid being run over by a monster momentum trade or were forced out after the freight train hit.” Vikram Rai, a portfolio manager and macro trader at Fny Capital Management LP, made it clear that the current drop wasn’t caused by bears taking control. “The selloff that we’re seeing in Palantir, it’s long overdue and it’s not…

Bitcoin Sluggish Demand Blamed for $10K Plunge In a Week

Bitcoin Sluggish Demand Blamed for $10K Plunge In a Week

The post Bitcoin Sluggish Demand Blamed for $10K Plunge In a Week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After hitting a new all-time high just last Thursday, Bitcoin’s price has plummeted by over $10,000 in a week. A new analysis suggests the sharp correction stems from a key factor: a slowdown in demand across the Bitcoin market. Bitcoin Demand Slowing Down Julio Moreno, head of research at on-chain platform CryptoQuant, shared this view in an X post on Wednesday. He stated, “Bitcoin’s overall demand growth slowdown, including purchases from ETFs and Strategy, is behind the current price pause/correction.” Bitcoin’s price had briefly bottomed out on August 1st, when concerns about a recession flared up after a weak US non-farm payrolls report. That same day, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $812 million in net outflows, according to Soso Value data.  Daily Net Inflows/Outflows of U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Source: SoSo Value However, from August 6, when the price rally began, the ETFs recorded seven consecutive days of net inflows. This trend reversed last Thursday with the July Producer Price Index’s release, returning to net outflows. The outflow volume wasn’t very large, yet Bitcoin’s price dropped sharply in comparison. Moreno explained that on-chain demand metrics mirror this exact pattern. He argues that this correction isn’t due to the sudden actions of a single entity like an ETF or MicroStrategy, but rather a widespread decline in demand among most market participants. For example, CryptoQuant’s Apparent Demand metric showed a reading of 147.3703K on August 1, a similar price level. However, on August 20, the same metric had nearly halved to 64.787K.  Bitcoin: Apparent Demand & Bitcoin: Demand Growth. Source: CryptoQuant While Bitcoin’s price surged and then returned to its starting point over the past 15 days, market demand essentially dropped by half. This suggests that if market sentiment doesn’t recover, Bitcoin could face further corrections. The market likely needs a macroeconomic…

Santiment Shares Historical Bottom Signal for Bitcoin (BTC)! “It Happened Two Months Ago!”

Santiment Shares Historical Bottom Signal for Bitcoin (BTC)! “It Happened Two Months Ago!”

The post Santiment Shares Historical Bottom Signal for Bitcoin (BTC)! “It Happened Two Months Ago!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin fell below $113,000, hitting a 17-day low, and retail crypto investors were also bearish. At this point, analysts at cryptocurrency analysis platform Santiment said that retail investors are going with the market flow after Bitcoin failed to recover and fell below $113,000. Over the past 24 hours, retail investors have displayed their worst bearish sentiment on Bitcoin on social media in almost two months, data shows. On this point, Santiment noted that the last time such a strong negative trend occurred was on June 22, when the US launched airstrikes on Iran due to the Israeli conflict. Santiment noted that market sentiment has entered the “crowd-threat” zone, a positive sign for patient investors waiting for an opportunity to buy or add. In context, analysts emphasized that such market conditions signal that a positive recovery for Bitcoin is imminent. Santiment analysts stated that the market moved contrary to their expectations and said the downward trend was an opportunity and said, “You can buy when fear is at its peak.” In particular, Bitcoin’s reaction to a similar event two months ago further reinforces the narrative that Bitcoin has bottomed out. On June 22nd, when the market entered a severe bearish period, BTC fell to $98,330. However, it subsequently recovered 26% from the decline to reach its current all-time high. *This is not investment advice.

Git 2.51: New Features and Enhancements Unveiled

Git 2.51: New Features and Enhancements Unveiled

The post Git 2.51: New Features and Enhancements Unveiled appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Caroline Bishop Aug 19, 2025 07:05 Git 2.51 introduces significant updates including cruft-free multi-pack indexes, smaller packs with path walk, and a stash interchange format, enhancing repository performance and flexibility. Git, the widely-used version control system, has released its latest update, Git 2.51, offering a suite of new features aimed at enhancing performance and flexibility, according to GitHub. This release includes significant updates such as cruft-free multi-pack indexes, smaller packs with path walk, and a new stash interchange format. Cruft-free Multi-pack Indexes The new version introduces a refined approach to multi-pack indexes (MIDXs), a mechanism that allows for efficient object lookup across multiple packfiles. This update focuses on separating unreachable objects into cruft packs, thus optimizing the reachability bitmap’s efficiency. The repack.MIDXMustContainCruft configuration is a new addition, ensuring that cruft packs are stored outside the MIDX, resulting in faster repository reads and smaller MIDXs. Smaller Packs with Path Walk Git 2.51 enhances packfile generation by introducing the path walk approach. Instead of relying on name-hash heuristics, this method emits all objects from a specific path simultaneously, leading to significantly smaller packs. This update improves delta compression efficiency and offers competitive timings compared to traditional methods. Stash Interchange Format The update also addresses the challenge of migrating stash entries between machines by introducing a new stash interchange format. This format allows multiple stash entries to be treated as a sequence of commits, enabling easier export and import of stash entries, much like branches or tags. Additional Updates Git 2.51 includes various other improvements, such as enhanced output for git cat-file and expanded support for changed-path Bloom filters, which optimize pathspec-scoped history traversals. Additionally, the git switch and git restore commands are now stable, moving out of their experimental phase. For a comprehensive overview…

Status quo with China is working very well

Status quo with China is working very well

The post Status quo with China is working very well appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said late Monday that the talks between the United States (US) and China are going well, adding that he expects US growth to pick up in the fourth quarter (Q4).  Key quotes The US has had very good talks with China. The status quo with China is working very well. Expects the US economy to pick up in Q4. 2026 could be a booming year for the economy. Acknowledged there are some distributional problems in the economy. China is the largest revenue source in tariff income. Market reaction At the time of writing, the AUD/USD pair is trading 0.02% lower on the day to trade at 0.6450. US-China Trade War FAQs Generally speaking, a trade war is an economic conflict between two or more countries due to extreme protectionism on one end. It implies the creation of trade barriers, such as tariffs, which result in counter-barriers, escalating import costs, and hence the cost of living. An economic conflict between the United States (US) and China began early in 2018, when President Donald Trump set trade barriers on China, claiming unfair commercial practices and intellectual property theft from the Asian giant. China took retaliatory action, imposing tariffs on multiple US goods, such as automobiles and soybeans. Tensions escalated until the two countries signed the US-China Phase One trade deal in January 2020. The agreement required structural reforms and other changes to China’s economic and trade regime and pretended to restore stability and trust between the two nations. However, the Coronavirus pandemic took the focus out of the conflict. Yet, it is worth mentioning that President Joe Biden, who took office after Trump, kept tariffs in place and even added some additional levies. The return of Donald Trump to the White House as the 47th US President has…
