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.

Bitcoin Price Nears $113,500 Amid a Fresh US Sell-Off

The post Bitcoin Price Nears $113,500 Amid a Fresh US Sell-Off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key points: Bitcoin selling pressure increases as US stocks dip at the Wall Street open. BTC price almost hits $113,500 as over $100 million in longs gets liquidated in an hour. ETF flows are now key as onchain fundamentals start “weakening.” Bitcoin (BTC) fell to near two-week lows at Tuesday’s Wall Street open as US selling pressure surged. BTC/USD one-hour chart.

Bitcoin and altcoins fell with US stocks, with the Nasdaq Composite Index down 1.2% at the time of writing. Long BTC positions, subject to an ongoing squeeze, added another $116 million to their liquidation tally in an hour.

It was placed to heard liquidity upward.

Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out

Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out

The post Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kenneth Rogoff, professor of economics at Harvard University, has taken to the X social media network to address his awful Bitcoin call, which recently went viral on social media.  He has outlined the main reasons why his prediction went so terribly wrong, with the lack of “sensible” regulation being one of them.  $100,000 instead of $100 In March 2018, Rogoff told CNBC that Bitcoin was “a lot more likely” to plunge to $100 than surge to $10,000 a decade from then.  The economist insisted that the cryptocurrency was being primarily used for laundering money and evading taxes, arguing that it failed to gain significant traction as a transaction vehicle.  Back then, the esteemed Harvard professor, who has published several influential papers, argued that a global regulatory crackdown would make the price of the cryptocurrency plunge lower.  Back then, the cryptocurrency was coming off a massive bull run that propelled its price to nearly $20,000. In May 2018, however, the cryptocurrency was trading at just roughly $11,000 after a substantial correction. It went on to plunge to $3,112 in December 2018 following a truly brutal bear market.  You Might Also Like Fast-forward to 2025, however, Bitcoin is now trading at $113,260 after recently reaching a new record high of $124,128. Key reasons behind this terrible call  While addressing his horrible Bitcoin price prediction, Rogoff admitted that he was “far too optimistic” about the US “coming to its senses” about the necessity to rein in crypto with “sensible” regulation.  He also claims that he did not expect Bitcoin to compete with fiat currencies as a transaction medium.  Finally, he never expects regulators to fully embrace crypto while allegedly ignoring conflicts of interest.  So, where is Bitcoin heading next?  As reported by U.Today, commodity trader Peter Brandt previously claimed that there was a…

USD/CHF turns sideways below 0.8100 as focus shifts to Jackson Hole Symposium

USD/CHF turns sideways below 0.8100 as focus shifts to Jackson Hole Symposium

The post USD/CHF turns sideways below 0.8100 as focus shifts to Jackson Hole Symposium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF consolidates around 0.8080 as investors await Jackson Hole Symposium. Traders are confident that the Fed will cut interest rates in September. Investors await flash US S&P Global PMI for August, and Swiss Trade  Balance data for July. The USD/CHF pair trades in a tight range marginally below 0.8100 during the late Asian trading session on Wednesday. The Swiss Franc pair has been trading sideways from a week as investors await Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole (JH) Symposium, which is scheduled on Friday. Investors will pay close attention to Jerome Powell’s speech to get cues about whether the Fed will cut interest rates in the September monetary policy meeting. According to the CME FedWatch tool, there is an almost 85% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.00%-4.25% in the September meeting. Contrary to market expectations, Fed Powell has been guiding a “wait and see” approach, citing that the United States (US) central bank is still unable to gauge the overall impact of tariffs on inflation and the economy. During the press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades steadily near the weekly high around 98.00. Going forward, investors will focus on the preliminary US S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data for August, which will be published on Thursday. In Switzerland, investors will focus on Trade Balance data for July, which is scheduled to be released on Thursday. Economic Indicator Fed’s Chair Powell speech Jerome H. Powell took office as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on May 25, 2012, to fill an unexpired term.

USD/CAD rises to fresh three-month highs near 1.3900

The post USD/CAD rises to fresh three-month highs near 1.3900 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD appreciates ahead of the Fed’s July Meeting Minutes due on Wednesday. The US Dollar receives support from Ukraine-Russia peace hopes. The Canadian Dollar fell after softer inflation data reinforced dovish expectations for the BoC’s policy outlook. USD/CAD continues to gain ground for the second successive day, trading around 1.3870 during the Asian hours on Wednesday. The pair appreciates as the US Dollar (USD) gains ground ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Minutes for the July meeting. Traders will shift their focus to the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium due on Thursday, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on a September policy decision. The Greenback receives support from further geopolitical developments. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that plans for a bilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are now underway, according to CNN. US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that there won’t be American troops on the ground to help enforce a potential peace deal in Ukraine. The terms of security guarantees are still being negotiated between the US, European partners, and Ukraine. The USD/CAD pair faced challenges as the Canadian Dollar (CAD) weakened, as softer inflation data from Canada, released on Tuesday, boosted dovish sentiment surrounding the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) policy outlook. Canada’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.7% year-over-year in July, compared to 1.9% in June. This figure aligned with expectations. Meanwhile, the CPI climbed by 0.3%, an uptick from the 0.1% increase seen in the previous month. The core CPI, which excludes volatile elements like food and energy, increased 2.6% YoY and 0.1% MoM.

Analytics Firm Warns: If Bitcoin Falls Below This Level, Fear and Pessimism Could Be Triggered in the Market

Analytics Firm Warns: If Bitcoin Falls Below This Level, Fear and Pessimism Could Be Triggered in the Market

The post Analytics Firm Warns: If Bitcoin Falls Below This Level, Fear and Pessimism Could Be Triggered in the Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency analysis firm Alphractal has published a compelling analysis of the Bitcoin market. The analysis suggests that Short-Term Investors (STIs) have recently begun accumulating Bitcoin non-strategically and at relatively high levels. According to the company’s data, the Realized Price for short-term investors has now exceeded $107,000. This group of investors, who have been accumulating Bitcoin since 2022, is facing a much more complex situation this cycle compared to previous periods. Alphractal explained that investors are buying at higher prices, thus widening their margin of loss. The analysis warned that a drop below $107,000 could trigger new market pessimism. Alphractal noted that many exchanges have large liquidation pools below this level. Highly leveraged long positions, in particular, would be more vulnerable to this risk. The company described the recent $124,000 move as a “classic bull trap,” noting that it was market makers hunting for liquidity. According to the analysis, investors who opened long positions are increasingly feeling the pressure. “A drop below $107,000 could trigger widespread fear and negativity. However, historically, these conditions have also brought about the most opportune times for strategic accumulation,” Alphractal said. *This is not investment advice.

Gold hits three-week low amid firmer USD, Russia-Ukraine peace hopes

Gold hits three-week low amid firmer USD, Russia-Ukraine peace hopes

The post Gold hits three-week low amid firmer USD, Russia-Ukraine peace hopes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold price continues to lose ground on Wednesday amid some follow-through USD buying. Diminishing odds for a jumbo Fed rate cut boost the USD and weigh on the precious metal. Hopes for a Russia-Ukraine deal further drive flows away from the safe-haven commodity. Gold (XAU/USD) hits a nearly three-week low during the Asian session on Wednesday, with the bears now awaiting a sustained break below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) before positioning for further losses. The US Dollar (USD) is seen prolonging its steady uptrend for the third straight day amid diminishing odds for a more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, in turn, is seen as a key factor undermining the non-yielding bullion. Apart from this, hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal exert additional downward pressure on the safe-haven Gold. Moving ahead, investors now look to the release of the FOMC meeting Minutes. Furthermore, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium could offer fresh cues about the central bank’s policy outlook. This will play a key role in driving the USD demand in the near term and determining the next leg of a directional move for the commodity. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold bears have the upper hand amid firmer USD; hopes for Russia-Ukraine peace deal Traders continue to price out the possibility of a jumbo interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, pushing the US Dollar to its highest level in more than a week and dragging the Gold price to a three-week low on Wednesday. This follows last Thursday’s release of hotter US Producer Price Index, which rose in July at the fastest monthly pace since 2022 and indicated a gain of momentum in price pressures. Diplomatic efforts to end the protracted Russia-Ukraine war picked up pace this…

GBP/USD attracts sellers for the third straight day

GBP/USD attracts sellers for the third straight day

The post GBP/USD attracts sellers for the third straight day appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. GBP/USD Price Forecast: Slides below mid-1.3400s, over one-week low ahead of UK CPI The GBP/USD pair drifts lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday – also marking the fourth day of a negative move in the previous five – and drops to an over one-week low during the Asian session. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.3475 region, down 0.10% for the day amid some follow-through US Dollar (USD) buying and ahead of the UK consumer inflation figures. From a technical perspective, last week’s failure ahead of the 1.3600 mark constituted the formation of a bearish double-top chart pattern. A subsequent fall below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent rally from the 1.3140 area, or the lowest level since mid-April, touched earlier this month, backs the case for further losses. However, positive oscillators on the daily chart warrant some caution. Read more… GBP/USD eases ahead of bloated data docket GBP/USD eased lower on Tuesday, edging back below 1.3500 as Cable traders await a reason to make a move. The trading week opened up with little of note on the economic data docket, leaving markets to react to headline flows that remained constrained. All of that changes beginning on Wednesday. The United Kingdom’s (UK) latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation figures will be released during the upcoming London market session, followed by the latest interest rate decision meeting minutes from the Federal Reserve (Fed) during the New York market hours.

What’s next for Bitcoin price as retail sentiment flips bearish?

What’s next for Bitcoin price as retail sentiment flips bearish?

The post What’s next for Bitcoin price as retail sentiment flips bearish? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin price dips to $113,000, dragging the crypto market lower and pushing retail sentiment to its weakest level in weeks. Summary Crypto market cap slid to $3.8T, with Bitcoin 8.5% off ATH. Derivatives show risk reduction, as volume rises but open interest falls. Retail turns fearful, but whales and ETFs continue to add BTC. Bitcoin’s price (BTC) has slipped to $113,646 at press time, marking a 1.2% daily loss, a 5% decline in the past week, and a 4% drop over 30 days. The move leaves the asset 8.5% below its all-time high of $124,128, reached on Aug. 14. The downturn was mirrored in investor mood, as the Fear & Greed Index dropped 12 points in a single day, from 56 to 44, sliding back into “Fear” territory. Derivatives activity was mixed. 24-hour trading volume rose 6.23% to $83.7 billion, while open interest slipped 0.77% to $80.36 billion, as per Coinglass data. Rising volume alongside falling open interest often suggests short-term churn and position closing, rather than fresh conviction, implying traders are reducing risk while volatility picks up. Sentiment turns negative but Bitcoin whales accumulate According to an Aug. 20 update from Santiment, retail traders have shifted to their most bearish sentiment since June 22, when war concerns triggered widespread selling. Because markets often move against the crowd, analysts pointed out that historically, this kind of pessimism has preceded price recoveries. 😨 Retail traders have done a complete 180 after Bitcoin has failed to rally and dipped below $113K. The past 24 hours have marked the most bearish sentiment seen on social media since the June 22nd fears of war caused a cascade of panic sells. 🩸 Historically, this negative… pic.twitter.com/UYKOpWoOkn — Santiment (@santimentfeed) August 20, 2025 In contrast to retail behavior, large holders remain active.

Australian Dollar weakens as PBOC holds rates, US Dollar gains ahead of FOMC Minutes

Australian Dollar weakens as PBOC holds rates, US Dollar gains ahead of FOMC Minutes

The post Australian Dollar weakens as PBOC holds rates, US Dollar gains ahead of FOMC Minutes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Australian Dollar holds losses after the People’s Bank of China decided to leave its Loan Prime Rates unchanged. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that discussions between Washington and Beijing are progressing smoothly. Trump said that the US will not deploy troops to enforce a potential Ukraine peace deal. The Australian Dollar (AUD) edges lower against the US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday, extending its losses for the third consecutive session. The AUD/USD pair remains subdued after the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced to leave its one- and five-year Loan Prime Rates (LPRs) unchanged at 3.00% and 3.50%, respectively. 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). Bessent further noted that the current arrangement with China is highly effective, as the country remains the largest contributor to tariff revenue. The AUD/USD pair also struggles as the US Dollar (USD) extends its gains amid geopolitical developments. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that plans for a bilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are now underway, according to CNN. Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar strengthens on Ukraine-Russia peace hopes The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar against six major currencies, is gaining ground for the third successive day and trading around 98.30 at the time of writing. The US Federal Reserve’s Minutes for the July meeting will be eyed later in the North American session. Traders will shift their focus toward the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium due on Thursday, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on a September policy decision.

Euro extends downside below 1.1650 ahead of ECB’s Lagarde speech

Euro extends downside below 1.1650 ahead of ECB’s Lagarde speech

The post Euro extends downside below 1.1650 ahead of ECB’s Lagarde speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD softens to around 1.1635 in Wednesday’s early European session.  Traders await the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium on Friday to see whether Powell pushes back on rate cut bets.  A possible agreement to legitimize or end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine might cap the pair’s downside.  The EUR/USD pair extends the decline to near 1.1635 during the early European trading hours on Wednesday. The US Dollar (USD) strengthens against the Euro (EUR) as traders await the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) annual Jackson Hole symposium later on Friday for clues on the US interest rate path. A weak US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report earlier this month and cool Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data raised the odds for a Fed cut on September 17. Nonetheless, a hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) reading last week complicated the Fed’s policy picture.  Traders pared bets on a rate cut at the US Federal Reserve (Fed) at the September meeting, providing some support to the Greenback. Financial markets have priced in nearly 84% odds of such reductions and anticipate about 54 basis points (bps) of rate cuts by year-end. The speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell will take center stage on Friday as traders will keep an eye on any pushback against market pricing of a rate cut next month. If Powell leans dovish on interest rates, this might drag the USD lower and act as a tailwind for the major pair.  Across the pond, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) President Christine Lagarde speech will be the highlight on Wednesday. The remarks from ECB policymakers might offer some hints about the interest rate outlook in the Eurozone. Forward contracts on the ECB’s official overnight benchmark interest rate, the euro short-term rate (ESTR), imply around a 60% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut (bps) by March and a deposit rate of 1.92%…
