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.

EUR/USD rebounds as Fed rate cut bets strengthen after PCE

EUR/USD rebounds as Fed rate cut bets strengthen after PCE

The post EUR/USD rebounds as Fed rate cut bets strengthen after PCE appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Core PCE inflation remains under 3%, boosting the probability of Fed rate cuts to nearly 90% into year-end. Dovish Fed voices highlight a fragile labor market, and Barkin warns that inflation and unemployment trends remain concerning. Euro steadies despite NATO–Russia tensions, with traders eyeing US jobs data and upcoming Eurozone inflation prints. EUR/USD recovers on Friday as traders’ confidence rises that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will reduce interest rates after the release of the latest inflation report in the United States (US). At the time of writing, the pair trades at 1.1697, up 0.27%. Euro eyes 1.1700 as softer US inflation fuels confidence in further monetary easing The week ended in a recovery mode for the shared currency after the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, was aligned with estimates, but shy of the 3% threshold. Following the announcement, bets on the Fed reducing borrowing costs increased from 84% the day before to 88%, as revealed by the Prime Market Terminal interest rate probability tool. Federal Reserve officials crossed the wires. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman was dovish as she said that the labor market is fragile and that, should the conditions deteriorate, they would need to adjust policy at a faster pace. Earlier, Richmond Fed Thomas Barkin said both inflation and unemployment are moving in the wrong direction, but the downside is limited. In Europe, a scarce economic docket left traders adrift to geopolitics. Tensions in Europe seem to weigh on the Euro as NATO warned Russia that it is prepared to intercept Russian aircraft. According to Bloomberg, European officials privately told Russia they are ready to shoot down jets and view Russia’s Estonia incursion as deliberate. Next week, the US schedule will feature a…

Wealth effect stock market recession

Wealth effect stock market recession

The post Wealth effect stock market recession appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City, U.S., Sept. 17, 2025. Brendan McDermid | Reuters Stock market growth that seems impervious to tariffs, politics and a moribund jobs picture is in turn powering consumer spending and putting a floor under an economy that many expected to be teetering on the brink of recession by now. Economic data this week painted a surprisingly bright picture of recent trends. Consumer spending in August was stronger than expected and so was income. Companies and households continue to order big-ticket items while inflation has been relatively soft. Even housing showed signs of life, with new sales hitting a three-year high in August. Previously, such trends had been powered by trillions in stimulus from both congressional spending and low interest rates and liquidity injections from the Federal Reserve. But the narrative now is shifting towards the ever-popular wealth effect coming from Wall Street and a succession of new highs in major stock indexes despite lofty valuations. “I do think that goes to the bounce in the stock market and the wealth effect,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said Friday on CNBC. “I think all of the spending is coming from the well-to-do high-income high-net-worth households that are seeing their stock portfolios are up and they’re feeling a lot better off and they’re spending.” Indeed, the market has seen a stair-step climb higher this year, boosted by massive AI spending, no doubt, but also rallying thanks to strength in big industrial companies and communications giants. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained more than 9%, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite is up 23%.

Countdown Begins: Five Potential XRP ETFs Could Define October

Countdown Begins: Five Potential XRP ETFs Could Define October

The post Countdown Begins: Five Potential XRP ETFs Could Define October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The next few weeks heading into October could be significant for XRP and the rest of the cryptocurrency market amid expectations of a potential spot ETF launch for XRP in the U.S. with six applications in the spotlight. According to Nate Geraci, the president of NovaDius Wealth Management, October might be crucial to watch given the recent developments in the last two weeks, including the first ETF offering spot XRP exposure, the SEC approving generic listing standards, the first index-based spot crypto ETF and Vanguard’s U-turn on crypto ETFs. “Get ready for October,” Geraci said. In the past week, the first ETF offering exposure to spot XRP in the U.S., REX-Osprey XRP ETF, XRPR, was launched. Options trading was later added to XRPR ETF this week. This week, Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF was “approved” under SEC’s new generic listing standards, which might include other crypto assets apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, such as XRP. What to expect in October? Between Oct. 18 and 25, the SEC is set to rule on six major spot XRP ETF applications. These include Grayscale XRP ETF (Oct. 18), 21Shares core XRP Trust ETF (Oct. 19), Bitwise XRP ETF (Oct. 22), Canary Capital XRP ETF (Oct. 23), WisdomTree XRP ETF (Oct. 24) and CoinShares XRP ETF (Oct. 23). 🔥 XRP ETFs could bring huge institutional inflows and push $XRP to new ATH $8-$10! 13 Issuers 💵19 Products 🎁 (9 Spot / 9 Futures)10 Live 🟢 | 9 Pending 🔴 pic.twitter.com/GiFEr1IpFr — XRP_Cro 🔥 AI / Gaming / DePIN (@stedas) September 27, 2025 In addition, Ripple’s application for a national bank charter (under review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) is also expected to be decided in October.

goud prijs voorspelling – XAU/USD bereikt $3.809 recordhoogte

goud prijs voorspelling – XAU/USD bereikt $3.809 recordhoogte

Connect met Like-minded Crypto Enthusiasts! Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   De goudprijs heeft opnieuw een historisch hoogtepunt bereikt. Sinds januari 2025 is de waarde met 45% gestegen en noteert XAU/USD inmiddels $3.809 per ounce. Vooral centrale banken en geopolitieke spanningen jagen de vraag op. Voor beleggers op zoek naar zekerheid blijft goud de vanzelfsprekende keuze. Centrale banken en reserves verschuiven Centrale banken spelen dit jaar een hoofdrol. Voor het eerst sinds 1996 hebben zij meer goud in bezit dan Amerikaanse Treasuries. Daarmee schuift goud voorbij de euro en neemt het de tweede plaats in als meest aangehouden reserve. Rusland, China en India vullen gestaag hun kluizen, maar Polen valt het meest op. Alleen al in 2025 kwam er 67 ton bij, waardoor het land nu meer goud bezit dan de Europese Centrale Bank. Het laat zien hoe landen sinds de sancties tegen Rusland in 2022 hun financiële onafhankelijkheid versterken. Veel opkomende economieën kopen bovendien rechtstreeks bij eigen mijnen. Hierdoor neemt de afhankelijkheid van de dollar af en verschuift de dynamiek op de goudmarkt fundamenteel. Op die stevige basis lijkt ruimte voor verdere prijsstijgingen. Tarieven en inflatie versterken de goudrally Ook de economische en politieke situatie speelt goud in de kaart. De nieuwe importtarieven van president Trump raken sectoren als farmaceutica, vrachtwagens en meubels, met verhogingen die uiteenlopen van 25% tot 100%. Op de beurs was direct spanning merkbaar. Dat vergrootte de aantrekkingskracht van goud. Tegelijkertijd blijft de inflatie hardnekkig. De PCE-index noteerde 2,7% en de kerninflatie 2,9%, het hoogste punt in zeven maanden. Hoewel beleggers anticiperen op extra renteverlagingen door de Federal Reserve, wijst de combinatie van stijgende inflatie en een zwakkere dollar op blijvende kracht voor goud. #View | Bitter pill, not poison: 100% Trump tariff on imported meds can act as smelling salt for Indian pharmahttps://t.co/5LkVneKcoh — ET Opinion (@ETOpinion) September 27, 2025 ETF-stromen en technische vooruitzichten Op de beleggingsmarkt valt op dat goud-ETF’s minder instroom zien dan cryptoproducten. Terwijl Amerikaanse Bitcoin-ETF’s inmiddels circa 7% van de marktkapitalisatie vertegenwoordigen, blijft goud onder de 1%. Analisten zien hierin nog veel ruimte, genoeg om de koers richting $4.000 te duwen. Vanuit technisch oogpunt oogt het plaatje sterk. Met een Wyckoff-score van 8,5 en weerstandsniveaus rond $3.824 en $3.900 zijn nieuwe records in zicht. Ook zilver beweegt mee. Het metaal tikte $45,35 aan en onderstreept daarmee de breedte van de rally in edelmetalen.

XRP Momentum October as SEC Weighs ETF Approvals

The post XRP Momentum October as SEC Weighs ETF Approvals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP ETF approval October: SEC deadlines loom for Grayscale and WisdomTree filings. XRP traders brace for October catalysts as ETF approvals could drive inflows. SEC updates streamline crypto ETF approvals tied to XRP, Solana, Cardano. XRP traders are preparing for a decisive month as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approaches multiple deadlines for spot XRP ETF filings in October 2025.

XRP trades at $2.78, up 1.2% in the past 24 hours, trimming its weekly loss to 7.5% despite broader market weakness.

Gold climbs as PCE data fuels Fed easing speculation

Gold climbs as PCE data fuels Fed easing speculation

The post Gold climbs as PCE data fuels Fed easing speculation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold surges as dovish bets grow despite fragile labor market and mixed consumer sentiment signals. Core PCE inflation stays under 3%, fueling speculation that Fed will extend easing into year-end meetings. Traders eye upcoming US data releases, including NFPs and ISM PMI, for confirmation of Fed’s policy trajectory. Gold price advances during the North American session, up 0.60% on Friday after the last inflation report maintained the status quo, reinforcing dovish bets for further easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). At the time of writing, the XAU/USD trades at $3,774 after bouncing off daily lows of $3,734. Precious metal rises after PCE data bolsters expectations of further easing by the Fed Market mood remains upbeat as traders digest the last tranche of data from the US that keeps Fed rate cuts alive. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, was aligned with estimates. Although the cost of living had trended up, the core PCE remains below the 3% threshold peak hit in February. Recently, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment fell in September as households are worried about high prices and the labor market. Inflation expectations showed that Americans see prices gradually trending lower. Aside from this, Fed officials crossed the wires. Governor Michelle Bowman said that data shows a more fragile labor market, while inflation excluding tariffs is not far above target. Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said that spending remains healthy for lower and higher income consumers. Bullion traders should also be keen on the latest round of tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump to pharmaceuticals and furniture manufactured outside of the United States (US). Next week, the US schedule will feature a flurry of Fed speakers, US ADP National Employment Change, the ISM Manufacturing PMI, Initial Jobless Claims and Nonfarm…

Historic Debate in Bitcoin: A Developer Attempts to Transform BTC with a Hard Fork

Historic Debate in Bitcoin: A Developer Attempts to Transform BTC with a Hard Fork

The post Historic Debate in Bitcoin: A Developer Attempts to Transform BTC with a Hard Fork appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin Core developer and Bitcoin Knots contributor Luke Dashjr is reportedly planning a hard fork that aims to create a “trusted multi-signature committee” to remove illegal content from the blockchain. In private messages shared by The Rage, Dashjr appears to acknowledge that current filtering methods are not sufficient. There has long been a debate within the Bitcoin ecosystem between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots regarding the place of non-monetary data, often referred to as “spam,” on the blockchain. The Core team proposes increasing the op_return size to move such transactions to a more secure environment, while the Knots side argues that non-monetary data should not be included in Bitcoin at all. Dashjr’s Knots client implements a mechanism to filter certain types of data before it enters the node pool. The debate has evolved over time from preventing harmless data to more serious claims that nodes should not contain illicit data. However, experts argue that this approach is technically infeasible, as current consensus rules require all nodes to maintain a validated block. According to leaked messages, Dashjr is suggesting a multi-signature committee as a solution. In this proposed system, a designated group of individuals can retroactively review data on the blockchain and replace sections they identify as “illegal content” with zero-knowledge proofs. This allows node operators to remove the relevant data from the blockchain while preserving the validity of the transaction. “The only options we have right now are for BTC to die or we have to rely on someone else,” Dashjr wrote in his messages. Implementing this proposal would require a Bitcoin hard fork. However, this approach poses a serious contradiction to Bitcoin’s core principles. Critics argue that such a committee would have the power to remove not only CSAM but also any “unwanted” data in the future, undermining Bitcoin’s…
