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.

GitHub Copilot Enhances Code Search with New Embedding Model

GitHub Copilot Enhances Code Search with New Embedding Model

The post GitHub Copilot Enhances Code Search with New Embedding Model appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ted Hisokawa Sep 26, 2025 03:41 GitHub introduces a new Copilot embedding model, enhancing code search in VS Code with improved accuracy and efficiency, according to GitHub’s announcement. GitHub has announced a significant upgrade to its Copilot tool, introducing a new embedding model that promises to enhance code search within Visual Studio Code (VS Code). This development aims to make code retrieval faster, more memory-efficient, and significantly more accurate, as detailed in a recent GitHub blog post. Enhanced Code Retrieval The new Copilot embedding model brings a 37.6% improvement in retrieval quality, doubling the throughput and reducing the index size by eight times. This means developers can expect more accurate code suggestions, faster response times, and reduced memory usage in VS Code. The model effectively provides the correct code snippets needed, minimizing irrelevant results. Why the Upgrade Matters Efficient code search is crucial for a seamless AI coding experience. Embeddings, which are vector representations, play a key role in retrieving semantically relevant code and natural language content. The improved embeddings result in higher retrieval quality, thereby enhancing the overall GitHub Copilot experience. Technical Improvements GitHub has trained and deployed this new model specifically for code and documentation, enhancing context retrieval for various Copilot modes. The update has shown significant improvements, with C# developers experiencing a 110.7% increase in code acceptance ratios and Java developers seeing a 113.1% rise. Training and Evaluation The model was optimized using contrastive learning techniques, such as InfoNCE loss and Matryoshka Representation Learning, to improve retrieval quality. A key aspect of the training involved using ‘hard negatives’—code examples that appear correct but are not—helping the model distinguish between nearly correct and actually correct code snippets. Future Prospects GitHub plans to expand its training and evaluation data to include…

Next week's macro outlook: Fed officials speak intensively, non-farm payrolls will challenge dovish bets

Next week's macro outlook: Fed officials speak intensively, non-farm payrolls will challenge dovish bets

PANews reported on September 27th that market sentiment was jittery this week due to central bank communications and seasonal factors. Cryptocurrencies performed the worst, seeing their strong yearly performance take a hit. Although they remain at fairly high levels, their price action resembles a minor correction rather than a simple pullback: Ethereum has fallen below $4,000 as of this writing, while Bitcoin is just shy of $110,000. The market will also be watching to see whether further corrections in cryptocurrencies will trigger a further reaction to the current stubborn market enthusiasm. The following are key points that the market will focus on in the new week: At 8:00 PM on Monday, 2026 FOMC voting member and Cleveland Fed President Hammack will participate in a policy panel discussion. At 01:30 on Tuesday, FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams and 2025 FOMC voting member and St. Louis Fed President Moussallem will deliver speeches; At 06:00 on Tuesday, 2027 FOMC voting member and Atlanta Fed President Bostic will have a dialogue with Delta Air Lines CEO on issues including the Atlanta economy; At 18:00 on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Jefferson delivered a speech; Tuesday at 21:45, US September Chicago PMI; Tuesday at 22:00, the US JOLTs job vacancies for August and the US Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index for September; At 01:00 on Wednesday, Goolsbee, a 2025 FOMC voting member and president of the Chicago Fed, will deliver a speech; At 07:10 on Wednesday, Logan, a 2026 FOMC voting member and president of the Dallas Fed, delivered a speech; At 08:30 on Wednesday, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Jefferson delivered a speech; At 20:30 on Thursday, the number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending September 27 and the monthly rate of factory orders in the United States in August; At 10:30 PM on Thursday, Logan, the 2026 FOMC voting member and president of the Dallas Fed, will deliver a speech. At 18:05 on Friday, FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams delivered a speech at the farewell symposium of Dutch Central Bank President Knot; At 20:30 on Friday, the US September non-farm payrolls, unemployment rate, and average hourly wage annual and monthly rates will be released.

USD/JPY slips as US PCE data and tariff concerns curb Greenback’s momentum

The post USD/JPY slips as US PCE data and tariff concerns curb Greenback’s momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/JPY retreats after a two-day rally that pushed it to its highest level in eight weeks. US core PCE inflation rose 0.2% MoM in August, in line with forecasts. The US Dollar Index eases from three-week highs as traders react to US PCE and tariff headlines. The Japanese Yen (JPY) firms against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday, with USD/JPY taking a breather after a sharp two-day rally that had propelled it to its strongest level since August 1 on Thursday. At the time of writing, the USD/JPY pair is trading around 149.50, as the Greenback’s recent rally loses momentum. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the Greenback’s value against six major peers, is easing from three-week highs and trading near 98.18 as traders react to the latest Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data. US inflation data released on Friday came in broadly in line with expectations. The core PCE Price Index, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) preferred gauge of underlying price trends, rose 0.2% month-on-month in August, down from July’s originally reported 0.3% (revised to 0.2%), while the annual core rate held steady at 2.9%. The headline PCE index rose 0.3% MoM, matching forecasts, and the yearly rate edged up to 2.7% from 2.6% in July, indicating that headline price pressure remains persistent even as core inflation stabilizes. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index slipped to 55.1 in September from 55.4 in August, while the Consumer Expectations Index edged down to 51.7 from 51.8. The survey’s 1-year inflation expectation eased slightly to 4.7% from 4.8%, and the 5-year inflation expectation declined to 3.7% from 3.9%. In Japan, data released earlier on Friday showed that the Tokyo Consumer Price Index (CPI), a leading indicator of nationwide trends, showed inflation rose 2.5% YoY in September, the same pace as in…

Moat Index Adjusts Strategy, Reduces Tech Exposure

Moat Index Adjusts Strategy, Reduces Tech Exposure

The post Moat Index Adjusts Strategy, Reduces Tech Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. James Ding Sep 26, 2025 11:10 The Moat Index has shifted its focus by reducing technology sector exposure and emphasizing value investments, reflecting a contrarian stance in the current market landscape. The latest review of the Moat Index has resulted in a notable shift in strategy, as the index trims its technology sector exposure while maintaining a strong emphasis on value investments. This move underscores the index’s contrarian position amidst current market trends, according to VanEck. Strategic Adjustments In its September review, the Moat Index made strategic adjustments by reducing its holdings in the technology sector and introducing new names to its portfolio, reflecting a deliberate tilt towards value. This approach is designed to capitalize on companies with sustainable competitive advantages, a core tenet of the index’s methodology. Background and Methodology The Moat Index, maintained by Morningstar, is known for its unique focus on stocks that are believed to be trading below their intrinsic value. The index’s construction rules, which were updated in 2016, expanded its constituent count and altered its rebalancing methodology to enhance diversification and reduce turnover. Market Positioning This latest adjustment comes at a time when the technology sector has experienced substantial growth, leading many investors to question the sustainability of its high valuations. By shifting focus, the Moat Index aims to leverage opportunities in undervalued sectors, aligning with its philosophy of identifying firms with long-term competitive strengths. Investor Implications For investors, this adjustment may signal a need to reassess their portfolios, particularly those heavily weighted in technology stocks. The Moat Index’s value-centric approach may offer a more balanced risk profile, especially in volatile market conditions. For more details, readers can access the full article on the VanEck website.

Moody’s Releases Cryptocurrency Report: Issues Warning

Moody’s Releases Cryptocurrency Report: Issues Warning

The post Moody’s Releases Cryptocurrency Report: Issues Warning appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Credit rating agency Moody’s announced in its report that cryptocurrency adoption in developing countries could put monetary policy sovereignty and financial resilience at risk. The report noted that this risk increases as cryptocurrencies go beyond being just an investment tool and are now being used for savings and money transfers. Moody’s argued that the proliferation of dollar-denominated stablecoins, in particular, and the increasing use of pricing and payments in currencies other than local currencies could weaken the monetary policy transmission mechanism. This, it added, could reduce transparency and regulatory visibility, creating pressures for “cryptocurrency”—akin to unofficial dollarization. The report also noted that cryptocurrencies provide new channels for capital flight through anonymous wallets and offshore exchanges, which could undermine exchange rate stability. Moody’s noted that the heaviest adoption of crypto assets has been seen in Southeast Asia, Africa, and parts of Latin America, driven by factors such as high inflation, currency depreciation, and limited banking services. In contrast, crypto adoption in developed economies is reportedly advancing largely due to institutional consolidation and regulatory clarity. According to the report, approximately 562 million people worldwide will be using cryptocurrencies by 2024, representing a 33% annual increase. *This is not investment advice.

Bitcoin Fails To Hold $110K, Here’s Why

Bitcoin Fails To Hold $110K, Here’s Why

The post Bitcoin Fails To Hold $110K, Here’s Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key takeaways: Strong US economic data and rising gold prices shift investor focus away from Bitcoin’s upside. Regulatory uncertainty and vague US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plans keep BTC price down despite macro tailwinds. Bitcoin (BTC) failed to reclaim the $110,000 level on Friday, despite high expectations from traders following the monthly BTC options expiry. Hopes for a post-expiry rally were dashed as bearish momentum continued, driven by several headwinds, including macroeconomic data and a possible investigation targeting listed cryptocurrency treasury companies. The US Commerce Department reported Friday that the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose 2.7% in August compared to the previous year, matching economists’ forecasts. Persistent inflation is one of the reasons the US Federal Reserve remains cautious about lowering interest rates.

Bitcoin traders’ frustrations were further amplified as gold surged to $3,770 on Friday, just 0.5% shy of its all-time high, signaling that investors are leaning toward traditional safe-haven assets amid uncertainty. The S&P 500 posted gains on Friday after data showed a 0.6% rise in US consumer spending for August.
