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.

Eliminating MEV and unlocking privacy-focused blockchain use cases with FAIR

Eliminating MEV and unlocking privacy-focused blockchain use cases with FAIR

The post Eliminating MEV and unlocking privacy-focused blockchain use cases with FAIR appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Onchain markets have become a playground for exploitation due to the lack of privacy associated with public mempools. The lack of onchain privacy is so pervasive that entire categories of applications, investment strategies, and institutional workflows remain offchain, as they would be exploited the moment they touched the network. As a result, vast amounts of capital, likely in the trillions, stay sidelined, unwilling to enter an environment where transparency equates to vulnerability. With these limitations to onchain privacy, blockchains are scratching their heads at the question: What can you do tomorrow that you can’t do today? FAIR sidesteps the question by taking direct aim at the privacy and MEV-based problems. Built on a novel Proof-of-Encryption (PoE) system and powered by BITE (Blockchain Integrated Threshold Encryption), it embeds encrypted execution into the consensus layer. Transactions are sealed before validation and revealed only after finalization, removing the transparency window that makes MEV possible. Thanks to FAIR’s PoE, DeFi strategies can execute privately, AI agents can operate without exposing their logic, and institutions can participate with confidence that their intent will remain secure.  In this article, we’ll explore how FAIR works, the role of BITE in Proof-of-Encryption, and the new possibilities it creates for DeFi, AI, and institutional adoption. Solving MEV at the protocol level Within the broader SKALE ecosystem, FAIR is positioned to be the home of liquidity and a platform for the next generation of AI-driven liquid markets. It’s a Layer 1 blockchain designed to make markets and applications safer, private, and usable at scale, combining native MEV resistance, a hyper-optimized EVM, and onchain AI capabilities into a single architecture. To do so, FAIR embeds Blockchain Integrated Threshold Encryption (BITE) directly into the consensus layer, ensuring that transactions remain encrypted until after finalization. This new consensus primitive, called Proof-of-Encryption, eliminates front-running,…

Expert Points to Maxi Doge as Top $SHIB Alternative

Expert Points to Maxi Doge as Top $SHIB Alternative

The post Expert Points to Maxi Doge as Top $SHIB Alternative appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market has been showing signs of recovery after recent turbulence, with Bitcoin rebounding from sharp declines and pulling altcoins back into positive territory. However, the market remains a mixed bag, as the broader correction from last week still lingers in trader sentiment. A sharp drop in $BTC from $117,000 to nearly $112,000 shook confidence, though its quick rebound suggests resilient demand and potential accumulation during dips. This rebound has sparked renewed interest not only in Bitcoin but also in altcoins like Shiba Inu. Market sentiment remains fragile, with the fear and greed index sitting in the “fear” zone around 56, a level that historically signals buying opportunities. While fear drives some traders away, it often provides a chance for stronger hands to build positions before broader market recoveries. Altcoin season indicators are trending higher, suggesting growing interest in projects beyond Bitcoin, which could give Shiba Inu and new meme coin presales the momentum needed heading into the final quarter of 2025. This article provides a Shiba Inu price prediction from crypto expert ClayBro, along with his insights on the new meme coin presale, Maxi Doge. His full analysis is available on his YouTube channel or in the video below. Shiba Inu Price Prediction and Challenges Ahead Shiba Inu remains one of the most discussed meme coins in the market, though it faces both opportunities and challenges. Currently trading near $0.000012 per coin, $SHIB sits beneath its key 100- and 200-day exponential moving averages. The ability of bulls to reclaim levels between $0.0000160 and $0.000020 will likely determine whether $SHIB can mount a sustained rally. Large holders still control much of the supply, which raises volatility risks and keeps retail investors cautious. On-chain activity has slowed, with fewer new addresses being created, raising questions about long-term growth despite Shiba…

EUR/CHF recovers losses as SNB keeps door open for monetary policy adjustments

EUR/CHF recovers losses as SNB keeps door open for monetary policy adjustments

The post EUR/CHF recovers losses as SNB keeps door open for monetary policy adjustments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF bounces back as the SNB warns of the trade war risk influenced by US tariffs. The SNB left interest rates steady at 0%, as expected. Investors shift focus to the German inflation data for September. The EUR/CHF pair recovers losses and trades 0.15% higher to near 0.9350 during the European trading session on Thursday. The pair bounces back as Swiss National Bank (SNB) Chairman Martin Schlegel has kept the door open for further monetary policy expansion as “uncertainty surrounding inflation and economic development remains elevated” in the wake of tariffs imposed by the United States (US) on its trading partners. SNB’s Governing Board member Petra Tschudin has warned of “deteriorating Swiss economic outlook” due to US tariffs and sees the Unemployment Rate rising in the near term. Earlier, the cross faced selling pressure after the SNB held interest rates at 0%, as expected, which led to a slight selling pressure in the EUR/CHF pair. Meanwhile, the Euro (EUR) underperforms its peers on Thursday as uncertainty over the Russia-Ukraine war has escalated, following comments from US President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth.Social that Ukraine can win back all of the territory Russia has taken since its invasion. Trump added that it can be done with time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO. Going forward, the major trigger for the Euro will be the preliminary Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) data for September, which will be released on Tuesday. German inflation data will significantly influence market expectations for the European Central Bank’s (ECB) monetary policy outlook.   SNB FAQs The Swiss National Bank (SNB) is the country’s central bank. As an independent central bank, its mandate is to ensure price stability in the medium and long term. To ensure price stability, the SNB…

Breakthrough for XRP and XLM? SEC Approves Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto ETF Expansion

Breakthrough for XRP and XLM? SEC Approves Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto ETF Expansion

The post Breakthrough for XRP and XLM? SEC Approves Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto ETF Expansion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The SEC has given the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF the go-ahead under its new generic listing standards, which means there are now more investment options for the fund.  Up until now, regulated U.S. crypto ETFs were pretty much limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum, but the new rule change signed on Sept. 24 means that XRP, Solana, Stellar and maybe others are now on the list too, explains Nate Geraci. The fund’s updated portfolio, published on Sept. 25, shows the split: Bitcoin is still the star of the show at 73.5%, followed by Ethereum with 14.8%.  Here we go… Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF approved under SEC’s new generic listing standards. Will now be able to own crypto assets beyond btc & eth. Looks like xrp, sol, & xlm. pic.twitter.com/OyZO9MLnMx — Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) September 25, 2025 For the first time, XRP joins the party with 7.1%, Solana brings up the rear with 4.2% and Stellar finishes up with 0.3%. In basic terms, that is 3.56 million XRP at $2.99; 29,383 SOL at $213.54 and 1.32 million XLM at $0.38. What does it really mean? This might sound like some boring technical stuff, but for traders it is a real game-changer. The SEC has now adopted standard listing rules for commodity-based trust shares, which should put an end to all the back-and-forth that has kept non-BTC, non-ETH products in limbo. With the basics sorted, ETF issuers can bring new products to market without having to start from scratch every time, which could speed things up just as markets are adjusting to the Fed’s latest rate cuts and capital is looking for risk exposure. There are already some amendments about other spot ETFs doing the rounds, with filings linked to XRP and Solana said to be almost finished. That means the first…

Good News from a US State: Bitcoin (BTC) and Cryptocurrency Payments Approved!

Good News from a US State: Bitcoin (BTC) and Cryptocurrency Payments Approved!

The post Good News from a US State: Bitcoin (BTC) and Cryptocurrency Payments Approved! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While important steps continue to be taken towards Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies in the USA, the latest news came from Ohio. The Ohio State Board of Deposits has given final approval for state residents to pay state fees, services, and charges using Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The initiative is part of Ohio’s broader efforts to advance digital asset legislation, which also includes a blockchain protection bill and a Bitcoin reserve proposal. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose noted that relevant departments process hundreds of thousands of transactions annually and that demand for cryptocurrency payment options is increasing. “Hundreds of thousands of transactions pass through my office every year. So, I want to congratulate the board of directors for taking a bold step to position us at the forefront of the evolving digital economy. We are not afraid to embrace new tools and technologies that foster investment and growth. Ohioans are demanding a cryptocurrency option, and I am excited and ready to be the first to offer it to our clients,” LaRose said. Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal congratulated Ohio’s cryptocurrency push, saying, “It’s happening. Government payments in Ohio today. Tomorrow everything will be on-chain. Thank you, sir.” The latest activity in Ohio comes amid strategic Bitcoin reserve efforts. According to the Bitcoin Laws tracking tool, 47 states in the US have submitted Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) proposals. Of these, approximately 26 states still have active proposals under consideration. But some states moved faster than others. Arizona, Texas, and New Hampshire are among those advancing legislation the furthest, while other states, including Ohio, have existing bills stuck in committee review. *This is not investment advice.

Raoul Pal Predicts Bitcoin’s Correlation With ISM Index

Raoul Pal Predicts Bitcoin’s Correlation With ISM Index

The post Raoul Pal Predicts Bitcoin’s Correlation With ISM Index appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Raoul Pal asserts Bitcoin aligns with the ISM Index cycle. Bitcoin’s price peak predicted for 2026 due to market dynamics. Potential Bitcoin price growth if ISM surpasses 60. Raoul Pal, co-founder and CEO of Real Vision, recently stated that Bitcoin’s price movement is now closely linked to the ISM index, anticipating significant impacts. This connection suggests a potential peak in Bitcoin prices by 2026, aligning with macroeconomic cycles and affecting market dynamics for investors globally. Bitcoin Market Projections Aligned with ISM Growth Raoul Pal, co-founder of Real Vision, asserts a strong connection between Bitcoin and the ISM. He suggests that the Treasury’s decision to extend debt maturity from four to five years artificially lengthens Bitcoin’s market cycle. This effectively reshapes investment expectations into a five-year cycle, delaying projections originally due in 2025 to 2026. Pal expects Bitcoin prices could surpass $300,000 should the ISM rise above 60, riding a wave of increased liquidity. This forecast synchronizes with a broader market understanding that Bitcoin trends reflect major macroeconomic cycles. Raoul Pal stated, “Bitcoin goes up as the ISM goes up… If it goes above 60, I mean, those are high prices in Bitcoin. That’s above $300,000, maybe even higher.” Investor sentiment on social platforms shows keen interest in Pal’s theory. The notion of extending cycle expectations to 2026 has prompted significant discussions among traders, with an emphasis on ISM readings as critical triggers. Official statements from Pal emphasize Bitcoin’s leading position relative to ISM metrics. Key Historical ISM Surges Boost Bitcoin Prices Did you know? Historically, when the ISM Index surpassed 60, Bitcoin has experienced significant rallies, such as those in 2017 and 2020–21. Analysts predict a similar surge if current trends continue. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin’s price currently stands at $111,519.43, reflecting a 24-hour change of -1.41%. The…

Dow Jones futures show little movement following weakness in AI majors, profit-taking

Dow Jones futures show little movement following weakness in AI majors, profit-taking

The post Dow Jones futures show little movement following weakness in AI majors, profit-taking appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dow Jones futures remain steady amid market caution following weakness in AI leaders and profit-taking. US index futures were little changed as traders remained cautious amid mixed signals from Fed officials. Nvidia, Oracle, and Micron Technology led losses on concerns over elevated valuations and risky sector interdependencies. Dow Jones futures hover around 46,450 during European hours on Thursday, ahead of the United States (US) session opening. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 futures remain steady near 6,700, while Nasdaq 100 futures remain close to 24,750. US index futures move little after Wall Street fell for two consecutive sessions, following weakness in AI leaders and profit-taking near record highs. Additionally, traders adopt caution due to mixed signals from US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. Investors now await Thursday’s weekly US Initial Jobless Claims for Fed rate outlook cues, while speeches from Fed officials Schmid, Williams, Barr, and Logan will also be closely watched. Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a cautious note, stressing that the US central bank must weigh stubborn inflation against a softening job market, calling it “a challenging situation” and reiterating comments from last week. However, the CME FedWatch tool suggests that money markets are currently pricing in nearly a 92% possibility of a Fed rate cut in October, up from 87% a week earlier. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said on Wednesday that further rate reductions are likely to be needed, as the central bank works to restore price stability and provide necessary support to the labor market. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee broke away from the overarching narrative of consecutive Fed rate cuts heading through the end of the year. On Wednesday’s regular US session, the Dow Jones declined 0.37%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.28% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.33%, with all three benchmarks extending their pullback from…

Will Pi Coin Price Recover As Month End After Payochain Listing?

Will Pi Coin Price Recover As Month End After Payochain Listing?

The post Will Pi Coin Price Recover As Month End After Payochain Listing? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pi Coin price remains under heavy pressure as the charts highlight a prolonged downtrend. Despite extended weakness, the asset has reached an important technical zone that may influence its short-term direction. The broader narrative now mixes technical signals with ecosystem updates, shaping the debate on whether recovery is possible. Pi Coin Price Action Shows Oversold Signals The Pi Coin price has been trading within a steep descending channel, reflecting consistent bearish control. Recently, it touched a critical support area that has historically drawn attention during similar cycles.  The current Pi Coin market price trades at $0.27, placing it near the lower boundary of the channel. Importantly, the Relative Strength Index signals oversold conditions, adding weight to speculation of a rebound.  Meanwhile, Pi hit a fresh all-time low near this boundary on September 22, strengthening the case for technical relief. However, a key resistance remains set around $0.40, which must be breached to change the broader trend.  If this zone is reclaimed, a move toward higher ranges could unfold. In the longer-term Pi Coin price forecast, holding the oversold region could pave the way for recovery. Still, failure to defend support risks prolonging the downward cycle further. PI/USDT 1-Day Chart (Source: TradingView) Payochain Listing Sparks Hope Amid Prolonged Decline The recent announcement that Payochain has listed Pi Coin adds a fresh layer to the discussion. The move introduces a new utility for users within Payochain’s platform, potentially boosting activity.  Specifically, in-app trading and transfers expand access, which could attract more participants. Additionally, the listing aligns with Payochain’s stated goal of empowering mobile blockchain adoption.  The ecosystem support comes at a time when Pi Coin struggles with severe technical weakness. Therefore, the timing of this listing stands out, colliding directly with the asset’s lowest trading range.  Besides, Onramp Money expanded Pi’s…
