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.

Re-engineering social media: The DeSoc Stack of Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3

Re-engineering social media: The DeSoc Stack of Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3

The post Re-engineering social media: The DeSoc Stack of Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. contributor Posted: September 22, 2025 The quest for a truly decentralized social media (DeSoc) experience is a core focus of Web3 in September 2025. The goal is to build platforms that are censorship-resistant, user-owned, and free from manipulative algorithms. This requires a full stack of decentralized services, and Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3 provide the intelligence, infrastructure, and data layers needed to build it. RSS3 forms the foundational protocol layer for DeSoc. It acts as the “social graph,” allowing users to control their own content, connections, and online identity. By indexing a user’s posts, follows, and interactions from various decentralized sources, RSS3 makes this data portable and accessible to any front-end application. This breaks the platform lock-in of Web2 social media, as users can seamlessly switch between different clients while retaining their entire social history. Oraichain provides the “intelligence layer” for content curation and moderation. A common challenge for DeSoc is filtering spam and harmful content without centralized censors. Oraichain allows for the creation of transparent, community-governed AI models for moderation. Users could opt into different algorithmic feeds—a “serendipity” feed, a “trending” feed—all powered by verifiable AI, giving them control over their experience in a way that is auditable and fair. Pinlink offers the decentralized “hosting layer.” A truly censorship-resistant social network cannot rely on centralized servers like AWS. Pinlink’s DePIN provides a resilient, distributed network of nodes that can host the front-end applications, store encrypted user data, or run the back-end processes for a DeSoc platform. This distributes the physical infrastructure, making the network far more difficult for any single entity to shut down or control.

What It Means To Keep Your Bitcoin Transactions Private

What It Means To Keep Your Bitcoin Transactions Private

The post What It Means To Keep Your Bitcoin Transactions Private appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is the third in a 10-episode video series focusing on Bitcoin privacy, filmed at bitcoin++ Privacy Edition in Riga and elsewhere. Each episode will touch on some aspect of Bitcoin privacy, tools to use Bitcoin privately or surveillance techniques. Privacy is heads, censorship resistance is tails. They’re two sides of the same coin.  Everything people do together is inherently interactive. When those interactions cannot be conducted privately, when they become common public knowledge, the participants can be subjected to external pressure. They can be shunned, shamed, jailed or penalized in many other ways.  Without privacy, you have no censorship resistance. Without privacy, most people will censor themselves.  In this first episode, I sit down with Yuval Kogman from Spiral to discuss Bitcoin privacy. We go all the way back to Section 10 (Privacy) of the Bitcoin Whitepaper, and trace the path from there to the modern day. We discuss how privacy can be degraded based on how you use Bitcoin, the different specific ways you leak private information, as well as the lineage of tools that have been created over the years to help users prevent those leaks and protect their transactional privacy.

The Future of Gaming: Powering Next-Generation On-Chain Experiences

The Future of Gaming: Powering Next-Generation On-Chain Experiences

The post The Future of Gaming: Powering Next-Generation On-Chain Experiences appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. contributor Posted: September 22, 2025 Web3 gaming in September 2025 is moving beyond simple NFT collectibles and towards creating deeply immersive and dynamic on-chain experiences. This evolution requires robust infrastructure that can handle complex game logic, demanding graphics, and persistent player data. Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3 are becoming essential building blocks for game developers aiming to push the boundaries of decentralized entertainment. Oraichain allows for the creation of “intelligent” and provably fair game mechanics. Developers can use its verifiable AI for procedural content generation (PCG), creating infinite, unique game worlds on the fly. It can also power sophisticated AI opponents whose behavior is governed by transparent on-chain logic, or run complex skill-based reward calculations in a way that players can trust, eliminating fears of centralized manipulation in competitive gaming. Pinlink provides a solution to the high cost of game asset rendering and streaming, essentially a decentralized “cloud gaming” backbone. High-quality games require powerful GPUs, and Pinlink’s DePIN network allows developers to offload rendering tasks to a global network of providers. This can be used to power graphically rich in-game experiences for players on lower-end devices or to support the development of complex 3D assets for game worlds, making high-fidelity gaming more accessible. RSS3 serves as the universal player profile and social layer for Web3 gaming. It can index a player’s assets, achievements, and gameplay history across multiple games and blockchains. This creates a persistent, user-owned gaming identity that isn’t locked to a single platform. Developers can tap into this data to offer personalized experiences or create inter-game quests, while players can showcase their complete gaming legacy, creating a more unified and portable Web3 gaming ecosystem.

ASML Shares Soar After Morgan Stanley Upgrade

ASML Shares Soar After Morgan Stanley Upgrade

The post ASML Shares Soar After Morgan Stanley Upgrade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Morgan Stanley has upgraded ASML Holding NV to “Overweight” from “Equal-weight,” citing a favorable shift in the semiconductor industry driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and a cyclical recovery. The bank raised its price target for the Dutch chip equipment maker to €950 from €600, implying a potential 20% upside from its last closing price. Following the upgrade, ASML shares surged on Monday. According to UBS Group AG and Arete Research reports, Morgan Stanley, an American multinational investment bank and financial services firm, secured third position among firms to upgrade ASML’s stock in a month. Following the strong support system, reports dated September 22 revealed that ASML’s stock increased by up to 3.7%, reflecting a 33% increase, the highest record this year, compared to  September 2, which recorded a low point.  As a result of its tremendous success, ASML solidified its position as Europe’s largest publicly traded firm this month. This was after its valuation had skyrocketed to €322 billion, worth $379 billion, outperforming that of software company SAP SE and luxury brand LVMH. ASML’s strong support system vows to take its stock price to the highest level ever Nigel van Putten, Equity Research Analyst at Morgan Stanley, and Lee Simpson, Managing Director and Senior Equity Analyst at the firm, weighed in on the topic. In a note, they highlighted several growth opportunities extending into 2027, citing their decision to upgrade ASML to an “overweight” rating as an example. The analysts also projected that logic and memory chip maker advances will strengthen ASML’s business, positioning the company for gains over the next two years. Meanwhile, the Dutch chip giant’s upgrade has occurred swiftly, as reports reveal that recently, the firm that produces advanced chip equipment had encountered hardship in securing considerable gains from the demand for AI. Coincidentally, the upgrades from…

Economy is near full employment

Economy is near full employment

The post Economy is near full employment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem explained on Monday that he backed last week’s rate cut, describing it as a precaution to safeguard the job market. At the same time, he cautioned that with inflation still running above the Fed’s 2% goal, there might not be much room left for further cuts. Key Quotes He supported a quarter-point cut as a precautionary move to help the labour market but sees limited room for further easing. Monetary policy must continue to lean against inflation that remains above target. Overemphasis on the labour market could lead to policy that is too loose and does more harm than good. Tariffs are adding to inflation, and the impact on prices has not yet been fully felt. Economy is near full employment, and the recent cut should help maintain that. Loose financial conditions and other factors mean the Fed should move cautiously on further cuts. Would support further cuts if more signs of labour market weakness emerge, provided risks of persistent inflation and rising inflation expectations have not increased. Inflation FAQs Inflation measures the rise in the price of a representative basket of goods and services. Headline inflation is usually expressed as a percentage change on a month-on-month (MoM) and year-on-year (YoY) basis. Core inflation excludes more volatile elements such as food and fuel which can fluctuate because of geopolitical and seasonal factors. Core inflation is the figure economists focus on and is the level targeted by central banks, which are mandated to keep inflation at a manageable level, usually around 2%. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in prices of a basket of goods and services over a period of time. It is usually expressed as a percentage change on a month-on-month (MoM) and year-on-year (YoY) basis. Core CPI is the figure…

Critical Statements from Fed Member Bostic! “There Will Be No More Rate Cuts This Year!” Here’s Why…

Critical Statements from Fed Member Bostic! “There Will Be No More Rate Cuts This Year!” Here’s Why…

The post Critical Statements from Fed Member Bostic! “There Will Be No More Rate Cuts This Year!” Here’s Why… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic remains cautious about rate cuts amid inflation concerns, the Wall Street Journal reported. Speaking to the WSJ, Bostic said he expects only one rate cut in 2025. Bostic said the Fed is hesitant to support further interest rate cuts in October due to inflation running above its 2% target. He noted that despite the economic risks shifting toward weak employment, he currently expects only one rate cut in 2025. “I’m concerned about inflation, which has been too high for a long time. So I won’t take action or support it anymore, but we’ll see what happens.” Bostic said the latest rate cut in September was reasonable, but uncertainty remains high. At this point, Bostic stated that the 2025 inflation forecast will be 2.9% and core inflation will be 3.1%, and said he does not believe inflation will fall to the 2% target “probably until early 2028.” He warned that tariffs and immigration restrictions could slow labor force growth and maintain moderate price pressures. He said that the current policy environment is one of the most challenging, with risks to both inflation and growth increasing. *This is not investment advice.

USD/CAD steadies above 1.3800 as Canadian Dollar lags amid BoC easing

USD/CAD steadies above 1.3800 as Canadian Dollar lags amid BoC easing

The post USD/CAD steadies above 1.3800 as Canadian Dollar lags amid BoC easing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD steadies above 1.3800 as the Canadian Dollar underperforms despite a weaker Greenback. The BoC cut rates to 2.50% last week, its eighth reduction since September 2023, and signaled readiness to ease further if risks rise. Fed’s Bostic said on Monday he sees little reason to cut further for now, penciling in only one reduction in 2025. The Canadian Dollar (CAD) trades on the back foot against the US Dollar (USD) on Monday, with USD/CAD hovering around 1.3808 at the time of writing. The advance comes even as the Greenback trades lower against most of its major peers, as traders continue to assess the monetary policy outlook following interest rate cuts by both the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Canada (BoC) last week. At the same time, Crude Oil prices extend their retreat on Monday, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) slipping toward $61.50 per barrel. Canada, as a major energy exporter, remains highly sensitive to Oil price fluctuations, and lower Oil prices typically reduce demand for the Loonie. Last week, the BoC cut its overnight rate by 25 basis points to 2.50%. The latest move marked the BoC’s eighth rate cut since the policy rate peaked at 5.25% in September 2023, underscoring the extent of the Bank’s easing cycle amid weakening growth and moderating inflation. In its Monetary Policy Statement, the BoC said that three key developments had shifted the balance of risks since July. The labour market has softened further, underlying inflation pressures have diminished, and Canada’s removal of most retaliatory tariffs has reduced upside inflation risks. Governor Tiff Macklem emphasized the Bank is prepared to ease further “if risks rise.” Economists at several major banks, including TD and CIBC, expect at least one more reduction before year-end. According to Reuters, the overnight index swap market is…

Little reason to cut rates further for now – WSJ

Little reason to cut rates further for now – WSJ

The post Little reason to cut rates further for now – WSJ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Atlanta Federal Reserve (Fed) President Raphael Bostic told the Wall Street Journal on Monday that he sees little reason to cut rates further for now, per Reuters. Key takeaways “Penciled in only one rate cut for all of 2025 at Federal Reserve’s meeting last week.” “I am concerned about the inflation that has been too high for a long time.” “The current moment is one of the most difficult periods for policymakers because both risks are rising.” “I don’t project inflation returning to the Fed’s 2% goal until 2028.” Market reaction These comments received a hawkish score of 7.2 from FXStreet Fed Speech Tracker. Nevertheless, the FXStreet Fed Sentiment Index remains in the dovish territory, well below 100. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index (DXY) stays under modest bearish pressure and was last seen losing 0.22% on the day at 97.42. Fed FAQs Monetary policy in the US is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these goals is by adjusting interest rates. When prices are rising too quickly and inflation is above the Fed’s 2% target, it raises interest rates, increasing borrowing costs throughout the economy. This results in a stronger US Dollar (USD) as it makes the US a more attractive place for international investors to park their money. When inflation falls below 2% or the Unemployment Rate is too high, the Fed may lower interest rates to encourage borrowing, which weighs on the Greenback. The Federal Reserve (Fed) holds eight policy meetings a year, where the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) assesses economic conditions and makes monetary policy decisions. The FOMC is attended by twelve Fed officials – the seven members of the Board of Governors, the president of the Federal…
