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.

Swedish Krona stays calm ahead of Riksbank meeting

Swedish Krona stays calm ahead of Riksbank meeting

The post Swedish Krona stays calm ahead of Riksbank meeting appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With the Swedish Krona (SEK) moving without a clear trend against the Euro (EUR) on Monday, all eyes are now on the Riksbank’s monetary policy decision scheduled for Tuesday at 07:30 GMT. Despite inflation still slightly above expectations, slowing growth and rising unemployment are fuelling speculation about a possible cut in the key rate, currently set at 2.00%. The market remains divided. Deutsche Bank estimates the probability of an easing at just 30%, while SEB Research anticipates a 25 basis points cut, taking the rate to 1.75%, potentially followed by a further reduction by mid-2026. The dilemma is clear. The Riksbank has to decide between persistent inflation and a fragile economy, while other major central banks are beginning to close their easing cycles. Sweden’s macroeconomic fundamentals under scrutiny Sweden’s macroeconomic environment presents a mixed picture. Core inflation, as indicated by the Consumer Price Index with a Fixed interest rate (CPIF) excluding energy – the inflation reading monitored by the Riksbank – fell back to 2.9% in August, closer to the central bank’s target of 2%. However, the headline of the index surprised on the upside at 3.2%, exceeding market forecasts by 0.5 points. According to ING, these data should encourage the Riksbank to keep its interest rate unchanged, while keeping open the possibility of a final cut later in the year. On the growth front, the expected recovery remains timid. Second-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) disappointed, coming 0.6 percentage points below the Riksbank’s forecast. Unemployment, at 8.4%, remains high, prompting some members of the Monetary Policy Committee to consider immediate action. As Morningstar’s Johanna Englundh points out, “persistent weakness in the labor market could tip the balance in favor of a cut, despite temporarily higher inflation”. However, positive signals are emerging. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Indexes (PMIs) have recently reached their…

Fed Sentiment Index drops to dovish territory ahead of key speeches

Fed Sentiment Index drops to dovish territory ahead of key speeches

The post Fed Sentiment Index drops to dovish territory ahead of key speeches appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FXStreet Fed Sentiment Index fell below 90.00 for the first time since November. Several Fed policymakers will be delivering speeches throughout the week. Markets widely expect the US central bank to cut rates twice more this year. The Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to cut the policy rate by 25 basis-points (bps) to the range of 4%-4.25% following the September policy meeting, as widely anticipated. The revised Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), also known as the dot-plot, showed that projections imply additional 50 bps of rate cuts in 2025, 25 bps in 2026 and 25 bps in 2027. While speaking at the post-meeting press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted that he doesn’t feel the need to move quickly on rates and called the decision to lower the rates a “risk management cut.” Although he noted that it’s time to acknowledge that risks to the employment mandate have grown, he added that they still expect tariff-driven price increases to continue this year and next. Following the Fed event, FXStreet Fed Sentiment Index dropped to its lowest level since early November at 82.74, reflecting a significant dovish tilt in the Fed’s overall tone. Meanwhile, newly appointed Fed policymaker Stephen Miran explained that he voted in favor of a 50 bps rate cut, arguing that the longer the policy stays restrictive, the greater the risks to the labor market. On a more neutral tone, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly noted late Friday the Fed’s move to cut rates was to try and bolster a weakening labor market, noting a pointed softening of the US economy over the past year. FXStreet Fed Sentiment Index stays in the dovish territory at 86.23 despite recovering slightly. NY Fed President John Williams, St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin and Cleveland Fed…

China’s Securities Regulatory Authority Issues Warning on RWA Assets in Hong Kong! Here Are the Details

China’s Securities Regulatory Authority Issues Warning on RWA Assets in Hong Kong! Here Are the Details

The post China’s Securities Regulatory Authority Issues Warning on RWA Assets in Hong Kong! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The China Securities Regulatory Authority (CSRC) has advised several local brokerages to halt their real-world asset (RWA) tokenization activities in Hong Kong. At least two major brokerages have received informal warnings in this regard, according to sources. Chinese Regulator Puts Brakes on RWA Tokenization Activities in Hong Kong RWA tokenization involves converting traditional financial assets like real estate, bonds, or commodities into blockchain-based digital tokens. While this area has attracted interest from institutional investors globally, China has been cautious. Hong Kong has recently been taking steps toward its goal of becoming a leading digital asset hub in Asia. While the territory provides a relatively more liberal environment for crypto exchanges and token-based financial products, mainland China is more cautious, citing financial stability and risk management concerns. According to experts, the CSRC’s warning is a reflection of Hong Kong’s search for a balance between its digital asset strategy and Beijing’s strict regulatory focus. Industry analysts say the temporary restriction on Chinese brokerages raises questions about whether it will limit Hong Kong’s appeal to global investors. However, market players are unanimous in their view that in the long term, Hong Kong will not back down from its goal of creating a safe environment for digital assets by clarifying the regulatory framework. *This is not investment advice.

USD/JPY continues to face pressure above 148.00, investors await Fed Powell’s speech

The post USD/JPY continues to face pressure above 148.00, investors await Fed Powell’s speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/JPY faces pressure above 148.00 as the US Dollar falls back. The Fed reduced interest rates last week and signaled further decline in interest rates to 3.6% by the year-end. Investors await Fed Powell’s speech for fresh cues on the monetary policy outlook. The USD/JPY pair trades subduedly near 148.00 during the European trading hours on Monday. The pair has been facing selling pressure above 148.00 from almost two weeks. During the press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, falls back after struggling to extend its recent recovery move above 97.80. The USD Index gained sharply in past few trading days after the monetary policy announcement by the Federal Reserve (Fed) on Wednesday, in which it reduced interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.00%-4.25%. The Fed signaled through its dot plot that Federal Funds Rate could decline to 3.6% by the year end. Meanwhile, investors await speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, which is scheduled on Tuesday. Investors will look for cues about whether the Fed will continue reducing interest rates even as inflation is well above the central bank’s target of 2%. In Japan, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) held interest rates steady at 0.5% on Friday and kept the door open for further monetary policy tightening. Meanwhile, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary and Prime Minister contender, Yoshimasa Hayashi, has supported BoJ’s hawkish view stating that the central bank is conducting the monetary policy in a way that does not deviate much from the government’s thinking. 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.

UK and US Form Crypto Task Force to Shape Global Digital Assets Rules

UK and US Form Crypto Task Force to Shape Global Digital Assets Rules

The United Kingdom and the United States have announced the creation of a joint task force aimed at strengthening cooperation on digital asset regulation and capital markets. The initiative, called the Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future, was unveiled last week during U.S. President Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK, marking a significant step toward closer alignment between the world’s two largest financial hubs. Transatlantic Crypto Task Force Targets Unified Approach to Digital Asset Regulation According to a statement from the UK government, the task force will focus on enhancing collaboration across capital markets while laying the groundwork for a unified approach to digital assets. https://twitter.com/btc_archive/status/1970136942554550688?s=46 It will explore short- and medium-term options for cooperation while legislation and regulatory regimes continue to develop, as well as long-term opportunities to advance wholesale digital market innovation. The announcement followed a high-level meeting in London between UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The meeting hosted on September 17 was also attended by executives from major crypto firms, including Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple, alongside global banks such as Citi, Bank of America, and Barclays. Both governments said the initiative shows their commitment to ensuring capital markets remain competitive and open while adapting to the rapid pace of technological change. The task force will be chaired jointly by officials from HM Treasury and the U.S. Treasury, with participation from regulators including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is expected to report back to both finance ministries through the UK–US Financial Regulatory Working Group within 180 days. Industry experts will also be consulted to ensure recommendations reflect the priorities of businesses and investors. Key areas under review include the interoperability of regulatory frameworks, particularly around asset custody, anti-money laundering standards, and stablecoin oversight. Stablecoins are expected to be a central focus, with officials noting that aligning UK rules with U.S. standards could improve cross-border access for firms and draw more American investment into Britain’s financial sector. The move comes as the UK faces pressure to remain competitive in global finance amid concerns about companies shifting listings to U.S. markets in search of higher valuations. For Washington, the initiative reflects the Trump administration’s push toward technology-neutral digital asset regulation, a stance intended to accelerate innovation while maintaining financial stability. Recent months have seen increasing calls from industry groups on both sides of the Atlantic for governments to provide clarity on digital asset regulation. Sources familiar with the London discussions said the agreement was finalized at short notice, following letters from crypto associations urging the UK to prioritize digital assets during Trump’s visit. By strengthening transatlantic ties, the task force aims to reduce burdens for UK and U.S. firms raising capital across borders while laying the foundation for a coordinated approach to digital assets. Officials said the initiative reaffirms the “deep and historic connection” between the two economies and represents a milestone in preparing markets for the next phase of financial innovation. At the time of the announcement, both governments emphasized that stability, trust, and innovation would guide the group’s work, with the first set of recommendations expected in early 2026. Chainalysis Ranks U.S. Second in Adoption as UK Pushes Faster Crypto Approvals The launch of the UK–US crypto task force comes as both countries advance their domestic approaches to digital asset regulation. The latest Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index ranks the United States second worldwide, reflecting strong institutional participation and momentum from regulatory progress. https://twitter.com/cryptonews/status/1963210631781257690?s=46 The UK stands at 11th but remains one of the largest global hubs, serving as Coinbase’s second-biggest market after the U.S. Industry heavyweights have poured investment into London while lobbying for clearer rules. Britain’s FCA has recently accelerated reviews, cutting approval times by two-thirds. Since April, five firms, including BlackRock and Standard Chartered, have received registration, lifting approval rates to 45% compared to less than 15% over the past five years. Still, applications have declined as stricter rules take hold, dropping from 46 in 2022–23 to 26 in 2024–25. Further tightening is underway. From January 2026, crypto platforms must collect detailed customer information on every trade, in line with the OECD’s global reporting framework. The FCA is also consulting on whether crypto firms should face the same standards as banks, including governance, financial crime controls, and consumer protection duties. https://twitter.com/cryptonews/status/1968336498056699997?s=46 Across the Atlantic, in the U.S., lawmakers are considering a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Congress is reviewing a bill requiring the Treasury to assess the feasibility of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, drawing on the government’s holdings of up to 207,000 BTC seized from cybercrime cases. Meanwhile, the White House hosted its first crypto summit, underscoring efforts to embed digital assets within the U.S. financial system

RippleX Unveils XRPL DeFi Roadmap: Key Highlights Inside…

RippleX Unveils XRPL DeFi Roadmap: Key Highlights Inside…

The post RippleX Unveils XRPL DeFi Roadmap: Key Highlights Inside… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RippleX has announced the next phase of its XRPL Institutional DeFi roadmap. The update focuses on compliance, lending, and privacy. It signals a clear push to bring regulated players on-chain. RippleX is Ripple’s developer and innovation arm. It supports the XRPL (XRP Ledger) ecosystem, funds projects, and develops features like tokenization and DeFi tooling. Roadmap Highlights The roadmap outlines three pillars for growth. First, compliance features like Credentials and Deep Freeze are already live. Second, a native lending protocol will launch with XRPL Version 3.0.0 later this year. Sponsored Sponsored Third, zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) integrations are in development. These will enable confidential transactions while keeping regulators satisfied. RippleX expects confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs) in early 2026. RippleX XRPL Roadmap. Source: RippleX XRPL has recorded over $1 billion in monthly stablecoin volume. It now ranks in the top 10 chains for real-world asset activity. RippleX sees these milestones as proof that institutional DeFi is scaling fast. “This momentum underscores XRPL’s evolution into a leading blockchain for real-world finance. The ledger is increasingly positioned to power two of the most significant use cases in global markets today: stablecoin payments and collateral management, with tokenization providing the essential foundation. What began as an ambitious vision for regulated, on-chain finance is now rapidly becoming industry standard,” RippleX said in a press release shared with BeInCrypto. This shift mirrors what we have seen in tokenization markets. BeInCrypto recently reported on the US Department of Commerce’s plans to put macroeconomic data like GDP and PCE Index on the blockchain, highlighting growing mainstream adoption of digital assets. XRPL’s Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard is part of that same wave, aiming to give issuers tools for regulated on-chain finance. We also covered the rise of compliance-first DeFi platforms earlier this year. Ripple’s permissioned DEX launch was one example of…
