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.

Russia, tightening on digital assets and mining from 2026

Russia, tightening on digital assets and mining from 2026

The post Russia, tightening on digital assets and mining from 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Moscow — update September 18, 2025. The Bank of Russia, as reported by TASS and the guidelines published on the official website of the Bank of Russia, will initiate an expanded phase of supervision on digital assets and mining activities starting in 2026. The goal is to increase transparency and improve investor protection, integrating the control of information flow with tax and network data. International data and maps, such as those from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, confirm that Russia remains among the countries with a significant contribution to the global hashrate, making targeted supervision CBECI relevant. Industry analysts note that the systematic cross-referencing of tax and network data can improve the traceability of mining activities and facilitate the identification of anomalies. According to data collected by our analysis team and field feedback, since the end of 2024 there has been an increased frequency of reports and notifications among operators, tax consultants, and supervisory authorities, in preparation for the implementation of new measures in 2026. In brief From 2026, the Bank of Russia will receive periodic information flows from miners and mining infrastructure operators, in order to cross-reference this data with tax information. The existing regulations on mining, currently in force – with the activity allowed for registered entities and for individuals limited to a maximum of 6,000 kWh/month (CryptoNews) – remain confirmed. The controls will extend to the sale and risks of products linked to currencies and digital assets intended for qualified investors. Guidelines and Official Sources The new plan falls within the guidelines for the development of the financial market “2026 and beyond,” released by the Bank of Russia (cbr.ru) and reported by various Russian media. In practice, the regulator will periodically receive information on the activity of miners and operators of mining infrastructures, strengthening the enforcement…

Grayscale’s XRP, SOL, ADA Fund To Begin Trading Tomorrow

Grayscale’s XRP, SOL, ADA Fund To Begin Trading Tomorrow

The post Grayscale’s XRP, SOL, ADA Fund To Begin Trading Tomorrow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale Investments has secured approval to begin trading on NYSE Arca tomorrow. Also, the fund will be traded under a new name called Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF. Grayscale Converts $GDLC Trust Into CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF on NYSE The ETF, formerly known as the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund ($GDLC), will hold a basket of five leading digital assets. These are Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. The move marks one of the most significant transitions for a crypto investment vehicle in the United States to date. According to the Form 8-A filing with the SEC, the fund has officially changed its name. The document confirms that shares of the ETF will be listed on NYSE Arca, opening direct access for investors. The registration statement outlines that investors will own equal, fractional interests in the fund’s capital, assets, and distributions. Making it a fully regulated ETF allows more people to trade it. This shift also eliminates redemption restrictions and other similar limitations. These limitations have prevented adoption from big players. Grayscale received the SEC’s approval for this fund to be listed on the NYSE months ago. By tying the fund’s brand to CoinDesk’s index methodology, Grayscale signals a push toward recognized benchmarks in crypto markets. The ETF now positions itself against spot Bitcoin ETFs while expanding investor exposure beyond the two leading digital assets. Back-to-Back ETF Launches Boost Market Momentum as Prices Surge Momentum in the market is accelerating. Just today, the first spot XRP ETF launched, making history as the first regulated product offering direct exposure to XRP. Tomorrow, Grayscale’s fund will follow. Analysts suggest this one-two development represents a turning point in crypto’s institutional adoption. Market commentator Gabriel Garcia stated that the developments are a sign that the crypto market is changing rapidly. The ETF could enjoy…

Double Good News for XRP from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse: “XRP Spot ETF to Be Approved, US to Add XRP to Reserve!” Here Are His Critical Statements!

Double Good News for XRP from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse: “XRP Spot ETF to Be Approved, US to Add XRP to Reserve!” Here Are His Critical Statements!

The post Double Good News for XRP from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse: “XRP Spot ETF to Be Approved, US to Add XRP to Reserve!” Here Are His Critical Statements! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Today is expected to be a critical day for XRP, as the first US XRP ETF is expected to be approved today. While critical news was awaited for XRP, important statements came from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Speaking to Bloomberg, Ripple CEO stated that XRP ETF approval is only a matter of time and that XRP could be added to the White House reserves. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that approval of an XRP spot ETF is inevitable and that XRP could soon be included in the US government’s digital asset stockpile. “XRP will be part of a cryptocurrency stockpile along with other major cryptocurrencies. With these, XRP will no longer be seen as just a trading asset, but as a trusted cryptocurrency for institutional use.” Garlinghouse emphasized that the addition of XRP to the US digital stock reflects increased confidence in XRP’s stability and its growing role in global financial systems. Garlinghouse stated that he expects an XRP spot ETF to launch by the end of the year, noting that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently reviewing applications from major asset managers such as Franklin Templeton and Bitwise. “Approval of the XRP ETF is inevitable. This ETF will allow large investors to safely enter the XRP market. It will provide investors with a safer and more regulated way to invest in XRP.” The government’s inclusion of XRP and the growing discussions about an upcoming ETF are seen as a sign that digital assets are becoming increasingly accepted in the mainstream financial system. *This is not investment advice.

Price Prediction 9/18: BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA

Price Prediction 9/18: BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA

BNB attained a new all-time high a few hours ago, peaking above $1,000 for the first time. However, it is experiencing slight selling pressure at the time of writing and trades slightly below the ATH. Nonetheless, BNB is seeing a steady flow of volume, with the latest reading estimating a 32% increase in trading volume over the last 24 hours. Aside from the altcoin, the global crypto market is seeing slight increases at the time of writing. The cap broke above its 1-month high, peaking at $4.08 trillion. Buying and selling also picked up, with volume increasing by over 48%. Regarding fundamentals, the market’s reaction to Wednesday’s rate cut was not as significant as many had anticipated. Nonetheless, the latest rise in the price of several assets suggests no adverse reactions in the wake of the event. However, this does not mean that the investors are satisfied with the outcome. The fear and greed index moved by only 1 point, indicating no tremendous positive response to the 25 bps cut. Conversely, some cryptocurrencies saw massive increases over the last 24 hours. Aster is up by a whopping 319% during this period. A sweep through the top 10 shows that most are edging closer to breaking above a key level. Let’s take a closer look at them. BTC/USD Bitcoin ended Wednesday with slight losses following its rebound from $114,747. It prints a green candle at the time of writing as it trades above its 1-month high. The apex coin broke above $117k a few hours ago and edged close to $118k. However, it is experiencing slight rejections and trades at $117,461 after peaking at $117,934. The 1-day chart shows that BTC may see further increases in the coming days. One such indication is the bollinger bands. The largest cryptocurrency is trading near the upper band, but has yet to break it. Its current reading places the band at $118,726; this may be the next price target. However, the 4-hour warns of impending retracements. The apex coin is trading at bollinger’s upper band, indicating a high likelihood of a correction. Nonetheless, the moving average convergence divergence on this timeframe is positive, supporting the 1-day signal. While there’s a high chance of retracement, Bitcoin may flip $118k before it happens. ETH/USD Ethereum is trading at $4,600 and prints a doji at the time of writing. It saw slight increases but lost momentum and trades at its opening price. Nonetheless, it performed better on Wednesday, gaining 2% after rebounding from $4,416. A closer look at the chart reveals that it bounced off bollinger’s middle band during the previous intraday session, but has since lost momentum. MACD noted a slight change in momentum, causing the 12 EMA to slow its ascent. Nonetheless, the proximity between the 12 and 26 EMA suggests an impending bearish crossover. If this happens, the altcoin may slip below $4,400 in the coming days. The 4-hour chart supports this assertion, as ETH’s last five candles are among the smallest, indicating low volatility. However, it is worth noting that the asset is lingering close to bollinger’s upper band, and corrections may follow. XRP/USD XRP prints its third consecutive green candle on the 1-day chart. However, the current candle carried no significant change as the asset is grappling with slight selling pressure.  Nonetheless, the latest candlestick indicates a decline in momentum, and the 4-hour chart suggests that this may lead to a price retracement in the coming days. One such indication is the bollinger bands. The altcoin is trading close to the upper hand, hinting at the end of the uptrend.   Previous price movements indicate that the altcoin will drop below $3. A close look at the chart reveals that this is a key battleground, and the chances of a rebound at this level are high.  BNB/USD The 4-hour chart reveals that BNB experienced one of its most enormous surges on Wednesday. In the session starting at 20:00 UTC, it surged from $957 and peaked at $995. The coin crossed $1000 a few hours later.  However, the altcoin lost momentum afterward and is grappling with a drop in volatility as trading volume plummets. A closer look at the chart reveals that BNB is printing lower highs while maintaining a hold above $992.  It is worth noting that the asset is overbought, as RSI is currently at 75 and has trended parallel for most of the last 12 hours. These trends indicate an impending downtrend that may send the cryptocurrency as low as $950.  SOL/USD Solana surged higher and broke above $250 for the first time since January. The coin is edging closer to attaining its highest value this year, but indicators are blaring warnings.  The altcoin broke above the bollinger bands a few hours ago and still trades above them. Additionally, RSI is at 69, and a further price increase will likely cause the asset to become overbought. While these indicators suggest that the coin will experience notable retracements in the coming days, recent price movements indicate that SOL will surge higher, potentially reaching $260.  DOGE/USD Like BNB, DOGE is experiencing notable selling pressure at the time of writing. The 4-hour chart reveals that the coin had a more than 2% increase in the previous candle. However, it currently prints a red one.  A closer look at the chart reveals that the memecoin’s descent began after it broke above the bollinger bands. If this trend continues, the cryptocurrency may drop to a low of $0.262. Nonetheless, the relative strength index is at 61, a few points lower than its previous high. The readings from this metric also suggest that the ongoing correction may extend.  ADA/USD The 4-hour chart shows that ADA just attained a new high of the week. It peaked at $0.93 but sees slight retracement at the time of writing. The coin broke above the bollinger bands a few hours ago and still trades above it. Additionally, RSI is at 67, and a further price increase will likely cause the asset to become overbought. The previous price moment indicates no significant selling congestion at the current price. This may mean a further price increase, and ADA may test $0.95. The post Price Prediction 9/18: BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA appeared first on Cointab.

Grayscale ETF Tracking XRP, Solana and Cardano to Hit Wall Street After SEC Pause

Grayscale ETF Tracking XRP, Solana and Cardano to Hit Wall Street After SEC Pause

The post Grayscale ETF Tracking XRP, Solana and Cardano to Hit Wall Street After SEC Pause appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief The SEC said that Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund conversion into an ETF is approved for listing and trading. The fund tracks the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano. Other ETFs tracking XRP and Dogecoin began trading on Thursday. An exchange-traded fund from crypto asset manager Grayscale that tracks the price of XRP, Solana, and Cardano—along with Bitcoin and Ethereum—was primed for its debut on the New York Stock Exchange, following long-sought approval from the SEC.  In an order on Wednesday, the regulator permitted the listing and trading of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC), following an indefinite pause in July. The SEC meanwhile approved of generic listing standards for commodity-based products, paving the way for other crypto ETFs. A person familiar with the matter told Decrypt that GDLC is expected to begin trading on Friday. Unlike spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs that debuted in the U.S. last year, GDLC is modeled on an index tracking the five largest and most liquid digital assets. Bitcoin represents 72% of the fund’s weighting, while Ethereum makes up 17%, according to Grayscale’s website. XRP, Solana, and Cardano account for 5.6%, 4%, and 1% of the fund’s exposure, respectively.  “The Grayscale team is working expeditiously to bring the FIRST multi-crypto asset ETP to market,” CEO Peter Mintzberg said on X on Wednesday, thanking the SEC for its “unmatched efforts in bringing the regulatory clarity our industry deserves.” Decrypt reached out to Grayscale for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Meanwhile, Dogecoin and XRP ETFs from Rex Shares and Osprey funds began trading on Thursday. The funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a distinct set of rules compared to the process most asset managers have sought approval for crypto-focused products under. Not long ago,…

Solana Price Rally Nears Breaking Point — Hidden Risk Builds

Solana Price Rally Nears Breaking Point — Hidden Risk Builds

The post Solana Price Rally Nears Breaking Point — Hidden Risk Builds appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Solana price has been on a strong run this past month, gaining about 37%. But beneath the rally, warning signs are starting to show. Key holder groups are quietly reducing supply, while chart signals hint that the move higher may not be as solid as it looks. Whether Solana pushes past resistance or slips into correction now hangs in the balance on a few critical levels. Holders Take Profits While Hidden Selling Pressure Builds Sponsored One way to track selling or holding behavior is through HODL Waves, which show how much of the supply is held by different age groups of wallets. If the percentage of coins held by a group falls, it usually means that the group is selling. In Solana’s case, almost every key group has trimmed its holdings in the past month. The 1-3 month cohort dropped from 13.93% of supply on August 18 to 12.65% now. The 3-6 month group went from 12.92% to 12.03%. Even the long-term 1-2 year holders reduced from 22.51% to 21.20%. Solana Sellers Grow Stronger: Glassnode The selling is not surprising after a 37% rally. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. Sponsored But what is unusual is that NUPL, or Net Unrealized Profit and Loss, remains high. NUPL tracks how many wallets are sitting on paper profits. When it is high, it means many holders are still in profit and could take gains. On September 12, when NUPL reached a three-month peak of 0.37, the Solana price corrected by over 3%. Solana Traders Sitting On Profit Despite Selling: Glassnode This also takes us back to July 22, when NUPL hit 0.33. That peak lined up with a much steeper 22.9% drop in Solana’s price, from $205 to $158. Right now, NUPL is…

Japanese Yen under pressure as markets await BoJ decision and Japan CPI

Japanese Yen under pressure as markets await BoJ decision and Japan CPI

The post Japanese Yen under pressure as markets await BoJ decision and Japan CPI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/JPY extends gains for a second day as the US Dollar firms. The Fed cut rates by 25 bps, as widely expected, while signaling a gradual easing path. Focus now turns to Japan’s CPI and the BoJ interest rate decision on Friday. The Japanese Yen (JPY) trades on the defensive against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday, with USD/JPY extending gains for a second straight day after briefly sliding to its lowest level since July 7 in the immediate aftermath of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate decision. At the time of writing, USD/JPY is trading around 148.00, up nearly 0.75% on the day, supported by a firmer Greenback while investors await Friday’s twin risk events, Japan’s National Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) interest rate decision. The BoJ is widely anticipated to keep its policy rate unchanged at 0.50% on Friday, with investors focused on Governor Kazuo Ueda’s forward guidance. Japan’s economy has shown resilience, with Q2 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) revised up to 2.2% annualized and the output gap turning positive (+0.3%) for the first time since 2023, signaling stronger domestic demand. Inflation also remains above target, with core measures hovering near 3%, though the central bank projects a gradual slowdown toward 2% over the coming year. Despite stronger growth and above-target inflation, the BoJ is unlikely to rush into tightening. Real wages remain under pressure, limiting household demand, and the added political uncertainty from Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s resignation reinforces expectations that the central bank will adopt a cautious tone, with October or December still viewed as the next potential windows for a rate hike. Friday’s August CPI report will be crucial in gauging whether inflation pressures are continuing to ease. Headline inflation eased to 3.1% YoY in July, down from 3.3% in…
