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.

Altcoin Season Index hits 76 as BTC.D slips – Yet RISKS still remain!

Altcoin Season Index hits 76 as BTC.D slips – Yet RISKS still remain!

The post Altcoin Season Index hits 76 as BTC.D slips – Yet RISKS still remain! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Journalist Posted: September 11, 2025 Key Takeaways Altcoin Season Index hits 76, DOGE/BTC rallies, and BTC.D prints lower lows. Will the index defy the 2024 cycle? Beyond macro risks, a major headwind to Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) has been the altcoin market. On paper, BTC is reclaiming back-to-back resistance levels, the latest around $112k. And yet, BTC.D hasn’t recovered 60% of inflows, printing a red weekly candle. Meanwhile, TOTAL2 (market cap ex-BTC) is up 3.58%, showing capital is still chasing high-beta alts. The result? The Altcoin Season Index jumped 13% to 76 in a single day, officially signaling the first full-blown altseason since the election run. This also underscores the persistent risk-off behavior in BTC flows. Source: Blockchaincenter Simply put, traders are chasing outsized upside outside of Bitcoin. Case in point: Dogecoin [DOGE]. While Ethereum [ETH] is hitting a wall, with the ETH/BTC ratio failing at 0.04 resistance, DOGE/BTC ratio is ripping nearly 10% in less than two weeks, eyeing the 0.0000024 ceiling. Interestingly, the current market cycle mirrors the previous election run, memecoin mania is surging, BTC.D is slipping, and ETH/BTC remains capped.  Given how the Altcoin Season Index broke out in 2024 during similar conditions, could we be witnessing a repeat performance? Traders, why caution is warranted! During the election cycle, BTC.D posted its worst weekly run in two years. The Altcoin Season Index hit 88 by early December, dragging BTC.D down 10% to 54% in the same stretch. However, when BTC.D bounced back to 65% by mid-June, the Altcoin Season Index had crashed to 12. Alts got wrecked as overstretched positions blew up. Fast-forward to now, Coinalyze shows Bitcoin Open Interest (OI) dominance at 38%, meaning alt leverage is running 50% higher than BTC, setting up a crowded playbook.

Lagarde speech: Trade uncertainty has diminished

Lagarde speech: Trade uncertainty has diminished

The post Lagarde speech: Trade uncertainty has diminished appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), explains the ECB’s decision to leave key rates unchanged at the September policy meeting and responds to questions from the press. Join our ECB Live Coverage here Key quotes “Trade uncertainty has diminished.” “All governments need to operate on basis of EU fiscal framework.” “Minimal deviation from target will not necessarily justify movement.” “Euro Area sovereign bond markets are orderly, functioning with smooth liquidity.” Euro FAQs The Euro is the currency for the 19 European Union countries that belong to the Eurozone. It is the second most heavily traded currency in the world behind the US Dollar. In 2022, it accounted for 31% of all foreign exchange transactions, with an average daily turnover of over $2.2 trillion a day. EUR/USD is the most heavily traded currency pair in the world, accounting for an estimated 30% off all transactions, followed by EUR/JPY (4%), EUR/GBP (3%) and EUR/AUD (2%). The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, is the reserve bank for the Eurozone. The ECB sets interest rates and manages monetary policy. The ECB’s primary mandate is to maintain price stability, which means either controlling inflation or stimulating growth. Its primary tool is the raising or lowering of interest rates. Relatively high interest rates – or the expectation of higher rates – will usually benefit the Euro and vice versa. The ECB Governing Council makes monetary policy decisions at meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by heads of the Eurozone national banks and six permanent members, including the President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde. Eurozone inflation data, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is an important econometric for the Euro. If inflation rises more than expected, especially if above the ECB’s 2% target, it obliges the…

US CPI Inflation Rises to 2.9%, How Will Bitcoin Price Move?

US CPI Inflation Rises to 2.9%, How Will Bitcoin Price Move?

The post US CPI Inflation Rises to 2.9%, How Will Bitcoin Price Move? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US CPI inflation in the United States comes in at 2.9%, as it rises 0.4% in August, after remaining at 2.7% in June and July. However, the U.S. Federal Reserve will resume interest rate cuts next week after the latest jobs data signaled a weaker labor market in the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration pushes for larger Fed rate cuts after PPI inflation cooled significantly. Bitcoin price slightly rebounded on Thursday, but traders braced for uncertainty, seasonal weakness, and options expiry. Whereas, Ethereum price holds above $4,400 after the key CPI release. US CPI Inflation Comes in Higher-Than-Expected at 2.9% On September 11, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the August Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data. The data prompts the Federal Reserve to resume rate cuts. US CPI Data | Source: InvestingCom The US CPI inflation comes in at 0.4% month-over-month (MoM) in August, above economists’ estimate of 0.3%, but down from 0.2% in the previous month. The headline CPI inflation increased to 2.9%, after 2.7% in July. Whereas the Core CPI, excluding the food and energy prices, rises 0.3%, the same as in the prior month. The annual core CPI remains steady at 3.1%, as estimated by economists. Wall Street giants such as JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs expected CPI to rise to 0.32%, holding the 12-month rate steady at 3.1%. Goldman Sachs, Citadel Securities, and Pantheon Macroeconomics gave the highest estimate of 0.36%. Moreover, they estimated the headline CPI to come in at 0.36%, which would print annual CPI higher at 2.9%. At the time of writing, the CME FedWatch showed more than 92% probability of a Fed rate cut by 25 bps on September 17. Moreover, traders also expect the odds of three rate cuts this year. At the time of writing, the US…

‘Fat Apps’ May Lead Crypto Narrative In Coming Months: Bitwise

‘Fat Apps’ May Lead Crypto Narrative In Coming Months: Bitwise

The post ‘Fat Apps’ May Lead Crypto Narrative In Coming Months: Bitwise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new thesis that argues that most crypto value today is captured in apps, rather than blockchains, is gaining popularity with the rise of Hyperliquid and could shift investor behavior over the next few months, a crypto executive says. “All the cool kids are talking about the ‘fat app’ thesis. Feels like that could be a dominant theme in the coming months,” Bitwise chief information officer Matt Hougan said in an X post on Wednesday. The fat-app theory suggests crypto applications will absorb more value than the underlying blockchain protocols in the future. Source: Matt Hougan “It’s the kind of thesis that I suspect will appear in the mainstream media in 1-3 months. As such, I think it’s a valuable mental model to keep in mind as folks watch crypto unfold,” Hougan explained. A few layer-1s could stand out, but apps will dominate The Fat App thesis, which is a relatively new idea, challenges Joel Monegro’s 2016 Fat Protocol thesis, arguing that most value will accrue to the base layer — chains like Ethereum, Solana or Avalanche — rather than applications.  Instead, the Fat App thesis suggests that value concentrates at the application layer, with applications capturing more revenue and user attention than the blockchains they run on. Should more people adopt the thesis, it could change how investors value layer-1 tokens compared to application tokens. Source: David Phelps The Fat Protocol thesis has also garnered plenty of controversy over the years. Digital asset Investment firm chief investment officer Jeff Dorman explained in a report back in 2021 that the Fat Protocol Thesis has not been proven correct yet, as it could be due to reasons that “have nothing to do with value being captured.” He said it may be due to retail investors treating layer-1s as an easy index…

Bitcoin Miners Are Changing The Status Quo As BTC Price Hits $114,000, Here’s What They’re Doing

Bitcoin Miners Are Changing The Status Quo As BTC Price Hits $114,000, Here’s What They’re Doing

Bitcoin miners are shifting strategies as the BTC price rebounds back above $114,000 after declining from all-time highs. Instead of sticking to familiar patterns, mining firms are adjusting how they manage their holdings and operations, signaling a change in the status quo as market conditions slowly recover. Bitcoin Miners Shift From Selling To Accumulating A new analysis from CryptoQuant suggests that Bitcoin miners are breaking away from historic patterns as BTC hovers above $114,000. The data reveals a significant structural shift in miner strategies, with long-term accumulation taking precedence over aggressive sell-offs, even during price surges.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Jackpot: Solo Bitcoin Miner Nets $360,000 To Beat 1 In 800 Odds The Miners’ Position Index (MPI) has historically been a crucial market sentiment indicator. CryptoQuant revealed that sharp spikes in MPI often occurred during two critical periods—pre-halving, when miners sold operations of their holdings to secure liquidity, and late bull markets, when they took advantage of retail-driven price momentum.  However, the trend is markedly different in the current cycle. While some pre-halving selling has been recorded, the signature late-cycle liquidations are noticeably absent. According to CryptoQuant, this deviation suggests that external factors such as Spot ETF approvals from sovereign economies’ recognition of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve could be encouraging miners to hold onto their BTC rather than liquidate it.  The resilience of the Bitcoin network itself represents another critical aspect of this shift. Mining difficulty has soared to unprecedented levels, with its trajectory following what analysts have dubbed the “Banana Zone.” Such sporadic growth not only underscores miners’ confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential but also reduces the likelihood of a miner-driven supply shock hitting the market.  Transaction fees provide further confirmation of the recent changes in miner strategies. CryptoQuant notes that in previous cycles, spiking fees were usually precursors to overheated market conditions and inevitable downturns. Despite significant fee increases, Bitcoin’s price action has remained steady this time, showing a stepwise rally rather than a blow-off top. The pattern strongly supports the theory that miners are strategically accumulating BTC instead of releasing supply during short-term demand surges.  Mining Difficulty Rises Despite BTC Price Volatility  Even as miners adopt a longer-term strategy, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty continues to top the charts, climbing past 136 trillion earlier this week and marking a new all-time high. While this milestone highlights the network’s unmatched resilience, it comes during increased volatility in Bitcoin’s price action.  Related Reading: Shakeout Pattern Says Bitcoin Price Is Not Done, Why It’s Headed Above $130,000 Notably, crypto analyst Matthew Hyland pointed out that Bitcoin’s monthly Bollinger Bands have reached their most extreme level in history, signaling an unprecedented surge in volatility across the market.  In addition, over the past month, Bitcoin has dropped 4%, retreating from its ATH level above $124,000 to its current level of $114,000, according to CoinMarketCap. Although its 2.73% increase to $114,000 in the last week signals growing momentum, market analysts remain cautious about what lies ahead. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Revolutionary dYdX ETP Launch: 21Shares Unlocks New Investment Avenues in Europe

Revolutionary dYdX ETP Launch: 21Shares Unlocks New Investment Avenues in Europe

BitcoinWorld Revolutionary dYdX ETP Launch: 21Shares Unlocks New Investment Avenues in Europe Get ready, Europe! A significant development is on the horizon for cryptocurrency investors. 21Shares is set to introduce a groundbreaking dYdX ETP in Europe, a move that promises to reshape how many engage with decentralized finance. This innovative product aims to offer a regulated and accessible pathway to the dYdX protocol, an exciting prospect for both seasoned and new investors. What Exactly is a dYdX ETP and Why Does it Matter? An Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) is a type of security that tracks an underlying asset, index, or financial instrument. In simple terms, it allows investors to gain exposure to an asset like dYdX without directly holding the underlying cryptocurrency. This new dYdX ETP will provide a familiar investment vehicle within a regulated framework, making it easier for traditional investors to participate in the crypto market. dYdX itself is a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) platform known for its perpetual contracts and margin trading. By offering an ETP linked to dYdX, 21Shares is essentially bridging the gap between traditional finance and the innovative world of DeFi. This offers a regulated avenue for investors seeking exposure to the performance of the dYdX token. Unpacking the Revolutionary dYdX ETP: Features and Benefits A key highlight of this upcoming dYdX ETP is the immediate inclusion of a staking feature. This means that investors in the ETP will be able to benefit from the staking rewards generated by the underlying dYdX tokens, adding an extra layer of value. Staking is a process where participants lock up their crypto assets to support the operations of a blockchain network, in return for rewards. This dYdX ETP will make its debut on prominent European exchanges, specifically Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam, under the ticker DYDX. This listing on well-established platforms underscores 21Shares’ commitment to providing secure and accessible investment products. It also signifies a growing acceptance of crypto-related financial products within mainstream financial markets. Key Benefits for Investors: Regulated Access: Invest in dYdX through a regulated financial product. Staking Rewards: Benefit from the added value of immediate staking. Ease of Investment: Trade like traditional stocks through familiar exchanges. Diversification: Add exposure to the DeFi sector to your portfolio. How Does This dYdX ETP Impact the European Crypto Market? The launch of a dYdX ETP by a reputable firm like 21Shares represents a significant step for the broader adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) assets. It signals increasing institutional interest and provides a template for how other DeFi protocols might enter regulated markets. Furthermore, it enhances the credibility of the crypto space by offering products that adhere to stringent financial regulations. For the European market, this ETP could open doors for a new wave of investors who have been hesitant due to the perceived risks or complexities of direct crypto ownership. It offers a simpler, more compliant way to gain exposure. However, like all investments, it is crucial for investors to understand the inherent volatility of the crypto market and conduct thorough due diligence. Considerations for Investors: Market Volatility: Cryptocurrency markets can be highly volatile. Regulatory Landscape: While regulated, the broader crypto landscape is still evolving. Underlying Asset Risk: The ETP’s performance is tied to the dYdX token. A New Era for Crypto Investments The introduction of the dYdX ETP by 21Shares is a landmark moment, reflecting the ongoing maturation of the digital asset industry. It offers a sophisticated, regulated, and accessible avenue for investors to engage with the innovative dYdX protocol, complete with the added benefit of staking rewards. This move is poised to attract new capital into the DeFi space and further solidify cryptocurrencies as a legitimate asset class within traditional finance. As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, products like the dYdX ETP will play a crucial role in shaping its future, making it more approachable and integrated into the global financial system. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. What is the primary benefit of investing in the dYdX ETP?The primary benefit is gaining regulated exposure to the dYdX protocol’s performance, including immediate staking rewards, without the complexities of direct cryptocurrency ownership or managing a crypto wallet. 2. Where will the dYdX ETP be listed?The dYdX ETP is scheduled to list on Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam, two major European stock exchanges, under the ticker DYDX. 3. Will the dYdX ETP include a staking feature?Yes, a significant feature of this ETP is the immediate inclusion of a staking function, allowing investors to potentially earn rewards from the underlying dYdX tokens. 4. Is the dYdX ETP suitable for all investors?While it offers regulated access, investors should be aware of the inherent volatility of cryptocurrency markets. It is important to conduct personal research and consider financial advice before investing. Did you find this article insightful?
