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.

Evaluating the Fan Token Index After Its First Month

Evaluating the Fan Token Index After Its First Month

The post Evaluating the Fan Token Index After Its First Month appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The first half of July was strong for crypto, with $BTC reaching a new ATH above $123k. But shortly after the Fan Token Index was first introduced in the July 27, 2025 article as a way to gain broad exposure to the SportFi narrative, momentum stalled. Despite another attempt at new highs in August, $BTC retraced by more than 10%. Given the high correlation and greater volatility of most crypto assets relative to $BTC, this period served as a meaningful stress test for the Fan Token Index. What follows is a review of its performance since launch. Source: TradingView The Fan Token Index was structured with a 50% allocation to $CHZ, serving as the core proxy for the ecosystem. The remaining 50% was equally divided among selected football club Fan Tokens that met defined criteria, such as: clubs with standout recent seasons, major trophies, or participation in upcoming main events like the 2026 World Cup or the Champions League. These include $ARG, $PSG, $BAR, $NAP, $GAL, and $JUV. As anticipated, the index displayed significant volatility, fluctuating between 95 and 114 before closing just below breakeven at 99.37 (-0.63%) as of September 4. Source: TradingView (price data), author’s analysis (portfolio construction). From July 27 to September 4, 2025. In the previous article, we noted that some might argue Fan Tokens cannot compete with the explosive gains of other tokens, like memecoins. As an example, we highlighted $USELESS, which had reached a $377 million market cap within just a few months of launch. Yet, as expected, that rally proved unsustainable: $USELESS has since fallen more than 55% as attention faded.  This illustrates the core difference, memecoins often behave like lottery tickets, reliant on fleeting hype, while Fan Tokens are tied to real-world events and narratives. Even if their short-term performance is less…

AVAX clears key hurdle after 8 rejections, Eyes on $32

AVAX clears key hurdle after 8 rejections, Eyes on $32

The post AVAX clears key hurdle after 8 rejections, Eyes on $32 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Journalist Posted: September 11, 2025 Key Takeaways A potential rally will only be possible if AVAX closes the daily candle above the $26.75 level. However, as profit-taking rises, the altcoin’s rally might be in jeopardy. After multiple rejections since the beginning of 2025, Avalanche [AVAX] has finally cleared its long-awaited hurdle, hinting at a potential reversal. This comes after the token climbed 4.5% over the past 24 hours. At press time, AVAX hovered near the $26.75 level, with strong participation from traders and investors. Data from CoinMarketCap showed that AVAX’s 24-hour trading volume jumped 50% in the last 24 hours. The rising trading volume, along with the price breaching a key level, shows strong upside momentum in the asset and hints at strong interest from crypto enthusiasts. Mapping Avalanche’s upcoming levels   AMBCrypto’s technical analysis found that AVAX’s daily candle has broken out of the key resistance level at $26.60. This breakout comes after eight rejections since January 2025, which has now opened the path for a massive price uptick. Source: TradingView The current price action suggests that AVAX’s breakout can only be validated if the daily candle closes above the $26.75 level. If this happens, there is a strong possibility that the asset could gain 20% upside momentum, pushing the price toward $32. If it fails, history may repeat itself and the price could face downside momentum. At press time, the Average Directional Index (ADX) on the chart held a value of 15, suggesting that AVAX was in a weak trend. Typically, when such a value appears on the chart during a breakout or breakdown, it fails. On-chain data hints mixed signals Investors appeared to be booking profits as AVAX rose. On-chain analytics tool CoinGlass revealed that over $4.86 million worth of AVAX had moved into exchanges over the past…

Bitcoin Jumps Past $114K As Markets Eye Fed Easing After PPI Report

Bitcoin Jumps Past $114K As Markets Eye Fed Easing After PPI Report

Bitcoin climbed past $114,000 this week, pushing markets higher after a surprisingly weak reading on producer prices. According to reports, the move followed a pullback in US PPI that many traders read as a sign the Federal Reserve may be able to start cutting rates. Related Reading: Institutional Adoption Rises: 21X Brings Chainlink Into Europe’s Tokenized Securities Market The jump was quick and loud on price charts. It caught the attention of both retail traders and bigger money. Cooling Inflation Spurs Rate Cut Bets According to published data, US Producer Price Index (PPI) fell to about 2.6% year-on-year, while core PPI — which strips out food and energy — came in near 2.8%. On a monthly basis, PPI showed a drop, one of the first such moves since March 2024. Based on reports, those weaker numbers fed hopes that the Fed could ease policy sooner rather than later, and markets reacted accordingly. Bitcoin’s Rally And Broader Crypto Moves Bitcoin hit roughly $113,850 on some exchanges before trading above $114,000, and Ethereum climbed past $4,400 as part of the same upswing. Reports have disclosed that institutional flows and stablecoin liquidity helped lift prices, and that investor positioning shifted toward risk assets after the data. Traders were watching support around $112,500-$113,000 and resistance near $115,000-$115,500 as the session progressed. Momentum was strong, but some caution remained. Bitcoin’s Technical Levels And Flows Market technicians pointed to clear levels. If support near $112,500 breaks, it could open the way to a short pullback. If $115,500 is cleared, buyers may push for higher ranges. At the same time, some on-chain indicators showed rising transfers into exchanges, a sign that profit taking could be ahead. Reports have disclosed that both demand and supply signals will be watched closely by desks and algorithmic funds. While PPI cooled, other data could change the picture. Consumer inflation and jobs figures are still to be watched, and those reports can keep the Fed on guard. Rate cuts are now being priced in by some traders, perhaps as soon as September, but that outcome is not guaranteed. If consumer prices re-accelerate or job strength stays high, easing could be delayed and markets may retrace gains. Related Reading: Tighter Premiums Put Crypto Treasuries On Risky Road, According To NYDIG What Investors Should Watch Next According to market commentators, the key near-term items are the upcoming CPI release, monthly jobs data, and Fed commentary. Also important are flows into spot products and the dollar’s direction — a firmer dollar would likely pressure risky assets. Traders will also keep an eye on how quickly liquidity moves from stablecoins into BTC and ETH, and whether profit-taking appears at the big technical thresholds already mentioned.

BTC Tests $114,000 on Cooler US PPI as Fed Cuts Loom

BTC Tests $114,000 on Cooler US PPI as Fed Cuts Loom

The post BTC Tests $114,000 on Cooler US PPI as Fed Cuts Loom appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key takeaways: Bitcoin broke $114,000 as data showed PPI inflation cooled sharply in August. Traders believe the data could push the Federal Reserve to cut rates in September. Long-term onchain trends show short-term turbulence occurring after Fed rate cuts, then longer-term upside. Bitcoin (BTC) surged above $114,000 for the first time since Aug. 24, extending its recent recovery as US inflation data came in far cooler than expected. The move follows the release of the August Producer Price Index (PPI), which dropped to 2.6% year-over-year versus forecasts of 3.3%. Core PPI, which strips out food and energy, fell to 2.8%, well below the 3.5% consensus. Bitcoin four-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView On a monthly basis, PPI even turned negative, marking only the second contraction since March 2024, according to the Kobeissi newsletter. Adding to the dovish tone, inflation figures from July were revised lower as well, with headline PPI adjusted to 3.1% from 3.4% and core PPI to 3.4% from 3.7%. In addition to the historic US jobs data revision earlier this week, which erased 911,000 jobs from the past 12 months, markets are viewing interest rate cuts as increasingly imminent. Market analyst Skew noted that producer inflation trends often lag behind those of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) by one to three months. This means sticky CPI readings could still appear in the short run, though the broader trajectory points to cooling inflation into Q4. While the PPI slowdown is encouraging, hedge flows may continue until CPI confirms the easing trend.
