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.

Stock market news for Sep 2, 2025

Stock market news for Sep 2, 2025

The post Stock market news for Sep 2, 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US stock markets closed lower on Friday, following some profit-taking on technology bigwigs. Market participants were also weighing in sticky inflation and the probability of an interest rate cut by the Fed in September. All three major stock indexes ended in negative territory.  For the week as a whole, these indexes also finished in the red. However, for August, the three major stock indexes closed in positive territory. Wall Street remained closed on Monday due to Labor Day. How did the benchmarks perform? The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) fell 0.2% to close at 45,544.88. Notably, 16 components of the 30-stock index ended in negative territory and 14 finished in positive territory. At the intraday low, the blue-chip index was down nearly 260 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite finished at 21,455.55, sliding 1.2% or 249.61 points due to the weak performance of technology stocks. At the intraday low, the tech-laden index was down nearly 307 points.  The major loser of the index was the AI-powered fabless semiconductor giant Marvell Technology Inc. (MRVL). The company’s second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. As a result, the stock price plunged 18.6%. Marvell Technology currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).  The S&P 500 tumbled 0.6% to finish at 6,460.26. Out of the 11 broad sectors of the broad-market index, five ended in negative territory, and six in positive territory. The Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK) and the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (XLY) plummeted 1.5% and 1%, respectively.  The fear gauge, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was up 6.4% to 15.36. A total of 14.8 billion shares were traded on Friday, lower than the last 20-session average of 16.4 billion. The S&P 500 registered 21 new highs and no new lows, while the Nasdaq posted 76 new highs and…

Strategy announces BTC purchase unusually late this week

Strategy announces BTC purchase unusually late this week

The post Strategy announces BTC purchase unusually late this week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy announced its routine weekly purchase a day later on Tuesday, leaving the market guessing for 24 hours. However, Strategy is back to making bigger tranches of BTC purchases to its reserves after several smaller buys.  Strategy kept stacking despite the unusually late announcement of the last BTC purchase. The company acquired 4,048 BTC for the period of August 26 to September 1. The relatively larger amount of BTC follows a few weeks where the firm showed weakness in its fundraising and shifted its rules on using new MSTR common stock issues to acquire BTC and cover operational costs.  Strategy has acquired 4,048 BTC for ~$449.3 million at ~$110,981 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 25.7% YTD 2025. As of 9/1/2025, we hodl 636,505 $BTC acquired for ~$46.95 billion at ~$73,765 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRDhttps://t.co/kR8Fw9AQkl — Strategy (@Strategy) September 2, 2025 The announcement followed the usual social media message from the company’s executive chairman Michael Saylor on Tuesday. This week’s delay followed Strategy’s waiting period for a decision on being included in the S&P 500 index. Strategy showed readiness to fulfill all requirements for a S&P 500 company, though the new round of announcements will be on September 5.  Strategy’s financing hinged on STRK, STRD, and MSTR To fulfill its latest BTC purchase, Strategy issued MSTR common stock, as well as STRK and STRD preferred shares. This time, STRC and STRF facilities skipped a week.  $425.3M came from MSTR issuance, as the company’s portfolio and BTC price fulfilled the conditions for adding more common stock. Only $20M came from STRK and STRD, and without the common stock issue, Strategy would have another week with a minimal BTC purchase.  The big MSTR issuance follows the decision to still sell common stock even at a lower ratio…

Is SKY’s 10% surge a bull trap in disguise? Marking major levels

Is SKY’s 10% surge a bull trap in disguise? Marking major levels

The post Is SKY’s 10% surge a bull trap in disguise? Marking major levels appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways SKY’s rally in the past day comes as Open Interest hits a new all-time high. Spot and technical indicators point to a potential decline ahead as liquidity weakens. In the past day, Sky [SKY] led market gains, recording a 10% surge within the period. Analysis shows that the drive behind SKY likely came from the derivatives market. However, opposing liquidity pressures could force the asset’s price lower. SKY hits record high The rally in the past day coincided with the token reaching a record high in the derivatives segment. In the past 24 hours, the governance token saw Open Interest rise to $2.33 million, a 27% growth from the previous day. This heightened flow of liquidity was accompanied by a surge in derivatives trading volume. At press time, CoinGlass data showed the long-to-short ratio rising significantly, with a reading of 1.14. Typically, a reading above 1 for the Taker Buy-Sell Ratio implies that buying volume outweighed selling volume in the market during this period. AMBCrypto, however, found that while the derivatives market appears to be tightening, liquidity in other fronts is being withdrawn. Liquidity steps back from the market Market analysis shows a shift in liquidity away from SKY over the past day. For instance, spot market data revealed five consecutive days of outflows, totaling $1.67 million in sales. That’s not all. In fact, technical indicators are flashing warning signs of a potential drop in the coming days. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), for example, has crossed into the overbought region with a reading above 70. The Money Flow Index (MFI), on the other hand, shows it is extending toward the overbought region above 80 but has not reached it yet. The setup suggests that while the RSI has flagged a potential drop in price, the MFI crossing…

September seasonality in play? – ING

September seasonality in play? – ING

The post September seasonality in play? – ING appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The dollar is drifting higher in quiet conditions. Weekend news about US tariffs being ruled illegal has not had much impact so far. US Treasury yields have been marked a couple of basis points higher, and US equity futures are slightly lower, ING’s FX analyst Chris Turner notes. 97.50 DXY support appears to be holding “The focus this week is on US labour market data, with the next important input being tomorrow’s JOLTS job opening data. First up, though, we get an update on the manufacturing sector today. Expectations are for a modest rise in ISM business confidence to 49.0, but still weak. There will be some latent interest in both the prices paid and the employment component, but we doubt this data will be a major determinant of dollar direction this week.” “The second factor could be seasonal dollar strength. US corporates have a big tax date on 15 September, where dollar payments occasionally cause ripples in US money markets. This was the case in 2019. We note as well that the DXY dollar index has rallied in seven of the last 10 Septembers. In short, it may not be one-way traffic to a lower dollar this September despite the prospect of softer employment figures and the looming Fed rate cut.” “97.50 DXY support appears to be holding, and more range trading may be the order of the day.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/usd-september-seasonality-in-play-ing-202509020935

Is XRP A Meme Coin? Analyst Reveals How Whales Are Playing The Game

Is XRP A Meme Coin? Analyst Reveals How Whales Are Playing The Game

XRP is trading below $3 after repeated rejections above $2.8 in the past 24 hours. A new chart analysis from crypto MadWhale shows the pressure building inside a descending channel that might push the XRP price down to $2.4. However, what stands out in his analysis is not just the price target; it’s the bigger question of whether XRP is starting to behave like a meme coin that is being controlled by crowd psychology and whale activity. XRP’s Psychological Cycle That Resembles Meme Coins In his analysis, which was posted on the TradingView platform, crypto analyst MadWhale outlined the repeating psychological cycle that often dominates meme coin markets and suggested that XRP may not be immune from it.  Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Yet To Hit Its First Bearish Target – Details The cycle begins with excitement, where social media buzz generates hype, followed by greed as traders rush in without much thought. This stage then shifts into social proof, when influencers amplify the golden opportunity narrative to pull in new investors at peak prices. It is at this very moment that whales begin quietly offloading their positions and cause the meme coin to enter a sharp correction. The result is panic selling by small traders, culminating in a capitulation where whales buy back cheap, restarting the cycle all over again.  According to MadWhale, this trend is not limited to meme coins alone, but XRP’s current trading behavior is showing signs of fitting the same mold. MadWhale described whales as “masters of illusion,” capable of buying large chunks to pump the price, spread optimism, and then sell into the frenzy.  This strategy is starting to create a cycle of retail fear and greed in XRP, where smaller traders are often left holding losses while whales re-enter the market at bargain prices. He noted that technical tools like Volume Profile, RSI, and the Fear and Greed Index can expose these plays. For instance, heavy volume accumulation at specific levels combined with overbought RSI readings and extreme greed sentiment show the perfect moment when whales start selling.  Descending Channel Points To $2.40 Target According to MadWhale’s chart, XRP is trading within a well-defined descending channel that has shaped its price action since July 19. The repeated rejections around the $3 price zone have caused lower highs that have made it increasingly difficult for bulls to mount a sustained breakout. The most recent rejection was at $3, and the ensuing selling pressure has caused XRP to create successive 12-hour bearish candlesticks. Related Reading: XRP Price Gets $20 Target: The 2 Scenarios That Could Play Out From Here The analyst’s projection on the chart shows a possible 14% decline to another major support resting around $2.40. This zone has been identified as the main daily support area, and reaching it would mark the latest stage of XRP’s corrective move inside the channel. On the other hand, any rebound attempts would first need to clear the $3 resistance. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.80, up by 1.4% in the past 24 hours.

Apollo CEO Marc Rowan says traditional investing model is ‘broken’

Apollo CEO Marc Rowan says traditional investing model is ‘broken’

The post Apollo CEO Marc Rowan says traditional investing model is ‘broken’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A version of this article appeared in CNBC’s Inside Alts newsletter, a guide to the fast-growing world of alternative investments, from private equity and private credit to hedge funds and venture capital. Sign up to receive future editions, straight to your inbox. The revolution in private markets and private lending is setting the stage for a sweeping investor shift out of publicly traded stocks and into alternatives, according to Apollo Global CEO Marc Rowan. With the stock market increasingly driven by passive investing and indexing, and dominated by a handful of mega-tech stocks, investors seeking diversification will need to start turning to the rapidly expanding private markets, Rowan told CNBC. “I do think [investing] is broken,” he said. “We had this notion 40 years ago that private was risky and public was safe. What if that’s just fundamentally wrong?” Rowan and Apollo are at the forefront of a tectonic shift in the investing landscape, with the lines between public and private markets blurring and the burgeoning business of private credit funding a growing share of corporate America’s growth. Get Inside Alts directly to your inbox A handful of private equity giants are now muscling out the banks and stock markets to make trillions of dollars of loans and open up new opportunities – and risks – for investors. Apollo, Blackstone and KKR together now have more than $2.6 trillion of assets under management, more than quadruple what they held a decade ago. Apollo alone has $840 billion in assets, up from $40 billion in 2008, Rowan said. “I’d like to attribute that to good management, but that wouldn’t be true,” Rowan said. “The answer is, there are just fundamental factors that are reshaping and growing private markets.” Those factors start with the post-financial crisis regulations that curbed bank lending and allowed the private credit…

Tesla lands on the chopping block as India mulls hefty tax on luxury EVs

Tesla lands on the chopping block as India mulls hefty tax on luxury EVs

A tax panel in India has called for a sharp increase in consumer levies on high end electric vehicles that may have a bearing on sales for automakers like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and BYD, according to a government document. The steep levies target vehicles priced above $46,000, according to the document, which comes as the government is pushing for Indians to buy domestic products as the US imposed high tariffs strain trade relations between the two countries. The panel’s proposals align with India’s PM The directive comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is looking at reforming the country’s tax system. Currently, India taxes all electric cars at 5%. Now, the Indian government has recommended hefty cuts in goods and services tax (GST) that could make everything from shampoos to electronics cheaper. A key panel that has been tasked with coming up with rate suggestions to the country’s GST Council is in support of sweeping cuts to many items in line with the Prime Minister’s overhaul. The document that details the recommendations however shows that the panel has called for raising taxes on electric vehicles. According to the document, the panel has proposed raising GST rate to 18% from the current 5% on electric vehicles that are priced at between 2 million and 4 million rupees which is equivalent to $23,000 to $46,000. For cars that are above $46,000, the panel has also proposed raising the tax to 28% arguing that these vehicles are for the “upper segment” of the society and largely imported and not manufactured locally. According to a government source familiar with discussions and cited by Reuters, the government has decided to do away with the 28% tax rate, leaving the GST Council with two options. The first is to increase the tax on electric vehicles to 18% while the second option is to put them in a newly planned 40% category that was created for certain high-end goods. Foreign automakers will feel the pinch in India The GST Council is expected to review the proposal at a meeting scheduled for September 3 to 4. The council is led by the federal finance minister and has members from all Indian states. Meanwhile, in response to the Reuters article, the Nifty Auto index went down as much as 0.05% as local automakers Mahindra and Mahindra fell 3%. Tata Motors dropped 1.2%. While the EV market in India is still small, accounting for 5% of total cars sold in April to July this year, its growth has been rapid. EV sales in the country surged 93% to 15,500 units during that same period. “The uptake of electric vehicles is increasing, and while the low rate of 5% is to incentivise faster adoption of electric vehicles, it is also important to signal that higher-priced EVs can be taxed at higher rates,” said the document, detailing the tax panel’s recommendations. With the latest proposal in the pipeline, domestic electric vehicle makers like Mahindra and Tata Motors may be affected, although their offerings above the 2-million-rupee range are limited. However, foreign electric vehicle makers that have luxury offerings will be hit the hardest. For instance, Tesla recently launched its Model Y in India with a base price of $65,000, while Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and BYD also offer high end electric vehicles. For Tesla, which entered the Indian market in July, it has already received fewer orders than it anticipated. The firm has recorded orders just above 600 since its launch in India. The company plans to deliver 300-500 units from its Shanghai plant in 2025, with the first batch expected this month, targeting cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, and Gurugram. In July, Tata Motors led Indian EV market commanding about 40% market share while Mahindra followed at 18%. BYD holds 3% while BMW and Mercedes account for a combined 2%. Don’t just read crypto news.

Blue Owl plays to broader investor audience as alternative assets go mainstream

Blue Owl plays to broader investor audience as alternative assets go mainstream

The post Blue Owl plays to broader investor audience as alternative assets go mainstream appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia (R) argues with Taylor Townsend of the United States (L) following their Women’s Singles Second Round match on Day Four of the 2025 US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on August 27, 2025 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. Clive Brunskill | Getty Images At the U.S. Open last week, a terse exchange between players Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko went viral — and brought alternatives manager Blue Owl Capital further into the limelight. Videos and photos of the exchange flooded social media. Ostapenko, the women’s world No. 26 from Latvia, pointed a finger and shouted insults at Townsend, who had won the second-round match but was later defeated in a competitive match against Barbora Krejčíková. As the camera panned in for viewers to get a closer look at the confrontation, careful observers could see a Blue Owl patch emblazoned on Townsend’s tennis dress. The $284 billion asset management firm, which focuses largely on private credit and real estate, is not exactly the type of household name you might expect to see sponsoring a tennis player.  Townsend is one of about 100 athletes competing in professional tennis tournaments around the world this year who are backed by Blue Owl. It’s part of the firm’s strategy to raise brand awareness primarily among high-net-worth individuals, and part of a broader effort to bring alternative asset managers out of obscurity.  Taylor Townsend of the United States celebrates winning match point against Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia during their Women’s Singles Second Round match on Day Four of the 2025 US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on August 27, 2025 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.

US stocks stumble into September as Asia ends mixed amid tariff uncertainty

US stocks stumble into September as Asia ends mixed amid tariff uncertainty

The post US stocks stumble into September as Asia ends mixed amid tariff uncertainty appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US stocks entered September on the back foot as futures dropped early Tuesday, with traders reacting to trade war fallout, rising bond yields, and fresh signals from Asia. All three major US indexes were in the red before markets even opened. Dow futures fell 189 points, or 0.4%, while S&P 500 futures slid 0.5%, and Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 0.7%. Profit-taking kicked in as the summer wrapped. Names that have led the charge this year started bleeding. Nvidia was down 1.5%, and Palantir lost 2%, dragging down the tech sector. The selling was clearly timed with the calendar flip. At the same time, bond traders didn’t hold back either. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.29%, and the 30-year yield climbed to 4.98%, setting the tone for the day. Wall Street shifts focus to jobs report and Fed call August closed strong for US stocks, but nobody’s celebrating this week. Last month, the Dow gained more than 3%, the S&P 500 added nearly 2%, and the Nasdaq rose 1.6%. That made it four consecutive months of gains for the S&P 500. But traders quickly switched gears. The next big piece of data is Friday’s August jobs report, which could shape the Federal Reserve’s rate decision coming mid-September. Overseas, Asia-Pacific markets had no clear direction. Some countries held firm, others slipped. The confusion is partly tied to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin. Trade tension weighed on sentiment after a federal appeals court ruled most of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs illegal. On Monday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that India had offered to cut its tariffs on US imports to zero, but he made it clear he wasn’t impressed. “They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it’s getting late. They should have done so years ago,”…
