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.

Active vs. Passive ETFs: Which is Right for Canadian Investors

Active vs. Passive ETFs: Which is Right for Canadian Investors

The post Active vs. Passive ETFs: Which is Right for Canadian Investors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become one of the most popular investment methods in Canada. Many feel that in the past couple of years, these funds have replaced the practice of opening a TFSA for retirees managing RRIF withdrawals. The ETFs combine the diversification options and liquidity, which is what the investors are after. The main dilemma for Canadian investors is now whether to invest in active or passive ETFs. In this article, we’ll explain the difference between the two and provide guidance for investors on how to choose the one that suits them, based on their circumstances. The Canadian Context Before diving into the difference between passive and active ETFs, we should explain the Canadian investment context and how it differs from similar countries. Being pooled investment funds, ETFs trade on stock exchanges like individual stocks. When investors buy an ETF, they buy a bundle of securities, including stocks, bonds, commodities, and even other funds, without buying any of the assets directly. The Canadian financial sector is heavily concentrated in the domestic market, and this allows for diversification. Canada is a pioneer in the ETF markets. The world’s first ETF was created in Canada in 1990. At this point, Canada has about $400 billion in ETF assets. Their value also grows at a double-digit rate. The major players in the Canadian market include BlackRock’s iShares, Vanguard, BMO Global Asset Management, and new companies such as Purpose Investments and Horizons ETFs. Crypto ETFs Crypto ETFS are a recent introduction in the world of tradable assets. These funds allow the owners to trade with cryptos without buying any of the coins themselves. Instead, the value of the ETF remains tied to the market value of the cryptos it contains. For a while now, crypto experts such as Cryptomaniaks have been writing about…

Positive view prevails above 171.00, eyes on French politics

Positive view prevails above 171.00, eyes on French politics

The post Positive view prevails above 171.00, eyes on French politics  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/JPY drifts lower to near 171.25 in Thursday’s early European session. Positive view of the cross prevails above the 100-day EMA, but bearish RSI indicator warrants caution for bulls.  The immediate resistance level emerges at 172.67; the first support level to watch is 170.60. The EUR/JPY cross loses momentum to around 171.25 during the early European session on Thursday. The Euro (EUR) weakens against the Japanese Yen (JPY) amid fears of a French political crisis. France is braced for a new political crisis as the minority government of François Bayrou appears almost certain to be toppled in a confidence vote next month, amid deep political divisions over an unpopular austerity budget and debt-reduction plan.  Technically, the constructive outlook of EUR/GBP remains in place as the cross is well-supported above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily chart. Nonetheless, further consolidation or temporary sell-off cannot be ruled out as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands below the midline near 46.65, displaying bearish momentum in the near term.  On the bright side, the first upside barrier emerges at 172.67, the high of August 25. Sustained trading above this level could pick up more momentum and aim for 173.00, representing the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band and a round figure. Further north, the next resistance level is seen at 173.90, the high of July 28.  In the bearish case, the lower limit of the Bollinger Band of 170.60 acts as an initial support level for EUR/JPY. A breach of this level could drag the cross toward the 170.00 psychological level. The additional downside filter to watch is 169.82, the low of August 5.  EUR/JPY daily chart Japanese Yen FAQs The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of…

Polygon Labs CEO Boiron: memecoin boom needs curation, not censorship

Polygon Labs CEO Boiron: memecoin boom needs curation, not censorship

The post Polygon Labs CEO Boiron: memecoin boom needs curation, not censorship appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron continues to push back against investors’ and traders’ fixation on memecoins. In an interview with crypto.news, Boiron makes the case that the industry is rewarding volume over substance. Summary Polygon CEO Marc Boiron says memecoins are not the problem; the lack of reliable discovery tools is. He calls for a decentralized “Google for crypto” to curate tokens by liquidity, audits, usage, and community strength. Polygon is focused on payments, stablecoins, and real-world assets, not memecoins,as part of its long-term strategy. Commenting on Base creator Jesse Pollak’s praise for meme-driven onboarding, Boiron says he has no issue with memecoins themselves, rather the lack of reliable discovery is a problem. With more than a million tokens launched and only a few breaking through, he warns the industry is diverting capital and attention away from real infrastructure that is more deserving of capital. His remedy is curation, not censorship: a decentralized “Google for crypto” that indexes everything while elevating tokens meeting transparent, on-chain criteria, such as liquidity, audits, usage, authentic communities, and more. Meanwhile, Polygon is prioritizing what it believes to be superior sectors of the crypto industry. This includes payments, stablecoins, and real-world assets and not a memecoin economy. “Polygon is not trying to be everything to everyone,” he said in the interview. In the Q&A below, we challenge Boiron on whether the memecoin boom helps or harms the crypto industry, how discovery works without gatekeepers, and Polygon’s plans to reward substance over saturation. crypto.news: Base’s Jesse Pollak has praised memecoins for sparking a “Cambrian explosion” of on-chain experiments and onboarding “millions more people” into crypto. In contrast, you’ve warned that the industry is overindulging in memecoins and prioritizing quantity over quality. Does this mean you see the current memecoin boom as doing more harm than good,…

US Dollar Index drops to near 98.00 amid caution ahead of US PCE inflation data

The post US Dollar Index drops to near 98.00 amid caution ahead of US PCE inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar Index faces slight selling pressure ahead of the US PCE inflation data for July on Friday. Traders are confident that the Fed will cut interest rates in the September policy meeting. Fed’s Williams argued that officials need to see economic data to decide on interest rates in September. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.12% lower to near 98.00 during the Asian trading session on Thursday. The US Dollar (USD) faces slight selling pressure as investors turn cautious ahead of the United States (US) Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (PCE) data for July, which is scheduled for Friday. Economists expect the US core PCE inflation, which is closely tracked by Federal Reserve (Fed) officials as it strips off volatile items such as food and energy, to have risen at a faster pace of 2.9% on year against 2.8% in June. Month-on-month inflation is estimated to have grown steadily by 0.3%. Investors will closely monitor the inflation data as it will influence market expectations for the Fed’s monetary policy outlook. According to the CME FedWatch tool, there is an 87% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in the September monetary policy meeting. On Wednesday, New York Fed Bank President John Williams stated in an interview with CNBC that officials need to see economic data to decide whether an interest rate cut is appropriate in the September policy meeting. “Risks are more in balance. We are going to just have to see how the data plays out,” Williams said. Meanwhile, the broader outlook of the US Dollar has remained under threat as US President Donald Trump has floated the termination letter of Fed Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage allegations, which has been seen as a serious attack on…

Deribit Chief Commercial Officer: The Altcoin Index 44 is far below the key level of 75, and macroeconomic factors are still not enough to start the Altcoin season

Deribit Chief Commercial Officer: The Altcoin Index 44 is far below the key level of 75, and macroeconomic factors are still not enough to start the Altcoin season

PANews reported on August 28th that, according to BeInCrypto, despite positive macroeconomic signals from China's economic stimulus policies and the Federal Reserve's potential September rate cut, an altcoin season has yet to arrive. Deribit Chief Commercial Officer Jean-David Péquignot stated that accommodative central bank policies could indeed increase market liquidity and drive speculative inflows into risky assets. However, the market currently lacks sufficient trading volume and broad-based growth momentum. Ethereum's recent price increase relative to Bitcoin is seen as a potential signal of a market shift, but it is not yet sufficient to trigger a full-blown altcoin season. In addition, according to CoinMarketCap Altcoin Season Index monitoring, the indicator is currently 44, far below the key level of 75. Bitcoin's market dominance remains at 58%, continuing to occupy a core position in the crypto market.
