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.

Powell puts September rate cut on the table as Bitcoin rises 2% and Fed odds swing to 90%

Powell puts September rate cut on the table as Bitcoin rises 2% and Fed odds swing to 90%

The post Powell puts September rate cut on the table as Bitcoin rises 2% and Fed odds swing to 90% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin rises 2% to $114,200 after speech. Ether rebounds 8% after 12% correction. US stocks gain 1%, yields drop to 4.27%, gold up 0.6%. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell shifted the market narrative on Friday by signalling that a September rate cut is under active consideration, a move that quickly altered expectations across global financial markets. Speaking at the Kansas City Fed’s Economic Symposium in Jackson Hole, Powell highlighted that downside risks to employment are rising and could accelerate in the form of layoffs and higher unemployment. This shift in tone sent shockwaves through both traditional and digital markets, with Bitcoin, equities, bonds, and gold all responding within minutes of his remarks. Bitcoin rebounds 2% after recent 10% slide Bitcoin (BTC) climbed about 2% to $114,200 following Powell’s comments, reversing part of a steep decline earlier in the week. The cryptocurrency had touched a record high above $124,000 roughly a week ago when market confidence in a September rate cut was near 100%. However, as expectations cooled to 69% in the hours before Powell’s address, Bitcoin slumped nearly 10% to $112,000. Data from CME FedWatch showed that immediately after Powell’s speech, the probability of a September rate cut jumped back to nearly 90%. This surge in confidence provided support to digital assets, which had been under pressure from fading hopes of imminent monetary easing. Ether bounces 8% after 12% correction Ethereum (ETH) experienced sharper volatility than Bitcoin in the same period. The coin corrected by about 12% after nearly reaching its all-time high, reflecting a deeper pullback in speculative tokens. However, ETH bounced nearly 8% following Powell’s remarks, highlighting how sensitive cryptocurrencies remain to Federal Reserve signals. The rebound suggests that traders are still positioning around policy expectations, with Ether’s sharper swings reflecting higher risk sentiment. Stocks, bonds, and commodities…

MicroStrategy (MSTR) Stock May Soon Make A Big S&P 500 Debut, All Criteria Met

MicroStrategy (MSTR) Stock May Soon Make A Big S&P 500 Debut, All Criteria Met

The post MicroStrategy (MSTR) Stock May Soon Make A Big S&P 500 Debut, All Criteria Met appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: MicroStrategy stock has satisfied every S&P 500 inclusion requirement. MSTR stock is pegged at around $335.86 amid a bearish market shift. The Michael Saylor-led company holds 629,376 BTC worth $26 billion in gains. MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock may soon be included in the S&P 500 after meeting all the set criteria. The update came on August 21, 2025, with indications that the company led by Michael Saylor had satisfied every requirement. If added, it could bring over $10 billion in inflows to the MSTR stock from index funds. MicroStrategy Stock and the S&P 500 Criteria The S&P 500 requires companies to meet strict rules before they can be considered for inclusion. MicroStrategy stock has now checked all the boxes, as highlighted by Bitcoin Archive. The company is based in the United States and makes more than half of its revenue locally. It is also listed on a major U.S. stock exchange. Market value is another key factor. Firms need to have a market capitalization of at least $8.2 billion. MicroStrategy’s market capitalization is pegged at $95.95 billion, far above the requirement. Trading activity also matters as a company must have at least 250,000 shares traded in each of the last six months. Notably, MicroStrategy stock has passed this mark, with strong daily trading volume. The rules also state that at least half of the outstanding shares must be available for public trading. This condition has been met as well. Profitability is another part of the S&P 500 inclusion criteria. A company must report positive earnings in its most recent quarter. MSTR Stock Meeting S& 500 Inclusion Criteria | Source: Bitcoin Archive The sum of its last four quarters must also be positive. MicroStrategy met these conditions, which means it cleared every hurdle for possible entry into the index. The…

Bitcoin Miner Hits Jackpot With Eight Consecutive BTC Blocks

Bitcoin Miner Hits Jackpot With Eight Consecutive BTC Blocks

The post Bitcoin Miner Hits Jackpot With Eight Consecutive BTC Blocks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Foundry USA unexpectedly mined eight Bitcoin blocks in a row, a streak that stood out on explorers’ and social feeds. Controlling roughly a third of the network’s hashrate, the pool’s run was unlikely but still possible. Summary Foundry USA mined eight Bitcoin blocks straight, from heights 910,500 to 910,507, in a run that grabbed crypto feeds. With roughly 36% of the network’s hashrate and about a 30% share of active pool activity, the odds of this streak were around 1 in 12,000 — but still within the realm of chance. The run shows how a few large pools can briefly capture multiple blocks in a row, underlining ongoing centralization concerns in Bitcoin mining. A rare streak of eight consecutive Bitcoin (BTC) blocks — from heights 910,500 to 910,507 — briefly drew attention across feeds and block explorers. The repeated appearance of a single miner made the pattern hard to ignore. The consecutive blocks were striking: one mining pool, Foundry USA, appeared across eight entries in a row, the pattern that was so clear and easy to notice, that it quickly became the focus of attention. Size matters As of late 2024, Foundry USA controlled approximately 36.5% of the Bitcoin network’s total hashrate, translating to about 280 exahashes per second (EH/s). This dominance positions Foundry USA as the largest mining pool globally, surpassing competitors like Chinese Antpool and Luxor Pool. Mining pools by their share | Source: Hashrate Index As of press time, Foundry USA is reported to be one of the largest public mining pools, appearing on most trackers with roughly a 31% share of reported pool activity, per data from Hashrate Index. That reported slice meant Foundry USA was plausibly finding about three out of every 10 blocks on average in that period. The pool’s relative scale is the…

Unclear if tariffs will ultimately be one-time impact

Unclear if tariffs will ultimately be one-time impact

The post Unclear if tariffs will ultimately be one-time impact appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Beth Hammack, the President of the Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of Cleveland, struck a hawkish tone in remarks on Thursday, stressing the need to keep inflation in check. She warned that tariff impacts are only beginning to show in the economy and may intensify next year. While noting the Fed is close to neutral, Hammack dismissed the case for rate cuts in the near term. Key Quotes Both sides of the Fed mandate are under pressure. Its important to maintain modestly restrictive policy to lower inflation. Firms are trying to withhold passing on tariffs, but that can’t last forever. It’s just now tariff impacts are starting to affect economy. Full tariff impact won’t be clear until next year. Unclear if tariffs will ultimately be one time impact. Biggest concern inflation is too high, and inflation has been trending in wrong direction. Will view job data in context of broader economic changes. Labor supply has come down dramatically. The Fed needs to stay “laser focused” on too high inflation. We have a small distance to get to neutral policy. Does not see any sign of a notable economic downturn. Does not see imminent case for cutting rates based on current data. Doesn’t think Fed policy is far from neutral policy, no need for stimulative policy. US-China Trade War FAQs Generally speaking, a trade war is an economic conflict between two or more countries due to extreme protectionism on one end. It implies the creation of trade barriers, such as tariffs, which result in counter-barriers, escalating import costs, and hence the cost of living. An economic conflict between the United States (US) and China began early in 2018, when President Donald Trump set trade barriers on China, claiming unfair commercial practices and intellectual property theft from the Asian giant. China took retaliatory…

Bitcoin selling pressure from shorts ease as dip buyers return

Bitcoin selling pressure from shorts ease as dip buyers return

The post Bitcoin selling pressure from shorts ease as dip buyers return appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bitcoin Futures sentiment turns positive after five consecutive days in negative territory. Buyers returned after nine days, pushing Bitcoin’s funding rate to a weekly high. Since hitting $124k a week ago, Bitcoin [BTC] has experienced a strong downtrend, reaching a low of $111.9k. In fact, at the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $112,920, marking a 5.3% decline on weekly charts.  Amid this price drop, investors are rushing into futures, and demand has recovered significantly.  Selling pressure from shorts cool down According to CryptoQuant’s analysis, Bitcoin’s Futures Composite Sentiment Index turned positive after being negative for five days.  A shift into the positive zone indicates that aggressive buyers now dominate futures trade at the margin. Therefore, selling pressure from shorts has eased, and dip buyers have jumped to fill the gap.  Source: CryptoQuant When market sentiment shifts, it often drives the spot price in the same direction, triggering short covering and attracting liquidity that chases momentum. For instance, during the dip in early August, the sentiment metric fell below -1, then quickly rebounded into positive territory, pushing Bitcoin up to $124k.  More recently, after dipping to -0.7, the metric has again turned positive. Could this signal another rally? Buyers step in Notably, with selling pressure from shorts easing, buyers jumped into the market. According to CryptoQuant’s data, the Taker Buy Sell Ratio spiked into positive territory after being negative for nine consecutive days.  Source: CryptoQuant On the 22nd of August, this metric saw around 1.05, indicating a higher buying pressure compared to selling, a clear accumulation signal.  On top of that, Bitcoin’s Funding Rate surged to a weekly high of 0.0095, reflecting a higher demand for longs. Thus, these buyers entered the market to take longs in an attempt to cover easing shorts.  Source: CryptoQuant Not in…

Powell Signals Interest Rate Cuts In Jackson Hole Speech (Live Updates)

Powell Signals Interest Rate Cuts In Jackson Hole Speech (Live Updates)

The post Powell Signals Interest Rate Cuts In Jackson Hole Speech (Live Updates) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday signaled openness to possible interest rate cuts in his final appearance at the Fed’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, sparking a broader market rally on the hopes of a loose monetary policy. Powell has faced pressure from Trump to lower interest rates. Getty Images Key Facts “The stability of the unemployment rate and other labor market measures allows us to proceed carefully as we consider changes to our policy stance,” Powell said in prepared remarks, adding, “Nonetheless, with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” The labor market was in good shape and the American economy has shown “resilience,” Powell said, noting tariffs “could spur a more lasting inflation dynamic” that may be “a risk to be assessed and managed.” There is a “reasonable base case” that tariff impacts will be “short lived” and a “one-time shift in the price level” that would not support higher interest rates, Powell suggested while reiterating he believed the possible effects of tariffs on prices remains uncertain. Powell said the “balance of risks appear to be shifting” between the central bank’s dual mandate of full employment and stabilized prices, citing “sweeping changes” in trade, immigration and tax policy. Powell, in an apparent pushback to political pressures, emphasized decisions by the Fed on monetary policy are based on economic data: “We will never deviate from that approach.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped by more than 700 points (1.6%) to a fresh intraday high in the wake of Powell’s remarks, while the S&P 500 rallied 1.2% and Nasdaq jumped 1.3%. Big Number 91.3%. Those are the odds the Fed lowers interest rates by a quarter-point in September, according to CME’s FedWatch. Odds surged earlier…
