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.

Polkadot Caps DOT Supply at 2.1 Billion After Vote

Polkadot Caps DOT Supply at 2.1 Billion After Vote

The post Polkadot Caps DOT Supply at 2.1 Billion After Vote appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polkadot introduced a permanent supply cap of 2.1 billion DOT through Referendum 1710. The new model will gradually reduce token issuance, targeting 1.91 billion supply by 2040. DOT price consolidates near $4.40, with resistance at $4.58 and support around $4.24. Polkadot’s community has voted to cap DOT supply at 2.1 billion tokens after passing Referendum #1710 with 81% support. The change marks the end of Polkadot’s inflationary model and aligns the network with scarcity-driven economics that have supported long-term value in assets like Bitcoin. DOT traded around $4.20 following the decision, up nearly 5% on the week, according to CoinMarketCap. With a market cap of about $7 billion, Polkadot ranks 24th among digital assets.. A Shift Away From Unlimited Inflation Under the old model, Polkadot minted roughly 120 million new tokens each year to pay staking rewards and secure the network. Critics long argued that this unlimited issuance made DOT less attractive compared to capped-supply competitors. The new framework will kick in March 2026, reducing issuance every two years until the cap is reached. By 2040, supply is projected to settle near 1.91 billion tokens, instead of the 3.4 billion that would have been created under the old rules. 🚨 DOT supply → capped at 2.1 Billion 🚨 The Polkadot DAO has signaled support for a hard cap, by passing Referendum 1710 on the “Wish For Change” track, with 81% in favor. Today ⤵️ → 1.6 Billion DOT exist→ 120M DOT/year minted each year→ No supply cap What Ref. 1710… pic.twitter.com/OJMtDumAZC — Polkadot (@Polkadot) September 14, 2025 Why This Matters for Investors The shift gives Polkadot a stronger investment case. For years, DOT lagged rivals like Solana and Tron, even though the technology has strong potential. With inflation no longer eroding value, DOT can be seen less as a utility…

US Economic Signal Crypto Traders Must Watch

US Economic Signal Crypto Traders Must Watch

The post US Economic Signal Crypto Traders Must Watch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. There are so many US economic events this week, but only a handful have implications for the crypto market. After the CPI (Consumer Price Index) last week, traders and investors will be particularly focused on the FOMC interest rate decision this week. US Economic Data That Could Move Bitcoin and Crypto Markets Traders and investors may consider cushioning their portfolios by frontrunning the following US economic data. Sponsored Sponsored US Economic Data with Crypto Implications. Source: MarketWatch Retail Sales Retail sales data tracks consumer spending, a key driver of US economic growth. Strong retail sales suggest resilient consumer demand, potentially pushing Treasury yields higher as investors anticipate inflationary pressure and tighter monetary policy. This often translates into short-term downside for crypto markets, as higher yields and a stronger dollar reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets like Bitcoin. Conversely, weak retail sales indicate slowing demand and a softer economy, which can fuel expectations of Fed rate cuts. That shift in sentiment tends to boost risk assets, including crypto, as liquidity becomes more accessible. Often framed as both a hedge and a speculative asset, Bitcoin reacts sharply to retail sales surprises. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch project a 0.3% increase in retail sales for August, which would mean a drop from the 0.5% increase recorded in July. Strong prints can trigger selloffs on this account, while weak prints can spark rallies, especially if investors expect a more accommodative Fed stance. Sponsored Sponsored “Following the release of stronger producer price index (PPI) data yesterday, US Treasury bond yields increased, and the dollar gained strength while gold prices decreased. The upcoming retail sales and industrial production data, which are expected shortly, will also aid in assessing the inflation trend,” wrote Asad Rizvi, Former Treasury head at Chase Manhattan Bank. FOMC Interest Rate Decision Meanwhile, perhaps…

Crypto Inflows Surge on Weak US Economic Data

Crypto Inflows Surge on Weak US Economic Data

The post Crypto Inflows Surge on Weak US Economic Data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto inflows benefited from a weaker-than-expected US macroeconomic data last week, pushing investments to $3.3 billion. It came as US economic data elevated Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto’s role as an alternative asset class. Sponsored Sponsored US Economic Data Drives Crypto Inflows to $3.3 Billion Last Week The latest CoinShares report shows crypto inflows rose to $3.3 billion last week, a significant recovery after the $352 million outflows for the week ending September 6. The correction followed price gains across individual crypto tokens, pushing total assets under management (AuM) to $239 billion. Notably, this was the highest level since the early August all-time high of $244 billion. CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, ascribes the trend reversal to weaker-than-expected US economic data last week. Among them was the CPI (Consumer Price Index), which, at 2.9% YoY, aligned with market expectations. “Digital asset investment products returned to inflows last week, totaling $3.3 billion, following weaker-than-expected US macroeconomic data,” read an excerpt in the latest report. For regions such as Germany, Friday saw the second-largest daily crypto inflows on record. Meanwhile, Bitcoin stole the show, attracting $2.4 billion in inflows. This was the largest weekly crypto inflows since July. Sponsored Sponsored Nevertheless, short-bitcoin products recorded modest outflows, bringing their AuM down to just $86 million. Ethereum Breaks 8 Days of Consecutive Outflows However, the key highlight in last week’s inflows was Ethereum, which broke a successive streak of negative outflows.
