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.

Why Are Memecoins Up Today? Rally Fueled by Bets on Fed Rate Cut and Altcoin ETFs

Why Are Memecoins Up Today? Rally Fueled by Bets on Fed Rate Cut and Altcoin ETFs

The post Why Are Memecoins Up Today? Rally Fueled by Bets on Fed Rate Cut and Altcoin ETFs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The memecoin sector is heating up as fresh altcoin season talks are starting to grow on social media, partly driven by expectations that the Federal Reserve will this coming week cut interest rates, a boon for risk assets. Bitcoin’s market dominance has dropped 3.5% in the past month, and its underperformance relative to altcoins has now seen altcoin season indexes, which measure the performance of top cryptocurrencies against BTC, enter “altseason” territory. Altseason, short for altcoin season, refers to a period in which alternative cryptocurrencies significantly outperform bitcoin. It often starts as capital rotates out of bitcoin amid growing risk appetite. Those include indexes from CoinMarketCap and CoinGlass. Over the last 24 hours bitcoin moved up just 0.3%, while the CoinDesk Memecoin Index (CDMEME) rose 7.1%. Pushing up prices in the CDMEME index are some tokens like SHIB and BONE, which recently puzzlingly surged after Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network Shibarium suffered a flash loan exploit. The growing performance of altcoins stems from growing risk appetite, as lowering interest rates makes safer investments like government bonds less appealing. This renewed risk appetite is fueling a cascading rotation of capital across markets. Traders on prediction market Polymarket now see a 92% chance that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points this month, and a 7% chance that rate will be 50 bps. On the CME’s FedWatch tool, odds of a smaller cut are at 93%, while odds of a larger cut are at 6.6%. Against this backdrop, a wave of altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is in line to hit U.S. markets in the last quarter of the year if these are approved. These even include a DOGE ETF and a TRUMP ETF. If approved, these ETFs could bring more retail and institutional investors into the altcoin space by…

Altcoin Season Index Hits New High As DOGE and XRP Rally

Altcoin Season Index Hits New High As DOGE and XRP Rally

The post Altcoin Season Index Hits New High As DOGE and XRP Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market has entered the altcoin season with the index jumping to 84. The value of the index affirms the fact that other cryptocurrencies are performing better than Bitcoin in the present cycle. Altcoin Season Index Rises To 84 The data from the Blockchain Center shows that the altcoin season index has risen to 84, confirming that it is alt season. This suggests that investors favor higher-risk, greater-reward tokens besides the leading cryptocurrency. Therefore, in cases where most altcoins outperform Bitcoin, it indicates that most investors are shifting investments out of Bitcoin into these other cryptocurrencies. This collective outperformance confirms the shift in market momentum and defines the beginning of altcoin season. Hence, the index at 84 confirms that the 75% threshold has been significantly exceeded. Source: Blockchain Center Recently, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart stated that the altcoin season has arrived. He noted that the purchase from digital asset treasury companies has contributed to this rally for several altcoins. The timing of this transition is important. Bitcoin season has dominated for the past 65 days, but momentum has now flipped. However, according to Blockchain Center, altcoin seasons typically last for an average of 17 days. The capital rotation from Bitcoin is apparent, as can be seen in the performances of meme assets such as Dogecoin and infrastructure networks such as Ethereum and Solana. If the index rises further into altcoin territory in the next few weeks, the question would not be whether the season has started. Instead, it would be how long it can be sustained. Altcoin Leaders Drive Capital Rotation Beyond Bitcoin This pattern is also reflected in the price performances of top altcoins. XRP is trading above $3.15 following a 12% gain in the last week. Ethereum remains above $4,690, maintaining its upward trajectory. Dogecoin price is currently…

Hacker Attack on Shiba Inu (SHIB) Network: Developers Issue Statement

Hacker Attack on Shiba Inu (SHIB) Network: Developers Issue Statement

The post Hacker Attack on Shiba Inu (SHIB) Network: Developers Issue Statement appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shiba Inu (SHIB) has frozen 4.6 million BONE tokens after it was revealed that they were linked to a security breach in Shibarium, the protocol’s Layer-2 scaling solution. The Shiba Inu team has issued an official statement regarding suspicious activity flagged by PeckShield. The project team announced the launch of a comprehensive investigation involving both internal security staff and external partners. According to the update, the details of the hack are as follows: The attacker temporarily gained validator voting power by purchasing 4.6 million BONE in the same block with funds obtained from the bridge hack. This power was used to sign a malicious “state” on Shibarium. The transaction was repaid using 224.57 ETH and 92.6 billion SHIB, similar to a flash loan. Importantly, it was stated that BONEs cannot be withdrawn because they are delegated to validators. Investigations showed that signing keys for 10 out of 12 validators were compromised. The attacker attempted to sell approximately $700,000 worth of KNINE, but all attempts failed because the K9 Finance DAO multisig address was blacklisted. The LEASH, ROAR, TREAT, BAD, SHIFU tokens affected by the attack have not been moved yet. However, the developers reported that they have taken precautions regarding the hack attack: Staking/unstaking operations have been halted to protect community assets. The forensic analysis process was initiated with Hexens, Seal911 and PeckShield. *This is not investment advice.
