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.

Larry Ellison became the world’s richest person — but not on Polymarket

Larry Ellison became the world’s richest person — but not on Polymarket

The post Larry Ellison became the world’s richest person — but not on Polymarket appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite received wisdom being that Elon Musk is the world’s wealthiest person, crypto traders are suddenly doubting his ability to hold onto his title. This week, Polymarket traders were placing bets at 96% odds that Musk would slip from top spot. Those same binary options were trading at 15% odds as recently as Tuesday. Meanwhile, on US-based Polymarket competitor Kalshi, similar options traded down from 91% to 64% within 36 hours. That dramatic move in betting for the world’s top billionaire follows a world record in Musk’s personal compensation. Specifically, on September 5, Tesla’s board of directors proposed $1 trillion in executive compensation for Musk — the largest proposed pay package in history by at least two orders of magnitude.  Just three business days later, however, betting odds for him losing his top spot spiked 540% on Polymarket. According to the fine print on Polymarket’s resolution metric for its binary options contract, the reference for Musk’s personal wealth is specifically Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index. On that webpage, the second wealthiest person is Oracle’s Larry Ellison. Kalshi, in contrast, uses Forbes’ estimates. $1 billion difference between world’s two richest men Interestingly, Bloomberg’s estimate of Ellison’s net worth had jumped by a massive $88.5 billion as of 7:28pm New York time yesterday. Screenshot of Bloomberg Billionaires Index at 7:28pm New York time on September 11, 2025. This screenshot of Bloomberg’s ranking shows Musk barely ahead of Ellison. Specifically, Bloomberg estimated Musk’s net worth at $384 billion and Ellison’s net worth at $383 billion. A rounding error could have easily displaced Musk from the top slot. Indeed, if someone was refreshing their browser consistently, it’s possible that the webpage displayed Ellison in the #1 spot at some point yesterday. Moreover, there are third–party reports that Ellison did surpass Musk as the world’s richest person…

GLXY, CRCL, BITF Rally Over 10% While Bitcoin Treasuries Struggle

GLXY, CRCL, BITF Rally Over 10% While Bitcoin Treasuries Struggle

The post GLXY, CRCL, BITF Rally Over 10% While Bitcoin Treasuries Struggle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto-related stocks including Galaxy Digital (GLXY), Circle Internet (CRCL) and Bitfarms (BITF) posted double-digit gains on Thursday as bitcoin BTC$114,988.70 rose the highest since mid-August. Galaxy, a digital asset investment and data center conglomerate led by Mike Novogratz, added 12%. The company was a lead investor in Forward Industries’ $1.65 billion fundraising closed today to build a Solana SOL$238.49 treasury vehicle. It might also be benefiting from rising appetite for data center plays, as big tech firms make billion-dollar artificial intelligence (AI) hosting contracts such as Microsoft’s deal with Nebius on Tuesday. The same logic applies to bitcoin miner Bitfarms (BITF), which has set out to expand in high-performance computing and appointed Wayne Duso, a former executive of cloud service giant Amazon Web Services, to the board last month. The stock advanced another 18% today, extending gains to more than 60% this week. For USDC stablecoin issuer Circle, Thursday’s 16% rally could be a technical rebound absent any clear news catalyst, breaking the downtrend that started in June and saw the stock decline roughly 60% from its post-IPO peak. Circle (CRCL) chart (TradingView) Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN), digital trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) and bitcoin miners MARA Digital (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) also advanced. The companies outpaced the broader equity markets, with the S&P 500 index recently up 0.82% and the Nasdaq 100 index 0.69% higher. Meanwhile, bitcoin treasury vehicles Metaplanet (3355) and Nakamoto (NAKA) declined 10% and 14%, respectively. Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate owner of BTC, was little changed. The declines occurred even as bitcoin advanced toward $115,000, rebounding from an initial dip on rising CPI inflation and higher jobless claims reports in the early U.S. morning hours.

Solana, XRP, Hedera ETFs one step closer with DTCC listing

Solana, XRP, Hedera ETFs one step closer with DTCC listing

The post Solana, XRP, Hedera ETFs one step closer with DTCC listing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A fresh wave of crypto ETFs is inching closer as Bitcoin and Ethereum-linked funds gained Wall Street’s investment approval. Fidelity’s proposed Solana ETF (FSOL) and Canary Capital’s planned XRP ETF (XRPC) and Hedera ETF (HBR) surfaced on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) website. This move has stoked huge anticipation among investors for a potential launch. Amid the hype, Solana’s price spiked by 7% over the last 24 hours, while Hedera and XRP posted marginal gains. The cumulative crypto market cap regained the $4 trillion mark, printing green indexes all around. The Fear and Greed index remained “neutral” but rose slightly away from the fear territory. ETF race heats up The DTCC website on September 11 added the three products to the National Securities Clearing Corporation roster. This makes them eligible for clearing and settlement should they win approval. However, it is not a green light from regulators. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must still approve the products before trading can begin. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, in a post, noted that while a DTCC listing is procedural, historical precedent suggests that most tickers making it onto the system eventually launch. The commission has repeatedly delayed rulings on altcoin ETFs this year. In August, it pushed back its ruling on Canary’s XRP ETF to a window between October 18 and 23. Earlier, Cryptopolitan reported that the US SEC delayed Canary’s Hedera ETF decision until November, and extended its timeline for Fidelity’s Solana ETF into October. Trump Media plots 5 ETFs The ETF FOMO might peak this season as Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT.O) announced plans for five new “Truth Social Funds” ETFs. It is targeting themes such as American defense, energy security, and red-state real estate. Shares are reportedly set to list on the NYSE Arca later…

Global crypto market cap smashes above $4 trillion

Global crypto market cap smashes above $4 trillion

The post Global crypto market cap smashes above $4 trillion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The global cryptocurrency market capitalization topped $4 trillion on Friday, September 12, continuing this month’s generally rising trend. Enjoying renewed institutional interest and recording $1.7 billion in fresh U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows over the past week, Bitcoin (BTC) still dominates, accounting for $2.95 trillion of the total, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Crypto market cap. Source: CoinMarketCap To put things into perspective, Ethereum (ETH), the second largest crypto, sits at about $546 billion, with ETF inflows of only $232 million over the same period. Stablecoins account for around $268 billion of the overall market cap, while other cryptocurrencies are worth just over $900 billion. Macroeconomic conditions still shaky the surge in the crypto market comes asthe macroeconomic environment remains uncertain. The latest consumer price index (CPI) update showed annual inflation rising to 2.9% in August, the highest since January.  However, the data also showed that wholesale costs slightly eased, implying that while inflation is still rising, it is doing so at a slower pace. 12-month percent change in CPI. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics The Fed has resisted cutting rates for more than a year, but traders are betting on it in expectation of the upcoming policy meeting next week, with the cryptocurrency-based prediction platform Polymarket giving it an 87% chance of happening.  The optimism is hardly surprising. Namely, momentum in financial markets was building up in July, and a potential rate cut could reinforce that trend.  Naturally, the implications would extend far beyond Bitcoin. Ethereum and other Layer-1 (L1) networks, for instance, have shown strong sensitivity to U.S. monetary policy shifts, as have altcoins, which are known to swing more sharply during liquidity rotations. “At present levels, the next leg for price will hinge primarily on the U.S. monetary policy pivot and the durability of flows…

Vietnam’s strict 5-year digital asset framework pilot kicks off

Vietnam’s strict 5-year digital asset framework pilot kicks off

The post Vietnam’s strict 5-year digital asset framework pilot kicks off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > Vietnam’s strict 5-year digital asset framework pilot kicks off Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc has signed a resolution implementing a five-year pilot program for a digital asset market framework, which brings with it stringent requirements affecting domestic and foreign investors, as well as an equally strict licensing regime for digital asset service providers. According to a September 9 report from the Government Electronic Newspaper of Vietnam, the framework establishes new rules for the trading and issuance of digital assets, with the emphasis on a safety-first approach. “The pilot implementation of the crypto-asset market is carried out on the principles of caution, control,” said the report, adding that it was “a roadmap suitable to practice safety, transparency, efficiency, and protection of the rights and legitimate interests of organizations and individuals participating in the crypto-asset market.” Strict new requirements for investors and businesses With the pilot’s introduction, which takes effect immediately, any businesses and organizations providing digital asset services, issuing digital assets, participating in digital asset investment, and operating in the Vietnamese market will be subject to a range of new controls. Firstly, the offering, issuance, trading, and payment of digital assets must be made in Vietnamese Dong. In addition, organizations issuing digital assets must be Vietnamese and registered to operate as a limited liability company or a joint stock company under the country’s enterprise laws. Another mandate requires that digital assets be issued based on underlying “real assets,” excluding securities or fiat currencies. In other words, the issuance of fiat currency-backed digital assets is banned. In order to “ensure security and safety” for consumers, issuers, traders, and service providers must all comply with relevant anti-money laundering (AML), terrorist financing, financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, electronic transactions, network information security, network…
