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.

Shocking 22k US jobs report fuels $113k Bitcoin as rate cut odds explode

Shocking 22k US jobs report fuels $113k Bitcoin as rate cut odds explode

The post Shocking 22k US jobs report fuels $113k Bitcoin as rate cut odds explode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin rose above $113,000 on Friday as U.S. payrolls increased by 22,000 and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3 percent, pushing traders to price a September Federal Reserve rate cut with near certainty. Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics release, private employers added 38,000 jobs, government payrolls fell by 16,000 and manufacturing lost 12,000. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3 percent on the month and 3.7 percent on the year, the labor force participation rate edged up to 62.3 percent and average weekly hours held at 34.2. The U-6 underemployment rate reached 8.1 percent. Bitcoin traded above the $113,000 level during the session while hovering just below that mark on real-time charts. The weak headline gain followed a week of incremental softening across higher-frequency indicators. Initial jobless claims rose by 8,000 to a seasonally adjusted 237,000, while private-sector payroll growth in the ADP series cooled, reinforcing evidence of slower hiring, according to Trading Economics data Separately, the services side of the economy improved but showed persistent price pressure: the ISM Services PMI firmed in August, new orders advanced, and the prices-paid index eased only slightly to a still-elevated 69.2. On costs, the Labor Department revised second-quarter nonfarm productivity up to a 3.3 percent annualized pace and unit labor costs down to 1.0 percent, a combination that supports disinflation at the margin. Trade flows added another piece to the macro picture. The U.S. goods and services deficit widened to $78.3 billion in July as imports rebounded, the largest gap since early spring, per the latest joint release from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and Census Bureau. That pattern points to resilient domestic demand and front-loading related to tariff policy, even as hiring momentum slows.

Sora Ventures Unveils $1B Bitcoin Treasury Fund in Asia

Sora Ventures Unveils $1B Bitcoin Treasury Fund in Asia

The post Sora Ventures Unveils $1B Bitcoin Treasury Fund in Asia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The initiative is designed to mirror Bitcoin-first treasury models that have become popular in the West, with the goal of accelerating adoption across Asian corporate treasuries. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s Strategy is moving closer to a potential inclusion in the S&P 500 index, with analysts estimating a 91% chance of entry given its $92 billion market cap, strong earnings, and massive Bitcoin holdings. Membership in the S&P 500 will not only raise Strategy’s profile but could also increase passive capital flows into the crypto sector Sora Ventures Launches $1B Bitcoin Fund Sora Ventures unveiled an ambitious plan to create what it describes as Asia’s first $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund, which is a major step in the region’s push toward corporate adoption of digital assets. The announcement was made by founder Jason Fang during Taipei Blockchain Week on Friday, where he shared details about the fund’s structure and objectives under the banner “Introducing BTC Strategy into Major Asia Equity Markets.”  Sora Ventures revealed that it already secured a $200 million capital commitment from institutional partners across Asia, with the intention of deploying the full $1 billion into Bitcoin within six months. The company framed the initiative as a centralized institutional pool that is designed to replicate the Bitcoin-first treasury models that have gained traction in the United States and Europe. Fang explained that while Western institutions have steadily embraced Bitcoin for their balance sheets, adoption in Asia has been more fragmented.  By creating a dedicated vehicle, Sora Ventures wants to accelerate Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset for companies across the region. The fund will not only serve as a treasury strategy for existing firms but also support the creation of new corporate treasuries globally. According to Fang, this is the first time institutional money from local, regional, and global partners…

Pound Sterling advances against US Dollar ahead of US NFP data

Pound Sterling advances against US Dollar ahead of US NFP data

The post Pound Sterling advances against US Dollar ahead of US NFP data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pound Sterling trades broadly calm against its peers on better-than-projected UK monthly Retail Sales data for July. UK Retail Sales rose by 0.6% on the month, higher than expectations of 0.2%. Investors await key US NFP data for August. The Pound Sterling (GBP) moves higher to near 1.3470 against the US Dollar (USD) during the European trading session on Friday. The GBP/USD pair gains as the US Dollar slumps ahead of the United States (US) Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for August, which will be published at 12:30 GMT. At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.25% lower around 98.00 Economists expect US employers to have hired 75K fresh workers, almost in line with the July reading of 73K. The Unemployment Rate is expected to have accelerated to 4.3% from the previous release of 4.2%. Meanwhile, Average Hourly Earnings, a key measure of wage growth, is expected to have grown at a moderate pace of 3.7%, compared to 3.9% in July, with monthly figures rising steadily by 0.3%. The impact of the official employment report is expected to be significant on the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy outlook. Traders raised Fed dovish expectations for the September policy meeting in early August after July’s NFP report showed a significant downward revision in payrolls figures of May and June. Additionally, Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members have also warned about escalating downside risks to the labor market in the wake of tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the Fed is certain to cut interest rates in the September policy meeting. Meanwhile, the ADP Employment Change report for August, on Thursday, also showed a slowdown in labor demand in the private sector. Moreover,…

AI remains Wall Street’s hottest theme, but profit boost still missing

AI remains Wall Street’s hottest theme, but profit boost still missing

The post AI remains Wall Street’s hottest theme, but profit boost still missing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Artificial intelligence is the talk of corporate America, but the financial payoff is still out of reach, Goldman Sachs said in a note on Thursday. The bank found that chatter about AI on earnings calls hit a new high last quarter, even as few companies could point to clear gains in profit. In Q2, a record 58% of S&P 500 firms referenced AI on investor calls, Goldman’s analysts said. Executives highlighted new tools for customer service, software coding, and marketing. Yet “the share of companies quantifying the impact of AI on earnings today remains limited,” the note said. That matches a recent McKinsey survey in which more than 80% of firms reported that generative AI has not meaningfully affected their bottom line. The lack of hard results has not cooled Wall Street’s enthusiasm. Shares tied to the AI theme are up 17% this year, after a 32% jump in 2024, Goldman said. Broader valuations have climbed as well. The S&P 500 now trades at one of its costliest levels on record. However, it’s still below the extremes of the late-1990s dot-com era and the 2021 tech surge, the analysts wrote. Goldman outlines four phases of the AI trade Goldman mapped the AI trade into four phases to explain where markets stand and what could follow. Phase 1 centered on Nvidia, whose chips power many AI models. Phase 2, where the market sits today. It is powered by the biggest cloud operators, including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta and Oracle. Combined, those giants are projected to commit $368 billion to capital projects in 2025, versus $239 billion in 2024 and $154 billion in 2023. This investment wave has boosted semiconductor makers, power providers, and other firms that build and run the underlying infrastructure. As reported by Business Insider, the next steps are…

The First AI Growth Agent

The First AI Growth Agent

The post The First AI Growth Agent appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. 1.   What is XerpaAI and why did the team decide to start now? XerpaAI is inspired by the Sherpa. By the summer of 2025, only about 7,600 people in history had ever reached the top of Mount Everest. Almost all of them — more than 99% — did it with the help of Sherpa guides. These guides carry the heavy loads, fix the ropes, and clear dangerous paths so climbers can focus on climbing. The number of people who made it to the top without a Sherpa is so small you could count them on your fingers. Growing a startup is much the same. You can try to climb alone, but your chances of success drop fast. Most projects — whether they realize it or not — need their own “Sherpa” for growth. XerpaAI is the world’s first AGA: AI Growth Agent. Unlike advice-only tools, AGA climbs alongside you — automating the entire growth journey. We started now because our team has lived through every stage of the startup journey — from scaling late-stage unicorns like WeWork, to building blockchain tools used worldwide like MetaMask, to creating and selling our own companies. Along the way, we saw the same gap again and again: emerging projects lacked a single, reliable growth engine. Today, with AI finally mature enough to power end-to-end automation, we’re filling that gap. 2.   What’s your target market and who’s your ideal client? Our first “mountain” is Web3 — an industry full of rapid opportunities, but also steep drops if you miss your timing. After that, we plan to expand into AI, which moves at the same speed and carries similar risks. In a year, we plan to acquire and serve all three types of clients: Web3 projects, Web3 and AI hybrid, and AI projects. Currently,…

What Could Block Strategy’s Path to the S&P 500

What Could Block Strategy’s Path to the S&P 500

The post What Could Block Strategy’s Path to the S&P 500 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor’s Strategy could be the next crypto company to join the S&P 500 stock market index, a benchmark of the 500 biggest US public companies by market capitalization, according to analysts. The company must still clear hurdles before being admitted, however. Market analyst Jeff Walton forecast a 91% chance that Strategy would join the index as the company moves toward meeting all the requirements to be included in the benchmark. According to data from Nasdaq, Strategy has trading volumes of several million shares per day, a market capitalization of over $92 billion at the time of writing and positive generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income over the last four quarters of over $5.3 billion. Strategy’s financial metrics exceed the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the S&P 500 stock market index. Source: Yahoo Finance Strategy is listed on the Nasdaq 100, an index that tracks the 100 largest companies by market capitalization listed on the tech-focused Nasdaq stock exchange. However, despite the company meeting all the requirements and already being included in a major stock market index, it may still be denied inclusion if the committee tasked with evaluating companies rules against adding it after taking a “holistic” view of the prospective candidate. US Index Committee still gets the final say According to S&P Global methodology, companies must have a market capitalization of at least $22.7 billion, a liquidity ratio of 0.75 or more — the annual trading volume divided by the company’s market cap — and a trading volume of at least 250,000 shares per month to be eligible. The sum of a company’s net income, calculated through GAAP standards over the last four quarters must be positive, with the most recent quarter being profitable for inclusion in the index. The US Index Committee is in charge of…
