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.

Broadcom earnings in spotlight as AI chip rally tests investor patience

Broadcom earnings in spotlight as AI chip rally tests investor patience

The post Broadcom earnings in spotlight as AI chip rally tests investor patience appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Broadcom Inc. is set to report earnings on Thursday, and all eyes will be on the numbers. This year, the chipmaker has been a major beneficiary of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Since April, the firm’s stock has doubled, adding over $730 billion in market value, making it one of the top performers in the Nasdaq 100 Index. But the meteoric rise raises a key question: How much further can the stock climb? Investors worry that even strong results may fall short of expectations after such a massive rally. Their caution is understandable. Recent earnings from Nvidia and Marvell show that strong reports don’t guarantee market approval. Nvidia shares dropped more than 6% despite a revenue outlook in line with expectations, while Marvell plunged nearly 20% on weaker-than-expected data center sales. These reactions have sparked concerns that Broadcom could face a “sell the news” scenario. Nvidia’s report has already knocked 4% off the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, whereas the broader Nasdaq 100 is less than 1% lower. It’s an example of how brittle investor sentiment has become regarding chip stocks. Broadcom rides the AI surge  Broadcom is poised to report what are likely to be strong numbers in its latest earnings release and has a history of impressive results. Analysts estimate adjusted earnings per share will increase 34% from a year ago, to around $1.67, with revenue growing 21% to $15.8 billion. The obvious driver is artificial intelligence. Analysts predict that AI sales could reach $5.1 billion this quarter. That would represent almost one-third of Broadcom’s overall revenue and a 60% rise from the previous year. That growth highlights how AI has rapidly become a bedrock of Broadcom’s business model. Broadcom’s custom-designed chips, called ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), are at the heart of this expansion. Unlike general-purpose processors, ASICs are engineered…

What Gives Bitcoin Its Value? The 6 Core Factors

What Gives Bitcoin Its Value? The 6 Core Factors

The post What Gives Bitcoin Its Value? The 6 Core Factors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s value is anchored in its hard-coded scarcity, with a permanent supply cap of 21 million coins Its decentralized network is secured by Proof of Work, making it a tamper-proof and censorship-resistant system Social consensus from institutional, corporate, and national adoption solidifies Bitcoin’s global trust Bitcoin has no physical form and isn’t backed by a government or a bank, so why is it worth over $2 trillion? The answer isn’t hype; it’s a combination of hard-coded economics, unparalleled security, and powerful network effects. Here’s a breakdown of the core factors that give Bitcoin its real, durable value. It Starts with Digital Scarcity and Security Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin’s value is anchored in a set of fixed, unchangeable rules. Why is the 21 million cap so important? Bitcoin’s supply is permanently capped at 21 million coins—a rule embedded in its code. Unlike fiat currencies that can be printed infinitely by central banks, Bitcoin’s programmed scarcity makes it a powerful hedge against inflation. This “digital gold” narrative is a primary reason why the Bitcoin store of value index continues to grow. How does Proof of Work create security? The network is secured through Proof of Work, a system that requires immense computing power to validate transactions. This makes the Bitcoin blockchain one of the most secure and tamper-proof digital networks in existence, a fact demonstrated by its soaring mining power and network hashrate. A Decentralized, Uncensorable Network Bitcoin operates without a CEO or a central server. This decentralization is one of its most critical value propositions. What does decentralization actually mean? Thousands of computers worldwide maintain the ledger, ensuring that no single government or corporation can alter transaction history or shut down the system. This creates a transparent and censorship-resistant network for value transfer. Can Bitcoin be used as a payment tool?…

USD edges higher ahead of ADP – Scotiabank

USD edges higher ahead of ADP – Scotiabank

The post USD edges higher ahead of ADP – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) is tracking a little higher overall on little or no new developments. The minor lift in the USD may simply reflect a mild rebound from yesterday’s losses as the Dollar Index (DXY) remains well within recent ranges, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. USD firms modestly but holds broader range in quiet trade “High beta/developing market FX is bearing the brunt of the decline versus the USD, with the AUD leading losses among the core major currencies. A sharp fall in Chinese stocks earlier, reflecting reports that regulators are considering measures to cool market gains, may be a factor here. Beyond that, however, markets appear to be shrugging off yesterday’s Beige Book, which reported generally flat activity across the US economy, and the JOLTS data, which reflected a further slowing in the US labor market and some further drift in US yields.” “Job openings in July fell by more than expected and June data was revised lower. The fall in job openings came in areas that had previously provided leadership (government, health). This morning’s ADP jobs data at 8.15ET is expected to reflect slower private sector hiring in August, meanwhile. Although the ADP data does no track the NFP report that closely on a month-by-month basis, the broader trend in in the two reports (observed via the 6m average, in the chart below) shows a closer alignment, especially over the past year.” “Both series clearly reflect a clear slowing in the US labour market. Just how weak the jobs picture looks in August will shape expectations for Fed policy changes at the September 17th FOMC and perhaps beyond. In addition to the ADP report, US weekly claims, Productivity, Trade and ISM data are out this morning. Fed Presidents (voters) Williams (hawk) and…

Japanese political uncertainty in focus – MUFG

Japanese political uncertainty in focus – MUFG

The post Japanese political uncertainty in focus – MUFG appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The major foreign exchange rates have remained relatively stable overnight after the pick-up in volatility in recent days triggered in part by the sell-off at the long-end of global bond markets. Global bonds recovered some lost ground yesterday providing some temporary relief and helping to stabilize the foreign exchange market, MUFG’s FX analyst Lee Hardman reports. Softer US labour market attracts attention “The Japanese Yen (JPY) and JGBs have come under renewed selling pressure in recent days that helped to temporarily lift USD/JPY up to a high yesterday of 149.14 in response to fresh political uncertainty in Japan. There has been heightened speculation over the future of Prime Minister Ishiba. According to Bloomberg, the LDP is expected to vote on Monday on whether to bring forward a leadership election that is currently scheduled to take place in 2027. The party will be compelled to hold an early election if over half of the 342 party lawmakers and regional representatives seek one on Monday.” “However, the LDP have stated that the vote will not be anonymous which could work in Prime Minister Ishiba’s favour. Recent surveys from Yomiuri newspaper and broadcaster NHK have revealed that about 100 people are in favour of an early election compared to 50 who are against it whereas the remaining half of eligible electors are undecided. If an early leadership election is called, the yen could weaken further at least initially as market participants are wary that Sanae Takaichi, who came second in the last leadership contest, remains one of the favourites to be the next prime minister.” “The rise in USD/JPY in recent days has also been driven by board-based US dollar strength which helped to lift the dollar index by just over 1%. The US dollar initially benefitted from more risk-off trading conditions triggered…

Corporate BTC treasuries are a threat to market stability

Corporate BTC treasuries are a threat to market stability

The post Corporate BTC treasuries are a threat to market stability appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. Comparing this year’s Bitcoin (BTC) chart to the U.S. dollar’s DXY index makes for a stark contrast. While Bitcoin has soared to new heights, breaching the $120,000 threshold, the DXY has had a rough year — down nearly 10% this year to date — and is predicted to keep falling in the foreseeable future. In this environment, it’s perhaps unsurprising that more and more companies are turning to Bitcoin as an alternative asset to prop up their treasuries. But this seemingly innocuous trend could quickly turn into a threat not only to Bitcoin itself, but to the wider financial market. Summary Bitcoin’s narrative flipped. Once battling regulators, BTC is now embraced by states, institutions, and treasuries, while the SEC softens its stance. Strategy’s playbook is unique. Michael Saylor’s first-mover advantage, low entry price, and favorable debt terms mean he can weather downturns others cannot. If multiple leveraged firms panic-sell, Bitcoin’s entanglement with ETFs, pensions, and governments could amplify market shocks. The lesson: Saylor’s success is not a blueprint. Companies should strengthen fundamentals instead of betting their balance sheets on volatile assets. Only a year ago, $100,000 for Bitcoin was still a distant dream, while crypto was battling U.S. regulators and struggling to recover its image after the disastrous collapse of 2022. But what a difference a year makes. Fast forward to today, and the SEC has dropped or settled the majority of its lawsuits against crypto firms and has signalled a far more accommodating stance. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is increasingly being adopted as a reserve asset by a number of U.S. states and several emerging market governments. The attitude towards Bitcoin has completely changed. Not only that, but…

Weak Inflows Threaten to End 30% Monthly Rally

Weak Inflows Threaten to End 30% Monthly Rally

The post Weak Inflows Threaten to End 30% Monthly Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoin Analysis After a strong August surge, Solana is entering September in a vulnerable spot. The token has nearly doubled its monthly performance with a 30% gain and trades just below $210. But beneath the surface, on-chain metrics and technicals suggest the momentum could be fading. Investors Cashing Out Despite Gains While most traders are celebrating the recent rebound, long-term holders are quietly reducing exposure. Glassnode data shows a sharp decline in their net position change, with more than 1.5 million SOL moving out of long-term wallets. That kind of shift typically signals distribution, not accumulation, and casts doubt on the sustainability of the rally. At the same time, the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) index has climbed, highlighting that a large share of the market is sitting on profits. Historically, those conditions invite selling. In late August, a similar setup led to a quick drop from $214 to $205. With the ratio rising again, traders may be preparing to lock in gains rather than push the price higher. Technical Barriers Loom Solana’s chart reflects the same indecision. The $215–$220 zone has acted as a stubborn ceiling, capping every attempt at a breakout. Without a decisive close above this band, the token risks slipping back into its lower range. Adding to the caution, the Money Flow Index shows limited new inflows, meaning fresh capital isn’t arriving to backstop the rally. What to Watch Next Unless buyers return in force, Solana’s current structure looks fragile. A convincing move above $220 could flip sentiment and extend the uptrend, but if selling intensifies, a revisit of $200 or lower is on the table. For now, the balance between short-term traders taking profits and long-term holders cutting back has left Solana at a crossroads.
