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.

XAG/USD rises toward $39.00 due to increased safe-haven demand

The post XAG/USD rises toward $39.00 due to increased safe-haven demand appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Silver price appreciates as safe-haven demand increases amid rising concerns over Fed independence. President Trump announced the removal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud. Fed Cook’s removal could heighten the likelihood of earlier interest rate cuts amid Trump’s pressure to lower borrowing costs. Silver price (XAG/USD) recovers its recent losses from the previous session, trading around $38.80 per troy ounce during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The price of Silver gains ground amid increased safe-haven demand, driven by the rising concerns over Federal Reserve (Fed) independence after the US President Donald Trump announced to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage fraud. President Trump posted a letter on social media early Tuesday, saying that he was removing Fed Governor Cook from her position on the Fed’s board of directors. Cook’s dismissal may increase the chances of earlier interest rate cuts, given Trump’s ongoing pressure on the central bank to reduce borrowing costs. However, Cook said that she will not resign as there is no cause exists for her to be fired. I will continue to carry out duties, she added. Additionally, Trump warned he could impose a 200% tariff on Chinese goods if Beijing refuses to supply magnets to the United States (US), Reuters reported. Moreover, a Bloomberg report says that Trump threatened “subsequent additional tariffs” and export restrictions on advanced technology and semiconductors in retaliation for digital services taxes that hit American technology companies. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday that risks to the job market were rising, but also noted inflation remained a threat and that a decision wasn’t set in stone. Traders will likely await the upcoming release of the Q2 US Gross Domestic Product Annualized and July Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index data, the Fed’s…

US President Donald Trump threatens export curbs, tariffs in digital tax retaliation

US President Donald Trump threatens export curbs, tariffs in digital tax retaliation

The post US President Donald Trump threatens export curbs, tariffs in digital tax retaliation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US President Donald Trump threatened “subsequent additional tariffs” and export restrictions on advanced technology and semiconductors in retaliation for digital services taxes that hit American technology companies, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.  Market reaction At the time of press, the US Dollar Index (DXY) was down 0.26% on the day at 98.20. US Dollar FAQs The US Dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States of America, and the ‘de facto’ currency of a significant number of other countries where it is found in circulation alongside local notes. It is the most heavily traded currency in the world, accounting for over 88% of all global foreign exchange turnover, or an average of $6.6 trillion in transactions per day, according to data from 2022. Following the second world war, the USD took over from the British Pound as the world’s reserve currency. For most of its history, the US Dollar was backed by Gold, until the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971 when the Gold Standard went away. The most important single factor impacting on the value of the US Dollar is monetary policy, which is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability (control inflation) and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these two goals is by adjusting interest rates. When prices are rising too quickly and inflation is above the Fed’s 2% target, the Fed will raise rates, which helps the USD value. When inflation falls below 2% or the Unemployment Rate is too high, the Fed may lower interest rates, which weighs on the Greenback. In extreme situations, the Federal Reserve can also print more Dollars and enact quantitative easing (QE). QE is the process by which the Fed substantially increases the flow of credit in a stuck financial system. It…

Japan’s Finance Minister Makes Statement on Cryptocurrencies

Japan’s Finance Minister Makes Statement on Cryptocurrencies

The post Japan’s Finance Minister Makes Statement on Cryptocurrencies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said that cryptocurrencies can be part of diversified portfolios when a suitable investment environment is provided. “Crypto assets carry the risk of high volatility, but when the right investment environment is created, they can be part of diversified investments,” Kato said in a speech at an event he attended in Tokyo. According to Bloomberg, the Minister added that the government is careful not to stifle innovation with excessive regulations. These statements are noteworthy at a time when Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio has surpassed 200%, raising concerns. Experts believe this raises the possibility of implementing financial repression policies. Financial repression aims to reduce the government’s debt burden through methods such as inflation, low or negative real interest rates, currency depreciation, and capital controls. It is assessed that such policies could erode real returns on fixed-income investment instruments and cash, while alternative investments such as cryptocurrencies could become more attractive. *This is not investment advice.

Robinhood, Strategy shares dip as they miss out on S&P 500 inclusion

Altseason odds – What next after latest round of crypto liquidations?

Altseason odds – What next after latest round of crypto liquidations?

The post Altseason odds – What next after latest round of crypto liquidations? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Altcoin Open Interest hit $61.7 billion as the Altcoin Season Index hit 61 – Its first test since early 2025. And yet, fading rotational flows raised doubts about whether this breakout signals a lasting altseason or not.  In less than 72 hours, the crypto market shed nearly $20 billion, with Bitcoin [BTC] alone losing roughly $10 billion and showing that this cycle is still very much “BTC-led.” Backing this, Bitcoin dominance [BTC.D] slipped to multi-month lows at 57%, while TOTAL2 (ex-BTC cap) fell in tandem. All in all,  rotational flows remained flat, reinforcing a risk-off market. Altcoin OI surges despite muted flows Against that backdrop, Altcoin Futures Open Interest (OI) blew up +$9.2 billion on Friday, 22 August, taking the total alt OI (red line) to a fresh all-time high of $61.7 billion. This pointed to rising leverage in alts, despite short-term chop. Source: Glassnode Typically, spikes in OI tend to track Bitcoin’s price action. However, top altcoin OI (beige bars) has steadily climbed from $20 billion in March to $60 billion by late August, adding nearly $40 billion, outperforming BTC’s $30 billion OI growth over the same period. Put simply, the altcoin market might be overheated. Traders might be front-running an altseason, but with rotational flows muted, could this feed a volatility loop instead? Altcoin index breaks out, but history urges caution High leverage across alts amplified the pullback.  Supporting this, top altcoin Ethereum [ETH] saw a nearly 4% drop in OI over the past 24 hours, aligning with its 3% price decline. All while Bitcoin contained its drop to 2.68%. Having said that, top altcoins have endured deeper hits, initially triggered by BTC’s correction, but magnified as leverage got flushed out. This dragged the Altcoin Season Index down to 56 from 61 just a day prior.…

Asian markets open: Nikkei falls 1.01%, Sensex opens 0.32% lower amid tariff threats

Asian markets open: Nikkei falls 1.01%, Sensex opens 0.32% lower amid tariff threats

A stunning late-night edict from the White House has sent a powerful tremor through global markets, as US President Donald Trump abruptly fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, amplifying a wave of fear already stoked by his escalating tariff rhetoric. The move, announced in a social media post, was seen as a direct assault on the central bank’s independence, sending investors fleeing from risk and scrambling for safety.This presidential shockwave was not an isolated event but the crescendo of an increasingly aggressive posture. Trump had already put markets on edge by threatening “200% tariffs or something” on China if it restricts rare-earth magnet exports, while also warning of new levies on any country that imposes digital taxes. The one-two punch of a destabilized Fed and renewed trade war fears proved too much for a market already on a knife’s edge.A flight to safety, a sea of redThe reaction across Asian markets on Tuesday was swift and decisive. A sea of red washed over the major bourses, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 sliding 1.01%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index falling 0.44%, and mainland China’s CSI 300 dropping 0.68%, snapping a four-session winning streak. The sell-off, which followed a negative session on Wall Street, was a clear signal of investor anxiety.In a classic flight to safety, the Japanese yen gained 0.3% against the dollar, while gold strengthened to 3,372. The US dollar index, a measure of the greenback’s strength, fell 0.16% on the news of Cook’s termination, a sign of faltering confidence in the stability of US monetary policy.The tariff shadow falls on Dalal StreetNowhere was the presidential pressure felt more acutely than on Dalal Street. After kicking off the week with a rally fueled by dovish signals from the Fed, Indian equities were set for a painful reversal. A draft notice revealing Trump’s plan to slap 50 percent tariffs on Indian goods, citing New Delhi’s purchase of Russian oil, sent a chill through the market before the opening bell.At the open, the Sensex tumbled 258.52 points (0.32%) to 81,377.39, while the Nifty fell 68.25 points (0.27%) to 24,899.50. The sharp reversal wiped out the previous day’s optimism, serving as a stark reminder of how quickly the geopolitical landscape can shift under the current administration.As the dust from the overnight turmoil begins to settle, investors are now bracing for the next potential sources of volatility. All eyes are on the horizon, warily watching for bellwether Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report and the next reading of the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, searching for a steady hand in an increasingly unsteady world.The post Asian markets open: Nikkei falls 1.01%, Sensex opens 0.32% lower amid tariff threats appeared first on Invezz
