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.

Canadian Dollar weakens below 1.3900 as Canadian CPI data raises odds of BoC rate cut

The post Canadian Dollar weakens below 1.3900 as Canadian CPI data raises odds of BoC rate cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD trades with mild gains around 1.3870 in Wednesday’s early Asian session.  Canada’s annual inflation rate eased to 1.7% in July from 1.9% in June.  Traders brace for the FOMC Minutes later on Wednesday ahead of the Fed’s Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. The USD/CAD pair posts modest gains near 1.3870 during the early Asian session on Wednesday. The Canadian Dollar (CAD) weakens against the US Dollar (USD) as cooler Canadian inflation data raised expectations that the Bank of Canada (BoC) would cut interest rates in the coming months. Data released by Statistics Canada on Tuesday showed that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed 1.7% YoY in July, compared to 1.9% in June. This figure aligned with expectations. On a monthly basis, the CPI rose by 0.3%, an uptick from the 0.1% increase seen in the previous month. Meanwhile, the core CPI monitored by the Bank of Canada (BoC), which excludes volatile elements like food and energy, experienced a year-over-year increase of 2.6% and a monthly rise of 0.1%. The Loonie edges lower in an immediate reaction to the Canadian inflation report for July. Investors see a 39% odds of a rate cut from the BoC at the next policy decision in the September meeting, up from 31% before the CPI data, and have leaned heavily toward an easing of policy by October, according to Reuters.  Traders ramped up bets on a rate reduction at the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) September 16-17 meeting after a weak July jobs report and a cool CPI inflation report.

Franklin Templeton CEO, Who Manages $1.5 Trillion, Reveals His Best Cryptocurrency Investment! “Not Bitcoin (BTC)!”

Franklin Templeton CEO, Who Manages $1.5 Trillion, Reveals His Best Cryptocurrency Investment! “Not Bitcoin (BTC)!”

The post Franklin Templeton CEO, Who Manages $1.5 Trillion, Reveals His Best Cryptocurrency Investment! “Not Bitcoin (BTC)!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As interest in Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies continues to grow rapidly, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson made important statements about crypto investments. Speaking at the SALT conference in Jackson Hole, Franklin Templeton CEO said the best crypto investment won’t be in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but in the underlying infrastructure. The famous CEO stated that Bitcoin serves as a financial safe haven, but the real innovation is not in the crypto assets themselves, but in the underlying infrastructure that supports them. According to Johnson, blockchain technology brings many innovations, and the real transformation will occur in the infrastructure that powers these assets rather than the cryptocurrencies themselves. Describing Bitcoin as a “fear coin,” Johnson argued that BTC is one of the biggest distractions to the blockchain transformation. Johnson noted that he envisions mutual funds and ETFs will eventually operate on blockchains, but regulatory risk remains a significant hurdle. *This is not investment advice.

Bitcoin Corrects Below $113K As Retail Traders Panic Sell

Bitcoin Corrects Below $113K As Retail Traders Panic Sell

The post Bitcoin Corrects Below $113K As Retail Traders Panic Sell appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Retail crypto traders seemingly flipped bearish after Bitcoin failed to pick itself up from a recent dip below $113,000, clocking a 17-day low. “Retail traders have done a complete 180 after Bitcoin failed to rally and dipped below $113,000,” said analysts at blockchain analytics firm Santiment on Wednesday. Santiment also reported that the past 24 hours have marked “the most bearish sentiment seen on social media” since June 22, when fears of war in the Middle East caused a cascade of panic sells. Santiment said negative social sentiment is a good thing for dip buyers, especially when there is “blood in the streets and fear is maximized.” Short-term retail traders are also more inclined to panic sell or scalp profits than their diamond-handed counterparts, who view the asset class as a longer-term investment.  Santiment said that the panic selling was a “good sign of an upcoming dip bounce.”   Crowd sentiment has flipped to ‘ultra bearish.’ Source: Santiment  Bitcoin falls to support zone  Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $112,656 in late trading on Tuesday on Coinbase, according to TradingView, its lowest price since Aug. 3 when it fell toward support levels at around $112,000.  BTC has now retreated by 8.5% from its all-time high last week of just over $124,000, while the total crypto market capitalization has dropped below $4 trillion to a two-week low.    Related: Why is Bitcoin crashing and will $112K be the final bottom? The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has slipped into “Fear” with a rating of 44 out of 100, its lowest level since late June.  “Markets move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations,” said Santiment.  Will bull cycle history rhyme?  Market corrections during a bull cycle are nothing new and are a healthy part of the larger cycle.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins Says Few Cryptocurrencies Can Be Considered Securities! Here Are the Details

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins Says Few Cryptocurrencies Can Be Considered Securities! Here Are the Details

The post SEC Chairman Paul Atkins Says Few Cryptocurrencies Can Be Considered Securities! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins reiterated that he is taking a more moderate approach to cryptocurrency regulation compared to the previous administration. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: “Very Few Token Securities” Atkins noted that only a “very small number” of crypto assets could be considered securities. “The token itself is not a security, and probably not. In my opinion, very few tokens are securities. The key here is how the token is packaged and presented to investors,” Atkins said at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium on Tuesday. This announcement follows the SEC’s launch last month of its “Project Crypto” initiative, which Atkins described as aiming to “modernize securities laws” and move American financial markets on-chain. This project stands in sharp contrast to former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s approach, which defined the majority of crypto assets as securities. “A new era has begun for the crypto industry. We are committed to innovation, and we now want to embrace it,” Atkins said. In a post from his X account, he added, “We must create a framework that protects crypto markets from future regulatory abuse.” The project has also received positive feedback from industry analysts, with Bernstein describing the initiative as “the boldest and most transformative vision ever put forth by an SEC chairman,” while Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said Project Crypto could be the investment roadmap for the next five years. *This is not investment advice.

To remain sideways ahead of Powell’s Jackson Hole speech

To remain sideways ahead of Powell’s Jackson Hole speech

The post To remain sideways ahead of Powell’s Jackson Hole speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/JPY consolidates, failing to reclaim 20-day SMA after rebound from recent lows. Resistance at 148.00 and 148.51; break higher targets 200-day SMA near 149.15. Support lies at 147.50 and 147.00, with further downside toward 50-day SMA if selling resumes. USD/JPY consolidated during Tuesday’s session, ending the day with minimal losses of 0.14%, with the pair trading near familiar levels, below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 147.86. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 147.61, virtually unchanged as Wednesday’s Asian session begins. From a daily chart standpoint, the pair is set to remain sideways trading with market players waiting for a fresh catalyst, which would come on Friday, with Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole. Although there is pressure on the Fed by the Trump administration, the chances of Powell turning dovish are slim, following mixed inflation reports last week. USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook The USD/JPY trades below the 20-day SMA, after bouncing off multi-week lows of 146.21, set on August 14. It should be said that the pair has climbed three times straight, unable to conquer 148.00, seen as the first key resistance level. From a momentum standpoint, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hints that buyers remain in control, but the index is headed towards bearish territory. With that said, the USD/JPY first resistance would be the 20-day SMA and 148.00. If surpassed, the next stop would be August’s 12 peak at 148.51, before traders challenge the 200-day SMA at 149.15. On the flip side, if the pair slides below 147.50, the immediate support would be 147.00, followed by the 50-day SMA at 146.63.
