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.

Hectic data docket culminates in critical US NFP reading

The post Hectic data docket culminates in critical US NFP reading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Holiday-dampened start to the week gives way to hefty data docket. This week will wrap up with a bumper print of US NFP jobs data. Risk appetite is riding high as markets bet on a September Fed rate cut. September opens up on a quiet note, with US markets shuttered on Monday for a long weekend. The Labor Day holiday has market flows crimped by the US long weekend, but a wide swath of high-impact events will keep this week on the entertaining side before the latest round of US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) crash into markets.

Jack Ma-Linked Yunfeng Buys 10,000 ETH for $44M – Is This Hong Kong’s Big Ethereum Bet?

Jack Ma-Linked Yunfeng Buys 10,000 ETH for $44M – Is This Hong Kong’s Big Ethereum Bet?

Yunfeng Financial Group, a Hong Kong-listed financial services firm with close ties to Alibaba founder Jack Ma, has purchased 10,000 ETH worth about $44 million, marking one of the largest Ethereum acquisitions by a publicly traded company in Asia this year. The purchase, disclosed in a voluntary filing on Tuesday, was funded entirely from Yunfeng’s internal cash reserves. The company said the move reflects its strategic expansion into Web3, real-world assets (RWAs), digital currencies, and artificial intelligence. ETH will be booked as an investment on Yunfeng’s balance sheet and will serve as part of its reserve assets. Corporate Ethereum Reserves Climb to $19B as Yunfeng Enters the Market The filing emphasized that the acquisition is aligned with Yunfeng’s long-term strategy. The company said Ethereum’s inclusion in its treasury would support tokenization activities for RWAs, provide infrastructure for Web3 innovation, and enhance its ability to integrate financial services with emerging technology. The group also hinted at exploring potential applications for ETH in its insurance business and broader fintech offerings. Yunfeng stressed that it would continue to monitor market developments and regulatory changes before expanding its holdings further. The board cautioned that cryptocurrency remains highly volatile and warned shareholders to exercise care when trading its stock. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the local securities regulator also distanced themselves from the contents of the filing, noting that they take “no responsibility” for its accuracy or completeness. The acquisition places Yunfeng alongside a growing group of corporate and institutional entities treating ETH as a strategic reserve. According to Strategic ETH Reserve (SER) data, structured entities now hold 4.44 million ETH valued at around $19 billion, representing 3.67% of Ethereum’s total supply. The largest single holder is Bitmine Immersion Tech, which controls 1.8 million ETH worth roughly $7.7 billion, accounting for more than 40% of all SER reserves. Other major entities include SharpLink Gaming with 797,700 ETH ($3.4 billion), The Ether Machine with 345,400 ETH ($1.5 billion), and the Ethereum Foundation with 231,600 ETH ($1 billion). Coinbase also maintains 136,800 ETH ($588 million), largely tied to customer balances and staking operations. Analysts warn that sustained redemptions could temporarily weigh on prices, even as long-term accumulation by corporations like Yunfeng suggests growing confidence in Ethereum as an institutional-grade asset. The concentration of reserves also remains a key market factor. Bitmine and SharpLink together account for over 58% of all ETH held by SER entities, raising questions about liquidity risks if these major players adjust their positions. Still, the growing role of regulated companies, ETFs, and corporate treasuries shows Ethereum’s accelerating adoption among institutional investors. Yunfeng’s $44 million move may be small compared with the billions held by global giants, but it carries symbolic weight in Hong Kong, a market positioning itself as a digital asset hub. Japan’s Corporate Crypto Adoption Surges With Multi-Billion-Dollar Treasury Plans While Hong Kong-linked funds are making headlines with Ethereum bets, Japan is quietly building one of the world’s most aggressive corporate crypto adoption waves. A string of Tokyo-listed companies has begun reshaping their balance sheets around Bitcoin and altcoins, showing that Asia’s crypto race is no longer just about retail traders. On August 31, Tokyo-based gaming firm Gumi announced plans to purchase ¥2.5 billion ($17 million) worth of XRP before February 2026. The move, approved by its board, reflects Gumi’s ties to SBI Holdings, Ripple’s closest Japanese partner and largest shareholder. Gumi has also been actively buying Bitcoin, including a $6.5 million acquisition earlier this year, and has even launched a BTC lottery for new shareholders. Executives described the XRP purchase not as speculation but as a “strategic initiative” to expand into financial services. Japan’s corporate push doesn’t end there. Beauty chain Convano has unveiled one of the boldest treasury plans yet, seeking to raise ¥434 billion ($3 billion) to buy 21,000 BTC, equal to 0.1% of Bitcoin’s supply. Its three-phase program targets 2,000 BTC by the end of 2025. Other listed firms are also scaling up their exposure. On August 25, five Japanese companies disclosed new allocations totaling 156.79 BTC. The standout was Metaplanet, which added 103 BTC for $11.7 million, raising its reserves to 18,991 BTC, worth nearly $2 billion. The company, now among the world’s top seven corporate Bitcoin holders, recently secured a place in the FTSE Japan Index, boosting investor confidence despite stock volatility. Meanwhile, Remixpoint Inc. bought 41.5 BTC for $4.6 million, and ANAP Holdings grew its holdings to 1,017 BTC. Smaller players like Agile Media Network and Def Consulting are also joining the trend, while Lib Work, a 3D housing firm, has committed $3.3 million to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a foundation for global expansion. These moves align with Tokyo’s policy stance. Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato, speaking at WebX2025, called crypto “a part of diversified investments” and pledged to build an environment that supports adoption without stifling innovation. Japan is also preparing to roll out its first yen-denominated stablecoin this autumn, led by fintech firm JPYC. The token will target international remittances and corporate settlements, potentially tying together the nation’s growing corporate crypto strategies

Bitcoin Price Surges Above $111,000 As Strategy Buys $449 Million Worth Of BTC

Bitcoin Price Surges Above $111,000 As Strategy Buys $449 Million Worth Of BTC

The post Bitcoin Price Surges Above $111,000 As Strategy Buys $449 Million Worth Of BTC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy has acquired an additional 4,048 Bitcoin worth approximately $449.3 million at an average Bitcoin price of $110,981 per BTC, according to a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 2, 2025. The company’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 636,505 BTC, purchased at an aggregate price of $46.95 billion. The latest purchase was funded through multiple at-the-market (ATM) offering programs, including proceeds from the company’s STRF, STRK, STRD, and MSTR ATMs. During the period from August 26 to September 1, Strategy raised $471.8 million through these offerings, demonstrating continued investor appetite for Bitcoin-linked securities. The company’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy comes amid a broader trend of corporate treasury adoption. Many major companies have announced significant Bitcoin purchases in the past month alone, including Ming Shing Group’s deal to acquire $483 million of Bitcoin and KindlyMD buying $679 million worth of Bitcoin. Strategy’s financial innovation has created new Bitcoin-linked instruments attractive to institutional investors. The company currently maintains several ATM programs, including a $2.1 billion STRF ATM offering 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock, a $4.2 billion STRC ATM offering Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, a $21 billion STRK ATM offering 8.00% Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock, a $4.2 billion STRD ATM offering 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock, and a $21 billion MSTR ATM offering Class A common stock. Each successful placement underscores the appetite for bitcoin-tied fixed income and cements the company’s reputation as a credible issuer experimenting at the intersection of Bitcoin and traditional markets. The company recently updated its guidance to allow tactical equity issuance even when its premium to Bitcoin net asset value falls below the previous 2.5x threshold. This change provides Strategy with greater flexibility to continue its Bitcoin accumulation strategy during market weakness. Strategy may soon…

UK yields surge 5.69%, FTSE (UK100) and DAX (DE30) on watch

UK yields surge 5.69%, FTSE (UK100) and DAX (DE30) on watch

The post UK yields surge 5.69%, FTSE (UK100) and DAX (DE30) on watch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. UK 30-year gilts (UK government bonds) ripped to 5.69% yesterday, the highest borrowing cost in 27 years. Germany’s bonds also weren’t spared, with 30-year yields hitting a 14-year high. So is this good for UK and German stocks? Not really. Higher yields mean tighter financial conditions and higher discount rates, which tend to cap equity rallies and put pressure on stretched valuations. FTSE (UK100) reacts negatively, but is at support The FTSE is trading right at a critical support cluster. Around £8,770–£8,820, price is sitting on the anchored VWAP and Point of Control (POC), where most trading volume has built up. This is the line in the sand. Upside cap: £8,941 (Value Area High), near the prior ATH of £8,909.8 — this zone is tough resistance. Support to hold: £7,866 is the macro pivot. Lose it, and sellers may drive the index toward the 100-week EMA Bollinger Bands® (stdev 1) at £8,345, a level that also lines up with a High-Volume Node. The 100 EMA BB has been reliable, catching major cycle lows in the past. As long as the FTSE stays above its lower band, the long-term uptrend remains intact. DAX (DE30) nears support, hints distribution The DAX is still pinned under €24,500, with the POC since April lodged at the highs. That suggests distribution rather than clean accumulation, raising the risk of a long squeeze. Bull trigger: Weekly close above €24,500 with rising volume/value migration, unlocking the ATH zone (€24,300–€24,650). First defence: Ascending trendline support, but vulnerable under the current top-heavy profile. Key pivot: €23,180 — the prior macro ATH and Value Area Low. Below it, downside layers open at €22,290 → €21,565 → €20,840, with €20,285 as the macro uptrend breaker. The 50-week EMA Bollinger Band (stdev 1) still maps the bigger picture. Historical lows have formed…

Pound Sterling braces for US jobs data-led volatility

Pound Sterling braces for US jobs data-led volatility

The post Pound Sterling braces for US jobs data-led volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pound Sterling(GBP) regained ground against the US Dollar (USD), albeit within the August 22 trading range. The GBP/USD pair gradually crawled back above the 1.3500 barrier on the renewed upside.  Pound Sterling oscillated in a range  GBP/USD entered a consolidative mode following a late rebound last week. The bull-bear tug-of-war extended, but bargain-buying remained in vogue, courtesy of a broad-based US Dollar decline.  The USD booked a monthly drop, after having a double-whammy from the increased dovish expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve (Fed) on one hand. On the other hand, concerns over the Fed’s independence sapped investors’ confidence in the US currency.  Dovish Fed commentaries during the week doubled down on Chairman Jerome Powell-led affirmation of an interest rate cut next month. New York Fed President John Williams noted on Wednesday that “it is likely interest rates can fall at some point but policymakers will need to see what upcoming data indicate about the economy to decide if it’s appropriate to make a cut next month,” per Reuters.  Late Thursday, Fed Governor Christopher Waller said that he would support a rate cut in the September meeting and further reductions over the next three to six months to prevent the labor market from collapsing.  Markets maintained their expectations for a September rate cut in the range of 85% to 90%, according to the CME Group’s Fed Watch Tool.  Moving on, the drama between US President Donald Trump and the Fed intensified ever since Trump announced earlier in the week that he plans to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook over her false statements on mortgage applications.  However, Cook stood her ground and said that Trump had no authority to remove her. Cook filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Trump’s effort to fire her.  Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance’s comments in…

Analyst Reveals Ethereum (ETH) Expectations for September and October! “The Biggest Bear Trap Could Be Coming!”

Analyst Reveals Ethereum (ETH) Expectations for September and October! “The Biggest Bear Trap Could Be Coming!”

The post Analyst Reveals Ethereum (ETH) Expectations for September and October! “The Biggest Bear Trap Could Be Coming!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While Bitcoin (BTC) was running from record to record, Ethereum (ETH), which fell behind BTC, broke its 2021 ATH and set a new record a week ago. While Ethereum surpassed $4,900, the subsequent bearish wave caused the price to drop to $4,200 levels. At this point, while the market is predicting that Ethereum could experience a correction to the $3,000 level, one analyst said that this could be a huge bear trap. Cryptocurrency analyst Johnny Woo, in his analysis from his X account, said that ETH could form a sharp correction, or a bear trap, in September before recovering in October. Ethereum could surprise many bears next month, according to the analyst, where it could drop to the $3,350 support level in September, creating a bear trap, before rebounding in October. Pointing out that a head-and-shoulders chart formation has formed on the Ethereum chart, Woo stated that this formation may initially strengthen the downward trend, but ETH will experience a recovery triggered by the “October” trend, which is historically known as the upward period. Finally, Woo noted that similar formations have occurred frequently in the past, and that a bearish forecast for September and an upward forecast for October is a reasonable scenario. *This is not investment advice.

Is SKY’s 10% surge a bull trap in disguise? Marking major levels

Is SKY’s 10% surge a bull trap in disguise? Marking major levels

The post Is SKY’s 10% surge a bull trap in disguise? Marking major levels appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways SKY’s rally in the past day comes as Open Interest hits a new all-time high. Spot and technical indicators point to a potential decline ahead as liquidity weakens. In the past day, Sky [SKY] led market gains, recording a 10% surge within the period. Analysis shows that the drive behind SKY likely came from the derivatives market. However, opposing liquidity pressures could force the asset’s price lower. SKY hits record high The rally in the past day coincided with the token reaching a record high in the derivatives segment. In the past 24 hours, the governance token saw Open Interest rise to $2.33 million, a 27% growth from the previous day. This heightened flow of liquidity was accompanied by a surge in derivatives trading volume. At press time, CoinGlass data showed the long-to-short ratio rising significantly, with a reading of 1.14. Typically, a reading above 1 for the Taker Buy-Sell Ratio implies that buying volume outweighed selling volume in the market during this period. AMBCrypto, however, found that while the derivatives market appears to be tightening, liquidity in other fronts is being withdrawn. Liquidity steps back from the market Market analysis shows a shift in liquidity away from SKY over the past day. For instance, spot market data revealed five consecutive days of outflows, totaling $1.67 million in sales. That’s not all. In fact, technical indicators are flashing warning signs of a potential drop in the coming days. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), for example, has crossed into the overbought region with a reading above 70. The Money Flow Index (MFI), on the other hand, shows it is extending toward the overbought region above 80 but has not reached it yet. The setup suggests that while the RSI has flagged a potential drop in price, the MFI crossing…
