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.

When Can We Expect Altcoin Season? Deribit Analyst Shares Key Insights

When Can We Expect Altcoin Season? Deribit Analyst Shares Key Insights

The post When Can We Expect Altcoin Season? Deribit Analyst Shares Key Insights appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Rumors have been flying around about whether to expect an impending altcoin season. Ethereum’s performance has been exceptionally high. China recently announced an economic stimulus, and the US Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates in September.  Yet, according to an expert from the Coinbase-acquired crypto exchange Deribit, altcoin season remains on hold. The current panorama suggests cautious optimism rather than extreme euphoria. While Ethereum has surged, it hasn’t reached the required threshold to confirm such an event, and mid- and small-cap altcoins still lack sufficient trading volume. Are Macroeconomic Factors Finally Aligning? For many cryptocurrency traders, the allure of altcoin season is the crypto equivalent of a gold rush. This period represents a market shift from established titans like Bitcoin and Ethereum toward a broader constellation of smaller, more speculative assets. Such an event culminates in a trend of explosive gains.  Current macroeconomic factors and certain on-chain metrics have suggested the arrival of the long-expected altcoin season.  Altcoin Season starts in September 2025 The Golden Accumulation ends next week, and lowcaps will pump 100–150x. Those who buy alts now will be millionaires by the end of this cycle. Here’s what I’m buying ahead of the biggest Bull Run in history pic.twitter.com/OHIsjrwHm6 — Chiefy (@0xChiefy) August 22, 2025 In a speech today at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated a more dovish stance toward possibly lowering interest rates.  He hinted that “the shifting balance of risks” could warrant adjusting the Fed’s policy stance, hinting at potential expansionary policies for September. Earlier this week, reports emerged that China had announced a new stimulus package to bolster its struggling economy. While details are still emerging, the move was widely seen as a significant step toward policy easing by one of the world’s largest economies. Jean-David…

Cardano Price (ADA) News: Rising on Wednesday

Cardano Price (ADA) News: Rising on Wednesday

The post Cardano Price (ADA) News: Rising on Wednesday appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano’s ADA token climbed 2% to $0.87 in the past 24 hours, echoing a broader recovery across crypto markets. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), which tracks the largest digital assets, gained 2.8% over the same period. The move came as traders weighed two major developments: growing confidence in a September interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to extend its review of Grayscale’s proposed spot Cardano exchange-traded fund (ETF) until late October 2025. ADA traded in a tight but volatile $0.04 band, swinging between a low of $0.83 and a high of $0.88, according to data from CoinDesk Analytics. That spread of roughly 5% reflected heightened activity. At one point, the token broke sharply higher, surging from $0.84 to $0.88 on trading volumes that more than doubled the 24-hour average of 39.3 million. After the breakout, ADA settled into consolidation. Traders pegged resistance at $0.88, with new support forming around $0.85. Late-session action saw the price stabilize at $0.86, a level analysts say may point to institutional accumulation ahead of another potential rally. The broader market backdrop has been choppy. Crypto assets fell sharply Monday as traders locked in profits from a weekend surge sparked by Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish remarks in Jackson Hole. Those comments fueled expectations of rate cuts, which typically support risk assets like cryptocurrencies by making traditional yields less attractive. By Tuesday, investors appeared to treat the pullback as a buying opportunity, helping altcoins rebound. Lower interest rates often act as a tailwind for the crypto sector, where investors hunt for higher returns compared with government debt. Historically, such conditions have set the stage for “altcoin season,” periods where smaller tokens outperform bitcoin BTC$111,885.54 during consolidation phases. Meanwhile, the SEC’s delay of Grayscale’s Cardano ETF was…

Analysis Firm CEO Announces: “Be Careful with This Altcoin, It Could Be Preparing for a Big Move!”

Analysis Firm CEO Announces: “Be Careful with This Altcoin, It Could Be Preparing for a Big Move!”

The post Analysis Firm CEO Announces: “Be Careful with This Altcoin, It Could Be Preparing for a Big Move!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Litecoin (LTC), one of the most notable altcoins among ETF applications, also ranks first as one of the altcoins with the highest chance of approval. Litecoin, generally known for its quiet rises, may be preparing for a major move. Joao Wedson, CEO of cryptocurrency analysis firm Alphractal, said Litecoin is poised to shine. Stating that on-chain fundamental data shows that Litecoin’s blockchain maturity is increasing, Wedson said that LTC is moving towards more mature, stable and strong long-term sustainability. The analyst also analyzed key levels for LTC, with $88 acting as strong support for LTC. The analyst also added that a break above $123 would trigger a rally in Litecoin towards the $183 alpha price, as historically, LTC has always surged when targeting the alpha price. Stating that Litecoin has gone through a long period of accumulation, Wedson reminded that these periods are characteristically designed to deter even the most resistant investors, drawing attention to LTC’s potential and the importance of not giving up. “Historical data shows that LTC appears and surges when least expected,” the analyst said. Wedson recently stated that he personally invested in Litecoin, saying that he bought the dip in April and now expects LTC to reach the alpha price of $183. 🚀 Litecoin is about to shine!

XAU/USD slips to near $3,380 on resilient US Dollar

XAU/USD slips to near $3,380 on resilient US Dollar

The post XAU/USD slips to near $3,380 on resilient US Dollar appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold price declines as the US Dollar holds gains during the European hours. The safe-haven metal may attract buyers amid rising Fed concerns. Non-interest-bearing assets may draw demand as Fed Governor Cook’s departure boosts rate-cut expectations. Gold price (XAU/USD) depreciates after registering more than three-quarters of losses in the previous session, trading around $3,380 per troy ounce during the European hours on Wednesday. The price of the dollar-denominated Gold struggles as the US Dollar (USD) shows resilience despite rising concerns over the United States (US) Federal Reserve (Fed) independence. However, the Gold price may regain its ground due to increased safe-haven demand. Traders assess the latest headlines surrounding the escalating feud between US President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve. Fed Governor Lisa Cook will reportedly file a lawsuit challenging her removal by US President Donald Trump. While speaking at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump noted that he is prepared to abide by any court decision but indicated he was not concerned about Cook’s challenge. Non-interest-bearing assets, including Gold, may attract buyers as the dismissal of Fed Governor Cook could increase the likelihood of heavy interest rate cuts, given Trump’s ongoing pressure on the central bank to reduce borrowing costs. It is worth noting that lower interest rates could prompt investors to pick precious metals to gain better returns. Traders are now pricing in more than 87% odds for a cut of at least a quarter-point at the Fed’s September meeting, up from 84% previous day, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Focus will shift toward the upcoming release of the Q2 US Gross Domestic Product Annualized and July Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index data, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, due later this week.

BAY Miner Turns BTC, ETH, and XRP into Cash-Flowing Assets

BAY Miner Turns BTC, ETH, and XRP into Cash-Flowing Assets

The post BAY Miner Turns BTC, ETH, and XRP into Cash-Flowing Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. [London] August 2025—BAY Miner, a global crypto-finance innovation platform, today announced the official launch of a new asset management solution: the Idle Coins Activation Program. Designed specifically for holders of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP), this innovative tool helps convert long-term idle digital assets into sustainable cash flow, improving portfolio utilization. Industry insiders believe this initiative will not only accelerate the financialization of cryptocurrencies but also create new profit models for investors. As global demand for digital asset allocation continues to grow, traditional “buy and hold” (HODL) strategies are increasingly facing challenges with insufficient liquidity. BAY Miner leverages big data analysis and a low-risk, return-based strategy to ensure that idle BTC, ETH, and XRP no longer remain dormant in user wallets, but instead generate a steady stream of returns. This model not only ensures asset security but also provides holders with stable and diversified cash flow channels, and is considered a crucial tool for managing market fluctuations and optimizing long-term asset allocation. The Concept of Idle Coins Idle coins are cryptocurrencies that have been storing value for the long-term without being traded, staked, or lent. There are millions in BTC, ETH, and XRP just sitting and waiting. Remember that cryptocurrency prices do fluctuate and waiting usually leads to missed opportunities. BAY Miner makes this possible. Holders can convert these passive, idle coins into active, recurring revenue sources, in a secure and fully managed method through cloud mining. Why BAY Miner Is Different Instead of the high costs of equipment and electricity and cooling like conventional mining, BAY Miner takes the “hardware-free, mobile-first” approach where anyone can earn from crypto anywhere. The platform is built to be accessible, secure, and transparent, providing users with a true alternative in maximizing their digital assets. Key features include:…

US Dollar weakness pressures USD/JPY as Fed jitters grow

US Dollar weakness pressures USD/JPY as Fed jitters grow

The post US Dollar weakness pressures USD/JPY as Fed jitters grow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Following Monday’s decent gains, USD/JPY faces renewed downside pressure on Tuesday’s turnaround, coming all the way down to retest the 147.00 region, where some decent contention seems to have turned up. USD/JPY focused on Fed, data The daily pullback, in the meantime, comes in response to fresh selling bias around the US Dollar, which was particularly reignited after President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire FOMC Governor Lisa Cook. That move appears to have woken up fears over the Fed’s independence, keeping the Greenback’s price action depressed amid mixed US yields across different time frames. Data-wise, on the US calendar, Durable Goods Orders contracted at a monthly 2.8% in July, while the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence eased to 97.4 in August. Additional data was centred on the housing sector, with the FHFA’s House Price Index dropping by 0.2% in June from a month earlier, and the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price index coming in flat on a monthly basis also in June. On the tech front If USD/JPY breaks above the weekly high at 148.77 (August 22), it would bring the 200-day SMA at 149.00 back into focus, followed by the August peak at 150.91 (August 1). A sustained move higher could then target the March top at 151.30 (March 3) and the weekly high at 154.79 (February 13). On the downside, initial support lies at the August low of 146.21 (August 14), followed by the weekly trough at 145.85 (July 24). Further weakness would put the 100-day SMA at 145.46 into play, ahead of the July base at 142.67 (July 1) and the May low at 142.10 (May 27).

S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report

S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report

The post S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The S&P 500 surged 0.2% on Wednesday as Wall Street waited for Nvidia Corporation’s earnings report, a key moment for this year’s stock rally. The chipmaker, now the largest stock in the index with roughly 8% weight, barely moved during the session, but traders held their positions tight. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 135 points, or 0.3%. The trading day was calm on the surface, but the pressure underneath was real. Investors didn’t want to change positions until they saw whether Nvidia’s numbers would support the recent gains in tech stocks or trigger a pullback. The earnings are seen as critical because Nvidia has become the face of the AI wave that’s driven much of the S&P 500’s gains this year. With a single stock now carrying that much weight, traders were waiting to react. The report is due after the market closes. Any surprise in those numbers will not just move Nvidia. It will hit the entire index. The trading session also reflected global uncertainty. Traders showed interest in euro options that profit if the currency gains. That demand, seen Tuesday, came even as speculation built around a possible confidence vote that could force the French government to collapse. French assets stayed under pressure, but the euro held up. This disconnect isn’t new. A similar situation played out last year, French stocks dropped, yields widened, but the euro barely moved. Euro weakens as dollar gains after Fed drama returns On Wednesday, the euro fell to a three-week low. Traders in Europe said month-end flows pushed up the U.S. dollar, which led to the euro’s decline. On Tuesday, the euro had gained 0.2% against the greenback, after news broke about political interference in the Federal Reserve. That news pushed the dollar lower temporarily.…
