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.

Staying alert to US labour market weakness – DBS

Staying alert to US labour market weakness – DBS

The post Staying alert to US labour market weakness – DBS appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The DXY Index depreciated by 0.3% to 98.1. Mirroring the nonfarm payrolls, US JOLTS job openings fell to 7181k in July, lower than the 7380k consensus. June was revised lower to 7357k from 7437k,, DBS’ Senior FX Strategist Philip Wee report. US labour market and Fed watch “The labour market’s softness was also reflected in the Fed’s Beige Book, which reported little or no change in economic activity across most of the 12 Fed districts. Business contacts reported raising prices to partially offset the impactful tariff-related price increases in inputs. Many households felt the pinch of wages not keeping up with rising prices, implying weaker consumer spending and lower growth expectations. Hiring slowed with businesses hesitant to refill vacancies or bring new staff, with some turning to automation and AI instead.” “Overall, the Beige Book suggested that the anticipated 25 bps cut at the September 17 FOMC meeting could be the start of a sustained easing cycle. To cement this expectation, Friday’s August US monthly jobs report will need nonfarm payrolls to remain below 100k and the unemployment rate to rise above 4.2% for the first time since October 2021. Today, consensus expects ADP Employment to decline to 68k in August from 104k in July. Initial jobless claims could trend higher if its 4-week moving average increases a fourth week in the final week of August. The ISM Services PMI Survey will be monitored to see on whether it will mirror its manufacturing counterpart in reporting weaker prices paid and employment sub-indices.” “Today, the Senate Banking Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for Stephen Miran to replace Adriana Kugler as Fed Governor. There is a strong likelihood for Miran to be confirmed in time for the September FOMC meeting. US Treasury Scott Bessent is set to begin interviewing candidates for…

Why This Crypto Bull Run is Different

Why This Crypto Bull Run is Different

The post Why This Crypto Bull Run is Different appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin now tracks global liquidity more than halving events, making each market phase naturally stretch out. Unlike past cycles, Ethereum and the broader altcoin index have not yet broken past previous highs. Despite a breakout, BTC struggles at $114K while holding $107.2K support. Top analysts are making a high-conviction call that the current crypto bull market could extend for another one to two years, defying all previous cycle timelines.  According to the “Long Ultra Cycle” theory, a fundamental shift in market drivers, from four-year halving cycles to global liquidity, is creating a longer, more sustained bull run, even as Bitcoin struggles with short-term resistance. Why Four-Year Crypto Cycles Are Getting Longer Global Liquidity Now Drives Crypto Bitcoin and other risk assets move in sync with global liquidity and central bank policy. Data shows Bitcoin tracks global liquidity 83% of the time in a 12-month window, more than most asset classes. Since liquidity cycles run longer than Bitcoin’s halving cycle, they naturally stretch the market timeline. Altcoin Breakouts Are Delayed In the previous cycle, the altcoin index (“others” chart) broke above its all-time high 355 days before the cycle ended. Ethereum (ETH) also broke out, and the market ran for another 335 days before topping.  But in this cycle, despite already being 1,035 days in (compared to just 1,065 days in the entire last cycle), neither the altcoin index nor ETH has crossed their old highs. This lag strongly shows the current cycle still has a long way to go. Longer Halving-to-Top Timelines Historical data shows each cycle is naturally lengthening. From the first Bitcoin halving to the top took 367 days, the second took 526 days, and the third stretched to 548 days. The market is already past 511 days in the current post-halving phase, yet charts show no signs…

Can Bitcoin Replace the US Dollar?

Can Bitcoin Replace the US Dollar?

The post Can Bitcoin Replace the US Dollar? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar Index (DXY) recorded a modest recovery, standing at 98.2 at press time. Following recent losses, the index was up 0.09% over the previous day.  Despite this uptick, an X user who claims to be a former Goldman Sachs analyst has issued a stark warning about the dollar’s future. He stated that the world may be approaching an era in which the dollar loses its long-held status as the global reserve currency. Sponsored Sponsored Dollar Reserve Status in Danger: What Comes Next? Wolf Financial explained that a currency can only hold reserve status if it is backed by strong military power. The US currently fulfils this role. Why? because of its nuclear arsenal, submarines, stealth aircraft, and hundreds of military bases around the world.  The US Navy also secures global trade routes, which gives other countries confidence in using the dollar for international settlements. This arrangement has allowed the US to maintain reserve currency status and freely print money. Sponsored Sponsored “But there’s just one problem…the dollar is clearly failing. So what country’s currency can replace the dollar? None,” the post read. The analyst argued that no single fiat currency, whether the Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, or Russian Ruble, possesses the liquidity, trust, or economic backing to replace the USD. As a result, the world may face decades of instability rather than a smooth transition to a new single reserve currency. In such a scenario, global trade could fragment into regional systems. Therefore, countries could likely be trading more with neighbors and empires rather than globally. The US might rely heavily on Canada and Mexico for trade and could even return to a gold standard since it owns the largest gold reserves.  Meanwhile, other nations may experiment with different systems. Some may adopt gold-backed currencies, others may use Bitcoin…

Ray Dalio Says Bitcoin Is a Good Hedge Against Trump Tariffs: $HYPER Soars

Ray Dalio Says Bitcoin Is a Good Hedge Against Trump Tariffs: $HYPER Soars

The post Ray Dalio Says Bitcoin Is a Good Hedge Against Trump Tariffs: $HYPER Soars appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Billionaire and founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, fired shots against the US economy, stating that the country is nearing the late stages of the debt cycle, which threatens the dollar’s supremacy. Dalio believes that this will fuel limited-supply assets like Bitcoin and gold. His statements were a response to Financial Times misrepresenting his views during an interview. Dalio retaliated by making the entire interview public, where he mentioned: Crypto is now an alternative currency that has its supply limited, so, all things being equal, if the supply of dollar money rises and/or the demand for it falls, that would likely make crypto an attractive alternative currency. —Ray Dalio, X post As Dalio sees it, Bitcoin and cryptos in general are gaining ground over fiat currencies, including the US dollar. This creates a conducive climate for utility-based projects like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which is already running a $13.7M presale. Courts May Deem Trump’s Tariffs Illegal; Trump Seeks to Appeal Trump’s tariffs are under scrutiny after a federal court stated that Donald Trump misused his authority when instituting the tariffs and that only the Congress would have that power. Trump’s administration is getting ready to appeal the court, but, until then, the tariffs remain in effect, as the president himself said on his Truth Social platform. This is an ongoing problem for Trump’s tariff plan, after the Federal Court initially blocked it in May, with the judge saying that the tariffs lacked ‘any identifiable limits.’ This, combined with the confusion caused by the several delays and modifications to the tariff plan, plunged the stock and crypto markets into chaos. As a result, the US dollar’s aura weakened, which caused investors to look for more stable and promising assets. Paradoxically, they started migrating to Bitcoin and other cryptos, which explains why Bitcoin’s…

Ukraine Approves First Draft of Bill to Legalize and Tax Bitcoin

Ukraine Approves First Draft of Bill to Legalize and Tax Bitcoin

Ukraine’s parliament has approved the first draft of a bill that seeks to legalize crypto and introduce a new tax regime on profits from crypto transactions. According to MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak, who shared the update on his Telegram channel, the measure secured 246 votes in favor, signaling strong political support. The proposal is part of Ukraine’s broader effort to modernize financial regulation and align with international standards. Officials believe clear taxation rules could boost state revenues while encouraging legitimate use of digital currencies. Tax Rates and Incentives The draft law outlines a dual tax structure. Profits from cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, would be subject to an 18% income tax and a 5% military tax. This brings the total to 23%. This figure is consistent with earlier recommendations from Ukraine’s financial regulator. To encourage early compliance, the bill proposes a preferential 5% tax on converting crypto into fiat currency during the first year of implementation. Lawmakers hope this incentive will smooth the transition and attract more users into the formal system. Regulatory Authority Still Undecided While the bill lays out clear tax obligations, it leaves open the question of oversight. Lawmakers have not yet determined whether the National Bank of Ukraine or the National Securities and Stock Market Commission will supervise the sector. MP Zhelezniak has said that amendments are expected before the bill’s second reading. He also emphasized that the current draft is a starting point only and may undergo significant revisions. Ukraine’s Strong Position in Global Adoption Ukraine is already recognized as one of the world’s most active crypto markets. In the 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index by Chainalysis, the country ranks eighth overall. It performs especially well in categories such as centralized trading volumes and DeFi participation, highlighting its broad appeal. Digital assets have played a crucial role in Ukraine’s economy, particularly since its war with Russia in 2022. They have facilitated fundraising, cross-border payments, and financial support to communities. Observers note that this unique context has accelerated crypto adoption compared to many other countries. Global Shift Toward Crypto Taxation Ukraine’s initiative comes as more governments worldwide are formulating policies for digital assets. In Denmark, the Tax Law Council proposed in October 2024 to tax unrealized crypto gains, though the measure is still under review. Brazil followed a different path in June 2025 by ending its previous exemptions and introducing a 17.5% flat tax on crypto profits.  In the United States, representatives in the lower legislative chamber were scheduled to hold a hearing in July 2025 on a framework for taxing crypto assets.
