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.

Solv and Chainlink integrate Proof of Reserve into SolvBTC

Solv and Chainlink integrate Proof of Reserve into SolvBTC

The post Solv and Chainlink integrate Proof of Reserve into SolvBTC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solv Protocol and Chainlink have launched a new feed that combines the market price with the on-chain verification of BTC reserves for SolvBTC, with a redemption rate anchored to the collateral and price limits designed to reduce manipulations. According to data collected by Chainlink Data, the SolvBTC feeds show public timestamps and updates accessible from the mainnet since the announcement. Industry analysts note that the PoR+price model can directly impact over 2 billion dollars in tokenized BTC, reducing the likelihood of depeg during market stress. By monitoring the official pages (Solv and Chainlink Data), it is possible to verify the operational status of the feeds on Ethereum and BOB in real-time. Solv Protocol shows data on its Bitcoin reserves collateralizing SolvBTC. Source: Solv Transparency SolvBTC: what has been launched and where it is active The new SolvBTC‑BTC feed combines the traditional exchange rate with the verification of reserves Bitcoin recorded on-chain. Unlike common price oracles, the value is anchored to the underlying collateral, enhancing transparency and consistency at the time of redemption. An interesting aspect is the immediate availability of data for public consultation. Ethereum mainnet: the Proof of Reserve (PoR) feed of SolvBTC is accessible with verifiable data and time-stamps. BOB network: the SolvBTC/BTC feed is operational for on‑chain pricing. Cross‑chain expansion: further integrations are in preparation, aiming to standardize the PoR + price model across multiple networks. Why it impacts the price of SolvBTC The feed directly integrates reserve coverage into the price calculation. This way, the redemption rate reflects not only the market spot price but also the actual availability of the BTC held, reducing possible misalignments between theoretical value and the value actually redeemable. It should be noted that the effect is particularly significant during times of volatility. How the Protection Mechanism Works The logic of…

Ordinals tied-BRC20 protocol completes upgrade to “BRC2.0”, integrates EVM compatibility

Ordinals tied-BRC20 protocol completes upgrade to “BRC2.0”, integrates EVM compatibility

The post Ordinals tied-BRC20 protocol completes upgrade to “BRC2.0”, integrates EVM compatibility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BRC20, the first token standard built directly on Bitcoin’s base layer and indexers, has officially upgraded to “BRC2.0” at Bitcoin block height 912690. The upgrade has opened the door to decentralized apps and DeFi on Bitcoin. The BRC2.0 upgrade was developed by Best In Slot, a major infrastructure player in the Ordinals ecosystem, together with BRC20’s pseudonymous creator Domo and the Layer 1 Foundation, the governance body overseeing the protocol. Technically, the upgrade adds Ethereum Virtual Machine(EVM) functionality directly into the BRC-20 core indexer. It brings Ethereum-like composability and programmability while leveraging its security.  Developers can use Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin Now developers will be able to use Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin, while still being able to use Ethereum tools. There are no bridges, no wrapped assets, just the capacity to combine things already there. Eril Binari Ezerel, CEO of Best In Slot, said, “Bitcoin meta-protocols like Ordinals, Runes, and BRC20 run on indexers, which function like simple calculators […] We upgraded this ‘calculator-style’ indexer with EVM—making BRC20 Turing complete.”  On the other hand, Domo, the creator of BRC20, said, “The holy grail is combining the two gold standards: Bitcoin as the most decentralized and secure network, and the EVM as the most proven virtual machine […] The aim is to give users the Ethereum experience of composability and programmability, but secured by Bitcoin.” Meanwhile, the new smart contract functionality expands what’s possible for Bitcoin-native assets. The programmability and DeFi are expected to spark renewed interest, with profits likely rotating into inscriptions, potentially driving another bull run for Bitcoin assets.  The number of programmable Bitcoin layers spikes Over $3 billion worth of assets have been exchanged on BRC-20 since it started in early 2023. The goal has been reached without getting any institutional assistance or venture financing. Although…

XRP Price Action Turns Bearish, Analyst Says Crash Below $1 Is Coming

XRP Price Action Turns Bearish, Analyst Says Crash Below $1 Is Coming

The post XRP Price Action Turns Bearish, Analyst Says Crash Below $1 Is Coming appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP has struggled to maintain momentum over the past seven days and has had repeated failures to reclaim higher ground above $2.8. The weekly performance shows a decline of over 4%, and intraday movement in the past 24 hours has shown swings between $2.71 and $2.85.  This price movement is part of a selling pressure that has been building up since XRP lost its grip above $3 on August 28. Interestingly, a technical outlook suggests that this selling pressure might eventually cause XRP’s price action to crash down to $1. Technical Analysis Points To Breakdown Although XRP is currently showing signs of exhaustion just below $3 after its rally in July and the first half of August, many analysts would argue that the rally is still on track to resume anytime soon. However, a technical analysis on the TradingView platform has outlined a distinctly extended bearish scenario for XRP based on its price movements on the three-day candlestick timeframe. According to the chart, the crypto’s structure has shifted in favor of sellers after a rejection at $3. Short-lived rallies have failed to produce any significant higher highs on the 3-day candlestick, which has left the trend vulnerable to breakdowns to lower price zones. At the time of the analysis, XRP appeared to have already begun a significant decline from $2.8 and reached into the $2.7 zone. As shown on the price chart above, as long as XRP’s price action is capped below $3, the selling pressure is likely to keep dominating. The projection shows extended downside moves that could send XRP closer to the $1 mark, with the imbalance from the late 2024 rally leaving few technical supports in between.  The charts highlight a broader bearish wave that could unfold across 2025 if current support levels fail. In such a…

Japan’s Leading Bitcoin Treasury Company Metaplanet Reaches Critical Level with Its Latest BTC Purchase! Here Are the Details

The post Japan’s Leading Bitcoin Treasury Company Metaplanet Reaches Critical Level with Its Latest BTC Purchase! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury company, Metaplanet, has increased its total assets to 20,000 BTC with its latest purchase. Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Holdings Reach 20,000 BTC The company announced today that it purchased 1,009 BTC for approximately 16.48 billion yen ($112 million). According to Metaplanet’s statement, the latest purchases were made at an average price of $111,068. This move places Metaplanet sixth among the largest Bitcoin treasury companies globally. According to Bitcointreasuries.net data, the company likely surpassed Riot Platforms with this move. The company’s increase of its Bitcoin holdings to 20,000 BTC comes after surpassing its 10,000 BTC target, announced less than three months ago. Metaplanet quickly revised its initial target of 10,000 BTC at the beginning of the year, announcing its aim to accumulate 30,000 BTC by the end of the year. Last week, the company announced plans to raise 130 billion yen (about $880 million) through an international share issuance and to direct the bulk of that funding to buying Bitcoin in the next two months. CEO Simon Gerovich also stated that they may acquire cash-generating companies in the future by using Bitcoin assets as collateral. Meanwhile, Metaplanet shares were down 2.62% on Japanese exchanges Monday morning. However, U.S.-listed shares were up 0.83% at $6.11 at the close on Friday. Metaplanet’s fast-growing Bitcoin strategy is making the company stand out globally in the crypto market. *This is not investment advice.

75% Volume Spike, Four (FORM) Dips, Bears Grip Tighter: Is the Bottom Near?

75% Volume Spike, Four (FORM) Dips, Bears Grip Tighter: Is the Bottom Near?

The post 75% Volume Spike, Four (FORM) Dips, Bears Grip Tighter: Is the Bottom Near? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FORM is hovering around the $3 range. Trading volume has surged by over 75%. The bearish wave in the crypto market has triggered a majority of the assets to enter the red zone. As the tokens lose momentum, along with the largest assets, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), are currently hovering at $109.4K and $4.4K. Notably, the altcoin, Four (FORM), has become the top loser of the day.  FORM has reported a steady loss of over 21.12%. In the early hours, the asset traded at a high range of $3.81. With a potential bearish shift, the price has slipped toward a low of $2.82. If the bears do not take a rest, the price might see more downside.  As reported by CoinMarketCap data, the negative outlook has triggered the FORM price to trade within the $3.05 range. Meanwhile, the asset’s market cap has reached $1.17 billion, with Four’s daily trading volume has increased by over 75.05%, touching the $149.06 million mark.  Is There a Floor for FORM’s Price? When FORM’s both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence line and the signal line are found below the zero line, it implies an overall bearish grip in the market. Also, if the MACD rises above the signal line, the trend is still weak until both lines climb above zero.  Moreover, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator of Four at -0.38 points to a strong selling pressure with the bearish sentiment and weak accumulation in the market. The negative CMF value shows that the money is leaving the asset’s market.  The four-hour price chart exhibits the bear hold, and the price could fall and test the nearby support at $2.98. With the death cross, the downside correction of FORM strengthens, sending the price toward $2.91. Upon a reversal, the asset’s price might climb to the…

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: ‘A Collapse Could Happen in a Possible Financial Crisis!’ Details Here

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: ‘A Collapse Could Happen in a Possible Financial Crisis!’ Details Here

The post Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: ‘A Collapse Could Happen in a Possible Financial Crisis!’ Details Here appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jean Tirole, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2014, said that current regulations for stablecoins are inadequate and that governments may have to prepare billions of dollars in rescue packages if these digital assets collapse during a possible financial crisis. Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: “Inadequate Regulation Could Lead to Government Bailouts” Speaking in an interview, Tirole emphasized that stablecoins are seen as “completely safe deposits” for ordinary users, but in reality, they can lead to serious losses. According to him, if trust in stablecoins is shaken, there could be a mass outflow of deposits, making government intervention inevitable. Tirole also highlighted US Treasury bonds, which stablecoin issuers frequently use as reserve assets. The economist noted that these low-yielding bonds could lose their appeal in the long run, and that companies may be more likely to turn to riskier assets in search of higher returns. This could exacerbate systemic risks. Economic circles frequently point out that despite the stablecoin market’s rapid growth, regulation is slow. Tirole’s statements have reinforced calls for stricter regulations in this area. According to experts, a potential crisis in the stablecoin market could impact not only the crypto ecosystem but also the broader financial system. Tirole’s warning reiterates the need for governments to address potential risks in advance. *This is not investment advice.

Holding steady in August – UOB Group

Holding steady in August – UOB Group

The post Holding steady in August – UOB Group appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) business surveys improved marginally in August while the private sector RatingDog China manufacturing PMI unexpectedly returned to expansion at 50.5 in August (Bloomberg est: 49.8, July: 49.5). The CFLP PMIs which tend to relate more closely with the broader economy, indicate the lack of new growth catalysts as domestic and external demand continue to face headwinds. Earlier data in July showed a broad-based slowdown in industrial production, retail sales, fixed assets investment and surveyed jobless rates, UOB Group’s economist Ho Woei Chen notes. China PMIs show tepid August recovery “The CFLP manufacturing PMI rose 0.1 pt to 49.4 in August (Bloomberg est: 49.5, July: 49.3). This marked the fifth consecutive month that the index is in contraction (reading<50) since the US President Trump’s announcement of the reciprocal tariffs in Apr.” “Within the manufacturing PMI, production (50.8 from 50.5 in July) expanded at a faster pace. New orders (49.5 from 49.4 in July) and new export orders (47.2 from 47.1 in July) inched up 0.1 pt but remained in contraction. Despite a pickup in manufacturing activity, employment (47.9 from 48.0 in July) weakened slightly in August. By enterprise size, the large-sized enterprises (50.8 from 50.3 in July) continued to outperform. The outlook for medium-sized enterprises (48.9 from 49.5 in July) and small-sized enterprises (46.6 from 46.4 in July) stayed in contraction in August.” “The CFLP non-manufacturing PMI added 0.2 pt to 50.3 in August (Bloomberg est: 50.2, July: 50.1). Improvements in the services index (50.5 from 50.0 in June) cushioned the slump in the construction index (49.1 from 50.6 from in July) which registered its first contraction in seven months, with weakness contributed by the adverse weather conditions.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/china-holding-steady-in-august-uob-group-202509010925
