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.

USD whips on data but wilts on Trump – DBS

USD whips on data but wilts on Trump – DBS

The post USD whips on data but wilts on Trump – DBS appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The DXY Index climbed 0.7% to 98.4 overnight, primarily on profit-taking sparked by better-than-expected US new home sales (NHS). Earlier, the index consolidated in a narrow 97.8-98.0 range throughout the Asian and European sessions, digesting last Friday’s 0.9% sell-off to 97.7 following Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s signal for a September rate cut. We caution against reading too much into July’s NHS surprise. On a 12-month rolling sum basis, sales contracted for a fifth consecutive month, highlighting weak underlying demand underscored by mounting inventories, DBS’ FX analyst Philip Wee reports. US data drives volatility, Trump pressures Fed “Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan flagged potential money market strains at the end of 3Q25, another reason keeping the September rate cut in play. However, Logan noted that the Fed had the tools to manage the temporary stress. Logan hinted that the easing may extend beyond September by urging investors to look beyond the dot plot toward the diversity of views in next month’s Summary of Economic Projections. Attention will likely turn to the Fed’s median estimate of the neutral rate, which increased in June to 3% from a pre-pandemic 2.5%, still below the current 4.25-4.50% Fed Funds Rate.” “Given the market’s sensitivity to incoming US data, the DXY could easily flip lower on disappointing US consumer sentiment today. Consensus expects the US Conference Board’s consumer confidence index to ease slightly to 96.5 in August from 97.2 in July, which does not align with the shockingly weak nonfarm payrolls. August payrolls are expected to stay below 100k for a fourth straight month next week. As noted in the previous report, tariffs should remain a top concern for consumers, driving prices higher. However, this Friday’s PCE release is expected to slow headline inflation slowing to 0.2% MoM in July from 0.3% in June, while core holds steady at 0.3%.” “All said, one thing…

How BlackRock and Goldman Sachs are bringing Wall Street’s hottest asset class to 401(k)s

How BlackRock and Goldman Sachs are bringing Wall Street’s hottest asset class to 401(k)s

The post How BlackRock and Goldman Sachs are bringing Wall Street’s hottest asset class to 401(k)s appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wall Street’s largest firms are championing a new cause. They are bringing alternative assets — once reserved for the ultra-wealthy — to the portfolios of individual investors. Chief among the proponents are BlackRock and Goldman Sachs. But, as is usually the case in investing, the potential of greater returns comes at a risk. “The alternative market is becoming less alternative,” said Jon Diorio, head of alternatives for wealth at asset management giant BlackRock. Alternatives are assets outside of stocks, bonds, and cash — including private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, cryptocurrencies, and more. “It’s growing very rapidly as public markets are shrinking,” Diorio told CNBC in a recent interview. Interest has been fueled by shrinking public market opportunities and a softening regulatory environment. President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this month that paved the way for alternative assets in 401(k) retirement accounts — an idea vehemently opposed by the Biden administration. Diorio, who also leads product strategy for BlackRock’s U.S. wealth advisory business, said that giving more investors exposure to alternatives — which have traditionally been part of the portfolios of ultra high net-worth individuals, hedge funds, and pension funds — can improve returns over the long run. “In some cases, you can get enhanced diversification [and] amplify return streams,” he added. Giving individual investors the same access to different asset classes as the pros has been championed as further democratizing Wall Street. However, it also comes with its own risks. These assets are not publicly traded, which means they are more difficult to value and less liquid. BlackRock’s Diorio and peers at other major financial firms are acutely aware of this and strive to make sure investors are, too, as they challenge the decades-old focus on the traditional retail portfolio split of 60% stocks and 40%…

US confidence and RBA Minutes

US confidence and RBA Minutes

The post US confidence and RBA Minutes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) regained some composure and managed to partially fade Friday’s post-Powell in quite a positive start to the new trading week. Investors’ attention, in the meantime, is expected to remain on the trade front and rising speculation of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Here’s what to watch on Tuesday, August 26: The US Dollar Index (DXY) clocked decent gains and reclaimed the 98.00 barrier and beyond as market participants digested Chief Powell’s dovish remarks at the Jackson Hole event. The Consumer Confidence gauged by the Conference Board will grab all the attention, seconded by Durable Goods Orders, the FHFA’s House Price Index, the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index, and the API’s weekly report on US crude oil inventories. EUR/USD kickstarted the week on the back foot, returning to the 1.1650 area, or daily lows, following the Greenback’s marked rebound. Next on the domestic docket will be Germany’s Consumer Confidence tracked by GfK on August 27. GBP/USD traded on the defensive, coming under pressure and revisiting the sub-1.3500 zone. The BRC Shop Price Index will be released next. USD/JPY resumed its uptrend, leaving behind Friday’s steep decline and challenging the mid-147.00s once again. The weekly Foreign Bond Investment figures will be the next event on the Japanese calendar on August 28. AUD/USD navigated a tight range, breaking below the 0.6500 contention zone amid marginal gains. The RBA Minutes will be the salient event in Oz. Crude oil prices extended their gradual ascent, briefly trespassing the $65.00 mark per barrel of American WTI against the backdrop of supply fears and geopolitical tensions. The US Dollar’s decent gains and the rebound in US yields across the curve did not prevent Gold prices from adding to Friday’s gains and coming close to the $3,380 mark per troy ounce on…

Metaplanet Joins FTSE Japan Index, Continues to Stack Bitcoin

Metaplanet Joins FTSE Japan Index, Continues to Stack Bitcoin

The post Metaplanet Joins FTSE Japan Index, Continues to Stack Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief FTSE Russell’s September review has elevated the company from small-cap to mid-cap status. Eric Trump, a strategic adviser since March, is expected to attend the company’s next shareholder meeting in Tokyo. The inclusion will channel passive investment flows into a balance sheet centered on Bitcoin, though not without risks, analysts told Decrypt. Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed hotel group that over the past year has recast itself as Asia’s most active Bitcoin treasury firm, will be added to the FTSE Japan Index, further embedding the world’s largest digital asset into mainstream equity portfolios. The change was confirmed in an announcement from FTSE Russell’s September 2025 semi-annual review on Friday, which upgraded Metaplanet from small-cap to mid-cap status, with the index inclusion taking effect after market close by September 19. Metaplanet’s inclusion marks another “important milestone” as it attempts to stay “as Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury company, CEO Simon Gerovich wrote Sunday on X.  Shortly after Gerovich announced the inclusion, the company disclosed the purchase of an additional 103 BTC, bringing total holdings to 18,991 BTC. It also updated its capital structure, saying 49,000 stock acquisition rights were exercised in the week of August 18–22, adding 4.9 million shares and lifting the total to 722 million, a step that funds further Bitcoin purchases but leaves each existing investor with a smaller slice of the company. Eric Trump, appointed as a strategic adviser to Metaplanet in March, will reportedly attend Metaplanet’s next shareholder meeting in Tokyo in September, according to a Friday report from Bloomberg. Part of the FTSE global equity index series, the FTSE Japan Index tracks mid and large-cap companies listed in Japan. Funds that track the index automatically buy the stocks it lists. Passive inflow effects Metaplanet’s inclusion in the FTSE Japan and All-World indices creates a “regulated…

Bitcoin Price Crashes Below $110,000 After Whale Sold 24,000 BTC

Bitcoin Price Crashes Below $110,000 After Whale Sold 24,000 BTC

The post Bitcoin Price Crashes Below $110,000 After Whale Sold 24,000 BTC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The price of Bitcoin has plunged below $110,000 in the past 24 hours, marking one of its steepest corrections in weeks. According to data from Bitcoin Magazine Pro, the world’s largest cryptocurrency dropped to $108,890 and remains below the $110,000 threshold at the time of writing. The decline represents a sharp sell-off from just last Friday, when Bitcoin traded as high as $117,000, before tumbling to $109,894 over the weekend. The downward momentum was accelerated by a massive whale sale. Over the weekend, a single Bitcoin holder offloaded 24,000 BTC worth more than $2.7 billion, sparking additional selling pressure and driving the price lower. The large transaction caused heightened volatility and weighed heavily on market sentiment. Despite the sharp move down, sentiment has not yet tipped fully into fear. The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index, a widely watched market sentiment tool, currently sits at 48/100, which is categorized as “neutral” but hovers just above “fear.” The Fear and Greed Index is a tool that helps investors and traders analyze the Bitcoin and Crypto market from a sentiment perspective. It identifies the extent to which the market is becoming overly fearful or overly greedy. Hence why it is called the Fear and Greed Index. Bitcoin Magazine Pro explains that the Index helps investors separate their emotions from broader market reactions, offering insights into when assets may be overbought or oversold. Scores near zero reflect “extreme fear,” while scores close to 100 represent “extreme greed.” With Bitcoin currently at 48, sentiment is edging toward concern but has not yet fully entered bearish territory. Meanwhile, underlying network fundamentals remain strong despite price weakness. Bitcoin’s hash rate—a measure of the total computational power securing the network—is approaching a new record high. The current daily value stands at 909,080,589 Th/s, just shy of the all-time…

Canary Capital Seeks SEC Approval for ETF on President Trump’s Memecoin

Canary Capital Seeks SEC Approval for ETF on President Trump’s Memecoin

Asset manager Canary Capital has submitted an S-1 registration with the U.S. SEC to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to President Donald Trump’s memecoin, TRUMP. This move would give investors regulated exposure to one of the most politically driven tokens in the crypto market. Trump Coin ETF Filing The proposed Trump Coin ETF will track the price of TRUMP, a memecoin launched in January ahead of Trump’s inauguration. The fund would allow investors to buy the token through traditional brokerage accounts instead of relying solely on crypto exchanges. Notably, as of today, TRUMP ranks among the six biggest meme coins in the crypto market. It has a market cap of $1.67 billion and a price of $8.37. During the peak of the frenzy around TRUMP in January, the coin rose to become the second biggest meme coin, trailing only Dogecoin, with its price then at $75. As of today, it is trading at a staggering 89% below its all-time high.  Meanwhile, multiple asset managers see potential in the coin as they file for ETFs related to it. Notably, details such as management fees and the listing venue were not disclosed in the filing. American-Made Crypto ETF Application Alongside the Trump filing, Canary also applied for an “American-Made Crypto ETF” under the ticker MRCA. This product would track an index of U.S.-rooted cryptocurrencies such as XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar, while excluding memecoins, stablecoins, and pegged tokens. The fund plans to add staking rewards to its net asset value through third-party providers. Custody would be operated by a South Dakota trust company, with most assets stored in cold wallets. SEC’s Delays on Crypto Funds The filings come as the SEC continues to extend decision deadlines on multiple digital asset ETFs. New review dates for XRP, Solana, and Truth Social-linked funds now run into October 2025. Canary itself has several pending ETF applications tied to SOL, XRP, SUI, TRX, and PENGU, all still awaiting review. While recent SEC guidance has clarified staking and custody rules, approvals remain slow-moving.

Inside Go Channels: Buffers, Locks, and the Runtime Memory Model

Inside Go Channels: Buffers, Locks, and the Runtime Memory Model

Go channels are a core concurrency feature designed to safely coordinate goroutines without manual locks. Beneath their simple syntax lies a complex runtime system: channels are built on hchan structs with buffers, queues, and locks; sudog structures represent blocked goroutines; and the Go scheduler integrates tightly to park and wake goroutines efficiently. From direct stack copies in unbuffered sends to broadcast semantics when closing channels, every detail ensures correctness and performance. This deep dive explains how channels embody CSP principles, why they’re safer than shared memory, and how understanding their internals helps developers write better concurrent Go programs.
