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.

The 25 Colleges With The Highest Payoff

The 25 Colleges With The Highest Payoff

The post The 25 Colleges With The Highest Payoff appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. John Jay College of Criminal Justice is one of eight City University of New York colleges on our list of the 25 best schools for return on investment. Plexi Images/GHI/UCG/Universal Images Group/Getty Images With artificial intelligence beginning to eat away at many white-collar entry-level jobs, and the unemployment rate for recent college graduates currently higher than the overall rate, it’s easy to question the value of a college degree. And even those convinced of the long-term worth of a degree, can still get serious sticker shock from the listed tuition prices at private universities. The good news is that students don’t need to enroll at the most expensive universities to earn a degree worth the investment. And some of the most prestigious, fancy schools have pretty generous aid for middle-class students, as well those from poor families. As part of the Forbes 2026 Top Colleges ranking, we put together a list of the 25 schools that offer students the best returns on their investment—high earnings potential for a relatively low price. To determine which of Forbes’ top 500 colleges offer the best return on investment (ROI), we looked at each school’s price-to-earnings premium, a calculation by the think tank Third Way that shows the number of years it takes graduates to recoup the net cost (after grants and scholarships are deducted) of their education. And then we looked at the schools’ debt-to-percent-borrowed index, a figure that Forbes created for the top 500 colleges list. It takes into account the percentage of students who take on debt to attend a school, and how much debt those graduates leave with. All of the federal data we used is from the 2023-24 academic year. The 25 colleges that scored highly on both of these metrics are featured here. Four of the top five…

Robinhood, Strategy Plunge as They Won’t Be Included in S&P 500

Robinhood, Strategy Plunge as They Won’t Be Included in S&P 500

The post Robinhood, Strategy Plunge as They Won’t Be Included in S&P 500 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Robinhood and Strategy shares fell after missing S&P 500 inclusion. Robinhood stock is up nearly 190% in 2025 but has been snubbed twice this year. Strategy bought 3,081 BTC for $356.9M, bringing holdings to 632,457 BTC. Shares of trading platform Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ: HOOD) and Bitcoin BTC $110 104 24h volatility: 1.4% Market cap: $2.19 T Vol. 24h: $52.29 B treasury giant Strategy Inc (NASDAQ: MSTR) slid in after-hours trading on Aug. 25 after the companies were passed over for inclusion in the S&P 500. The announcement from S&P Dow Jones Indices favored Interactive Brokers Group Inc (NASDAQ: IBKR), which will join the index on Aug. 28, replacing Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ: WBA). Robinhood Snub Sends Shares Lower Wall Street had long anticipated Robinhood’s addition to the benchmark index, especially after its nearly 190% rally in 2025, fueled by retail enthusiasm and record-breaking stock highs. But once again, the company was overlooked, triggering a modest sell-off. Robinhood shares dropped 1.26% during Monday’s session to $107.40 and slid another 0.65% after hours. On the other hand, Interactive Brokers gained nearly 4.29% to $65.21 on Aug. 25 and is up 0.5% in the after-hours trading session. This marks the second time in recent months that Robinhood has been left out. Back in June, S&P Dow Jones announced no changes to the index, leaving HOOD out. Strategy Stumbles amid Bitcoin Drop Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) was also a candidate for S&P 500 inclusion after its market cap rose with Bitcoin’s rise to new all-time highs. However, the company was left out, and its shares fell 4.17% to $341 on Monday, followed by another 0.09% decline in after-hours trading. Bitcoin also slipped below $110,000, dropping as low as $108,000. Analysts expect the leading digital asset to soar in the fourth quarter…

Crypto market pullback triggers $900 million in leveraged liquidations, analysts point to further downside risks

Crypto market pullback triggers $900 million in leveraged liquidations, analysts point to further downside risks

PANews reported on August 26th that, according to The Block, Bitcoin fell to approximately $110,000 on Tuesday, dragging the overall cryptocurrency market lower. A wave of forced liquidations has heightened volatility in derivatives markets, with short-term volatility surging ahead of the release of key US economic data. CoinGlass data shows that over $900 million in leveraged positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, the majority of which were long positions. Sean Dawson, head of research at Derive.xyz, stated that major cryptocurrencies had a dismal start to the week, with Bitcoin and Ethereum's daily volatility jumping from 15% and 41% to 38% and 70%, respectively. Recent higher-than-expected US Producer Price Index data has heightened market concerns about macroeconomic factors. Traders are seeking risk-averse protection ahead of the release of US GDP data on August 28th and employment data in early September, driving volatility higher. Caution has also emerged in the options market, with the 25-delta skew turning negative and demand for put options increasing, indicating "the strongest demand for downside protection in two weeks." Market odds are also shifting towards a retest of $100,000 for Bitcoin and $4,000 for Ethereum before the end of September. Leverage adjustments have been uneven. Glassnode data shows that total open interest in Bitcoin futures contracts fell 2.6%, while long funding rates increased 29%. BRN Research Director Timothy Misir believes the market decline is a result of leveraged funds liquidating. If Bitcoin fails to maintain near $110,000, technical indicators will appear "fragile." $103,700 and $100,800 are key levels, and a breach would "jeopardize the bull market structure." However, corporate funds and Wall Street have engaged in selective bottom-fishing amid market volatility.
