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.

India looks to calibrate inflation gauge with Amazon, Flipkart price data

India looks to calibrate inflation gauge with Amazon, Flipkart price data

The post India looks to calibrate inflation gauge with Amazon, Flipkart price data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. India declared through its Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation that it plans to include price data from Amazon and Walmart’s Flipkart when estimating the inflation rate. According to the Ministry’s Secretary, Saurabh Garg, recent data from the HCES showed that e-commerce is gaining enough popularity among households to warrant this consideration. The Statistics Minister, Rao Singh, said his Ministry aims to capture shifting consumer spending habits, claiming the current data is outdated. He also pointed out that accounting for prices from e-commerce sites could strengthen the country’s inflation data. Singh pointed out that the U.S. and South Korea are already spearheading the trend, integrating online and scanner prices into inflation data estimates. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s MPC (Monetary Policy Committee) expects the country’s inflation for 2025 to remain way below the targeted 4%, as reported by Cryptopolitan.    Garg says the price scraping from e-commerce sites is underway Secretary Garg disclosed that price scraping on major e-commerce websites is ongoing, saying that his Ministry targeted 12 cities with populations above 2.5 million. He added that the Ministry is in talks with other e-commerce websites to access their price data directly. The e-commerce platforms were formally requested to send their weekly price averages to the government. The data would then be cross-checked against other datasets to balance out errors. A private study claimed that India’s 270 million online shoppers in 2024 were projected to grow by 22% annually. According to the Ministry, the new data sources will be integrated into calculating CPI estimates beginning in early 2026. Weightages will be shifted to reflect the country’s dwindling share of food among households. The revamped CPI index will also include media streaming and air travel prices from online platforms. Both consumption segments are allegedly dominant in Indian households. The Statistics Ministry’s…

U.S. stock market hits its most expensive valuation in history

U.S. stock market hits its most expensive valuation in history

The post U.S. stock market hits its most expensive valuation in history appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. stock market reached its most expensive valuation ever, rebounding strongly from the early spring tariff blow. The NASDAQ Composite, for instance, has surged over 40% since April 8, extending a decade-long bull market in growth stocks driven by cloud computing and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Equity markets are now trading at valuation levels surpassing even those of the 1999 Dot-Com Bubble and the 1929 rally leading up to the Great Depression. JUST IN 🚨: U.S. Stock Market hits its most expensive valuation in history, surpassing the Dot Com Bubble and the run-up to the Great Depression 🤯 pic.twitter.com/Ek448TuUwK — Barchart (@Barchart) August 25, 2025 Record stock market valuation levels Extreme valuations such as these are rare and often precede periods of turbulence, as evidenced by the aforementioned Great Depressio and NASDAQ falling three consecutive years and ultimately plunging 78% from its March 2000 peak following the Dot-Com Boom.  The central question is thus whether the momentum signals the start of another bubble or whether we might be witnessing a new equilibrium in an economy increasingly defined by shifts in the technology sector. Indeed, large growth tech stocks such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) have not only outpaced small caps and value stocks, but their performance relative to the S&P 500 (SPX) is also vastly higher than it was in the late ‘90s.  Market concentration is also higher than in previous cycles, as the “Magnificent Seven” stocks now command record weight in indexes.  Of course, it can also be argued that the record numbers are driven by exponentially larger earnings. Nvidia, for example, has seen unprecedented gains, making its stock less reliant on hype than many Dot-Com era favorites.

XRP Price to Make Major Move in Next 10 Days: Details

XRP Price to Make Major Move in Next 10 Days: Details

The post XRP Price to Make Major Move in Next 10 Days: Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Indecisive market Important price zone The next 10 days may determine the short-term trajectory of XRP, which is nearing a pivotal point on the chart. A symmetrical triangle pattern, which is known to build pressure prior to a significant breakout or breakdown, has been the asset’s pattern of consolidation. Since the price of XRP is now just a few steps away from the peak, a spike in volatility is anticipated soon. Indecisive market The symmetrical triangle illustrates the market’s indecisiveness: although buyers and sellers are engaged in combat, neither side has been able to seize control. In the past, depending on overall momentum and market movements, assets that reach the apex of such a triangle frequently experience a sharp move, either upward or downward. XRP/USDT Chart by TradingView Right now, XRP is trading at about $2.95. Support is located close to $2.80, and the triangle’s upper resistance line limits rallies around $3.10. While a breakdown could force the price back to the $2.70 zone, or even the 200-day EMA if sentiment deteriorates, a breakout above resistance could swiftly move XRP back to the $3.30-$3.50 range. You Might Also Like At 49, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in a neutral position, nearly in the middle. This supports the notion that XRP is in a waiting period before making a meaningful move, by indicating that the market is neither overbought nor oversold. However, volume has been steadily dropping, which is consistent with triangle consolidations, but also suggests that sustained breakouts will need high participation. Important price zone The 200-day EMA is still much lower, while the 50-day and 100-day EMAs are currently functioning as close dynamic supports. This emphasizes how crucial the $2.75-$2.80 zone is for bulls to defend. Ten days remain until price action most likely hits the triangle’s apex,…

JPMorgan Says Fed Won’t Cut Interest Rates in September, Explains Why!

JPMorgan Says Fed Won’t Cut Interest Rates in September, Explains Why!

The post JPMorgan Says Fed Won’t Cut Interest Rates in September, Explains Why! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It approached 90% after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell delivered moderate remarks at the Jackson Hole meeting on Friday. While the market expects the Fed to make its first interest rate cut of 2025 in September, JPMorganChase said in a recent report that the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates in September. In his Jackson Hole speech, Powell opened the door to the possibility of a rate cut, saying, “It’s time to change the policy stance.” But JPMorganChase expects the Fed to delay a rate cut at its September FOMC meeting, despite Powell signaling a return to a rate cut on Friday. JP Morgan economist Bruce Kasman predicted that the Fed will face serious infighting over the interest rate cut at its September meeting. Kasman stated that if the Fed cuts interest rates early and inflation rises again, it will be more difficult to stop it. “It will be difficult to achieve unanimity at the September meeting, and I anticipate that Chairman Powell will make the final decision.” Kasman cited the strengthening of the number of dovish members and moderate voices within the Fed as reasons for this, and the decrease in the likelihood of a unanimous decision after moderate Stephen Miran joined the committee in place of Adriana Kugler. JPMorgan added that rising inflation risks make a sudden cut unlikely. *This is not investment advice. Follow our Telegram and Twitter account now for exclusive news, analytics and on-chain data!

Global stocks slow down as BTC, ETH, dollar, and gold cool off

Global stocks slow down as BTC, ETH, dollar, and gold cool off

The post Global stocks slow down as BTC, ETH, dollar, and gold cool off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Global stocks cooled off sharply on Monday as investors paused after Friday’s blowout rally and turned their focus to Nvidia’s earnings. U.S. futures for the Dow dropped by 99 points, or 0.2%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 also edged down 0.2% and 0.3% respectively, ending the brief euphoria from last week. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had exploded by 846.24 points, or 1.89%, to close at 45,631.74. The S&P 500 climbed 1.52% to 6,466.91, coming within three points of a new all-time high. The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.88% to finish at 21,496.53, pulled up by tech optimism just days ahead of Nvidia’s numbers. But crypto wasn’t feeling the love, as Ether tumbled by 5% to $4,588 after hitting a new all-time high of $4,954 just yesterday, following a breakout on Friday that pushed it past its 2021 peak. Bitcoin also lost steam, slipping by over 1% to $111,501. Over the weekend, the OG crypto hit a low of $110,779.01, its weakest level since July 10, after hitting a new all-time high of $124,496 on August 13. Both major cryptos were dragged down after traders digested comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who said rate cuts were likely coming. That sent risk-on assets soaring briefly, but also triggered liquidations. Data from CoinGlass showed more than $245 million in long positions on Ether and $175 million in long Bitcoin bets were wiped out in the past 24 hours. Asia rallies on tech gains as crypto fades While crypto corrected, Asian stocks had no interest in slowing down. Mainland China’s CSI 300 rose 2.08%, ending the day at 4,469.22. That made it four straight sessions of gains and marked a 37-month high earlier in the day. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index climbed 1.94% to 25,829.91, nearing a four-year peak.…

Bitcoin Price Drops Below $112,000 As Metaplanet Announces To Buy $11.7M Worth Of Bitcoin

Bitcoin Price Drops Below $112,000 As Metaplanet Announces To Buy $11.7M Worth Of Bitcoin

The post Bitcoin Price Drops Below $112,000 As Metaplanet Announces To Buy $11.7M Worth Of Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s price retreated below $112,000 as Japan’s Metaplanet announced the purchase of an additional 103 BTC worth approximately $11.7 million, bringing its total holdings to 18,991 BTC valued at roughly $2.2 billion. The announcement comes as FTSE Russell confirmed Metaplanet’s inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index, upgrading the company from small-cap to mid-cap status in its September 2025 semi-annual review. The index inclusion, set to take effect after market close on September 19, marks a significant milestone for corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies. “Another important milestone on our journey as Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury company,” Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich wrote on X (formerly Twitter). The company’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC. The latest purchase was partially funded through the exercise of 49,000 stock acquisition rights between August 18-22, which added 4.9 million shares to the company’s total outstanding shares, now reaching 722 million. This financing mechanism, while diluting existing shareholders, enables continued Bitcoin accumulation without depleting cash reserves. Metaplanet’s inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index creates a regulated route for BTC exposure and paves the way for other Bitcoin-forward companies to join major benchmarks. Passive flows into the FTSE indices could channel institutional capital into Metaplanet, offering indirect Bitcoin exposure. The company’s transformation from a traditional hotel group to Asia’s most active Bitcoin treasury firm reflects a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption. In the past month alone, five public companies have announced significant Bitcoin treasury initiatives, including Ming Shing Group’s $483 million purchase and KindlyMD’s $679 million acquisition. The integration of Bitcoin-heavy companies into traditional equity indices presents new challenges for institutional investors. While passive inflows through index inclusion could boost liquidity and long-term stability, large movements in Bitcoin prices could create unexpected volatility for passive investors. Eric Trump, who joined Metaplanet as a strategic adviser…

How Block-Based Parallelization Cuts IO and Computation Overhead

How Block-Based Parallelization Cuts IO and Computation Overhead

This article explores how block-based parallelization improves the efficiency of probabilistic circuits by reducing both IO and computation overhead. Starting with fully connected sum layers, it explains how assigning indices, grouping node blocks, and padding with pseudo-nodes enable optimized kernel launches. Using dynamic programming for partitioning ensures minimal overhead while maximizing speed. Results show that larger block sizes cut IO operations dramatically, achieving up to 50x faster performance without significant cost from padded edges.
