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.

Jay Powell said a rate cut in September is possible but depends on upcoming jobs

Jay Powell said a rate cut in September is possible but depends on upcoming jobs

The post Jay Powell said a rate cut in September is possible but depends on upcoming jobs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wall Street is charging full speed toward a September rate cut. But a couple of economic reports could crash that fantasy into a wall. Federal Reserve chair Jay Powell gave the greenlight for a possible rate cut. But he also warned that it all hinges on whether jobs and inflation numbers behave. Powell said the current high borrowing costs are now pushing too hard on the labor market. And that, he claimed, could justify cutting rates as early as mid-September. That was all traders needed to hear. US stocks popped. Bond yields plunged. Futures traders immediately priced in a 75% chance that the Fed trims its main rate by a quarter point in its next meeting. The current federal funds rate sits between 4.25% and 4.5%, but the market’s already guessing more cuts will follow deep into 2025. Traders brace for CPI and jobs data to decide September cut But that bet could die quick. Powell hinted, not promised. And several people inside and around the Fed aren’t convinced. The Fed is stuck between its two legal responsibilities, keeping employment strong and prices stable. Powell admitted it’s not looking good on either side. July’s jobs report showed hiring slowing way down. That data came in after the Fed’s last meeting. It spooked officials, but the 4.2% unemployment rate helped ease some of the tension. The problem is, if that starts rising, the story changes. Meanwhile, the inflation side of things is tangled in Trump’s economic moves. His new tariffs on foreign goods have triggered a heated debate inside the Fed. Some believe the price surge will pass. Others think it could stick. Businesses say the worst impact will hit after they run out of pre-tariff inventory. Consumer prices in July ran at a 2.7% annual rate. Not ideal, but not…

There is a ‘High Bar’ for another rate cut

The post There is a ‘High Bar’ for another rate cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Joachim Nagel spoke in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he’s attending the Federal Reserve’s annual symposium. Nagel said that the central bank would need a significant shift in the economic outlook to lower borrowing costs again, Bloomberg reported on Sunday.  Key quotes The Eurozone is in a kind of equilibrium with inflation and interest rates both at 2%.  I think the bar is high. So it needs a lot to convince me to change monetary policy. Market reaction At the time of press, the EUR/USD pair was down 0.19% on the day at 1.1697. Euro FAQs The Euro is the currency for the 19 European Union countries that belong to the Eurozone. It is the second most heavily traded currency in the world behind the US Dollar.

Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: BTC Correction Amid Over $1 Billion ETF Outflows

The post Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: BTC Correction Amid Over $1 Billion ETF Outflows  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) price remains under pressure, consolidating above $111,980 support after dropping more than 3%. BTC pullback continued as weakening demand and profit-taking keep weighing in, as spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) saw over $1.15 billion in outflows. Bitcoin Spot ETFs Record the Highest Weekly Outflow in Five Months  Bitcoin price continued its correction over the weekend, having declined nearly 8% from its all-time high of $124,747 on August 14. The falling institutional demand fueled this price pullback. SoSoValue data shows that Bitcoin Spot ETFs have recorded a total of $1.15 billion in outflows until Thursday, the highest outflow since early March. If this outflow continues and intensifies, BTC could see further correction ahead. Total Bitcoin Spot ETF Net Inflow weekly chart. Source: SoSoValue On-chain Data Shows Profit-taking Activity Fuels BTC Correction  CryptoQuant’s weekly report on Wednesday highlighted that slowing demand and profit-taking are key drivers of the BTC correction.  The graph below shows that the BTC demand is continuing to weaken. Bitcoin Apparent Demand has dropped from its July peak of 174,000 BTC to 59,000 BTC on Wednesday. During the same period, the demand from major institutional buyers has also slowed, with 30-day ETF net purchases (red) standing at 11,000 BTC, their lowest level since April 25, and Strategy’s accumulation (grey) falling sharply from 171,000 BTC in November 2024 highs to 27,000 in the last 30 days, suggests fading momentum, which likely contributed to the recent price correction. If demand continues to soften, Bitcoin could remain in a consolidation phase or see further correction. Bitcoin Apparent Demand 30-day Sum (Left) Chart. Bitcoin Demand Growth 30-day (Right) Chart.
