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.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Fundraising Strategy Under Pressure as Stock Drops 54%

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Fundraising Strategy Under Pressure as Stock Drops 54%

The post Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Fundraising Strategy Under Pressure as Stock Drops 54% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet, the Tokyo-listed firm aggressively accumulating Bitcoin, is facing mounting pressure as its share price tumbles, threatening the fundraising model it has used to build one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries globally. The company’s stock has dropped 54% since mid-June, despite Bitcoin (BTC) gaining around 2% during the same period. The decline has put its capital-raising “flywheel” under stress, a mechanism dependent on rising share prices to unlock funding through MS warrants issued to Evo Fund, its key investor. With shares down sharply, exercising these warrants is no longer attractive for Evo, squeezing Metaplanet’s liquidity and slowing its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, according to a Sunday report by Bloomberg. Led by former Goldman Sachs trader Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet currently holds 18,991 BTC, making it the seventh-largest public holder, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET. The firm has ambitions to grow its stack to 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027. Top 15 Bitcoin treasury companies. Source: BitcoinTreasuries.NET Related: Metaplanet, Smarter Web add almost $100M in Bitcoin to treasuries Metaplanet turns to overseas markets With its “flywheel” strategy losing momentum, Gerovich is turning to alternative fundraising. On Wednesday, Metaplanet announced plans to raise approximately 130.3 billion yen ($880 million) through a public share offering in overseas markets. Additionally, shareholders will vote on Monday on whether to approve the issuance of up to 555 million preferred shares, a rare instrument in Japan, which could raise as much as 555 billion yen ($3.7 billion). In an interview with Bloomberg, Gerovich called the preferred shares a “defensive mechanism,” allowing capital infusion without diluting common shareholders if the stock falls further. These shares, expected to offer up to 6% annual dividends and initially capped at 25% of the firm’s Bitcoin holdings, may appeal to Japanese investors starved of yield.

El Salvador Transfers Its Bitcoins to Multiple Different Addresses: They Have Issued a Statement

El Salvador Transfers Its Bitcoins to Multiple Different Addresses: They Have Issued a Statement

The post El Salvador Transfers Its Bitcoins to Multiple Different Addresses: They Have Issued a Statement appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office announced that it has increased security measures by splitting its reserves of approximately 6,300 BTC into 14 different addresses instead of keeping them in a single address. With the new regulation, no address can hold more than 500 BTC. This step is stated to be a precaution against potential future quantum computer threats. Acting under the direction of President Nayib Bukele, known for his pro-Bitcoin stance, the office claims to purchase 1 BTC daily. According to the office’s website, the current reserve is 6,284 BTC, worth approximately $682 million. While the entire reserve was previously held by a single address, on-chain data following the announcement indicates that the reserve has been distributed across 14 new addresses. “This step aligns with best practices in Bitcoin governance and prepares for potential developments in quantum computing. Limiting funds per address reduces exposure to quantum threats by protecting unused Bitcoin addresses with hashed public keys,” the office said in a statement. Quantum computers pose a theoretical threat to the ECDSA signatures used by Bitcoin, but analysts believe it will take decades for this risk to become a practical reality. Meanwhile, claims regarding El Salvador’s daily Bitcoin purchases are controversial. Documents signed by the country’s central bank governor and finance minister as part of the IMF loan agreement state that the public sector has not purchased BTC since February. Bukele or his office have not commented on the IMF report released in July, while continuing to announce daily purchases on the X platform. *This is not investment advice.

JUST IN: One of Japan’s Largest Banks Steps Up to the Cryptocurrency Sector

JUST IN: One of Japan’s Largest Banks Steps Up to the Cryptocurrency Sector

The post JUST IN: One of Japan’s Largest Banks Steps Up to the Cryptocurrency Sector appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japan Post Bank, one of Japan’s largest banks, plans to offer depositors a digital currency in fiscal 2026 that can be used for fast trading of blockchain-based financial products. The bank wants to make its 190 trillion yen (about $1.29 trillion) in deposits more effective and revive long-dormant accounts. The digital currency in question will be DCJPY, developed by Tokyo-based DeCurret DCP. Users will be able to link savings accounts with this currency, which will have a unit value of 1 yen = 1 DCJPY, and will be able to make instant conversions through the app. This will allow investors to buy and sell digital securities and other digital assets much faster. Japan Post Bank is looking to expand its client base, which is predominantly elderly, with younger investors. Digital currency will facilitate the trading of blockchain-based security tokens backed by assets like real estate and bonds. These tokens offer a potential return of 3% to 5%. Delivery and settlement processes, which typically take two days with traditional methods, will be instantaneous with digital currency technology. The bank is also working to enable local governments to pay their grants and aid through DCJPY. This will automatically transfer payments to accounts and digitize public processes. DeCurret DCP is in discussions with local governments on this issue. According to a report published in April by Boston Consulting Group and Ripple, the market for tokenized real-world assets will grow from $600 billion in 2025 to $18.9 trillion in 2033. This growth is seen as a key trend supporting Japan Post Bank’s plans. *This is not investment advice. Follow our Telegram and Twitter account now for exclusive news, analytics and on-chain data!

18 States Could See Aurora Borealis On Labor Day

18 States Could See Aurora Borealis On Labor Day

The post 18 States Could See Aurora Borealis On Labor Day appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline More than a dozen states could have a chance to see the aurora borealis on Labor Day, as periods of moderate to severe geomagnetic storms are expected to disrupt Earth’s magnetic field, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Periods of geomagnetic storms are expected through Tuesday, forecasters said. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts NOAA forecast a Kp index of six on a scale of nine for Monday night, suggesting the northern lights could be seen as far south as central Iowa and northern Illinois. Periods of moderate geomagnetic storming are likely Monday night, with a chance of “strong” storms as the effects of a coronal mass ejection—released from the sun’s surface on Aug. 30—reach the Earth’s atmosphere, according to NOAA. Possible influences from the coronal mass ejection may persist into early Tuesday morning, creating a chance for more severe geomagnetic storm periods and possibly making the northern lights visible farther south. Where Will The Northern Lights Be Visible? The highest likelihood of seeing the northern lights is forecast across northern Canada and Alaska, where the phenomenon may be seen once the sun sets in the state. A lesser, yet likely chance is projected in parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. (See map below.) Monday night’s view line. NOAA What’s The Best Way To See The Northern Lights? Aurora borealis is best seen throughout the winter months as the nights are longer, though the swirling displays can still be seen year-round, depending on solar activity. The northern lights are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time while at a high vantage point away from light pollution, according to NOAA. What’s The Best Way To Photograph The…

Ethereum (ETH) Announces Burn That Will Change Balances and Launches New Altcoin – Co-Founder Unveils Details

Ethereum (ETH) Announces Burn That Will Change Balances and Launches New Altcoin – Co-Founder Unveils Details

The post Ethereum (ETH) Announces Burn That Will Change Balances and Launches New Altcoin – Co-Founder Unveils Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Community Foundation has announced the launch of BETH, a new token representing burned ETH. BETH is designed as a proof-of-burn token that provides a transparent and auditable record of ETH burned. Every 1 BETH represents 1 ETH verified as being removed from circulation. According to the rule, when users send ETH to a smart contract, that ETH is permanently redirected to a “burn” address, and the same amount of BETH is minted in return, which is then returned to the sender. The system, which operates on the principle of “send 1 ETH, burn 1 ETH, receive 1 BETH,” aims to increase the scarcity of ETH in the supply and strengthen Ethereum’s monetary narrative. Ethereum co-founder and ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin stated that this new mechanism holds great economic potential in the future, saying, “ETH burning will become an extremely profitable activity.” Lubin also announced that new token projects such as BBETH and BBBeth will be developed alongside BETH. The Ethereum Community Foundation stated that BETH will not only reduce supply but also pave the way for innovative applications in areas such as governance, incentives, and financial instruments. This move aims to make the concepts of burning and scarcity as important as the production and issuance processes within the Ethereum ecosystem. *This is not investment advice.

HBAR price poised for a crash as Hedera forms a risky pattern

HBAR price poised for a crash as Hedera forms a risky pattern

The post HBAR price poised for a crash as Hedera forms a risky pattern appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. HBAR price has plunged in the past two weeks, moving into a bear market, and a risky pattern points to more downside in the coming weeks.  Summary Hedera price technical analysis points to a bearish breakout.  It has formed a highly bearish descending triangle pattern. Its strong fundamentals may help to offset the bearish outlook. Hedera (HBAR) was trading at $0.2243 today, Aug. 31, down by 26% from its highest point this year. It is hovering at its lowest level since July 13. Technical analysis points to HBAR price crash The daily timeframe chart shows that the HBAR price has been in a downtrend in the past few weeks, moving from a high of $0.3020 in August to $0.2232.  It has crashed below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average, a sign that bears are in control. Most notably, it has formed a descending triangle pattern, which is made up of horizontal support at $0.2257, and a descending trendline.  The support coincided with the top of the trading range of the Murrey Math Lines. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index has plunged below the neutral point at 50, while the MACD indicator has crossed the zero line.  Therefore, the most likely scenario is where the coin continues falling, with the next point to watch being the psychological target at $0.10, down by 55% from the current level.  On the flip side, a move above the upper side of the triangle will invalidate the bearish outlook and lead to more gains, potentially to the ultimate resistance at $0.30.

The most notable one is that the Securities and Exchange Commission may approve the spot HBAR ETF…

Bitcoin Rally Faces Doubts as Peter Schiff Warns the Peak May Be Behind Us

Bitcoin Rally Faces Doubts as Peter Schiff Warns the Peak May Be Behind Us

Bitcoin touched $124,000 before retracing, sparking Schiff’s peak warning. Gold forecasted at $6,000 while Bitcoin faces peak concerns. Market debate intensifies as critics question crypto’s remaining upside potential. Bitcoin’s sharp rally has fueled excitement among investors, but concerns are now rising. According to Peter Schiff, one of the most outspoken critics of the asset, the latest surge may have already topped out. His remarks follow Bitcoin climbing past $108,000 and touching highs near $124,500, sparking debate on whether the market has more strength left. Fourth-quarter gains have been explosive in prior cycles. Bitcoin went up 720 percent in 2013, 350 percent in 2017, and almost 60 percent in 2021. This year’s momentum is strong enough to generate triple-digit growth, but it has not reached the scale of these historic blow-off rallies. Proponents say the cycle may nonetheless extend, citing past Q4 melt-ups as cause. Schiff is precisely the opposite and argues that history supports this caution rather than continuation. He cautioned that Bitcoin rallies tend to have significant reversals, exposing investors. His thought goes beyond crypto. He saw it as plausible that gold might hit $6,000 in the space of a year and predicted the U.S. dollar index could drop to 70, its lowest level since the mid-2000s. It might be. The top must be made at some point so it may have already been made. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) August 30, 2025 Also Read: XRP Price Teeters on Symmetrical Triangle Edge With $4.44 Breakout Target Schiff’s Gold Forecast Raises Questions for Crypto Schiff emphasized that upcoming turbulence is not limited to Bitcoin. He expects volatility across gold, silver, and stocks once U.S. markets reopen after the holiday. He also noted that Bitcoin and gold tend to trade inversely, meaning a rise in one could be resisted by the other. Despite this warning, Bitcoin bulls still believe that the asset has not fully realized its potential this cycle. They indicate the trend of final-year upswings that have dominated all of the significant upswings over the last decade. Schiff’s position, however, is indicative of his overall cynicism when it comes to digital assets and his preference for tried-and-true safe havens. Bitcoin’s recent surge has reignited the debate between crypto enthusiasts and long-term skeptics. Schiff’s warning that the peak may already be behind adds fresh uncertainty to the market. Whether history repeats itself or diverges will decide if Bitcoin still has more room to climb.

Tom Lee: The Federal Reserve is restarting its moderate rate cut cycle, which may make it difficult for traders to determine their US stock positions

Tom Lee: The Federal Reserve is restarting its moderate rate cut cycle, which may make it difficult for traders to determine their US stock positions

PANews reported on August 31st that according to Jinshi, the US stock market faces a critical period in the coming weeks, one that will determine whether the latest rebound in US stocks can continue. Employment data, key inflation indicators, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision will all be released over the next 14 trading days, setting the market tone for investors. The stock market appears to be at a crossroads: the S&P 500 just posted its weakest monthly gain since March, and September has historically been its worst month. Meanwhile, market volatility has all but vanished. The VIX index, a fear index, has only touched the key 20 level once since late June. "Investors are right to be cautious in September," said Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. "The Fed is resuming a moderate rate-cutting cycle after a long pause, making it difficult for traders to determine their positions." The long-term US stock bull expects the S&P 500 to fall 5% to 10% this fall before rebounding to between 6,800 and 7,000 points.
