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.

Is the Red September a Myth or Reality for Bitcoin and Altcoins? Is a Decline on the Horizon? Experts Weigh In

Is the Red September a Myth or Reality for Bitcoin and Altcoins? Is a Decline on the Horizon? Experts Weigh In

The post Is the Red September a Myth or Reality for Bitcoin and Altcoins? Is a Decline on the Horizon? Experts Weigh In appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While Bitcoin has been trending sideways in the last days of August, cryptocurrency investors are preparing for the possibility of an impending decline, as they do every year during this period. This phenomenon, known in the market as “Red September” or the “September Effect,” has been observed in traditional markets for nearly a century. Since 1928, the S&P 500 index has recorded an average negative return in September, making it the only consistently negative month in the index’s history. The picture is even bleaker for Bitcoin: since 2013, Bitcoin has lost an average of 3.77% of its value in September, experiencing eight sharp declines, according to Coinglass data. FinchTrade consultant Yuri Berg explains this as follows: “September has become more of a psychological experiment than a market anomaly. A selling wave is being generated by expectations rather than historical data.” This phenomenon stems from structural market behavior. Many investment funds close their fiscal year in September, divesting losing positions for tax reasons, and rebalancing their portfolios. With the summer holidays over, investors return to their trading desks to review their positions after a period of low liquidity. Furthermore, increased bond issuance after September accelerates the exit from stocks and risky assets. On the crypto side, these effects are even more magnified. Bitcoin, which trades 24/7, lacks circuit breakers during sell-offs, and its smaller market cap makes it vulnerable to large investor movements. September 2025 is approaching with mixed signals. The Fed has delivered positive messages, with markets pricing in the possibility of another interest rate cut for its September 18 meeting. Meanwhile, core inflation remains resilient at 3.1%, while two active wars are disrupting global supply chains. InFlux Technologies CEO Daniel Keller describes this scenario as a “perfect storm”: “There are two major conflict zones in Europe and the Middle…

Bitcoin price eyes $100k crash as Convano adopts Metaplanet-style buying strategy

Bitcoin price eyes $100k crash as Convano adopts Metaplanet-style buying strategy

The post Bitcoin price eyes $100k crash as Convano adopts Metaplanet-style buying strategy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin continued its downward trend after a major options expiry on Friday. It also plunged as Convano, a sleepy Japanese company, announced a BTC buying strategy. Summary Bitcoin price could crash to $100,000 as the recent momentum wanes. Convano, a Japanese company, aims to buy coins worth $3 billion. Bitcoin strategy companies have lost momentum this year. Convano to accumulate $3 billion worth of Bitcoin The Bitcoin (BTC) price, at last check on Saturday, is down more than 5.4% over the previous seven days, and down 13% from its all-time high this year. The rising uncertainty about the Federal Reserve, rising crypto liquidations, and a multi-billion-dollar options expiry triggered a crash. Still, despite the current crash, a small Japanese nail salon operator known as Convano has launched a new Bitcoin buying strategy. It is now rising about $3 billion, which it will use to acquire 21,000 Bitcoin. Its planned capital raise is much higher than its market capitalization of $386 million. Convano hopes to become a successful story like Strategy and Metaplanet. Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has seen its market capitalization jump from approximately $1 billion in 2020 to $90 billion, primarily driven by its Bitcoin buying strategy.  Similarly, Metaplanet has moved from being a hotel owner to a $2 billion company, helped by its 18,991 Bitcoin purchases.  The risk for Convano is that Bitcoin treasury companies are not doing well. Strategy stock has plunged by over 25% from its 2024 high, while Metaplanet has crashed by over 50% from the year-to-date high.  Other top companies that have adopted this strategy, such as GameStop, MicroCloud Hologram, and Trump Media, have also slumped. According to BitcoinTreasuries, there are now over 100 companies holding over 989,926 coins.  Bitcoin technical analysis BTC price chart | Source: crypto.news The daily timeframe chart shows…

Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Is Heading To $256K — Here’s When

Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Is Heading To $256K — Here’s When

The Bitcoin price never really caught a break over the past week, falling below the $110,000 mark by Tuesday, August 26. While it looked set to make a strong comeback, jumping back above $113,000 on Thursday, the flagship cryptocurrency is now struggling around a new multi-week low of around $107,500. This recent price decline has sparked conversations around the BTC bull cycle potentially reaching its peak, especially considering the market is currently dominated by euphoria. However, a crypto analyst on social media platform X has come forward with an audacious prediction for the Bitcoin price over the next few months. BTC To Reach Cycle Top In December 2025: Analyst Crypto analyst Frank Fetter—after a renowned American economist—took to the X platform to submit an exciting and bold prediction for the price of Bitcoin in the remaining months of 2025. According to the online pundit, the Bitcoin price could reach as high as $256,000 in this cycle. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Rally Over? Analyst Forecasts Drop To $94,000 If This Level Doesn’t Hold This positive projection is based on the Bitcoin Index Performance Since Cycle Low, which assesses the performance of the BTC price in various 4-year cycle periods. This metric reflects the cyclical nature of the largest cryptocurrency market. While many reports are predicting the cycle theory to be dead, this particular chart shows that Bitcoin has yet to even complete the current bull cycle in the first place. As observed in the highlighted chart, the Bitcoin Index Performance data suggests that the Bitcoin price, in the past two cycles (2015 – 2018 and 2018 – 2022), reached its peak around 1,100 days after hitting its cycle low. The premier cryptocurrency grew by 110x and 21x in these 2015 – 2018 and 2018 – 2022 cycles, respectively. With the market leader currently up by over 7x from its last cycle low and around 100 days away from the historical top, Fetter projects the price of BTC to reach as high as $256,000 based on the 2018 – 2022 fractal. If this history does repeat itself, it means the flagship cryptocurrency would have grown 16x by the end of this cycle. According to the analyst, the Bitcoin price could reach this target as early as December 3, 2025. This potential leg up would represent an almost 140% move from the current price point for BTC. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands around $108,301, reflecting a nearly 4% decline in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is down by more than 7% is the last seven days. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Next Stop $183K?

BTC, ETH ETFs hemorrhage $291M triggered by US inflation data

BTC, ETH ETFs hemorrhage $291M triggered by US inflation data

The post BTC, ETH ETFs hemorrhage $291M triggered by US inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs saw steep outflows on Friday as fresh U.S. inflation numbers rattled investor confidence. The outflows amounted to $291.28 million, a striking reversal of sentiment following weeks of inflows.  Ether ETFs led outflows, losing $164.64 million, SoSoValue reported. That snapped a stretch of five straight sessions of inflows that had added over $1.5 billion to the asset class. Bitcoin ETFs also saw outflows, losing $126.64 million in their first daily decline since Aug. 22. The drawdown drove a decline in assets under management (AUM) across the industry. Ethereum ETF assets under management dipped to $28.58 billion, and Bitcoin ETF AUM to $139.95 billion. Data from individual funds underscored the magnitude of the exodus. Fidelity’s FBTC topped the outflows list, with $66.2 million. The ARKB from ARK Invest and 21Shares was next up, with outflows of $72.07 million. GBTC by Grayscale registered an outflow of $15.3 million. Not all funds bled capital. BlackRock’s IBIT took in an estimated $24.63 million in inflows. WisdomTree’s BTCW inched to $2.3 million, showing that some investors were still in the mood to take advantage of the turbulence. Market wary as Fed inflation gauge lifts dollar The heavy outflows in the Bitcoin and Ether ETFs came as the U.S. published new inflation data that caught investors’ eyes. The central bank’s favored measure of underlying inflation, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, increased 2.9% year-over-year in July, the fastest pace since February. The figure aligned with economists’ estimates but reinforced that inflation pressures are proving sticky. The figure also comes as the Fed is pressured to follow through on long-awaited rate cuts. Looking closer at the report, energy prices offered some relief by partially offsetting overall increases. However, the services sector told a different story. Service costs surged 3.6% year-over-year, reflecting sustained…

Solana ETFs Advance With Updated Staking And Custody Plans

Solana ETFs Advance With Updated Staking And Custody Plans

The post Solana ETFs Advance With Updated Staking And Custody Plans appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Major investment firms revised their proposals for Solana-based exchange-traded funds (ETF) in the United States. Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck submitted amended S-1 filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2025. The filings showed continued talks with regulators and detailed new structures for staking, custody, and taxation. What do these changes reveal about the development of regulated Solana products? Solana ETF Included Staking Through Marinade Finance The updated documents introduced staking features for the funds. Marinade Finance was selected as the only staking provider. Each trust planned to allocate most of its holdings to Marinade for at least two years. Staking meant that tokens were locked to help secure the network in return for rewards. These rewards were set to be reinvested after deducting fees. By doing so, the fund’s net asset value would increase over time. The filings also highlighted Marinade’s instant unbonding tool. This feature allowed immediate liquidity for redemptions. Without it, investors would have needed to wait for Solana’s cycle to release staked tokens. The design gave the funds more flexibility to handle inflows and withdrawals. Solana Filings Expand Custody and Risk Disclosures Custody arrangements were also revised. Solana holdings would be split between hot and cold wallets. The custodian kept full control of private keys. Investors would not hold tokens directly. The filings admitted that risks remained despite these safeguards. Daily disclosure was another change. Each ETF’s website would publish its net asset value, total holdings, and data on whether shares traded at a premium or discount. The new drafts expanded sections on risk. They listed penalties from validator slashing, possible network outages, and potential validator failures. The possibility of forks or airdrops not being supported by the trust was also included. The filings added tax language for the first time. Sponsors said they…

Is Bitcoin Repeating Its 2021 Cycle Top?

Is Bitcoin Repeating Its 2021 Cycle Top?

The post Is Bitcoin Repeating Its 2021 Cycle Top? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin Analysis Bitcoin’s sharp retreat from its $124,500 peak has reignited debate over whether history is about to repeat itself. Analysts warn that the current price action looks eerily similar to the setup that preceded the 2021 crash into a long bear market. Crypto market commentator TradingShot noted on TradingView that each rebound attempt in recent weeks has been met with heavy selling, leaving BTC stuck below its 50-day moving average. This pattern — lower highs followed by lower lows — is the same formation that appeared four years ago before Bitcoin rolled into a brutal downtrend. Back then, a brief rebound followed a death cross and oversold RSI bounce, only to stall out in a “double top” formation that marked the end of the cycle. With August’s higher high looking like a mirror image of that setup, the analyst suggests Bitcoin could be tracing the same path once again. Bearish Technical Pressure Mounts At the time of writing, BTC was changing hands at around $108,200, well under the $110,000 level, posting a 3% weekly loss. The 50-day simple moving average sits above $116,000, acting as short-term resistance, while the longer-term 200-day SMA near $95,600 still provides a safety net for the broader trend. The relative strength index, hovering near 38, shows BTC edging close to oversold conditions. While that signals exhaustion in the sell-off, it may take renewed buying momentum to halt further losses. What’s Next for BTC? If the 50-day support fails decisively, many traders fear a repeat of the 2021 breakdown — an extended correction that could wipe out much of Bitcoin’s year-to-date gains. However, optimists argue that the structural uptrend remains intact above the 200-day average, leaving room for a rebound if institutional buyers step back in. Whether this pullback proves to be a short-lived correction…

Crypto ETF Surge Could Reshape Market, but Many Products May Fail

Crypto ETF Surge Could Reshape Market, but Many Products May Fail

The post Crypto ETF Surge Could Reshape Market, but Many Products May Fail appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A deluge of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could hit U.S. markets as early as this fall, potentially changing how both institutional and retail investors access the digital asset space. But while some see it as a turning point for mainstream adoption, others are already bracing for inevitable casualties. “The crypto ETF floodgates are set to open this fall, and investors will soon be swimming in these products,” said Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management. He believes most of the 90-plus crypto ETF applications currently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will be approved — assuming they meet the final listing requirements. Ultimately, though, said Geraci, investors — not regulators — will decide which products thrive. “The beautiful aspect of the ETF market is that it’s a meritocracy, where investors vote with their hard-earned money. The market naturally sorts out the winners from the losers, so I’m not overly concerned about there being too many crypto ETFs floating around.” To Geraci, the demand for more diverse and accessible investment options is already there — and underappreciated. “Given the initial response to futures-based and 1940 Act-structured Solana and XRP ETFs, I believe demand for 1933 Act spot products in these crypto assets is being severely underestimated – much like we saw with spot bitcoin and ether ETFs,” he said. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), managed and issued by BlackRock, became the most successful ETF launch in the history of those vehicles, now holding nearly $85 billion worth of bitcoin on behalf of investors. While the ether ETFs initially saw much smaller demand than their bitcoin counterparts, a recent surge in interest in the Ethereum blockchain’s native token has seen inflows for the group well surpass those for bitcoin ETFs. Ether ETFs have taken in nearly $10 billion since…

A Close Associate of Elon Musk Makes a $200 Million Dogecoin (DOGE) Move

The post A Close Associate of Elon Musk Makes a $200 Million Dogecoin (DOGE) Move appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Elon Musk’s personal lawyer, Alex Shapiro, has reportedly been listed as the head of a Dogecoin digital asset treasury (DVH) aiming to raise $200 million. According to Fortune, the sources shared this information on condition of anonymity. Fortune reported, “Investors are being approached for a treasury company to invest in Dogecoin.” The company reportedly plans to raise “at least” $200 million, but it’s not yet clear when DVH will launch. House of Doge, the organization behind Dogecoin, declined to comment. According to Fortune, Shapiro has previously represented celebrities like Jay-Z and Alec Baldwin. Digital asset treasuries (DVHs) have become a hot topic in the cryptocurrency world in recent weeks. Some altcoin communities have converted Nasdaq-listed companies into firms focused on accumulating assets like Solana, SUI, Toncoin, and World Liberty Financial’s WLFI governance token. Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, is at the forefront of this trend and is the world’s largest DVH with approximately $70 billion in Bitcoin. *This is not investment advice.
