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.

Ethereum ETF Sees $580M Outflows Ahead of Powell Speech

Ethereum ETF Sees $580M Outflows Ahead of Powell Speech

The post Ethereum ETF Sees $580M Outflows Ahead of Powell Speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US-traded spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETF) experienced massive outflows totaling $578 million over three trading days from Aug. 18 to Aug. 21. However, macroeconomic uncertainty rather than declining institutional interest is likely the driver for the outflows. As a result, ETH’s price has fundamentals to keep its upward movement, though it is still vulnerable to macroeconomic developments. Macro Backdrop Drives Risk-Off Sentiment Farside Investors data showed that Aug. 19 recorded the second-largest single-day outflows in Ethereum ETF history at $429.6 million. The outflow was exceeded only by the $465.1 million exodus recorded on Aug. 4 during a broader market correction. The outflows coincide with heightened market volatility as investors position defensively ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech scheduled for Aug. 22. Analysts noted that communication uncertainty from the Fed typically triggers profit-taking as traders de-risk positions ahead of major policy announcements. Economic data adds to the uncertainty building. Producer Price Index figures exceeded forecasts, with July producer prices jumping 0.9% versus the anticipated 0.2% increase. The hotter-than-expected inflation data raised questions about the persistence of price pressures and the Fed’s ability to implement aggressive rate cuts. Further, President Donald Trump’s unveiling of modified “reciprocal” tariffs ranging between 10% and 41% on dozens of countries added additional uncertainty. According to FOMC minutes published on Aug. 20, the Fed is still concerned that the tariffs’ shock might be stronger than the current effects. Institutional Interest Signals Robustness Despite the substantial outflows, Ethereum ETF have maintained net positive flows of approximately $2.1 billion throughout August. Further, the ETFs broke the outflow streak with $287.6 million of positive flows in Aug. 21. The positive flows relate to a backdrop of continued strong institutional demand for Ethereum exposure.

$70B DeFi Protocol Aave Launches on Aptos Amid Expansion

$70B DeFi Protocol Aave Launches on Aptos Amid Expansion

The post $70B DeFi Protocol Aave Launches on Aptos Amid Expansion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol with $70 billion in net deposits, has launched on Aptos, a layer-1 blockchain founded by former Meta employees. The move may deepen stablecoin and liquid staking token liquidity on the blockchain, two asset classes subject to regulation in 2025. According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, Aave will support four coins native to the blockchain at launch: stablecoins USDC (USDC) and USDt (USDT), Aptos (APT), and Ethena Staked USDe (sUSDe). The Aptos Foundation will provide users with rewards and liquidity incentives to promote the use of Aave on the Aptos blockchain. The arrival of Aave could deepen stablecoin liquidity on the blockchain, as the fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies are experiencing a breakthrough and are one of the industry’s most-discussed use cases. On Aptos, the stablecoin market cap has surged in 2025, jumping to $1.27 billion on Thursday from $627.8 million on Jan. 1. Stablecoin market cap on Aptos. Source: DefiLlama The launch comes as Aave positions itself to take advantage of “new collateral markets,” such as liquid staking tokens (LSTs). LSTs are a type of token given to users who stake assets, contributing to network security. These tokens can be used for DeFi activities such as lending or trading. “By expanding to Aptos, Aave increases access to lending, borrowing, and savings to a new, fast-growing community,” an Aave spokesperson told Cointelegraph. Currently, Aptos has a total value locked of $857 million, according to DefiLlama. Aave enters an ecosystem with few DeFi protocol competitors. Of the top five protocols listed by DefiLlama, only one has a total value locked of over $1 billion: PancakeSwap at $2.1 billion.

The market holds its breath as the world watches Powell's speech at Jackson Hole

The market holds its breath as the world watches Powell's speech at Jackson Hole

Key Highlights: Event focus: The Jackson Hole economic policy symposium will be held from August 21 to 23, 2025, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will speak at 14:00 GMT on Friday. Rate cut expectations: The market expects an 83% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut on September 17, down from 94% last week. Dollar impact: Lower interest rates tend to weaken the dollar and boost risky assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies. Powell's tone matters: a dovish Powell could drive a breakout in EUR/USD; a hawkish tone could trigger profit-taking. EUR/USD Setup: The EUR/USD pair has rallied 13% year to date and is trading near 1.168, just below the key resistance level of 1.182. Neutral technicals: Flat MACD and RSI at 50 reflect market indecision ahead of Powell’s speech. Macro Background The Jackson Hole Symposium, hosted annually by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Wyoming, has become one of the most anticipated macroeconomic events of the year. While a gathering of global central bankers, economists, and academics gathers, this year's market focus is on one figure: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who will deliver a speech at 2:00 PM GMT on Friday. The stakes are high. The Fed will announce its next interest rate decision on September 17th, and investors are eager for forward guidance. US interest rates are currently at 4.5%, and the market is pricing in an 83% chance of a cut to 4.25%. Just a week ago, that probability was as high as 94%, highlighting the heightened uncertainty. Why is this important for traders? Lower interest rates reduce the appeal of US dollar savings and US Treasury yields. This typically leads to capital flows into riskier assets such as technology stocks, cryptocurrencies, and non-US currencies like the euro, yen, and franc. Conversely, higher interest rates can boost the US dollar and put pressure on stocks and commodities. Beyond interest rates, the Jackson Hole symposium is likely to address broader macro themes: Trade policy: Continued tariff uncertainty involving Europe, Japan, and China Geopolitics: US, Russia hold peace talks on Ukraine Labor market: The employment situation is weak, with the latest non-farm payroll data showing a slowdown in hiring and an increase in the unemployment rate. Over the past few years, the market has reacted strongly to Powell's comments: On August 26, 2022, Powell delivered a hawkish speech, hinting at a rate hike. The US dollar surged, and the S&P 500 index sold off. Source: TradingView On August 23, 2024, Powell delivered dovish remarks, triggering a rise in stock markets and a general decline in the US dollar. Source: TradingView Given the current level of uncertainty, another outsized move could occur this Friday. Technical analysis: EUR/USD The EUR/USD pair is a key barometer of sentiment toward the US dollar. When the dollar weakens, the EUR/USD ratio tends to rise, and vice versa. So far in 2025, EUR/USD has risen 13%, supported by expectations of easing US monetary policy and a more proactive fiscal stance in the Eurozone. Increased military investment across the EU, coupled with tariff-driven supply chain shifts, has also supported the euro. Currently, the pair is trading around 1.168, having peaked at 1.182 on July 1st. The short-term outlook depends largely on Powell's tone: a dovish scenario: a break above 1.182 could quickly target the psychological 1.2 level. If 1.2 is broken, the next targets include the May 2021 high of 1.227 and the January 2021 peak of 1.235. Hawkish scenario: The dollar could strengthen if Powell signals no immediate rate cut. A break below 1.16 could see a drop towards 1.14, which was a key support level earlier this year. The momentum indicator currently has no clear bias: An RSI of 50 indicates a neutral stance, often the “calm before the storm.” The MACD is flat with no crossover or momentum divergence, confirming indecision. For the RSI to reach overbought or oversold levels, EUR/USD would need a strong move, as the RSI indicator is neutral at 50. On the daily chart, resistance lies precisely at 70. Therefore, to reclaim this level, EUR/USD would likely need to break through the resistance level of 1.182 from July 1st. On the daily chart, EUR/USD's move down to RSI 30 was even more powerful, well below 1.14. From a technical perspective, a decline to 1.10 is possible. This technical picture aligns with fundamental uncertainty, as traders remain on the sidelines awaiting signals. Traders should also note the following: Volatility Setup: The probability of a sharp breakout increases due to narrow technical range and known macro catalysts. Leverage sensitivity: EUR/USD trading often comes with leverage, and even small fluctuations can result in high profits (or high risks), depending on the position size. Profit-taking risk: A surprising hawkish move could trigger broad-based buying of the dollar and liquidate EUR/USD longs that profited earlier this year. Source: TradingView Jackson Hole compared to previous years This year is unique in the divergence between data and market sentiment. Inflation is softening and the job market is cooling, which typically suggests more accommodative policy. However, geopolitical risks and trade frictions are fueling inflationary pressures, and the Fed may be reluctant to cut rates too quickly. This is why Powell's policy guidance on Friday is crucial. Even subtle hints from the Fed regarding its views on tariffs, unemployment, and/or global economic growth could influence interest rate expectations for the rest of the year. The market is currently divided among the following possibilities: Two rate cuts before the end of the year brought the Fed's interest rate down to 4.0%. Three rate cuts will bring the interest rate to 3.75% by 2025 Only cut rates once if inflation and/or geopolitics worsen The more dovish Powell's comments are, the more likely the dollar will weaken. But if he emphasizes risk and patience, traders may flock back to the dollar. in conclusion The Jackson Hole Symposium is always important, but this year it could be decisive for the US dollar and global markets. Traders should note: Powell's speech at 14:00 GMT on Friday EUR/USD breaks through 1.182 or falls below 1.16 Changes in the probability of a September rate cut Cross-asset reaction, particularly cryptocurrencies, stocks, and gold Positioning remains underweight as momentum indicators are neutral. However, volatility could surge once Powell speaks. Traders should be prepared for range breaks, dollar volatility, and headline-driven price action, which could set the tone for the remainder of 2025.

U.S. Stock Index Futures Display V-Shaped Recovery Amid Crypto Volatility

U.S. Stock Index Futures Display V-Shaped Recovery Amid Crypto Volatility

The post U.S. Stock Index Futures Display V-Shaped Recovery Amid Crypto Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: U.S. stock index futures show V-shaped recovery on August 22, 2025. No direct primary-source commentaries reference this move. Crypto-exposed equities report significant activity and volatility. On August 22, 2025, U.S. stock market futures exhibited a notable “V-shaped” recovery, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures all turning positive. This shift signals potential investor confidence and may influence related cryptocurrency markets, including notable crypto-exposed equities like BNB Treasury Company and recently delisted Windtree Therapeutics. U.S. Futures Surge with Crypto-Equities Activity Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, amplified the market’s momentum by reallocating shares within the Robinhood platform, investing approximately $16.22 million. She stated, “Ark Invest added a total of 150,908 shares of Robinhood stock yesterday, which is approximately worth $16.22 million based on the closing price.” Market reactions varied across sectors. President Trump criticized Federal Reserve policy, claiming it hindered mortgage procurement—a notable external commentary amid the recovery. He remarked, “Can someone please tell Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell that his actions are severely damaging the real estate industry? People are unable to get mortgages because of him.” Mixed Reactions Amid Federal Policy Criticism Did you know? V-shaped recoveries in U.S. stock markets often correlate with key economic announcements, impacting crypto-equities.

Fed Rate Cut Confidence Softens, Crypto Market Eyes This Key Data

Fed Rate Cut Confidence Softens, Crypto Market Eyes This Key Data

The post Fed Rate Cut Confidence Softens, Crypto Market Eyes This Key Data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: Crypto market volatility continues as the prediction market suggests confidence of institutions and traders on Fed rate cuts in September softens. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation data becomes the key decider for the September Fed rate cut. Bitcoin price is trading near support at $112k, but analysts suggest buying at dips. Institutions and traders are losing confidence in the U.S. Federal Reserve resuming interest rate cuts in September. The recent FOMC Minutes revealed that most committee members consider inflation risks outweighing labor market weakness, with the PPI inflation rising a massive 0.9% in a month. The crypto market traders turned cautious and await the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation data. Bitcoin price has since tumbled more than 10% to touch $112k. Crypto Market News: September Fed Rate Cut Doubts Resurface The September 17 FOMC meeting remains the most significant event for global markets, with the FOMC Minutes failing to provide cues on the crypto market direction. Prediction markets, including Kalshi, data showed 25 bps rate cut bets falling and the Fed maintaining rates bet rising. Notably, 68% now expect a 25 bps Fed rate cut in September, but it’s trending down. Meanwhile, 34% people anticipate no change in the Fed funds rate.

It dropped from a 99% probability, with traders now estimating odds of two rate cuts this year instead of three. Crypto Market Awaits US PCE…
