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.

Morningstar PitchBook index tracks exposure to public and private assets

Morningstar PitchBook index tracks exposure to public and private assets

The post Morningstar PitchBook index tracks exposure to public and private assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., August 14, 2025. Brendan McDermid | Reuters With the desire to have private market exposure alongside publicly traded stocks gaining traction among investors, Morningstar has developed a benchmark to reflect the trend. The Morningstar PitchBook US Modern Market 100 Index, or the Modern Market 100, is the first to combine public and private equity exposure in one index, the investment research company announced Wednesday. The benchmark is meant to capture the performance of 100 of the largest U.S. companies, broken down to 90 public firms and 10 venture-backed companies, the firm said. The 90/10 skew is designed to reflect what Morningstar considers the modern asset universe, which is one where opportunities are expanding in the private markets and companies such as OpenAI and Stripe are able to stay private for longer. “Companies don’t feel the urge to go public because they can raise a lot of capital,” Sanjay Arya, head of innovation, index products, at Morningstar. “So, to ignore them, I think you’re missing out on some of the fastest, most dynamic companies out there.” The private equity universe is dwarfed by the value of publicly held companies. The U.S. public stock market is worth roughly $60 trillion, while the U.S. private equity universe is roughly $8 trillion, Arya said. However, private companies may reflect where the economy is heading. “The indexes are supposed to give you an indication about what the economy is, or the market sentiment is, or where people investors should be looking for opportunities,” Arya said. “And you can’t do that on public markets alone if a big chunk of it is outside public markets.”  The trend may become even more pronounced. Alternative asset managers notched a big win…

Cryptocurrency Giant Grayscale Requests SEC ETF Approval for Three Altcoins! Details Here

Cryptocurrency Giant Grayscale Requests SEC ETF Approval for Three Altcoins! Details Here

The post Cryptocurrency Giant Grayscale Requests SEC ETF Approval for Three Altcoins! Details Here appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto asset management company Grayscale has filed new applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requesting approval for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Hedera (HBAR), and Litecoin (LTC). Grayscale Submits Bitcoin Cash, Hedera, and Litecoin ETF Applications to the SEC The company’s S-1, S-3, and related documents provide for the conversion of existing closed-end trusts into ETFs. These ETFs are planned to be listed on NYSE Arca or Nasdaq. Grayscale used the same process to convert its Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts into ETFs in 2024. Grayscale’s Litecoin ETF application states, “This prospectus has been prepared assuming that the 19b-4 filing has been approved by the SEC or that general standards permitting listing on NYSE Arca have been adopted.” The filing comes amid growing interest in altcoin ETFs. Similar filings have been filed for assets ranging from Dogecoin to XRP, while the SEC this week postponed its decision on Grayscale’s spot Hedera ETF and Bitwise’s Dogecoin ETF. According to filings, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Cash trust had over $202 million in net assets as of June 30. Closed-end trusts typically trade at a premium or discount to net asset value, while ETFs, with their open-ended structure, create and destroy shares based on supply and demand, keeping the price closer to NAV. Grayscale’s previous lawsuit against the SEC played a crucial role in the agency’s eventual approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which began trading in January 2024, have reached over $1.2 trillion in trading volume to date. *This is not investment advice.

Altcoin Season Incoming? Key Crypto Rotation Signals Flash

Altcoin Season Incoming? Key Crypto Rotation Signals Flash

The post Altcoin Season Incoming? Key Crypto Rotation Signals Flash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Altcoin Season Index has surged to 71, raising optimism among analysts that the crypto market may be transitioning from an Ethereum (ETH ) season into a full-fledged altcoin season. Beyond the index, market watchers are also pointing to additional signals that suggest a broader altcoin rally may be on the horizon. From ETH to Low-Caps: Analysts Debate What’s Next in Market Rotation  Sponsored According to Blockchain Center data, the Altcoin Season Index has climbed sharply from 59 yesterday to 71 at press time. Typically, a reading above 75 indicates the start of an altseason, where 75% of the top 50 altcoins outperform Bitcoin over a 90-day period. Altcoin Season Index. Source: Blockchain Center  While the index has not yet crossed that threshold, its rapid climb has already caught traders’ attention. “Altcoin season is in full force, and it finally looks like the shift from ETH to all the other coins is about to happen,” an analyst posted. Moreover, Merlijn The Trader, also highlighted another major sign. In an X (formerly Twitter) post, he pointed out that Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), which tracks Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market cap, slipped below a key support level.  Merlijn emphasized that this drop is happening quickly, rather than gradually. “Every cycle, this marks the same outcome: Bitcoin cools. Alts ignite. Rotation isn’t coming. It’s already here. This is how altseasons always begin,” he added. Sponsored From a technical perspective, another analyst drew parallels to historical patterns. He outlined that in 2017, altcoins staged a breakout after considerable time in consolidation, sparking one of the most dramatic rallies in crypto’s history.  He further noted that the current setup strongly resembles that period. The structure shows familiar signs: a descending wedge, a confirmed breakout, and an ongoing accumulation phase where investors gradually position themselves.…

Sharplink Launches $1.5B Buyback as Stock Trades Below NAV

Sharplink Launches $1.5B Buyback as Stock Trades Below NAV

The post Sharplink Launches $1.5B Buyback as Stock Trades Below NAV appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sharplink launched a $1.5 billion share buyback program after its stock traded below net asset value (NAV). The firm already bought back nearly a million shares at $15.98 each, helping lift its stock 6.5% to $16.69. Sharplink holds 837,230 Ethereum, which is worth $3.59 billion. Meanwhile, Metaplanet, the Japanese hospitality group turned Bitcoin treasury company, will issue 385 million new shares to raise $1.44 billion. Proceeds will fund fresh Bitcoin purchases and expand its trading business. With over 20,000 BTC, Metaplane became a major public holder, though its stock has dropped 39% in the past month despite long-term gains.  Sharplink Moves to Buy Back $1.5B in Shares Sharplink, the second-largest Ethereum treasury company, launched a $1.5 billion share buyback program to help support its stock price, which has recently been trading below its net asset value (NAV). The company announced on Tuesday that stock repurchases are immediately accretive to shareholders when shares are undervalued relative to NAV, making this strategy a more disciplined use of capital than issuing new equity. Co-CEO Joseph Chalom explained that the market undervalues Sharplink’s business and said the firm is still focused on capital allocation strategies that directly benefit shareholders. Announcement from SharpLink The move was made amid discussions about how digital asset treasury (DAT) companies manage their equity valuations. Just last week, an NYDIG analyst argued that treasury firms should consider stock buybacks when shares fall below NAV, as many companies have seen premiums shrink in recent months. Greg Cipolaro, NYDIG’s global head of research, said that reserving some funds for repurchases could be one of the most straightforward strategies for DATs to counter undervaluation in the market. Sharplink already began executing its buyback plan with the repurchase of 939,000 common shares at an average price of $15.98. The company said these repurchases should…

Global stocks extend gains on the back of Oracle, Fed rate cut hopes

Global stocks extend gains on the back of Oracle, Fed rate cut hopes

The post Global stocks extend gains on the back of Oracle, Fed rate cut hopes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Global stocks pushed higher Wednesday morning after Oracle gave investors a reason to care, and the bond market started whispering about possible rate cuts. That’s what sent futures on the S&P 500 up 0.2%, as reported by CNBC. Nasdaq 100 futures ticked up 0.1%. But the Dow Jones Industrial Average (home to more old-school names) slipped 80 points, or 0.2%, as some traders shifted attention to fresh inflation readings coming later in the week. Before the futures moved, the cash session on Tuesday had already finished strong. All three of America’s main indexes closed at record levels. The S&P added 0.27%, Nasdaq gained 0.37%, and the Dow surged by 196.39 points, or 0.43%. That jump in the Dow came mostly from UnitedHealth, which rallied hard enough to drag the whole index with it. Asia rallies while China reports deflation and Alibaba lifts tech In Asia, the day was just as active. China’s CSI 300 ended 0.21% higher at 4,445.36. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rose 1.04%, while the tech-heavy Hang Seng Tech Index climbed 1.82%. But the economic data coming out of Beijing wasn’t as cheerful. China’s consumer price index dropped 0.4% year over year in August. That missed expectations of a 0.2% decline, based on a Reuters poll. The producer price index also fell, dropping 2.9% year over year. That matched forecasts, and was better than July’s 3.6% drop, but still points to weak demand. Hong Kong-listed Alibaba Group rose 2.1% during the session after nearly touching a four-year high. That came after Chinese robotics company X Square Robot revealed it raised $100 million in a funding round led by Alibaba Cloud. The deal caught attention fast and pushed investors back into Chinese tech. Meanwhile, Japan’s Nikkei 225 closed at a record 43,837.67, up 0.87%. The Topix index also…

Warum Solana und XRP florieren, während Ethereum 912 Millionen Dollar verliert

Warum Solana und XRP florieren, während Ethereum 912 Millionen Dollar verliert

Laut den neuesten Marktinformationen zeigen die Krypto-Fondsströme eine deutliche Wende für Ethereum mit starken Abflüssen, während Solana und XRP weiterhin das Interesse der Anleger auf sich ziehen. Die Zahlen unterstreichen eine sich wandelnde Stimmung bei digitalen Vermögenswerten, bei der ein Netzwerk um seinen Bestand kämpft, während andere stetig an Boden gewinnen. Ethereum steht unter Druck Ethereum verzeichnete wöchentliche Abflüsse von mehr als 900 Millionen US-Dollar, was bei Analysten für Stirnrunzeln sorgte. Einige verweisen auf die Vorsicht der Anleger angesichts der erwarteten politischen Veränderungen in den Vereinigten Staaten. Andere sagen, dass Bedenken hinsichtlich der Skalierung des Netzwerks und des Gebührendrucks einige Fonds davon abhalten, ihr Engagement zu erhöhen. Trotz dieses Rückschlags verzeichnet Ethereum in diesem Jahr immer noch Nettozuflüsse von über 11 Milliarden US-Dollar. Das zeigt, dass das Vertrauen nicht vollständig verschwunden ist. Dennoch verdeutlicht die jüngste Schwankung der Krypto-Fondsströme, wie schnell sich die Stimmung ändern kann, wenn die Marktsignale unsicher erscheinen. Der stetige Aufstieg von Solana Im Gegensatz dazu verzeichnet Solana weiterhin konstante Zuflüsse. Mit einem Zuwachs von 16 Millionen US-Dollar in der vergangenen Woche ist dies die 21. Woche in Folge mit positiver Entwicklung. Viele sehen darin ein frühes Anzeichen für institutionelles Interesse, das möglicherweise mit langfristigen Erwartungen an börsengehandelte Produkte zusammenhängt. „Solana beginnt, sich als Anlage mit breiter Anziehungskraft zu behaupten“, bemerkte ein Marktstratege. Die anhaltend positiven Zahlen bei den Krypto-Fondsströmen deuten darauf hin, dass Investoren nach Alternativen zur Dominanz von Ethereum suchen. XRP hält sein Tempo XRP verzeichnete ebenfalls wöchentliche Zuflüsse in Höhe von 14 Millionen US-Dollar, wodurch sich der Jahresgesamtbetrag auf über 1,2 Milliarden US-Dollar belief. Rechtliche Klarheit und die zunehmende Nutzung in Zahlungsnetzwerken könnten dabei die wichtigsten Treiber sein. Im Gegensatz zu Ethereum zeigt die Marktbasis von XRP selbst bei allgemeinen Verkaufswellen Widerstandsfähigkeit. Diese Zuflüsse bestätigen die Annahme, dass XRP seine Rolle im Überweisungs- und Abwicklungssektor festigt. Für Anleger, die die Krypto-Fondsströme verfolgen, ist XRP zu einem zuverlässigen Barometer für die Stimmung institutioneller Anleger geworden. Regionale Trends Die Vereinigten Staaten führten die Woche mit Rücknahmen in Höhe von 440 Millionen US-Dollar an, aber in Europa und Asien sah es anders aus. Deutschland verzeichnete Zuflüsse von über 85 Millionen US-Dollar, während Hongkong und Brasilien moderate positive Zahlen aufwiesen. Diese Unterschiede zeigen regionale Unterschiede in der Herangehensweise der Anleger an digitale Vermögenswerte, ein Faktor, der bei den zukünftigen Krypto-Fondsströmen zu beobachten sein wird. Tabelle: Wochenübersicht der Fondsströme Vermögenswert Wöchentlicher Strom Seit Jahresbeginn 2025 Ethereum –$912Mio. USD Abfluss +$11.2Mrd. USD Zufluss Solana +$16Mio. USD Zufluss +$1.16Mrd. USD Zufluss XRP +$14Mio. USD Zufluss +$1.22Mrd. USD Zufluss Market –$352Mio. USD insgesamt — Fazit Basierend auf den neuesten Untersuchungen zeigen die Krypto-Fondsströme, dass Ethereum kurzfristig unter Druck steht, während Solana und XRP stetige Zuflüsse verzeichnen. Der Markt bleibt gespalten, wobei sich US-Investoren zurückziehen und andere Regionen sich engagieren. Für Händler und Institutionen sind diese Bewegungen ein Hinweis darauf, dass eine Diversifizierung über mehrere Vermögenswerte hinweg lohnender sein kann als sich auf eine einzige Kette zu verlassen. Zusammenfassung Die Krypto-Fondsströme zeigen eine gemischte Woche für digitale Vermögenswerte. Ethereum verzeichnete Abflüsse in Höhe von 912 Millionen US-Dollar, was zu Bedenken hinsichtlich der Stimmung führte, während Solana die 21. Woche in Folge Zuflüsse verzeichnete und XRP 14 Millionen US-Dollar hinzufügte. Regionale Daten zeigten, dass die USA bei den Abflüssen führend waren, während Deutschland und Asien Mittel hinzufügten. Die Daten deuten darauf hin, dass die Diversifizierung über verschiedene Vermögenswerte hinweg immer wichtiger wird, da globale Krypto-Investoren neue Risiken und Chancen abwägen.

Glossar der wichtigsten Begriffe Krypto-Fondsströme: Die Bewegung von Geldern in und aus Kryptowährungsfonds. Zuflüsse: Geld, das in einen Vermögenswert oder Markt fließt. Abflüsse: Geld, das aus einem Vermögenswert oder Markt abgezogen wird. ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund): Ein Fonds, der einen Index oder Vermögenswert nachbildet und wie eine Aktie an Börsen gehandelt wird. Häufig gestellte Fragen zu Krypto-Fondsströmen 1: Was sind Krypto-Fondsströme? Sie verfolgen die Nettobewegung von Geld in oder aus Kryptowährungs-Anlageprodukten. 2: Warum gab es bei Ethereum so große Abflüsse? Analysten vermuten, dass die Vorsicht der Anleger mit politischen Veränderungen in den USA und Problemen bei der Netzwerkskalierung zusammenhängt. 3: Warum sind die Zuflüsse bei Solana konstant? Die institutionelle Nachfrage und der Optimismus hinsichtlich künftiger ETF-Zulassungen machen Solana weiterhin attraktiv. 4: Wie profitiert XRP von den Zuflüssen? Die rechtliche Klarheit von XRP und seine wachsende Bedeutung im Zahlungsverkehr tragen dazu bei, das Vertrauen der Anleger aufrechtzuerhalten.   Read More: Warum Solana und XRP florieren, während Ethereum 912 Millionen Dollar verliert">Warum Solana und XRP florieren, während Ethereum 912 Millionen Dollar verliert
