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.

Bitcoin fell below 110,000, 900 million funds were liquidated, is the September curse coming early?

By BitpushNews Crypto market volatility intensified on Monday. Bitcoin briefly dipped below $110,000, hitting a low of $109,324, its lowest point since early July. Ethereum also briefly fell below $4,400, a 24-hour drop of nearly 8%. This decline triggered massive liquidations across the market: According to CoinGlass data, as of this writing, 24-hour liquidations exceeded $900 million, with Ethereum longs losing approximately $322 million and Bitcoin longs $207 million. The market chain reaction was rapid, and mainstream altcoins were under pressure across the board: Solana plummeted by more than 8% in a single day, XRP fell by 6%, and small and medium-sized market capitalization tokens such as PENDLE, LDO, and PENGU recorded double-digit declines, with a single-day drop of as much as 13%. Historical Patterns: The September Curse Investors’ caution is not without reason. Statistics from CoinGlass show that September was one of the worst performing months for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The chart above compares the actual rise and fall of BTC and ETH in September from 2017 to 2024. It can be seen that: BTC performed negatively in September in most years, with only 2023 (+3.91%) and 2024 (+7.29%) recording increases. ETH’s September decline is usually larger, with 2017 (–21.65%), 2020 (–17.08%), and 2022 (–14.49%) all significantly underperforming BTC. Only in 2019 (ETH +5.72% vs BTC –13.38%), 2023 and 2024 did ETH perform better. This "September curse" has appeared in every bull market cycle. In 2013, 2017, and 2021, Bitcoin experienced a sharp pullback in September after a strong rebound in the summer. Analyst view: Short-term trend reversal Renowned analyst Benjamin Cowen noted that strong performances in July and August often reverse in September, and Bitcoin is likely to fall to its bull market support band near $110,000. He also warned that Ethereum could briefly reach a new high before falling 20-30%, and altcoins could even see declines of 30-50%. Doctor Profit, another active market analyst, offered a more pessimistic assessment from a macro and psychological perspective. He believes the Fed's September rate cut is more of a trigger for uncertainty than a positive development. Unlike the "soft landing" rate cut in 2024, this one could be a true "major turning point," triggering a simultaneous correction in both the stock and crypto markets. Regarding price, he also emphasized that the CME gap between 93k and 95k still exists on the BTC chart, where a significant amount of liquidity is concentrated, while retail investors generally enter positions in the 110k to 120k range or even higher. To flush out these "weak hands," the price must fall into their "maximum pain point range." In his strategy, he said he has gradually reduced his positions in BTC and ETH spot and turned to short-term short positions. The latest fund flow data suggests that the enthusiasm for ETFs is cooling. According to SoSoValue, last week, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.17 billion in outflows, the second-largest weekly net outflow on record; spot Ethereum ETFs saw $237.7 million in outflows, the third-largest on record. This suggests that institutional funds are temporarily shifting to a wait-and-see approach, weakening support for the spot market. On-chain data also reveals structural signals. Glassnode notes that all groups of Bitcoin holders have "collectively entered the distribution phase," a consistent pattern that highlights widespread selling pressure in the market. Ethereum, after hitting a new high of $4,946, retreated, with the MVRV indicator rising to 2.15, meaning the average investor holds over 2x unrealized gains. Historically, this level is similar to December 2020 and March 2024, both of which preceded significant volatility and profit-taking. Macroeconomic factors: The Federal Reserve and interest rate risk Macroeconomic uncertainty has further exacerbated market tensions. Last Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell hinted at a possible rate cut in September, spurring market optimism. However, both Cowen and Doctor Profit cautioned that rate cuts are not necessarily positive and could actually lead to an increase in long-term Treasury yields, suppressing risk assets. This is similar to the situation in September 2023, when a rate cut marked a low in the bond market, followed by a surge in yields. Furthermore, Benjamin Cowen noted that recent Producer Price Index (PPI) data showed inflation "running hotter than expected," undoubtedly adding additional pressure to the market. Without fully easing inflationary pressures, a Fed policy shift could trigger renewed market volatility. Outlook and Conclusion Looking at historical patterns, analyst opinions, and the macro environment, we can see that September put several pressures on the crypto market: Seasonal downturn – September historically averages significant losses; Macro uncertainty – the Fed’s policy could become a watershed moment for the market; Imbalanced capital structure - institutional funds outflow, retail investors chasing high prices; On-chain selling pressure intensifies - all coin holding groups enter distribution, and whale transactions disrupt the market. Although Cowen and Doctor Profit have different views on the extent of the adjustment, the consensus is that September is not the time for the bull market to turn upward, but a test that must be faced. However, from a longer-term perspective, this cleansing may also be a necessary step for the bull market to continue. The market needs to clear out overheated positions in the "greatest pain points" to make room for the next round of gains. If the cleansing is thorough, BTC may still hit new highs in subsequent cycles, and ETH's long-term upward trend will not be altered.

Liquidity and economic growth can keep fueling the rally.

A speech from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at the Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium flagged concerns over the labor market and ignited hopes for interest rate cuts. Powell commented that policy is “in restrictive territory” and that “the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance” in a nod to weakness in the July payrolls report and downward revisions to job growth in prior months. The comments came just two days following the minutes of the Fed’s most recent rate-setting meeting, which took place before the July payrolls report was released. The minutes noted that the majority of FOMC members saw upside to inflation outweighing employment risk. The chart below shows prices paid (orange line) from a business survey, which tends to lead PCE inflation (blue line). The sudden pivot to concerns over the labor market is sparking hopes that rate cuts will resume. After cutting rates by 1.0% at the end of last year, the Fed has been on hold for eight months. Odds for a 0.25% rate cut at the next meeting in September jumped back to 90% following Powell’s comments. But hopes for a prolonged cutting cycle could be misplaced. In the same speech, Powell noted that the Fed’s policy framework of “flexible average inflation targeting” would be scrapped. That’s where the Fed tolerated an overshoot of its 2% inflation target if it meant supporting the labor market. That’s interesting given that core consumer inflation is running at 3.1% and looks poised to move higher. If abandoning average inflation targeting means the Fed is becoming less tolerant of inflation above the 2% target, then you wouldn’t expect a dovish tone out of the Fed. That will make upcoming inflation and payrolls reports ahead of September’s rate-setting meeting crucial datapoints for the Fed. This week, let’s look at why reducing rates could ignite the “risk-on” trade. We’ll also look at metrics pointing to a huge rebound in the average stock and why a looming commodities breakout could be the next warning on the inflation outlook. The Chart Report Liquidity and overall financial conditions play a key role in supporting speculative areas of the capital markets including stocks. Liquidity along with the cost and availability of credit are positively correlated with economic activity, and a strong economy is critical to support the corporate earnings outlook. The prospect of the Fed resuming its easing cycle while conditions are already loose is a massive tailwind for all sorts of risk assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies. The chart below shows a measure of financial conditions from the Chicago Fed district, where below zero points to looser than average conditions. Loose financial conditions are positively correlated to economic growth, and rate cuts could boost the economy at a time when growth is likely stronger than feared. While much has been made of the weak July payrolls report, other estimates of economic activity are holding up. The most recent evidence comes from S&P Global’s Flash US PMI estimate. The PMI is built off a survey of senior executives, with a reading above 50 signaling expansion while below 50 indicates contracting activity. The composite PMI came in at 55.4 which is consistent with 2.5% annualized GDP growth. The chart below breaks down activity between the manufacturing (blue line) and services (orange line) sector. While services is holding up, manufacturing activity is seeing a bounce back following the drop around the start of the trade war. A combination of falling interest rates and positive economic outlook should be driving outperformance in the average stock, and breadth metrics are confirming. While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have led the way to new record highs, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and average stock in the S&P 500 (i.e. the equal-weight RSP ETF) are moving to new highs last week. Surging breadth is also showing up in advance/decline indicators. On Friday following Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, up volume on the NYSE as a percent of all volume was over 90%. The NYSE advance/decline ratio surged to 10/1 (chart below), which is the third highest reading on the year. If the Fed resumes the rate-cutting cycle, then small-caps and the average stock in general could see a big boost. Small-caps get more of their revenues and earnings from the domestic economy, where falling rates could help the growth outlook. And approximately 33% of companies in the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks are financed with floating rate debt compared to just 6% in the S&P 500. Historically, small-caps have outperformed both mid- and large-caps during the three-, six-, and 12-month periods when the Fed cuts rates using data going back to the 1950s (chart below). While the Fed is shifting focus toward risks facing the labor market, the risk of accelerating inflation continues facing investors. Core CPI has moved higher over the past two months, and various leading indicators of inflation point to further rising price levels ahead. Commodities in general have a high inflation beta, and rising inflation expectations could happen alongside a breakout in broad commodity indexes and ETFs. The chart below plots an equal weight commodity index against 10-year inflation breakeven rates. A rally in commodity prices could present another tailwind for rising inflation (and headache for central bankers).Chart from Tavi Costa on X Heard in the Hub The Traders Hub features live trade alerts, market update videos, and other educational content for members.

Trump Fires Fed Governor Cook Over Mortgage Fraud Allegations

The post Trump Fires Fed Governor Cook Over Mortgage Fraud Allegations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US President Donald Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday, marking an unprecedented escalation in his battle with the central bank. The dismissal represents the first time a president has ousted a Fed governor in the institution’s 111-year history. Trump cited allegations of mortgage fraud against Cook as grounds for removal, though she has not been charged with wrongdoing. Central Bank Independence Under Fire The firing stems from accusations by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte that Cook falsified mortgage documents. The Justice Department has indicated it will investigate these claims. Cook previously stated she would not be “bullied” into resigning over allegations made on social media. Trump’s letter to Cook questioned her “integrity” and “trustworthiness as a financial regulator.” The president claimed Cook’s alleged conduct exhibited “gross negligence in financial transactions.” Legal experts remain divided on whether Trump can remove Fed governors without a clear statutory cause. Markets reacted negatively to the announcement, with the dollar index falling 0.3% immediately after the news. Treasury yields and S&P 500 futures also declined. The unprecedented move raises questions about central bank independence, a cornerstone of effective monetary policy. Implications for Monetary Policy Cook’s removal allows Trump to reshape the Fed’s seven-member board. Another Biden appointee, Adriana Kugler, has already announced plans to vacate her position early, which could give Trump a four-person majority on the board. The timing is significant as the Fed prepares for its September 16-17 policy meeting. Chair Jerome Powell recently signaled potential rate cuts due to labor market concerns. Trump has consistently criticized the Fed for maintaining high interest rates. Cook became the first Black woman on the Fed’s Board of Governors in 2022. Her term was scheduled to run until 2038. It remains unclear whether she will challenge the dismissal in court. The…

Canary Capital Files for ‘American-Made’ Crypto ETF Focused on U.S. Coins

The post Canary Capital Files for ‘American-Made’ Crypto ETF Focused on U.S. Coins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Canary Capital has filed a Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch the Canary American-Made Crypto ETF, a spot fund that will invest solely in digital assets with strong domestic ties—those created in the United States, predominantly mined here or operated mainly from the country. The proposed vehicle, expected to list on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker MRCA, is designed to track the Made-in-America Blockchain Index and could also generate additional income by participating in on-chain validation activities such as staking. According to the filing, U.S.-origin cryptocurrencies collectively represent more than $520 billion in market value, with projects such as XRP, Solana and Cardano often cited as candidates that meet the fund’s criteria. By limiting exposure to coins rooted in U.S. development and infrastructure, Canary aims to tap demand from investors seeking thematic exposure that aligns with domestic technology and regulatory frameworks. The application adds to a flood of increasingly specialized crypto ETF proposals that has followed this year’s approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ether funds. “Get ready for ETFs to try every combination imaginable,” Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said, noting that issuers are racing to differentiate products as they await the SEC’s next window for decisions, expected in the fourth quarter. Canary Capital also lodged separate filings for a Staked Injective ETF and a Trump Coin ETF; the SEC on Monday opened a public comment period on the Injective proposal, indicating preliminary review is under way. No timeline was given for decisions on any of the three products. This is an AI-generated article powered by DeepNewz, curated by The Defiant.

US digital asset investment firm Canary Capital Group has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch the Canary American-Made Crypto ETF (MRCA). According to a Friday filing, the proposed fund would track an index of cryptocurrencies created, mined or primarily operated in the United States, with shares slated to trade on Cboe BZX under the ticker MRCA. The trust also plans to stake its proof-of-stake holdings through third-party providers, adding rewards to its net asset value. The Made-in-America Blockchain Index will admit only assets that meet strict criteria set by an oversight committee. Tokens must be eligible for custody with a regulated US trust or bank, maintain minimum liquidity, and trade on multiple established venues. Read more
