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.

U.S. stock market hits its most expensive valuation in history

U.S. stock market hits its most expensive valuation in history

The post U.S. stock market hits its most expensive valuation in history appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.S. stock market reached its most expensive valuation ever, rebounding strongly from the early spring tariff blow. The NASDAQ Composite, for instance, has surged over 40% since April 8, extending a decade-long bull market in growth stocks driven by cloud computing and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Equity markets are now trading at valuation levels surpassing even those of the 1999 Dot-Com Bubble and the 1929 rally leading up to the Great Depression. JUST IN 🚨: U.S. Stock Market hits its most expensive valuation in history, surpassing the Dot Com Bubble and the run-up to the Great Depression 🤯 pic.twitter.com/Ek448TuUwK — Barchart (@Barchart) August 25, 2025 Record stock market valuation levels Extreme valuations such as these are rare and often precede periods of turbulence, as evidenced by the aforementioned Great Depressio and NASDAQ falling three consecutive years and ultimately plunging 78% from its March 2000 peak following the Dot-Com Boom.  The central question is thus whether the momentum signals the start of another bubble or whether we might be witnessing a new equilibrium in an economy increasingly defined by shifts in the technology sector. Indeed, large growth tech stocks such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) have not only outpaced small caps and value stocks, but their performance relative to the S&P 500 (SPX) is also vastly higher than it was in the late ‘90s.  Market concentration is also higher than in previous cycles, as the “Magnificent Seven” stocks now command record weight in indexes.  Of course, it can also be argued that the record numbers are driven by exponentially larger earnings. Nvidia, for example, has seen unprecedented gains, making its stock less reliant on hype than many Dot-Com era favorites.

JPMorgan Says Fed Won’t Cut Interest Rates in September, Explains Why!

JPMorgan Says Fed Won’t Cut Interest Rates in September, Explains Why!

The post JPMorgan Says Fed Won’t Cut Interest Rates in September, Explains Why! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It approached 90% after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell delivered moderate remarks at the Jackson Hole meeting on Friday. While the market expects the Fed to make its first interest rate cut of 2025 in September, JPMorganChase said in a recent report that the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates in September. In his Jackson Hole speech, Powell opened the door to the possibility of a rate cut, saying, “It’s time to change the policy stance.” But JPMorganChase expects the Fed to delay a rate cut at its September FOMC meeting, despite Powell signaling a return to a rate cut on Friday. JP Morgan economist Bruce Kasman predicted that the Fed will face serious infighting over the interest rate cut at its September meeting. Kasman stated that if the Fed cuts interest rates early and inflation rises again, it will be more difficult to stop it. “It will be difficult to achieve unanimity at the September meeting, and I anticipate that Chairman Powell will make the final decision.” Kasman cited the strengthening of the number of dovish members and moderate voices within the Fed as reasons for this, and the decrease in the likelihood of a unanimous decision after moderate Stephen Miran joined the committee in place of Adriana Kugler. JPMorgan added that rising inflation risks make a sudden cut unlikely. *This is not investment advice. Follow our Telegram and Twitter account now for exclusive news, analytics and on-chain data!

Global stocks slow down as BTC, ETH, dollar, and gold cool off

Global stocks slow down as BTC, ETH, dollar, and gold cool off

The post Global stocks slow down as BTC, ETH, dollar, and gold cool off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Global stocks cooled off sharply on Monday as investors paused after Friday’s blowout rally and turned their focus to Nvidia’s earnings. U.S. futures for the Dow dropped by 99 points, or 0.2%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 also edged down 0.2% and 0.3% respectively, ending the brief euphoria from last week. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had exploded by 846.24 points, or 1.89%, to close at 45,631.74. The S&P 500 climbed 1.52% to 6,466.91, coming within three points of a new all-time high. The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.88% to finish at 21,496.53, pulled up by tech optimism just days ahead of Nvidia’s numbers. But crypto wasn’t feeling the love, as Ether tumbled by 5% to $4,588 after hitting a new all-time high of $4,954 just yesterday, following a breakout on Friday that pushed it past its 2021 peak. Bitcoin also lost steam, slipping by over 1% to $111,501. Over the weekend, the OG crypto hit a low of $110,779.01, its weakest level since July 10, after hitting a new all-time high of $124,496 on August 13. Both major cryptos were dragged down after traders digested comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who said rate cuts were likely coming. That sent risk-on assets soaring briefly, but also triggered liquidations. Data from CoinGlass showed more than $245 million in long positions on Ether and $175 million in long Bitcoin bets were wiped out in the past 24 hours. Asia rallies on tech gains as crypto fades While crypto corrected, Asian stocks had no interest in slowing down. Mainland China’s CSI 300 rose 2.08%, ending the day at 4,469.22. That made it four straight sessions of gains and marked a 37-month high earlier in the day. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index climbed 1.94% to 25,829.91, nearing a four-year peak.…

Bitcoin Price Drops Below $112,000 As Metaplanet Announces To Buy $11.7M Worth Of Bitcoin

Bitcoin Price Drops Below $112,000 As Metaplanet Announces To Buy $11.7M Worth Of Bitcoin

The post Bitcoin Price Drops Below $112,000 As Metaplanet Announces To Buy $11.7M Worth Of Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s price retreated below $112,000 as Japan’s Metaplanet announced the purchase of an additional 103 BTC worth approximately $11.7 million, bringing its total holdings to 18,991 BTC valued at roughly $2.2 billion. The announcement comes as FTSE Russell confirmed Metaplanet’s inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index, upgrading the company from small-cap to mid-cap status in its September 2025 semi-annual review. The index inclusion, set to take effect after market close on September 19, marks a significant milestone for corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies. “Another important milestone on our journey as Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury company,” Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich wrote on X (formerly Twitter). The company’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC. The latest purchase was partially funded through the exercise of 49,000 stock acquisition rights between August 18-22, which added 4.9 million shares to the company’s total outstanding shares, now reaching 722 million. This financing mechanism, while diluting existing shareholders, enables continued Bitcoin accumulation without depleting cash reserves. Metaplanet’s inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index creates a regulated route for BTC exposure and paves the way for other Bitcoin-forward companies to join major benchmarks. Passive flows into the FTSE indices could channel institutional capital into Metaplanet, offering indirect Bitcoin exposure. The company’s transformation from a traditional hotel group to Asia’s most active Bitcoin treasury firm reflects a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption. In the past month alone, five public companies have announced significant Bitcoin treasury initiatives, including Ming Shing Group’s $483 million purchase and KindlyMD’s $679 million acquisition. The integration of Bitcoin-heavy companies into traditional equity indices presents new challenges for institutional investors. While passive inflows through index inclusion could boost liquidity and long-term stability, large movements in Bitcoin prices could create unexpected volatility for passive investors.

Singapore inflation hits the lowest level in 4 months

Singapore inflation hits the lowest level in 4 months

The post Singapore inflation hits the lowest level in 4 months appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Singapore’s core and overall inflation rates fell sharply in July, coming in below analysts’ expectations after holding steady in June. Core inflation, which excludes housing and private transport costs, eased to 0.5%, while overall inflation dipped from 0.8% in June to 0.6%. Despite these notable declines, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) maintained their existing forecasts, cautioning that the economic outlook remains uncertain. MTI and MAS maintain their 2025 inflation prediction unchanged  Core inflation’s decrease to 0.5% resulted from lower prices set for retail items and other goods in addition to forms of energy, such as gas and electricity, the Singapore Department of Statistics said. The decrease in inflation caught analysts, particularly those from the private sector, by surprise as they had predicted that it would remain constant from June’s inflation rate of 0.6%. Regarding the consumer price index (CPI), core CPI recorded a drop of 0.1% while the total CPI dropped by 0.4% when considering monthly shifts. Despite the above inflation rate fluctuations, MTI and MAS kept their 2025 earlier prediction for the whole financial year unchanged: core inflation prediction ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% applying for both core and overall inflation. During their research, however, they discovered the presence of positive and negative risks in the prospect of the future inflation outlook. The agencies noted that geopolitical developments could increase inflation if they trigger a rise in imported energy and shipping costs. On the other hand, slower-than-expected global or domestic growth could keep core inflation subdued for a period. After adjusting policy in January and April, MAS opted on July 30 to maintain its current settings. MTI and MAS expect imported inflation in Singapore to remain moderate, supported by falling global oil prices and only modest increases in food costs…

Bitcoin and Ethereum move apart, this $1T metric can aid BTC

Bitcoin and Ethereum move apart, this $1T metric can aid BTC

The post Bitcoin and Ethereum move apart, this $1T metric can aid BTC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin slipped backed to the $112,000 region extending weekly losses even as its Realized Cap crossed $1 trillion for the first time. Summary Bitcoin drops to $112K as weekly losses deepen. Realized Cap surpasses $1T, showing record capital inflows. Ethereum gains momentum with whale accumulation. Bitcoin (BTC) retreated to $112,378 on Aug. 25, marking a 2.2% drop in the past 24 hours and extending weekly losses to 2.6%. The decline places the world’s largest cryptocurrency at the lower end of its seven-day range between $112,023 and $117,016. Over the past month, BTC has shed about 4%, cooling after a strong mid-summer rally. Ethereum (ETH), by contrast, continues to show resilience. ETH was changing hands at $4,710 at press time, slightly lower on the day but still up 9% over the past week and 26% in the last 30 days. Its rally culminated in a fresh all-time high of $4,946 on Aug. 24. Bitcoin whales shift into ETH Some of the market’s oldest Bitcoin holders appear to be rotating into Ethereum. In one such transaction, on-chain monitoring platform Lookonchain reported on Aug. 24 that a dormant BTC wallet, active for years, moved 6,000 BTC worth $689.5 million into ETH. The wallet has so far accumulated 278,490 ETH ($1.28 billion) at an average price of $4,585. It still holds 135,265 ETH ($581 million), suggesting a strong conviction in Ethereum’s trajectory. Ethereum has also been gaining ground in exchange-traded fund inflows and ETH treasury company accumulations. Such whale moves add weight to ETH’s relative strength in recent weeks, with traders speculating that capital rotation could sustain Ethereum’s momentum even as Bitcoin consolidates. Bitcoin Realized Cap tops $1 trillion Despite its short-term retracement, Bitcoin has notched a historic milestone on-chain. On Aug. 24, CryptoQuant contributor Burakkesmeci highlighted that Bitcoin’s Realized Cap surpassed $1 trillion…

How Block-Based Parallelization Cuts IO and Computation Overhead

How Block-Based Parallelization Cuts IO and Computation Overhead

This article explores how block-based parallelization improves the efficiency of probabilistic circuits by reducing both IO and computation overhead. Starting with fully connected sum layers, it explains how assigning indices, grouping node blocks, and padding with pseudo-nodes enable optimized kernel launches. Using dynamic programming for partitioning ensures minimal overhead while maximizing speed. Results show that larger block sizes cut IO operations dramatically, achieving up to 50x faster performance without significant cost from padded edges.
