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.

Bitwise Files S-1 Statement For Chainlink ETF, LINK Recovery Path Defined?

The post Bitwise Files S-1 Statement For Chainlink ETF, LINK Recovery Path Defined? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: Bitwise filed an S-1 with the SEC for a Chainlink ETF to complement its crypto ETF push. The ETF would hold LINK directly with custody managed by Coinbase. Analysts’ price forecasts pointed toward $100 in the long term. Bitwise Asset Management has filed an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a Chainlink ETF. The filing marked one of the first attempts to bring regulated exposure to an oracle network’s native token. Analysts and commentators, including Eric Balchunas, noted the move as a potential milestone for both the asset and the wider crypto market. Bitwise Seeks Approval for Chainlink ETF Bitwise submitted the application to the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. The proposed product was listed as the “Bitwise Chainlink ETF.” The filing showed Delaware as the state of incorporation and named Coinbase Custody Trust Company as custodian. Notably, if approved, the ETF would hold Chainlink’s native token, LINK, directly. It would not use leverage or derivatives, but instead track the CME CF Chainlink-Dollar Reference Rate. The net asset value would be updated once daily, while intraday values would refresh every 15 seconds to reflect real-time prices. Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, shared the development on social media, highlighting the importance of Bitwise’s decision. The Bitwise Chainlink ETF | Source: Eric Balchunas The firm has a track record of filing for single-token ETFs and diversified indexes, with past applications covering assets such as Solana, XRP, and NEAR. Adding Chainlink, known for its high whale activity, to the list showed a broadening strategy aimed at providing investors with more regulated ways to access digital tokens. The filing came during a period of shifting regulations marked by an earlier approval of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This precedent is…

S&P 500 rose 0.41% on Tuesday despite Trump firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook

The S&P 500 ended higher Tuesday as U.S. markets decided to ignore President Donald Trump’s latest confrontation with the Federal Reserve.

Robinhood stock drops after being left out of the S&P 500 reshuffle

Robinhood stock drops after being left out of the S&P 500 reshuffle

The post Robinhood stock drops after being left out of the S&P 500 reshuffle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Robinhood Markets and other strategy stocks dropped sharply after S&P Dow Jones Indices said Interactive Brokers Group will join the S&P 500, replacing Walgreens Boots Alliance. S&P Dow Jones Indices said Interactive Brokers will move from the S&P MidCap 400 to the S&P 500 on August 28. Talen Energy will take its place in the MidCap 400. On September 2, Kinetik Holdings will join the S&P SmallCap 600, replacing Pacific Premier Bancorp. Robinhood stock drops after S&P exclusion Investors and traders waiting for Robinhood to rise as one of America’s most influential crypto companies were disappointed after S&P Dow Jones Indices announced its latest reshuffle of the S&P 500. The reshuffle left Robinhood out and caused its stock to drop sharply.  The committee’s reasoning reminded people of what the S&P 500 represents and how its managers apply membership guidelines. Robinhood has struggled with profitability and faced skepticism from analysts despite attracting millions of users. On the other hand, Interactive Brokers has proven its reliability through different market cycles and has a strong reputation for stability and profitability built over decades. This makes it more qualified to be included in the list as its qualities matched the index methodologies that require proven financial stability and sustained profitability. A firm added to the S&P 500 will see its valuation boosted overnight and become more popular with institutional investors because every index fund and exchange-traded fund that tracks the benchmark must buy its shares. Interactive Brokers now enjoys these benefits, while Robinhood must rely on organic demand from traders and long-term investors who already follow the stock. Robinhood must provide steady financial results quarterly and prove its business model can withstand different market conditions without the volatility that sometimes defined its journey.  Strategy stocks fall as market adjusts to reshuffle The announcement of…

Robinhood, Strategy Shares Dip on S&P 500 Snub

Robinhood, Strategy Shares Dip on S&P 500 Snub

The post Robinhood, Strategy Shares Dip on S&P 500 Snub appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shares in trading platform Robinhood Markets and Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy fell in after-hours trading on Monday amid a broader market dip after missing out on being included in the S&P 500. S&P Dow Jones Indices said late Monday that Interactive Brokers Group would join the index tracking the 500 largest US companies at market open on Thursday, replacing the pharmacy chain Walgreens Boots Alliance. Wall Street has long been expecting Robinhood to join the S&P 500, and MicroStrategy, trading as Strategy, had recently become eligible for inclusion as its market cap was boosted by the rising value of its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings. Inclusion on the S&P 500 is typically seen as a boon for a company as its shares would be scooped up by passive investors and other funds aiming to track the index. Robinhood again snubbed from S&P 500 Shares in the crypto and stock trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) ended after-hours trading down 0.5% at $107.40 after closing trading on Monday at a 1.26% loss. In comparison, Interactive Brokers (IBKR) saw a 3.9% lift in extended trading to $65.21 on the announcement of its inclusion, after gaining less than 0.6% throughout the trading day. The S&P 500 ended trading 0.4% down. Source: Google Finance Robinhood shares also dropped in early June after S&P Dow Jones Indices announced there would be no changes to the S&P 500 in its quarterly rebalancing. Still, the company’s stock has gained almost 190% this year and has continued to break price records, seeing a lift from renewed retail investor enthusiasm. Strategy also down on S&P miss and Bitcoin drop Shares in the software firm Strategy (MSTR) also dropped on Monday, ending the day’s session down 4.17% and a further 0.6% in after-hours trading to $341.

Dow Jones Industrial Average eases back from record highs

Dow Jones Industrial Average eases back from record highs

The post Dow Jones Industrial Average eases back from record highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Dow Jones backslid on Monday from all-time peak last Friday. Investor sentiment remains high, but market has trimmed a little off the top. A quiet start to the week gives way to the latest batch of US inflation data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) saw a slight decline on Monday, with the major equity index easing back from record highs posted last week. Market exuberance at what investors are broadly interpreting as a dovish appearance from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell has given way to a sedate start to the week as investors brace for the latest round of key US inflation data. Jerome Powell’s appearance at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium sent global markets scrambling to ramp up bets of an interest rate cut on September 17. According to market participants, Fed Chair Powell gave a far more dovish speech than many had expected. To the Fed head’s credit, despite the special occasion calling for some extra verbiage, very little of Powell’s testimony strayed very far from the standard “data dependent” speech notes that have circled the Fed over the past year. With Jackson Hole now fading into memory, investors are pivoting to face a dangerous week: US Durable Goods Orders, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, and Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (PCE) inflation. The key data release this week will be PCE inflation, which is slated for Friday. Markets are still betting that the Fed will be more concerned about rapidly declining US job figures than near-term inflation effects when the Fed’s next interest rate call rolls around on September 17. However, any unpleasantness in this week’s PCE inflation print could throw a hard wrench into the works. Despite very real concerns that the US labor market is softening much faster than many expected, a…
