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.

ECB’s Lagarde insists U.S.-EU trade deal within the central bank's projections

ECB’s Lagarde insists U.S.-EU trade deal within the central bank's projections

The post ECB’s Lagarde insists U.S.-EU trade deal within the central bank's projections appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), said on Wednesday that the recent trade deal with the U.S. was not far from the bank’s baseline forecast. She also noted that the trade negotiations led to higher tariffs on EU goods to the U.S. than the April levies. At the International Business Council of the World Economic Forum, Lagarde revealed that the recent trade deal established tariffs between 12% and 16% for U.S. imports of EU goods. She believes the 15% levies on most items in the deal agreed upon last month prevented an all-out trade war and gave businesses greater clarity. The bank’s official said the tariffs were still higher than the ECB’s June baseline projections. Lagarde says U.S.-EU trade deal will weigh on economic growth. The ECB’s president acknowledged that the trade deal is also below the worst-case scenario for U.S. tariffs. The financial institution had projected over 20% of U.S. tariffs on EU goods in its June projections.  Lagarde believes the deal between the two nations will weigh on economic growth until 2026. The financial institution’s June forecast shows a baseline 1.1% economic growth next year. It also revealed that severe outcomes would have lowered the growth to 0.7%. According to Europe’s central bank, there’s still uncertainty lurking due to unspecified levies in pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. As previously reported by Cryptopolitan, the 15% trade deal did not include pharmaceuticals. Lagarde said the ECB’s staff will reveal the implications of the U.S.-EU trade deal for the European economy in the upcoming September projections. She also stated that next month’s projections will guide the European Central Bank’s decisions over the coming months. Lagarde argued that the EU had a strong track record of trading partners, with 72 countries engaging in trade. She also said the region has the…

Panic Or Profit? Analyst Says XRP Below $3 Is A ‘Massive Blessing’

Panic Or Profit? Analyst Says XRP Below $3 Is A ‘Massive Blessing’

After the brief surge that followed the Ripple lawsuit’s conclusion, traders say momentum quickly faded. Bitcoin slid to around $114,000, and with it, XRP touched $2.94. That dip dragged the token under $3 once again, sparking fresh arguments between those who see a buying chance and those who remain skeptical. Related Reading: Cardano Climbs To 8th, Pushing Dogecoin And TRON Down The Ranks Analyst Frames Dip As Opportunity According to comments from Coach JV, a well-known XRP advocate, the return to sub-$3 levels should be seen as a chance to buy.   He called XRP under $3 “a massive blessing.” He told followers that most people panic when prices fall, while patient investors buy slowly over time. He used a farming image to make the point: People tend to buy at harvest, he said, but the smart money buys when the field looks empty. This message sits alongside data showing XRP has been more bearish since the post-lawsuit spike.   XRP under $3 is a massive blessing. Most people panic when prices are low, but this is where wealth is built. You already know the game, accumulation in sideways markets is what sets up generational wealth when the cycle turns. Think of it like farmland. Everyone wants to buy… — Coach, JV (@Coachjv_) August 18, 2025 A Split Within The Community Not everyone agrees with that view. One commentator argued that XRP at $500 — not $3 — would be the real blessing. Coach JV pushed back, saying that if an extreme rally ever arrives, the payoff will go to those who held through the down days and kept adding to their positions. He has also used the phrase “unimaginable wealth” to describe what long-term holders might see. Reports note that most XRP holders own fewer than 500 tokens, which helps explain why many retail investors focus on the idea of transformative returns. Technical Indicators Paint A Cautionary Picture According to current XRP price predictions, the token is expected to dip by 0.75% to about $2.87 by September 19, 2025. Based on technical readings, market sentiment is listed as Neutral and the Fear & Greed Index registers 44 (Fear). Over the last 30 days XRP recorded 12/30 green days — that’s 40% — with price volatility at 4.80%. Those numbers suggest movement, but not runaway momentum, and they help explain the mixed tone among traders.

Meanwhile, short-term traders will watch price action around $3 for signs of follow-through, while longer-term backers point to accumulation as a strategy. According to the voices quoted in the market, patience and steady buying are the path some choose. Other market participants say tempering expectations with clear math is wise. Either way, the debate over whether a dip is a blessing or a warning is likely to continue as XRP finds its footing after recent volatility. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin Will Win From Fed Rate Cut Delay Or Confirmation

Bitcoin Will Win From Fed Rate Cut Delay Or Confirmation

The post Bitcoin Will Win From Fed Rate Cut Delay Or Confirmation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key takeaways: US President Donald Trump’s push for aggressive interest rate cuts could trigger a surge in inflation, weaken the dollar and destabilize long-term bond markets. Even without rate cuts, trade policy and fiscal expansion are likely to push prices higher. Bitcoin stands to benefit either way — whether as an inflation hedge in a rapid-cut environment, or as a slow-burn store of value as US macro credibility quietly erodes. The US economy may be growing on paper, but the underlying stress is increasingly difficult to ignore — a tension now in sharp focus at the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium. The US dollar is down over 10% since January, core PCE inflation is stuck at 2.8% and the July PPI surged 0.9%, tripling expectations. Against this backdrop, 10-year Treasury yields holding at 4.33% look increasingly uneasy against a $37 trillion debt load. The question of interest rates has moved to the center of national economic debate. Trump is now openly pressuring Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates by as much as 300 basis points, pushing them down to 1.25-1.5%. If the Fed complies, the economy will be flooded with cheap money, risk assets will surge and inflation will accelerate. If the Fed resists, the effects of rising tariffs and the fiscal shock from Trump’s newly passed Big Beautiful Bill could still push inflation higher. In either case, the US appears locked into an inflationary path. The only difference is the speed and violence of the adjustment, and what it would mean for Bitcoin price. What if Trump forces the Fed to cut? Should the Fed bow to political pressure starting as early as September or October, the consequences would likely unfold rapidly. Core PCE inflation could climb from the current 2.8% to above 4% in 2026…
