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.

While he avoided committing to a September move, his balanced tone prompted markets to push rate cut expectations sharply higher, sending Treasury yields lower and triggering a broad US Dollar selloff. The shift in expectations was reflected in the CME FedWatch Tool, which now shows a 90% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in September, up from around 70% earlier in the day. The repricing sparked heavy US Dollar selling, with the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the Greenback against a basket of six major currencies, retreating from a two-week high of 98.83.
