With the Federal Reserve poised to decide on rate cuts next week, even a modest shift of this capital could have a huge impact on markets. Some analysts believe crypto could be a surprising beneficiary once cash begins rotating out of ‘safe’ instruments. Why Money Market Funds Matter for Risk Assets Money market funds are low-risk investment vehicles that pool investors’ money into short-term, high-quality debt instruments…

Robinhood Markets will officially join the S&P 500 on Sept. 22, replacing Caesars Entertainment, as part of the quarterly rebalancing of the index. The inclusion, announced by S&P Dow Jones Indices on Friday, brings another crypto-adjacent company to America’s most tracked stock index, further expanding the benchmark index’s exposure to the crypto sector. “This movement expands the index’s exposure and connection to the digital asset economy,” Edwin Mata, co-founder and CEO of tokenization platform Brickken, told Cointelegraph. “While the S&P still lacks direct holdings in cryptocurrencies, Robinhood’s role as a retail crypto gateway means the index is indirectly capturing part…
Popular crypto derivatives are called perpetual contracts that enable traders to bet on the prices of Bitcoin or Ethereum but not owning the asset. In contrast with conventional futures, they do not expire, and they are maintained at spot prices by means of such mechanisms as funding rates.
