Cryptex Finance to Release dApp on September 3rd


Cryptex Finance is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) responsible for managing the TCAP index, which tracks the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency sector. The core concept behind Cryptex is to offer investors a tool that provides exposure to the entire cryptocurrency market without the need to purchase individual coins.


Cryptex Finance’s flagship product, the TCAP, delivers a real-time snapshot of the market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies. Unlike an average or an ETF, TCAP reflects the actual and real-time value of the entire cryptocurrency market cap. Cryptex works with various oracles to provide accurate market cap data, ensuring that TCAP accurately mirrors the current market value.


CTX serves as the native governance token within the Cryptex ecosystem. Holders of CTX can participate in protocol governance by proposing or voting on key decisions.

Bitcoin jumps as Powell signals Fed policy adjustment.



In his speech at Jackson Hole today, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reinforced expectations of an interest rate cut in September, stating that "the time has come for Fed policy to adjust." This statement spurred a rise in Bitcoin (BTC), which surged towards $62,000 after a 1.1% increase in the past hour.


Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) also experienced gains, with 0.8% and 1.1% growth, respectively. Powell's dovish tone was further emphasized by his assertion that the Fed is confident inflation will reach 2%.


Furthermore, the Fed Chairman mentioned that the Fed does not aim to cool the labor market further and is committed to supporting robust job market growth.


Powell’s remarks align with the recently released minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in July, which suggested a likely 25 basis point (bps) cut in U.S. interest rates in September.


The minutes also echoed Powell’s late July speech, which hinted at a potential change in monetary policy if the data continues to meet expectations. This consistent messaging provides a sense of stability for risk asset investors.


Web3 adoption’s central issue: Seed phrases won’t work for 95% of mainstream users


The complexity of current Web3 wallets is a significant barrier to mainstream cryptocurrency adoption.



Bumblefudge, the janitor-in-chief at the Chain Agnostic Standards Alliance (CASA), an autonomous blockchain developer organization, believes that the crypto industry must move beyond using complicated seed phrases for widespread adoption.


Other prominent crypto companies are also pushing to eliminate such friction points.


Chintan Turakhia, Senior Director of Engineering at Coinbase, emphasized that attracting the first billion users to the blockchain will require more user-friendly applications designed for beginners.
