𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 🏛️

Daimler ($DAI (-2.54%)) - Despite a massive slump in sales, Daimler was able to post surprisingly good figures in the past quarter. Thanks to rising prices, the group was able to keep its revenue almost stable and even increase its profit. The share price has risen in recent weeks from 70 euros in mid-September to just under 84 euros. Net profit increased by 21 percent and now stands at 2.47 billion euros. Analysts expect the share price to rise, as Daimler has proven to be robust and resilient.

Facebook / Meta ($FB2A (+3.24%)) - The group is renaming itself "Meta." This is intended to create a brand that unites all of the Group's companies and products. The reason for this name is the planned metaverse that the Group wants to build.

𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 💎

Ethereum ($ETH-USD (-0.24%)) - After the successful launch of the Altari Beacon Chain Upgrade, ETH was able to reach a new all-time high of $4,400.97 last night. Said upgrade paves the way for ETH 2.0, which will then be based on proof-of-stake rather than proof-of-work. ETH has been able to maintain bullish momentum since Julie, when the price of it was still at $1,780. Ethereum has particularly benefited from the DeFi & NFT boom in recent months.
