Netflix ($NFLX (-0.47%)) - The streaming pioneer Netflix had to accept heavy losses yesterday. After-hours, the stock fell up to - 20%. The reason was the disappointing user growth in the quarterly figures reported yesterday. At first glance, the figures did not look bad, as earnings were above expectations and revenue was in line with expectations. However, for the streaming service, the most important metric is user growth, Netflix only recorded 8.3 million new subscribers in Q4 2021 instead of the predicted 8.5 million. The outlook was also disappointing, with user growth of just 2.5 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Evergrande ($EV1) - Shortly before the deadline, the Chinese real estate group Evergrande was able to make an interest payment worth millions. 83.5 million US dollars were transferred to the bondholders. As a result, the share price rose by more than seven percent in the meantime. So far in 2021, the shares have lost more than 80 percent of their value. But further interest payments are also due soon. The next grace period for a bond expires on October 29. In order to pay banks, suppliers and bondholders on time, Evergrande must therefore continue to raise money.

ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF Update - The ETF is so extremely popular that there is now a risk that it is well on its way to hitting the existing futures limit. One way to counter this bottleneck would be to extend the investment contracts. However, there is a risk that the fund could diverge too much from the actual Bitcoin price and no longer track it one-to-one. The ETF created by ProShares was the first fund ever to have more than one billion US dollars in assets under management in just two days.

Solana ($SOL/EUR (+5.41%)) - One of the strongest gainers in recent days was once again the cryptocurrency of the Solana blockchain SOL. After growing by 36.8% in the last seven days, the current price of SOL stands at $205.28, resulting in a market capitalization of $61.56 billion. SOL thus overtakes Ripple XRP ($21XX (+4.24%)) and ranks sixth among the world's largest cryptocurrencies. One of the main reasons for SOL's strong growth is likely to be the booming DeFi (Decentralized Finance) sector of the Solana blockchain. Solana differs from other blockchains, such as Ethereum or the Binance smart chain, due to its incredible speed and extremely low transaction fees.
