Softbank ($SFT (-3.53%)) - According to insiders, Japanese technology investor Softbank is negotiating with German company United Robotics to buy the French robotics business centered around the humanoid robot Pepper. The Bochum-based company United Robotics already works with Softbank and distributes its Pepper and Nao robots in Europe. There was no official comment from either company on the takeover rumors.
Evergrande ($EV1) - Shortly before the deadline, the Chinese real estate group Evergrande was able to make a multi-million dollar interest payment. It was transferred 83.5 million U.S. dollars to the bondholders. As a result, the share price rose by more than seven percent in the meantime. So far, the shares have lost more than 80 percent of their value in 2021. But further interest payments are also due soon. On October 29, the next grace period for a bond expires. To be able 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, in doing so, there is a risk that the fund will be too different from the actual bitcoin price and will no longer track it one-to-one. The ETF created by ProShares was the first fund ever to exceed $1 billion in assets under management in just two days.
Solana ($SOL/EUR (-0.77%)) - One of the strongest gainers in recent days was once again the Solana blockchain cryptocurrency SOL. After growing 36.8% in the last seven days, SOL's current price is $205.28, resulting in a market cap of $61.56 billion. SOL thus overtakes Ripple XRP ($21XX (+7.16%)) and ranks sixth among the world's largest cryptocurrencies. One of the main reasons for SOL's strong growth is likely the booming DeFi (Decentralized Finance) sector of the Solana blockchain. Solana differs from other blockchains, such as Ethereum or the Binance smartchain, by its incredible speed and extremely low transaction fees.
