&#171;It is difficult to recall anything similar in the history of the automotive industry, where a brand has lost its value so quickly,&#187; JP Morgan stated.  <\/p>\n<p>The drop in Tesla&#8217;s demand may be due to increased competition from Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, slowing global EV demand, and Elon Musk\u2019s controversial policies that negatively impact the company\u2019s image.  <\/p>\n<p>Investors are awaiting Tesla&#8217;s financial report to assess the severity of the situation.  <\/p>\n<p>Strategy Purchases 130 BTC for $10.7 Million  <\/p>\n<p>Despite market volatility, major institutional players continue to expand their Bitcoin holdings.  <\/p>\n<p>The firm Strategy acquired 130 BTC worth $10.7 million at an average price of $82,981 per coin.  <\/p>\n<p>These purchases indicate that institutional investors are using market corrections to accumulate assets, signaling long-term confidence in Bitcoin.  <\/p>\n<p>Standard Chartered Significantly Lowers Ethereum Forecast  <\/p>\n<p>Investment bank Standard Chartered has revised its Ethereum forecast for the end of 2025, lowering the target price from $10,000 to $4,000.  <\/p>\n<p>Key reasons for the downgrade:<br \/>\n&#8212; Slowing growth in the DeFi and NFT markets<br \/>\n&#8212; Increasing competition among blockchains<br \/>\n&#8212; Lower institutional demand for ETH compared to BTC  <\/p>\n<p>Despite the lowered forecast, the bank\u2019s analysts still consider Ethereum a promising asset, though they now expect its growth to be less dynamic than previously projected.  <\/p>\n<p>Bank of Korea: Bitcoin Does Not Meet Global Standards  <\/p>\n<p>South Korea\u2019s central bank stated that Bitcoin does not meet either national standards or the International Monetary Fund (IMF) requirements.  <\/p>\n<p>The regulator noted that:<br \/>\n&#8212; Bitcoin cannot be considered a full-fledged currency due to its high volatility<br \/>\n&#8212; Using BTC in the financial system poses risks, especially in the absence of clear regulations<br \/>\n&#8212; CBDCs remain a priority in South Korea\u2019s digital financial strategies  <\/p>\n<p>This stance aligns with the global trend among central banks, which seek to limit Bitcoin\u2019s adoption while promoting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).  <\/p>\n<p>Study: US-EU Trade War Threatens $9.5 Trillion in Economic Relations  <\/p>\n<p>An analytical report has revealed that an escalating trade conflict between the United States and the European Union could jeopardize $9.5 trillion in economic relations.  <\/p>\n<p>Major risks of the trade war:<br \/>\n&#8212; Increased tariffs on exports and imports<br \/>\n&#8212; Slower economic growth due to reduced international trade<br \/>\n&#8212; Pressure on financial markets and declining investments  <\/p>\n<p>Experts warn that continued escalation could trigger a new global economic crisis, which would also impact the cryptocurrency market.  <\/p>\n<p>CME Group Launches Solana Futures Trading  <\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s largest commodities exchange, CME Group, has announced the launch of Solana (SOL) futures trading.  <\/p>\n<p>What does this mean for the market?<br \/>\n&#8212; Futures will allow institutional investors to speculate on SOL\u2019s price and hedge risks<br \/>\n&#8212; Increased liquidity and institutional interest in Solana is expected<br \/>\n&#8212; Solana becomes the fourth cryptocurrency for which CME offers derivative instruments (after BTC, ETH, and XRP)  <\/p>\n<p>The launch of Solana futures indicates growing institutional interest in alternative blockchains, which may drive further network development.  <\/p>\n<p>Significant market changes could impact the dynamics of financial and cryptocurrency assets:<br \/>\n&#8212; Tesla is losing ground and may report its worst quarterly deliveries in three years<br \/>\n&#8212; Institutional investors are buying Bitcoin, despite market fluctuations<br \/>\n&#8212; Standard Chartered has lowered its Ethereum forecast for 2025<br \/>\n&#8212; The Bank of Korea criticizes Bitcoin, advocating for CBDCs<br \/>\n&#8212; The US-EU trade war poses a global economic threat<br \/>\n&#8212; CME Group launches Solana futures, potentially increasing institutional interest in SOL  <\/p>\n<p>The market continues to evolve amid uncertainty, and the coming months will reveal which of these trends will have the greatest impact on global finance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- related-seo --><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-seo\">\n<h3>Related articles<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/buycrypt.com\/blog\/en\/tesla-reports-80m-bitcoin-profit-in-third-quarter\/\">Tesla Reports $80M Bitcoin Profit in Third Quarter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/buycrypt.com\/blog\/en\/eth-decline-analyzing-the-causes-and-future-predictions\/\">ETH Decline: Analyzing the Causes and Future Predictions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/buycrypt.com\/blog\/en\/markets-in-turmoil-but-bitcoin-is-being-accumulated-institutions-investors-and-etfs-push-the-crypto-market-upward\/\">Markets in Turmoil, but Bitcoin is Being Accumulated: Institutions, Investors, and ETFs Push the Crypto Market Upward<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/related-seo --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JP Morgan predicts Tesla&#8217;s worst quarterly deliveries in three years.
