South Korean Investors Ditch Tesla for Crypto Stocks: The Great Electric-to-Blockchain Exodus 🚗⚡🪙
Bloomberg reported on Sept. 1 that South Korea’s retail army has turned its back on Tesla faster than a cat fleeing bath time. August saw a record $657 million exodus from Tesla shares, while crypto-linked equities became the shiny new toy everyone wants under the Christmas tree. This marks Tesla’s largest monthly outflow since early 2019, contributing to an overall $1.8 billion retreat over four months. And yet, despite this betrayal, Tesla remains the top foreign stock among Korean traders, who still hold about $21.9 billion in the company. Nvidia and Palantir? They’re trailing far behind, like extras in a blockbuster movie. Even the leveraged Tesla ETF-which offers double exposure to Tesla shares-saw record redemptions of $554 million last month. Truly, the age of loyalty is dead. 🪦
