first_img China's artificial intelligence stocks have significantly declined, with the STAR50 dropping 40% in the past four months

Reuters reported on October 26 that amid fluctuations in global tech stocks, Chinese artificial intelligence and semiconductor-related stocks have already declined. The STAR50 index, dominated by mainland artificial intelligence and semiconductor leaders, has dropped 40% in less than four months, with a market value evaporating by about $480 billion. The CSI 300 index has fallen about 20% from its June peak, interrupting nearly two years of gains. Beijing fund manager Dong Baozhen said: The stock market has evolved into a speculative frenzy bull market, and now the bubble is bursting. Traders noted that the decline does not have a clear single trigger factor; high prices, tax bills, and the possibility of the U.S. or other countries banning Chinese equipment from entering data centers have all had an impact. During the same period, the Nasdaq has retreated 6% from its record high three weeks ago.Goldman Sachs stated that AI stocks account for 42% of China's market value and 57% of the trading volume of mainland A-shares and Hong Kong H-shares. When the robotics company Yushu went public, retail investors oversubscribed by about 8,000 times, and since trading began in August, its stock price has fallen by about half; chip company Changxin Storage has dropped more than a quarter in the past month. Mu Xi Integrated Circuit and Moore Threads saw their stock prices rise by about 700% and 400% respectively on their first day of trading last year, but have also fallen by about half since July. Optical module companies Zhongji Xuchuang and Guangxun Technology have dropped about 60% from their June and July peaks, partly due to the U.S. moving towards banning these companies from supplying to U.S. data centers. Hainan investor Chen Wensheng said: He bought Yushu because he felt official support and that there were state-owned background funds investing, but he is currently suffering losses with friends.The STAR50 is currently still about 100 times its past earnings, having fallen from a high of nearly 250 times, with investors comparing it to the Nasdaq 100's price-to-earnings ratio of about 30 times. Hong Hao, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Lotus Asset Management in Hong Kong, said: The current situation will cause many companies trying to go public to pause. Leo Wang, a partner at Beijing Qianchuang Capital, said: Overemphasizing the market capitalization weight of tech companies in major indices will create serious bubbles in certain industries and siphon off funds from other sectors. Wang Zhuo, a partner at Shanghai Zhuozhu Investment Management, said: Chip manufacturers and AI suppliers will ultimately fall into price wars like other Chinese manufacturers. HSBC Research stated that Asian funds have generally been selling over the past three months but are still overweight in China; Goldman Sachs' updated recommendation list this month includes Zhongji Xuchuang and Changxin Storage. The China Securities Regulatory Commission did not immediately respond to Reuters' inquiries; Chairman Wu Qing met with market participants earlier this month to hear suggestions for improving the capital market.

first_img Blockstream executive Peter Bain: Institutional clients are optimistic about the Bitcoin bull market

Blockstream Chief Marketing Officer Peter Bain stated in a recent interview that Bitcoin has maintained the $81,000 mark amid stock market sell-offs, rising 10-year U.S. Treasury yields, and turmoil in Europe, which he described as "a very, very strong signal." He made this statement during a conversation with Grace Remington and Sean Hagan.Bain emphasized that technological development precedes price and discussed topics such as adoption, stablecoins, and tokenized stocks. He introduced Blockstream's new center established in Lugano and a new consulting department aimed at institutional clients, while explaining why treasury companies are mainly concentrated in the United States and why Switzerland will become the next market—Switzerland's clear regulatory framework and strong banking foundation make it an ideal launch market.Regarding quantum computing, Bain believes that the related threats will take decades to materialize, and that Bitcoin's real weaknesses lie elsewhere. He referenced the PHP vulnerability incident, stating that the industry needs to rethink the way software is released, and introduced Blockstream's research on quantum-resistant signature solutions, how consensus can be reached for quantum upgrades, and the Bitcoin Security Alliance. Additionally, he provided the first update on the Liquid Network event progress: the exchange service has been restored, the network is back online, and users can transfer Bitcoin back to the main chain. Looking ahead to 2027, Bain stated that institutional clients believe Bitcoin "is expected to usher in a major bull market."
