Bitcoin Flourishes as the Ancien Régime Falls
Bitcoin's latest charge is very much understandable. Regime change is in its favor. It owes much to the steady advance through Congress of the proposed Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (known as the GENIUS Act because Washington loves its acronyms) as lawmakers strive to make the US the world's 'crypto capital.'

Wall Street's China Exit? U.S. Firms Slash Investment Plans to 20-Year Low
Investor appetite for China is coolingand fast. According to the latest US-China Business Council survey, only 48% of U.S. firms plan to invest in China in 2025. That's a staggering drop from 80% just a year ago, and the lowest reading since the question was first asked in 2006. The reasons? Think tariffs, slower growth, and shifting industrial policy. While tensions between Beijing and Washington have eased slightly after recent talks in London, many firms remain in holding pattern mode. They are riding out the uncertainty, said Kyle Sullivan, VP of the Council's advisory services. And when you look under the hood, the sentiment shift makes sense: nearly one-third of companies say they've lost market share in China over the past three years, and almost 70% expect more of the same ahead. The push to diversify is gaining traction. A record 27% of companies said they've either moved or plan to move parts of their operations out of China. That's the highest since at least 2016. These aren't small playersover 40% of respondents earn more than $1 billion annually from their China business. Yet the mounting cost of retaliatory tariffs, particularly for firms sourcing inputs from the U.S., is proving difficult to absorb. About three-quarters of companies flagged tariffs as their top cost concern. Some are turning to alternative markets, while others are renegotiating with suppliers or passing higher costs down the chain. Each option comes with tradeoffs, and none offer clear-cut solutions. Meanwhile, China's policy landscape isn't helping. More than 80% of U.S. companies say Beijing's industrial policy is propping up once-uncompetitive Chinese firms, while nearly 60% believe it's steering customers toward local products. And although recent export approvals and a modest rebound in Chinese shipments to the U.S. offer a glimmer of stabilization, underlying trade friction remains. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other U.S. multinationals with deep ties to China may have to navigate a tougher operating environment heading into 2025. Investors should watch how this plays outespecially with the political calendar heating up and policy decisions on both sides still in flux. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
