Viewpoint: Bitcoin may replace real estate as a new investment option, and real estate will return to its public utility attributes in the future

 scene that on August 28, 2025, at the Bitcoin Asia event held in Hong Kong, Balaji Srinivasan, the founder of Network School, stated in his keynote speech that from the perspective of asset attributes, Bitcoin exhibits global hedging characteristics. Currently, Western bonds are not truly risk-free. After the 2008 financial crisis, the West may tax the population through printing money to purchase mortgage tax and other operations, which has brought much attention to the housing issue. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has real value, and people are gradually ceasing to consider houses as investment products and are choosing to hold Bitcoin instead. In the future, real estate may return to its role as a public utility.

  • Strong U.S. Labor Market, but Consumers May Worry About Negative Real Wage Growth

    On June 5, Brent Schutte, Chief Investment Officer of Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, stated that the U.S. labor market has moved away from the weak and limited growth experienced in 2025, showing signs of recovery and broader expansion. In 2025, the non-cyclical healthcare and social assistance sectors contributed to all job growth. The diffusion index, which had been below 50 for nine months in 2025, has rebounded to above 50 in the last five months, reaching 54.4 in May. The good news for consumers is that the labor market is strong and employment is stable. However, concerns about future spending arise as real wages are experiencing negative growth, with average hourly earnings up 3.4% year-on-year and inflation at 3.8%. The Federal Reserve may lean towards a wait-and-see approach, but its focus is likely to shift towards the inflation aspects of monetary policy.
