London's financial sector got spooked in Q4 2025—companies straight up pumped the brakes on hiring. Job vacancies dropped 13% compared to the previous quarter, according to Morgan McKinley's latest data. The culprit? Budget uncertainty in the UK combined with volatile global markets. When traditional finance gets jittery, it ripples everywhere. Worth watching how this macro squeeze plays out for the broader economy and what signals it sends to the crypto markets.

The London financial circle is really scared. What does a 13% job vacancy rate indicate? It means no one dares to hire anymore. This isn't just a UK issue; as the global market trembles, traditional finance starts to shiver.

This cooling in London's financial circle, to put it simply, means traditional finance is starting to shake... Should our crypto circle start bottoming out now?

Traditional finance shakes, and our crypto circle has to suffer along too. This logic makes sense.

The London financial circle is really feeling the pressure now, with recruitment directly cut by 13%... To put it simply, it's still the unpredictable policies over in the UK, and the global markets are chaotic again. Traditional finance is trembling, and the entire economy is shaking along.
