US tech dominance faces investor skepticism, potentially benefiting non-tech sectors and alternative financial hubs. UK gains competitive advantage in fintech regulation and innovation through Revolut's approval, positioning itself as attractive fintech destination post-Brexit. Asian markets show vulnerability to US tech volatility.
