Over the past decade, the momentum of global foreign direct investment (FDI) has remained relatively weak. The reasons behind this are not complicated—weakening economic growth expectations, tightening financing channels, and increased policy uncertainties—these three pressures together have indeed caused many cross-border investors to hit the brakes.



But this precisely highlights an issue: countries and regions with strong foreign investment attraction, open and transparent economic systems, and robust risk management capabilities are actually more likely to attract investment in such an environment. The direction of FDI flow essentially reflects the global capital's vote on economic prospects and policy stability.

So, what’s next? This not only concerns traditional industries but also has implications for the regional choices of crypto capital and the construction of Web3 ecosystems.

so basically capital's just voting with its feet... which is literally what quadratic funding was supposed to solve but nobody actually implemented correctly lol. data shows FDI follows policy stability, not vibes. web3 builders still haven't figured this out tbh

Basically, it's capital voting with their feet. Transparent and stable places naturally attract money. In Web3, the key is the level of policy friendliness; otherwise, even the best projects are doomed to fail. Ten years of stagnation indeed reflect issues with the overall environment, but opportunities are also embedded within. The essence of where capital flows is a gamble on the future, and on-chain data has long shown this. Policy stability > everything. Whether traditional or crypto, this is the logic. Let's see who can seize this wave of opportunity first—it's a winner-takes-all game.

Basically, it's capital voting with their feet—who opens up, who stabilizes, and who wins. Web3 is more realistic; when policies change suddenly, projects just run away. No wonder everyone is flocking to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau. Foreign Direct Investment has been weak over the past decade, revealing who truly wants to play the open economy game. Damn, this logic hits even harder when applied to crypto... Without certainty, who dares to go all in? Capital is always more honest than politicians; the flow of FDI is essentially a weather vane.

Basically, it's capital voting with their feet—wherever it's stable and transparent, they flock there. Web3 is even more outrageous; many countries are still cracking down, but instead, they are giving opportunities to those open-minded places.

Basically, it's capital voting with their feet. Those with stable policies will win. Now I understand why some blockchain ecosystems can rise in Web3; it really depends on the regulatory attitude. With FDI being weak over the past ten years, it has actually clarified the path forward.
