UK Q3 business investment rises 3.04% y/y, down from 5.2% prior

The slowdown in UK business investment growth is a macro signal rather than a crypto-specific one, but it matters for RWA and tokenization markets that depend on institutional appetite for new capital structures. Weaker capital spending suggests firms are becoming more cautious about deploying balance sheet, which tends to delay adoption of novel financing and settlement rails. Whether this deceleration is a one-quarter dip or the start of a broader pullback in corporate investment is the open question, and it bears watching alongside any later revisions to the figure.
