This unprecedented 98% decline in London's IPO market represents the first time in modern history that a leading Western financial hub has experienced such a dramatic power shift during peacetime. Unlike previous market downturns that affected all centers equally, this selective degradation of London's status points to a systematic realignment of global financial power - a key prerequisite for prophesied economic centralization.

📰 What Happened
London's equity market has hit its lowest point in 30 years, with only five companies raising a mere £160M in IPOs during H1 2025. This represents a 98% decline from early 2021 levels and falls 28% below the 2009 financial crisis low. Goldman Sachs analysts note top growth companies are now listing elsewhere, while global trade tensions and macroeconomic uncertainties have severely impacted investor confidence. Even Shein, despite considering London, appears hesitant to list there.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The digitalization of global finance enables unprecedented market shifts that align with prophetic expectations. The £160M IPO low represents just 2% of previous volumes, demonstrating how modern electronic trading systems can rapidly redirect capital flows. This technology-enabled mobility of massive capital creates the infrastructure needed for the prophesied global economic control system (Rev 13). The ability for companies to easily list 'elsewhere' through digital platforms creates the technical foundation for consolidating financial power into prophetically significant regions. The speed of this decline (98% in just 4 years) shows how quickly digital systems can reshape global financial geography.
