much optimism for their approval appears priced into equity markets. US healthcare repeal a crucial test of Republican Party discipline

News last night that President Trump’s healthcare bill has been delayed has worrying implications for Congress’ approval of other electoral promises, particularly when so much optimism for their approval appears priced into equity markets. US healthcare repeal a crucial test of Republican Party discipline

Data from the American Community Survey and the Department of Labor highlight a close correlation between rises in healthcare coverage and employment. A scaling back of the Affordable Health Care Act as proposed by President Trump has consequently caused some friction in Congress. The delays so far have been caused primarily by the Freedom Caucus, which consists of roughly 30 Congressman who’s mission statement is to give a voice to American’s who feel Washington does not represent them.

The Freedom Caucus is precisely the group that should be supporting President Trump, the fact that they are resisting now is a worrying outcome for other reform plans. Particularly the tax reforms, which are likely to be funded by a form of border adjustment tax. A border adjustment tax would be particularly damaging to US farmers who export considerable volumes of cereals, meat and dairy products to Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Canada and China. This potential damage to farming is unlikely to be overlooked by Congress members and cause delays in approval.

We question if it is right for investors to be so optimistic about various reform plans when equity valuations are so high. The main reason for optimism over corporate earnings growth this year is the prospect of corporate tax cuts, coupled with a tax amnesty on repatriating corporate cash piles. These could lead to an increase in share buybacks, in turn boosting earnings. However, we believe it is likely that these promised tax reforms will be delayed given the lack Republican Party discipline. Furthermore, without the revenue from a border tax, it’s difficult to see approval of tax reforms in Congress.

The consensus for earnings growth expectations in 2017 according to Bloomberg are 18% year on year, a lack of reform could see falls in expectations towards the longer term average of 4.8%, we believe consensus remains way too optimistic.

Quantum computers can’t break bitcoin. Yet.

21Shares have published a new report examining what the quantum threat actually looks like for digital assets, including the timeline, the potential exposure, the prep required, and what this all might mean for asset allocators.

The exposure is larger than most appreciate. Between 4 million and 6.9 million bitcoin have permanently visible account numbers, aka public addresses and public keys, making them vulnerable to a quantum attack. Nearly every active Ethereum account and every Solana account face the same structural exposure.

The timeline shifted in March. On March 31, Google’s quantum team, alongside researchers from the Ethereum Foundation and Stanford, published findings showing the computing power needed to break this encryption is around 20x lower than the field previously believed.

You can’t prepare adequately for a quantum break if you determine that one is six months or a year ahead. You have to act before there’s a real perceived risk – but by definition that means sounding the alarm ’too early’.

The good news is that network preparation is further along than most investors realize. Bitcoin took its first step in Feb 2026 with the merger of BIP-360, a quantum-resistant address proposal. Ethereum has working code and ten independent teams building toward network migration. Solana has a path most observers have missed entirely.

The window is narrowing, but it hasn’t closed. Download full report
