Will China’s Stock Market Crash Hit Bitcoin Price?

China’s AI stock bubble keeps deflating. On October 27, the STAR50 index fell 4.81%, extending a roughly 40% slide from July that erased about $480 billion.

Bitcoin, however, holds near $80,400, and two scenarios could decide whether the selloff reaches crypto.

Scenario One: Why Global Contagion Could Hit Bitcoin

The greater near-term danger is a mirror effect on Wall Street, not a direct Chinese crypto dump. If upcoming US tech earnings show that massive AI infrastructure spending continues to outpace realized revenue, concerns about overvaluation could spread.

The index closed at 1,252.28, while the CSI 300 dropped about 4.81% in the last 24 hours. Market data shows tech names led a late-session selloff.

Still, China bans crypto trading and previously pushed miners offshore. As a result, Chinese selling has no direct path into Bitcoin.

Instead, the key risks lie elsewhere:

• US tech earnings could show AI spending still outpacing revenue.
• Spot Bitcoin ETFs have tied BTC more closely to tech stocks.
• Fund managers often sell liquid assets during sharp equity drops.

Prediction markets also show elevated odds of more pressure on Western chip and AI stocks.

Scenario Two: Could Capital Rotate Back Into Bitcoin?
