It isn't 'Europe' that is over regulating AI it is the EU. The UK is taking a light touch see what happens approach, for now that is until Labour gets in and give the EU a good run for their money, so it is probably better to be specific about these things and say EU or UK.
The whole financial structure of the world has changed (is changing) but the one thing the same is that whoever has the money, has the power. From where I stand in the street among all the passers bye I see the conventional finance institutions (including national) losing their grip on their market place. I sense in the UK that the retail banks (especially RBS) are in fear of losing their control over the retail customer.
The potential for the man in the street to buy and influence stocks is in sight (maybe!). When this happens the weight and power of traditional investors can change. The private biggies (Not necessarilly under control of national governments) will maintain their positions from a position of know-how and know-what. They retain their independance with aid of Blockchain and Krypto but with the ease of the man in the street to invest smaller amounts will become considerable and an important influence on the balance of control. It may take a long time, maybe not so long. I can't wait ..... but then I am too old to wait!
We can't invest in the SPAC behind the company on HL. I have asked them about it and they said they don't offer access to US listed SPAC's any longer due to past issues they've had with them (UK listed ones are fine). They asked me to put in a request when the ticker changes, when it relists, and they will look to add it. Though this could take a few days, As it is happening tomorrow it will be well into next week. I've had to make a small purchase through my other broker which is IG. No issue there.
Yeah, increasingly finding that HL is infinitely frustrating. Never such issues with ii or IG or Degiro and those other brokers. HL used to offer them, then made the call on behalf of everyone they weren't suitable. Such is the might of the institutions.

I do not think Gold will for ever retain the importance that it has enjoyed to date.
