Summary
Two prominent Chinese hedge funds said the global rally in artificial-intelligence stocks has become unsustainable and may be nearing a breaking point.
Wealspring Asset called AI shares a “super bubble” in an investor letter, saying the market’s “collapse point may not be far away.”
Shanghai Banxia Investment Management Center said a trigger for the bubble to burst has already emerged, pointing to pressure on Anthropic PBC’s rapid revenue growth.
The warnings stand out because Wealspring founder Yang Dong is known in China for calling the 2007 market top, giving the latest caution added weight.
Is the AI boom built on real demand or a 'fake revenue' loop between tech giants and the startups they fund?
With valuations dwarfing the dot-com peak, is this a true technological revolution or history's largest financial bubble?

Overview
As of June 2026, financial markets are flashing urgent warnings about an AI 'Super Bubble' on the verge of bursting. Chinese hedge funds and global investors are increasingly concerned as the high expectations for AI face tough realities: subsidies are fading, and AI tools are under pressure to prove real economic value. Many AI solutions are struggling to deliver measurable benefits, making it unlikely that the massive revenue projections will be met. This situation, combined with infrastructure limits and fierce competition, sets the stage for a potential market shock similar to previous speculative bubbles.
