$DASH 🚨 JAPAN HAS JUST SET OFF A GLOBAL LIQUIDITY SHOCK
This is not a local story. This is a structural shift that impacts every major market worldwide.$BTC
Japan now carries the highest government debt burden globally, sitting near 230% of GDP. For years, this number existed quietly in the background because interest rates were pinned near zero.
That era just ended.
What Changed
The Bank of Japan was forced to call an emergency policy meeting as Japanese bond yields surged to record highs.
With nearly $10 trillion in government debt, even a small rise in yields causes: → Debt servicing costs to explode → Fiscal flexibility to collapse → Financial stress to accelerate rapidly
Japan survived for decades on one thing only: zero rates. Now that shield is gone.
Why This Matters Globally
For more than 30 years, Japan acted as the world’s primary funding engine.
The strategy was simple: → Borrow yen at near-zero rates → Deploy that capital into anything with yield → Stocks, bonds, real estate, emerging markets, crypto
This was the yen carry trade, and it quietly supported global asset prices for decades.
That trade is now breaking.
Capital Is Reversing
Japan holds: → Over $1 trillion in U.S. Treasuries → Hundreds of billions in global equities and bonds
They owned these assets because Japanese bonds paid nothing.
Now Japanese bonds finally offer real yields.
After hedging costs: → U.S. Treasuries lose money for Japanese investors
This isn’t fear. This is arithmetic.
When domestic yields become competitive after 30 years, capital comes home.
The Liquidity Vacuum
When Japanese pensions, insurers, and institutions rebalance: → Hundreds of billions exit global markets → Liquidity drains fast → Volatility spikes
At the same time, more than $1 trillion in leveraged carry trades start to unwind.
As yen strengthens and funding costs rise: → Margin calls spread → Forced selling accelerates → Correlations move toward one
Everything sells together.
Why Crypto Gets Hit Hard
Crypto isn’t collapsing because of Japan directly.
Crypto gets hit because: → Japan funded global leverage → That leverage inflated high-beta assets → When funding breaks, high-beta assets move first
Crypto reacts faster, sharper, and more violently than traditional markets.
No Easy Exit for Japan
Japan is now trapped between three outcomes: → Default → Restructuring → Inflation
Printing more money is no longer painless: → Yen weakens → Import costs surge → Domestic pressure intensifies
This time, money printing creates more damage, not relief.
The Big Picture
For decades, Japanese yields anchored global rates lower. Almost every portfolio built since the 1990s relied on that silent support. That anchor has snapped.
This is how markets move from: “Everything is fine” to “Everything is breaking” — very fast.
