Seeing the news about the sharp rise in Japanese government bond yields, it actually reminded me of a classic analogy:

It's like someone who's been used to free lunches suddenly realizing the restaurant is starting to charge. For decades, the Japanese government has been borrowing at nearly zero cost, thanks to the central bank's backing. Now, the market is demanding "normal pricing."

From a trading perspective, this shift was actually foreseeable. I've previously observed the relationship between the yen exchange rate and the U.S.-Japan interest rate differential. When the spread widens to a certain extent, arbitrage trades begin to pose systemic risks.

The current situation presents the Bank of Japan with a classic "impossible trinity": either continue printing money to suppress yields but worsen inflation, allow yields to rise but cause a massive spike in government debt costs, or let the yen continue depreciating but face even more severe imported inflation.

The impact on the crypto market shouldn't be underestimated. The yen carry trade has long been a major source of capital for global risk assets, and if this tap is turned off, liquidity contraction will be evident.

On the other hand, if this Japanese debt crisis were to truly erupt, it might actually drive more capital toward hard assets like Bitcoin $$BTC . After all, when fiat currency credibility falters, the value of decentralized assets becomes more apparent.
