The post Japanese Government Bonds Are CRASHING, How the Crypto Market Will React? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Japan’s 30-year government bond yield jumped sharply by 30 basis points in a single session, reaching a record high of 3.90% for the first time in history. However, the sudden move has raised serious concerns about financial stability, leaving many investors asking what this could mean for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
Japan Government Bond Yields Hit Record Highs
According to the latest market data , Japanese government bond yields surged sharply across multiple maturities. The 30-year bond yield jumped by 30 basis points in a single session, reaching 3.90%, the highest level in Japan’s history.
At the same time, the 40-year bond yield climbed 28 basis points to 4.22%, also a record high. Even the short-term bonds, such as the 10-year yield, rose to 2.37%, a level not seen since the 1990s.
As demand fell, yields rose quickly, indicating a growing fear among investors.
Weak Bond Demand Losing Investor Confidence
Concerns have grown after new political promises of tax cuts ahead of Japan’s February elections. Investors fear lower tax revenue could force the government to take on more debt, adding pressure to a system already under strain.
Japan already carries one of the highest debt levels globally, with government debt exceeding 250% of GDP, and rising yields increase the cost of borrowing and weaken confidence further.
What This Means for Bitcoin and Crypto
This type of financial stress creates massive volatility. When markets panic, investors often sell risk assets, including crypto, to raise cash. This may lead to sudden price drops in Bitcoin and altcoins.
However, we already saw this last year when Japan raised the interest rate, cryptocurrency fell sharply, while bitcoin fell to near $74K.
This is why gold and silver are now hitting new all-time high prices, and Bitcoin often follows after the initial shock.
