If you think the bond market is just a small circle problem of traditional finance, it's time to reconsider this matter.

Recently, the yield on Japan's 10-year government bonds soared to around 2.3%, hitting a new high since 1999, and analysts are even warning that it could further rise to the 3%+ range. Behind such intense fluctuations is not just a problem for Japan, but a global repricing of risk appetite in the bond market.

For a long time, the Japanese bond market was the last bastion of ultra-low interest rates in the world. For decades, the ultra-low yields made yen arbitrage and carry trade an important component of global liquidity—large amounts of cheap yen borrowing drove funds into high-yield assets. This mechanism is now being broken.

The most obvious macro transmission logic behind this severe bond market volatility includes three points:

📌 Global liquidity tightening expectations intensify

Rising bond yields mean that capital costs are increasing, and capital is no longer easily flowing for free.

This will have a cascading effect on U.S. Treasuries, tech stocks, and the entire ecosystem of risk assets.

📌 Arbitrage trading pressure increases

Yen financing is no longer so cheap; strategies that previously relied on low-cost capital for cross-market arbitrage will be forced to adjust or close out, which will drain the global pool of risk assets.

📌 Demand for safe-haven assets increases

When the bond market is no longer a 'safe haven', capital will naturally seek new refuge—gold and silver have once again strengthened, which also reinforces the narrative of Bitcoin as 'digital gold' on a macro level.

From on-chain and market sentiment perspectives, this macro turning point does not have a straightforward linear impact on crypto:

Short-term volatility intensifies

Prices will experience significant fluctuations during the style-switching phase;

Rearrangement of capital expectations

When capital flows back from traditional bond markets and arbitrage strategies to high beta assets or safe-haven assets, it will trigger a rotation of capital among risk assets;

The long-term fundamentals remain unchanged

Regardless of how bonds fluctuate in the short term, the cumulative value attributes, scarcity, and global dispersion of blockchain assets are still structurally recognized by capital.

Take assets like ETH; it has both 'infrastructure value' and is central to the smart contract ecosystem, and in the context of macro tightening, it is easily considered in another category of capital allocation beyond 'risk control + value storage'.

This bond market volatility is not an isolated 'bond technical market', but part of the global liquidity cycle switch + risk appetite repricing.

At this stage, prices are more easily influenced by 'external large variables' than trends, but structural judgments often determine the rhythm of the next phase.

To summarize this chain of logic:

📈 Japanese bond market yields reach a nearly 30-year high

→ Cross-market arbitrage costs rise

→ Global liquidity expectations tighten

→ Investors reassess risk appetite

→ Gold rises, BTC/ETH and other risk assets experience increased volatility

This is not a story of a single asset,

This reflects the macro rhythm of the global financial system adjusting marginal interest rates and the structure of capital supply.#加密市场观察 #日本国债 #Binance
