According to CryptoSlate, Bitcoin is feeling the impact as Japan's long-dated government bonds show signs of instability. Japan's long-standing position as a source of cheap money is shifting, influencing global markets. The Bank of Japan recently increased its benchmark rate to 0.75%, the highest in roughly 30 years. This shift affects global investors who relied on Japan for low-cost borrowing. Rising rates, particularly long-term rates, force the market to reassess the value of future cash, impacting risky assets like Bitcoin. BlackRock noted Bitcoin's sensitivity to USD real rates, similar to gold and emerging market currencies.
