carrytrade

For decades, traders borrowed cheap yen,
used leverage,
and bought everything with higher yields — stocks, bonds, crypto.

That’s the yen carry trade.
Now?

🚨 10-year JGB ≈ 2.25%

🚨 40-year JGB just smashed past 4%

When yen volatility spikes, leverage dies fast.
And when leverage dies…
Bitcoin gets sold first.

JAPAN BOND SHOCK: GLOBAL MARKETS ENTERING CRITICAL RISK PHASE 🚨

JAPAN HAS NEARLY $1000X TRILLION IN DEBT. YIELDS ARE AT RECORD HIGHS. THE ZERO INTEREST RATE ERA IS DEAD. THIS IS ARITHMETIC, NOT FEAR.

• Debt servicing costs accelerate brutally.
• Fiscal flexibility vanishes.
• History shows only Default, Restructuring, or Inflation.

WHY THIS CRUSHES GLOBAL ASSETS:
👉 Japan is a massive capital exporter ($1 Trillion+ in US Treasuries).
👉 Rising domestic yields force repatriation of hundreds of billions.
👉 This creates a global liquidity vacuum.
👉 The $1 Trillion Yen Carry Trade collapses, forcing margin selling across stocks and $CRYPTO.

Forced selling incoming. Correlations go to one.

🚨 Yen Stablecoin Launch Sparks On-Chain Carry Trade Buzz! 🚨


Japan’s newly launched yen-pegged stablecoin is being positioned as a fresh funding vehicle for DeFi—thanks to the yen’s full convertibility and Japan’s ultra-low interest rates.

Rather than just another token, it could unleash a programmable version of the carry trade, where traders borrow cheap digital yen and chase high yields in dollar-linked DeFi pools.


📊 Why It Matters:


The yen flows freely across borders—unlike many Asian currencies—making it ideal for international DeFi use.


With domestic rates near 0.5%, borrowing yen digitally could become a low-cost funding strategy for yield-seeking crypto stacks.


Challenges remain: limits on redemption and Tokyo’s cautious regulatory stance mean adoption may take time. CoinDesk


🔥 Your Take?

Is this yen-stablecoin strategy the next big DeFi funding wave — or is it still too early and niche? 👇

Japan Pulled The Plug On Global Leverage

The sudden volatility in $BTC was not a crypto-specific event; it was a global margin call triggered by one of the most powerful macro forces in finance: the Yen carry trade. When Japan’s 2-year bond yield spiked past 1%, it signaled a critical shift in the world’s cheapest borrowing market. For years, massive funds borrowed ultra-cheap JPY to dump into high-risk assets—including crypto. That easy money just got expensive.

As the carry trade unwinds, funds must liquidate holdings across the board. Stocks and gold felt the pressure, and $BTC was no exception. This macro fear pushed Bitcoin below key support, initiating a devastating chain reaction. The market was already choked with leverage, meaning the initial macro push instantly triggered stop-loss cascades. What looked like random selling was actually a highly predictable sequence: macro shock leads to forced selling, which culminates in a leverage wipeout across assets like $ETH. Stay rational. The chain reaction is always the same.

⚡ #BREAKING: Japan JGB Yields Spike — Global Markets on Alert 🚨

Japan’s bond market is roaring 📈

10Y, 20Y, 30Y, 40Y JGB yields are hitting multi-decade highs — 10Y over 2%, 30Y 3.4%+. This isn’t just local noise.

🔑 Why It Matters Globally:

• Repatriation Flows: Japanese investors may bring cash back home, reducing demand for US Treasuries.

• Carry Trade Unwind: Stronger Yen + higher yields = traders forced to sell US stocks, gold, crypto, and other risk assets to cover leveraged positions.

⚠️ Bigger Picture: Rising JGB yields act like a stealth global rate hike, sucking liquidity and hitting risk-on assets — even if the Fed stays calm.

📊 Watch the 10Y Closely:

Fast spikes could trigger serious volatility across markets. Classic carry trade unwind vibes here — the type that historically marks big turns. 🔄

⚠️ Something bad is coming for crypto… it is moving behind the scenes and no one is talking 📉

After the recent drop, everyone is waiting for the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate cuts, but the real danger may come from the Bank of Japan if it raises interest rates. This decision could trigger what is called Unwinding Carry Trade, where institutions pull their money out of risky markets like crypto and shift it to the Japanese yen.

The last two times the Bank of Japan raised interest rates, crypto experienced a sharp and sudden decline.

Many underestimate the situation… but the smart ones are preparing now before the shock occurs. (Check my next post for more information).

Japan Is About To Force Sell Your BTC

The biggest macro threat nobody is talking about just flashed red. Japanese 20-year bond yields just hit levels unseen since 1998. This is not a local problem; this is a global liquidity bomb aimed straight at risk assets.

For decades, the Yen Carry Trade was simple: borrow cheap JPY, buy high-yielding overseas assets like US bonds, stocks, and crypto. As JPY yields rise, that trade reverses. The cost of borrowing JPY skyrockets, forcing global investors to sell off their overseas holdings—including $BTC and potentially $XRP—to repay expensive Yen debt. This repatriation event tightens global liquidity suddenly and violently. Prepare for increased short-to-medium term volatility. The easy money era is ending.

JAPAN RATE HIKE BOMBSHELL $BTC ALERT

BoJ decision Dec 18–19. This is NOT a drill. Japan is hiking rates. Carry trades are unwinding. Global liquidity is draining. Historically, $BTC retraces 42–77 days after these moves. A hike this week could trigger a short-term dip. The macro impact could be fading, but the risk remains for all high-risk assets. Position now or regret it.

🚨 $BTC Just Got a Reality Check! 🇯🇵

The initial Bitcoin dip wasn't what you think. Forget the instant institutional sell-off – that was fast-fingered retail and algorithms reacting to the Japan rate hike headline.

Here's the deeper play: for years, the Japanese Yen’s rock-bottom rates fueled the “Yen carry trade.” Institutions borrowed cheap Yen, bought $USD, and chased higher yields (stocks, bonds… even $BTC ).Now? The US is leaning towards rate *cuts* while Japan is raising theirs. This crushes the carry trade – making Yen funding pricier and $USDC returns less appealing. That’s the real pressure building, and it hits *later*.

Expect more twists in 2026 as Japan continues to hike and the Fed potentially cuts. Buckle up. 🚀

The initial Bitcoin dip wasn't what you think. It wasn’t institutions hitting the sell button – they move slower. It was retail and algorithms reacting *instantly* to the Japan rate hike news.

Here’s the play: for years, Japan’s super-low rates fueled the “Yen carry trade.” Institutions borrowed Yen, bought $USD, and invested in assets like stocks and… yes, $BTC .But now? The US is leaning towards rate *cuts* while Japan is raising theirs. This crushes the carry trade – making it expensive to fund and reducing returns.

🚀Japan's monetary policy meeting time for short-term and long-term market considerations, has the opportunity arrived?

1 First, let's talk about the chip structure -- not great. From the perspective of a solid market, it doesn't look comfortable enough.

2 The Japanese monetary policy meeting is a buying opportunity worth paying attention to. Note that I said opportunity; risk-sensitive money seeks certainty.

Let's first talk about Japan:
Why pay attention to the monetary policy meeting? It's not the general opinion of 0.75 on the market's impact. If executed as planned, there seems to be no problem, and it is fully digested. The focus is on whether there will be any unexpected issues.
Now let's talk about Japan and the US:
Under the trend of interest rate cuts, the dollar tends to weaken, and the pressure on the Japanese exchange rate is a positive trend, which is beneficial in the long term.

Now let's talk about liquidity:
Currently, there seems to be no major issues with market liquidity (when there are issues, I tweeted about it on November 4th, and if there are liquidity problems again, I will likely tweet about it), and the long-term trend of easing has begun. The logic of capital outflow is valid.

From a deleveraging perspective, there are two important time periods to note.
1 Clarity to eliminate unexpected issues.
2 The last market accumulation explosion of Carry Trade in August developed from July to August, and there are clues in the market, especially in the 24 hours before the explosion. This is not alarmist but a neutral statement. Previously, I discussed Carry Trade chip structures and other issues on Twitter; if interested, please look for it yourself, I won't elaborate further.

Summary:
1 Danger is an opportunity; the trend of quantitative easing coexists with crisis, and opportunity outweighs danger.
2 The unsightly chip structure is a fact, and the reopening dates of Europe and the US are also there.
3 As a left-side investor, the long-term trend is the key principle. This moment is worth focusing on, seeking crisis and short-term (three months) certainty, gradually looking for opportunities to build positions in escaping top chips.

The above does not constitute investment advice; it is a self-summary and sharing of knowledge and action. Different opinions are welcome for discussion.

Japan’s BOJ Just Dropped a Christmas Bomb: Rate Hikes Are Coming in 2026! 🔥
Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda went full “undercover boss” mode this week.
After 37 years of near-zero (and negative) rates – the longest “free money” era in history – he finally said it straight:
“Inflation is here, wages are rising, real rates are deeply negative. We’re done waiting. Rate hikes continue next year.”
Just a week ago he was still playing coy with “maybe, perhaps.” Now? Cards on the table – no more games.
The market reaction? Pure shock.
Wall Street carry trade kings who’ve been borrowing cheap yen for decades are scrambling. The legendary “yen funding pool” is closing shop.
No more easy arbitrage. Japanese assets are getting re-priced fast.
Big picture shift:
Stop asking “how low can the yen go?”
Start asking “how high will Japanese rates climb?”
This isn’t just a policy tweak. It’s the end of a 30+ year era – and the start of real volatility.
Global liquidity, carry trades, even risk assets like $BTC could feel the ripple.
Japan’s “Lying Flat King” just stood up. And he’s not going back to sleep.
Ready for what’s next? 👀

$BTC $ETH $SOL
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points at next week's meeting, with the probability rising to 90% based on positive inflation and wage growth data. Governor Ueda and Deputy Himino have reinforced these expectations by stating that discussions on a rate hike will be held. Political stability after the election and government support for the BoJ's independent decisions are also key factors.

The Japanese yen surged sharply, making it the best-performing G10 currency this week, driven by speculative position adjustments, despite increased USD/JPY volatility ahead of the decision.

Looking at previous events, Bitcoin pumped more than 10% before Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin conference on July 29, 2024 (US time: Night, July 28, 2024). Subsequently, the market peaked due to a "sell the news" reaction and a correction, worsened by the BoJ's rate hike of 0.25%, which forced foreign investors to sell their paper asset holdings in the market. Bitcoin’s market dropped 30% from its peak after that. The culmination occurred on August 5 with a carry trade event that triggered a 14% Bitcoin drop in a single day.

If history is likely to repeat itself, as retail crypto traders are already euphoric about Trump, signaling a temporary market peak. The BoJ has already hinted at a rate hike, with the right momentum expected after Trump’s inauguration. Bitcoin is projected to drop by 15% from its peak after the Trump event, with the carry trade peak anticipated on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 (assuming a similar scenario of a 5-day lag after the BoJ hike).

Predicted Dip Range: $88K – $92K

The Yen Carry Trade Is About To Snap BTC Below 50K
The quiet giant is stirring. All eyes are locked on the Bank of Japan’s upcoming policy decision, which now carries a near-certain 90% probability of a rate increase. This isn't just about Japan; it’s about the funding mechanism that fueled global risk-taking for decades.

With the 10-year yield hitting 17-year highs, the cost of holding the Yen Carry Trade is skyrocketing. This is the strategy where investors borrow ultra-cheap JPY to buy high-yielding assets—like US Treasuries, equities, and, most critically, $BTC .If the BoJ confirms the hike, that carry trade unwinds violently. We have seen this movie before. The last significant BoJ action triggered a historic $600 billion market collapse, driving $BTC down to $49,000 amidst a billion-dollar liquidation cascade.

While some argue market leverage has been cleaned out, the interconnectedness of global assets means even a modest strengthening of the yen will pressure every highly leveraged position worldwide. Traders must recognize this systemic risk before the floor drops out from under the market. Keep $ETH exposure tight.

Remember how Japan was a global ATM where you could take money almost for free?

The BOJ plans to raise the rate on December 19, and continue to do so in 2026. It's like if your richest billionaire friend suddenly decided to demand back all their debts, and with interest!

Markets react: panic, sell-off, clearance! Investors are closing "cheap" deals in yen, massively selling off risky assets around the world...

✨ Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone $BTC
Everything is going according to plan. A small pullback after a significant drop. The situation right now looks like the calm before the storm. After a sharp collapse on Monday (when BTC fell to levels around $85,000–$87,000), the market became locally oversold. Many traders and institutional investors (like ARK Invest's Cathie Wood, who recently bought in for $60 million) view such dips as an opportunity to enter. This creates a short-term upward impulse.
The market is aware of the BoJ meeting on December 19. Some capital has already exited the market earlier, so there is stabilization before the final announcement.
Summary
Today's rise is more of a local correction after the fall than the beginning of a new rally. The market is testing resistance levels, but the true direction for the upcoming week will be determined on Friday after the comments from BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda.
