🚨 Japan’s Bond Market Is Flashing Red
watch these top trending coins closely
$PTB | $PIEVERSE | $VIRTUAL
Japan’s bond market is under serious stress. The 10-year government bond yield has jumped to 2.12%, the highest level since 1999. Even more shocking, the 30-year yield has surged to 3.46%, the highest ever recorded. These moves are not normal — they signal a major shift happening fast.
Since the start of 2025, yields have exploded higher, rising more than 100 basis points in a short time. This is one of the most dramatic repricing events in Japan’s bond market history. Investors are reacting to a record $780 billion government budget for 2026, which means more debt, bigger deficits, and higher borrowing needs.
At the same time, the yen keeps weakening, raising fears that inflation is not under control. Many now believe the Bank of Japan is behind the curve. Bond prices are falling, losses are growing, and pressure is building. This is no longer a warning — the damage is already happening.
$NEIRO Bank of America recommends 4% Bitcoin allocation :-
📌 Key Points of the Recommendation
📊 1–4% Allocation Range
BofA’s guidance suggests a 1%–4% portfolio allocation to Bitcoin and similar crypto exposure for clients who are comfortable with high volatility and thematic innovation.
The upper end of ~4% is positioned as a modest satellite allocation, not a core holding.
💼 Who It Applies To
This guidance is aimed at wealth management clients served through BofA’s Merrill Lynch, Bank of America Private Bank, and Merrill Edge advisory platforms.
More than 15,000 financial advisors at the bank can now proactively recommend such allocations — a change from prior policy where crypto exposure could only be added if the client initiated it.
📈 How Exposure Is Structured
The bank is recommending exposure via regulated spot Bitcoin ETFs rather than direct crypto ownership.
Covered ETFs include major funds from issuers like BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, and Grayscale.
⚖️ Risk Framing
BofA frames this as a risk-managed, thematic allocation, suitable for investors who understand and can tolerate significant price swings.
The 1% lower bound is suggested for more conservative clients, while up to ~4% may suit those with higher risk tolerance.
📊 Why It Matters
This recommendation is part of a broader institutional trend where major financial firms — e.g., Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, and Vanguard — are also opening the door to modest crypto allocations in client portfolios.
It signals growing mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin as a diversifier or speculative satellite asset (not a replacement for stocks/bonds).

As we welcome the new year, we also conclude all markets for 2025 on @Polymarket.
The decentralized framework of UMA, comprising proposers, disputers, and verifiers, was fully operational.
On January 1st, between 12 AM and 2 AM ET, a total of 1,175 proposals were put forward.
This amounted to approximately $880,000 in proposal bonds secured simultaneously.
Out of these, 15 proposals were contested, representing 1.2%, while only three were found to be incorrect, which is about 0.26%.
During the window from 12:00 to 12:05 AM, there were 500 proposals submitted, followed by 226 proposals between 12:05 and 12:10 AM.
Following this initial surge, the volume of proposals returned to a more typical pattern. This illustrates not just an impressive speed of response but also highlights the strong capital backing of the proposers and the scalability of UMA’s architecture.
Happy New Year!
UMA.

🏦 BOJ Signals Continued Rate Hikes
Japan’s central bank — the Bank of Japan (BOJ) — has signaled that its cycle of interest rate increases is far from over. Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that policymakers are prepared to raise rates further if inflation and economic conditions continue to improve.
📊 Recent Policy Moves
In December 2025, the BOJ raised its policy rate to 0.75%, the highest level in about 30 years, marking a notable shift from decades of ultra-loose monetary policy.
Ueda’s recent comments — delivered at a bankers’ conference — reiterated the stance that rates will keep rising if the economy and price trends align with forecasts.
📈 Why This Matters
The BOJ’s guidance reflects persistent inflation pressures with consumer prices above the central bank’s 2% target for years, even as real interest rates remain negative.
Markets are interpreting this as a clear monetary “normalization” — a rare pivot away from Japan’s long era of stimulus.
Japanese government bond yields have risen sharply in response, with the 10-year JGB yield briefly hitting multi-decade highs, signaling expectations for continued tightening.
📌 Broader Impacts
A stronger yen (or reduced weakness) and higher yields could influence global capital flows and impact asset markets, including equities and carry trades linked to the yen.
Continued rate increases would mark a more hawkish stance among major central banks, contrasting with easing cycles in some other economies.

🔥 What happened
Turkish crypto exchange BtcTurk was hit by hackers, resulting in **about $48 million worth of digital assets drained from its hot wallets in a coordinated breach targeting multiple blockchain networks.
The attackers moved stolen funds across chains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Polygon and consolidated them into a single address — possibly for laundering or further transfers.
This marks another major security incident for BtcTurk, following previous large losses at the platform over the last couple of years.
💡 Exchange response
BtcTurk temporarily halted deposits and withdrawals as it investigates the breach and shores up defenses.
The company says most user assets remain safe because the majority are held in offline cold wallets, not connected to the internet.
🛡️ Broader impact & risks
Security experts warn that such hacks not only cause direct financial loss but may also lead to secondary scams — malicious actors posing as support to trick users during the confusion.
Repeated breaches at the same exchange raise concerns about its risk management and security posture compared with more established global platforms.
🔎 Crypto ecosystem context
Hacks like this are part of a broader trend of security incidents in the crypto space, where exchanges and protocols remain frequent targets for sophisticated attackers.
