EconomyWhy Japan’s 3.8% bond shock is quietly setting a trap for Bitcoin
Japan’s latest 20-year government bond auction showed higher long-term borrowing costs, not collapsing demand. The average accepted yield rose to 3.856%, while bid coverage improved slightly and the yield tail narrowed, indicating orderly absorption. The auction alone does not show that a carry unwind has begun, but leveraged positions could face pressure if higher borrowing costs or a stronger yen coincide with weaker equities and crypto. The next test is the BOJ’s Sept. 17–18 meeting.
