Rate hikes reduce liquidity and negatively impact risk assets, with Bitcoin still not seen as a reliable inflation hedge by institutions.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing US-Iran tensions are keeping energy prices high, which in turn raises inflation expectations and reduces the likelihood of rate cuts, affecting crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, President Trump\u2019s NATO summit comments about Spain risking US trade could slow global economic activity, prompting capital to retreat to safer investments and leading to a sell-off of speculative assets.<\/p>\n\n<p>(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\/markets\/interest-rates\/cme-fedwatch-tool.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOURCE: CMEgroup.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2>Japan\u2019s Bond Market: A Contagion Risk That Most Retail Traders Are Underweighting<\/h2>\n<p>Japan\u2019s 10-year government bond yield has reached a 30-year high, driven by the government\u2019s efforts to modify the Bank of Japan\u2019s policy. This move is perceived as political interference in the central bank\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n<p>Japan, as the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries, may see its institutions shift away from lower-yielding US debt as domestic yields rise. Such a rotation could pressure US bond prices and elevate yields, thereby tightening global financial conditions and impacting risk-asset valuations, including Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, Japan\u2019s bond market is a major reservoir of capital; any shifts can create rapid ripple effects across interconnected markets. The uncertainty around the Bank of Japan\u2019s independence has prompted markets to de-risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-meme-coin-icos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Strategy\u2019s $216M Bitcoin Sale: Why This One Hit Different<\/h2>\n<p>For 4 years, Strategy&#8217;s narrative was simple.
