#JapanBondMarketSell-Off

A New Test for Global Markets Begins!
The global economy has entered 2026 with a seismic shift. The historic sell-off in the Japanese Government Bond (JGB) market is echoing far beyond Tokyo, impacting everything from Wall Street to the crypto ecosystem.
The Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) interest rate policy shift—the first in decades—is fundamentally reshaping global liquidity flows. At Gate.io, we are putting the effects of this macroeconomic storm on digital assets under the microscope!
What’s Happening? (Key Developments)
1. The End of Yield Curve Control: As the BoJ relaxes its grip on the yield curve, 10-year Japanese bond yields have surged to multi-year highs. This is forcing "cheap Yen" liquidity, which has fueled global markets for years, to return home.
2. The Unwinding of the Carry Trade: Investors exiting risky assets (stocks and certain cryptocurrencies) previously funded by low-interest Yen have triggered a wave of short-term global volatility.
3. The Search for a Safe Haven: This chaos in bond markets is driving investors back toward "limited supply" assets. Are Bitcoin and Gold set to shine once again amidst this erosion of trust in fiat currencies?
