🎁Government bond yields in the world’s largest economies have reached heights not seen since the global financial crisis
🇯🇵Japan — 2.99% ↑, the highest level since 1996 🇬🇧United Kingdom — 5.08% ↑, a record since 2008 🇺🇸United States — 4.78% ↑, a peak since 2007 🇩🇪Germany — 3.32% ↑ 🇫🇷France — 4.17% ↑ 🇮🇹Italy — 4.15% ↑ 🇪🇸Spain — 3.77% ↑ 🇨🇦Canada — 3.74% ↑ 😔India — 6.95% ↑ 🇸🇬Singapore — 2.38% ↑ 🇲🇾Malaysia — 3.88% ↑

The strategy attracts capital through shares and bonds, buys BTC, then uses that BTC as collateral for the next round of fundraising — a closed loop that grows the position without selling coins.
At the same time, Saylor publicly argues for the right to store Bitcoin independently, while also legitimizing multi-layered claims on the same BTC — from shareholders to bondholders. In effect, the same coins serve multiple investor classes at the same time.

XRP ETFs are recording record inflows— the total inflow volume has reached a new all-time high in 2026.
At the same time, the price of XRP was unable to hold the gains: after rising to $1.70 last week, it then pulled back. A classic pattern—money goes into the ETF, but the spot price doesn’t follow. $XRP
