The World's Biggest Creditor Is About To Dump 3 Trillion Dollars
The quiet giant is finally stirring. Japan’s 10-Year JGB yield just spiked to levels not seen since 2007, marking the largest bond repricing in modern history. This seismic event is unfolding while Japan simultaneously runs a 255% debt-to-GDP ratio and attempts major fiscal expansion. The financial gravity is immense; every 100 basis points of yield increase adds trillions to their debt service cost. The math simply doesn't work.
The critical piece is the $20 trillion Yen carry trade—the global bet that Japanese rates would stay near zero forever. That assumption is dead. As this massive trade unwinds, the implications cascade globally. Japan, the world’s largest creditor nation, holds $3 trillion in foreign assets. If they are forced to liquidate even a fraction of that portfolio to service their skyrocketing debt, the resulting market dislocation will dwarf any recent crisis.
This is not a regional problem; this is a systemic shock to global liquidity. When trillions in traditional capital are forced to move, the flight to genuinely scarce assets accelerates. $BTC and $ETH are the ultimate escape valves for capital seeking refuge from sovereign debt crises and forced selling events. The era of cheap money that fueled the last decade is over, and the consequences are arriving fast.
This is not financial advice.
