Macroeconomic pressures intensify due to rising bond yields and concerns over rate hikes
The outlook for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, faces significant headwinds as macroeconomic factors turn unfavorable. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has surpassed key psychological and policy levels, reaching 4.530%. This makes government debt more attractive and increases the opportunity cost of holding yieldless assets like Bitcoin. Meanwhile, market consensus is shifting toward expectations of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, which will tighten global liquidity and generally reduce capital flows into speculative markets. These combined pressures suggest a challenging short-term environment for digital asset valuations.
Institutional ETF holdings show different strategies
Q1 13F filings reveal increasing divergence among major institutions in their approaches to investing in cryptocurrency ETFs. Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala demonstrated bullish confidence by increasing its stake in BlackRock’s IBIT by over $90 million. In contrast, Harvard University’s endowment significantly reduced its IBIT position by 43% and completely sold its Ethereum ETF holdings. This divergence indicates that while some large entities are accumulating, others are actively reducing risk or taking profits. Banks like RBC and Barclays are more frequently using options for hedging, further illustrating market maturity—mature participants now manage risk rather than simply betting long.
Major Japanese brokerages to launch internal cryptocurrency investment funds
Japan’s two largest online brokerages, SBI Securities and Rakuten Securities, are developing their own cryptocurrency investment funds to offer directly to retail clients.

By significantly lowering entry barriers, this initiative could unlock a large influx of retail capital from one of the world’s largest investment markets. Supported by pending regulatory changes, this development represents a key structural catalyst for cryptocurrency adoption in Japan.
