Overview
Amid a depreciating yen, Japanese firms are increasingly turning to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and XRP to diversify their treasury reserves. SBI VC Trade has seen a surge in corporate accounts, now exceeding 2 million, reflecting this growing demand. This trend coincides with rising Japanese government bond yields, which are pushing up U.S. yields and may present headwinds for risk assets such as Bitcoin, potentially complicating the recent macroeconomic relief experienced by the crypto market.
