Bitcoin Rally Linked to Global Bond Market Stress, Says Analyst

Bitcoin’s recent upward momentum is drawing attention once again, with analysts debating the forces behind its ongoing strength.

While the asset is currently trading near $109,000, the broader narrative points beyond just price action.

According to André Dragosch, Head of European Research at Bitwise, the surge is less about hype and more about shifting dynamics in traditional finance—specifically in Japan’s bond market.

He points to a record 3.185% yield on 30-year Japanese government bonds as of May 20, signaling deepening investor anxiety about fiscal stability.

“Bonds are supposed to be safe, but when yields spike like this, it’s a warning sign,” Dragosch explained. “Investors begin to question a country’s ability to manage its debt. That’s when Bitcoin, with no counterparty or sovereign ties, starts to look attractive.”

While some speculate that geopolitical moves—like recent ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine—may have also contributed to positive sentiment, Dragosch sees Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against sovereign risk gaining serious traction.

If fears around government debt sustainability continue to spread beyond Japan, he believes Bitcoin’s appeal could grow significantly—potentially pushing its price toward the $200,000 mark in the long run.
