#BitMEX analyst Shang Wu thinks the bond market is not just going through normal panic. He sees a structural shift. Government bonds were treated as safe
#assets for decades, but now even they look vulnerable under debt, inflation and rising yields.
📌 What’s happening
— US 30-year Treasury yield moved above 5.14%
— Japan’s 10-year government bond yield reached 2.8%
— US national debt is now above $39T
— The war in Iran, higher energy prices and new spending are adding more pressure
Wu’s point is simple: these yields are hard to sustain for long. If rates stay high, debt becomes much more expensive to service. And when debt is measured in tens of trillions, that quickly becomes a problem for the whole budget.
🧠 Why it matters
Normally, central banks use high rates to cool inflation. Borrowing gets more expensive, demand slows down and markets cool off. But now the situation is different: very high rates may not fix the problem, they may simply make government debt too expensive to carry.
Wu says central banks are basically cornered. They have to choose between a debt crisis and currency debasement. In plain terms: keep rates high and risk breaking the bond market, or add
#liquidity again and weaken the currency.
📌 Where Bitcoin fits
For BTC, this does not mean price must go straight up tomorrow. Short term can still be messy: oil, inflation, yields, war headlines and sharp market moves can easily pressure risk assets.
But long term, this backdrop strengthens Bitcoin’s core argument. It cannot be printed, expanded by government decision or “rescued” through another round of money creation. That is why, if trust in old safe assets keeps weakening, demand for BTC can grow.
⚠️ How they may do it quietly
Wu and other macro analysts think governments may avoid calling it direct money printing. Instead, they could use softer tools: yield control, government debt buybacks or quiet liquidity injections.
In practice, money can return to the system under a different name. For markets, that still matters. If liquidity starts rising again, Bitcoin can become one of the main winners.
📌 Bottom line
In this logic, a Bitcoin supercycle is not born from hype. It comes from weakness in the old financial system. If bonds keep cracking and currencies keep getting diluted to save debt markets, demand for hard assets can keep rising.
