What was the problem in the first place? (A brief explanation)
Well, let's get to the heart of this news. Bitcoin fans often say, "BTC is a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks!" as if they were superheroes. But China$71 billion (about 7 trillion yen!)The news of the sale of U.S. Treasury bonds is shaking things up.
Imagine you're the owner of a beef bowl restaurant, and you want to serve cheap, fast, and delicious food. But if you make it cheaper, the cost of ingredients will rise, and you won't be able to make it as quickly... This is the blockchain "trilemma." It's difficult to simultaneously achieve three goals: cheap (low cost), fast (high-speed processing), and secure (safety). The Bitcoin narrative emphasizes that it's "safe and serves as a hedge," but the reality is that central banks are seriously tracking "exchange rates (FX) and real yields." Bitcoin, by comparison, is highly volatile, which raises the question of whether it's really a hedge.
To put it jokingly, central banks are in the "adult" world of money, while Bitcoin is still like a "teenager." They party hard, but they can't go against the rules of their parents (the central bank). The news points out that China's selling is causing the dollar to weaken and interest rates to rise, but the price of Bitcoin is not easily linked to that, creating a gap. If you have to present this system to your boss, I recommend using a document creation AI. Gamma Just leave it to us and we'll create your slides in no time!
In short, this gap is evidence that the Bitcoin story has not caught up with the real financial system. Beginners will realize at this point, "Wow, BTC has such weaknesses." Now, let's dig deeper into the technical details.
Tech Dissection: A Peek into Mechanics and Tokenomics

Let's break down how Bitcoin works. Bitcoin runs on the blockchain, but what this news highlights is the issue of "narrative vs reality." The narrative is the story behind Bitcoin's "store of value." However, central bank actions (e.g., selling U.S. Treasury bonds) are based on real yields and FX fluctuations.
Breaking down the terminology,Real yieldis like "the true profitability of money." It's the yield after deducting inflation, and central banks make policy decisions with this in mind. Bitcoin's tokenomics (money flow) limits supply through mining rewards and halvings, making it highly scarce. In other words, from the perspective of "who will profit?", investors who hold on to their holdings will profit from rising prices, but big players like central banks aren't swayed by such a narrative. Bitcoin is bought and sold on exchanges, but there are cases where it's not possible to fully hedge against exchange rate risk.
To use an analogy, Bitcoin is like "money in a safe," while central banks hold the "rulebook for international trade." The news pointed out the gap between China's selling, which is lowering the value of the dollar, and Bitcoin's price moving independently. It's a joke, but is the relationship like "BTC is the DJ at a party, and the central bank is the owner of the party"?
Digging a little deeper, Bitcoin's consensus is based on Proof of Work (PoW), which consumes energy but is secure. Central bank systems use traditional ledgers, which are fast but centralized. Tokenomics-wise, the total supply of BTC is fixed at 2100 million, making it highly resistant to inflation. However, when prices fluctuate due to geopolitical events like the recent news, the limits of hedging become apparent.
▼Comparison with rivals (how did you win or lose?)
| Item | Traditional assets (e.g., U.S. Treasury bonds) | Bitcoin |
|---|---|---|
| Hedging effect | Sensitive to exchange rates and yields (stable) | High volatility (depending on the narrative) |
| Liquidity | Central bank control (high) | 24/7 trading (flexible but volatile) |
| risk | Large geopolitical impact (changes due to sales) | Regulatory risk (although technically interesting) |
Looking at this chart, Bitcoin excels in speed and flexibility, but tends to lose out to traditional assets in stability. News sell-offs highlight this gap. Now let's look at the practical side.
So, what can it be used for? (Impact on the market)
So, let's consider how this news will affect the market from a user's perspective. First, let's look at it from a developer's perspective. For those who believe in the Bitcoin narrative and are building DeFi apps, the "hedge" selling point may be questionable. However, from a technical perspective, Bitcoin's decentralization is a strength. For example, when traditional markets are shaken by events like the Chinese sell-off, BTC may move independently.
Next, we have the trader's story. You might be thinking, "Hey, if the $71 billion sale weakens the dollar, why not buy BTC?" However, news reports point out that fluctuations in real yields haven't kept up with the BTC price. It's a joke, but it's like "traders are gamblers in a casino, and central banks are dealers." The market impact may be an increase in BTC volatility in the short term. What's interesting from a technical perspective is that this gap could be the catalyst for the creation of new DeFi protocols.
From a long-term investor's perspective, this news is a chance for those who hold on to their money to reconsider. Bitcoin is noteworthy as an inflation hedge, but the reality of central banks cannot be ignored. To put it in user story terms, it's something like, "I've been storing my BTC in a safe, but after seeing the news of China's selloff, I've started thinking about diversifying my investments so I don't get caught up in the central bank FX game."

Act quickly! Actions you can take today
🐣 Level 1: Start by gathering information (research)
Add official news sites and chart tools to your watchlist. Read articles on CryptoSlate and take notes on the relationship between U.S. Treasury bonds and BTC. Beginners can start by tracking BTC price fluctuations on CoinMarketCap. *We strongly recommend that Japanese residents use domestic exchanges registered with the Financial Services Agency. Overseas exchanges may not be protected by Japanese laws and regulations.
🦅 Level 2: Try it out (On-Chain)
Simulate Bitcoin transactions on the testnet. Try small swaps on a DEX (at your own risk). Check the rates with DeFi tools to understand the impact of real yields. For those who find it difficult to read English documentation, or who find it takes up the whole day just reading English instructions...Nolang Save time by having them create an explanatory video for you.
What will happen after 2026? (including fantasy)
What do you think will happen to Bitcoin after 2026? I'll explore this issue based on the latest news and my own speculations. First, as an objective fact, if events like China's selloff increase, central bank actions may be more likely to affect the Bitcoin market. Technological advances will see the advancement of Layer 2 solutions, improving Bitcoin's scalability. The hedging narrative is likely to become even stronger.
Time for some fantasy! If central banks were to fully implement CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), Bitcoin might shine as an "anti-establishment hero." However, there's also the ridiculous scenario of stricter regulations causing a price crash. What's noteworthy is that the integration of AI will lead to an increase in currency forecasting tools. I think that in 2026, BTC ETFs will become even more popular, bridging the gap with traditional finance.
⚠️ Just be careful here!
Don't forget the risk of hacking and the possibility of "rug-pull" (running away with your money). There are also significant legal risks! *For Japanese residents, we strongly recommend using domestic exchanges registered with the Financial Services Agency. Overseas exchanges run the risk of not being protected by Japanese laws. Be sure to practice "DYOR."
