Gold leads and BTC follows as USD/yen hits 163, Dan Tapiero notes
USD/yen intervention, high yields move BTC

Dan Tapiero, founder & CEO at 10T Holdings, highlights a shift in macroeconomic forces impacting Bitcoin and related assets.

He points to a USD/yen intervention at 163, with the Bessent line acting as a boundary. Tapiero notes a quiet policy shift as the USD TWI reaches a 50-year high, and Japanese government bond yields hit 3%, which is a 30-year high and considered attractive to local investors in yen terms. He further observes continued weakness in USD prices and increased USD liquidity, adding that gold's performance has led, with BTC following suit.

Tapiero recently described Ethereum as undervalued and positioned as a key platform for future finance in earlier commentary. He has also argued that blockchain’s future depends on tokenizing high-value and illiquid assets like real estate. Both views reflect Tapiero’s focus on infrastructure advancements and asset innovation in digital markets.
