Ciaran Lyons5 hours agoEmergency ‘wall of liquidity’ to prop up yen bullish for Bitcoin — SwanSwan Bitcoin’s Dante Cook suggests that Bitcoin could benefit from the declining Japanese yen, depending on what the U.S. and Japanese central banks do next.2171 Total views14 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Markets NewsOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTJoin us on social networksA declining Japanese yen may end up a “disaster” for United States Treasurys, which, in turn, could be a boon to Bitcoin as investors flock to alternative stores of value, according to an executive from Swan Bitcoin. 


At the time of publication, 1 yen is the equivalent of 0.0064 U.S. dollars, declining 2.39% over the past 30 days, according to Google Finance data.


“This spells disaster for Japan and the U.S. potentially, as Japan is the largest holder of U.S. Treasurys, only 4% of its forex reserves are in gold, the rest are almost exclusively in U.S. treasuries,” Swan Bitcoin head of business Dante Cook explained in a May 8 episode of Bitcoin Daily.


Cook believes that unless the U.S. government intervenes with swap lines — an agreement between two central banks to exchange currencies — or backdoor liquidity, Japan will be forced to sell its U.S. Treasurys “to prop up its currency.”


He argues that the sell-off might create uncertainty in traditional securities and lead to a “massive wall of liquidity” entering the market, which could benefit Bitcoin (BTC) as investors seek safer, alternative stores of value.


He explained that Bitcoin has already received a “wave of liquidity” from institutional investors since the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs in January.Cook speaking on the latest episode of Swan Bitcoin’s Bitcoin Daily. Source: Swan Bitcoin


Since its launch, the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen total net inflows of $11.78 billion, according to Farside data. Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,399, up 6.29% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap data.


Cook further argued that the current state of uncertainty in the traditional financial markets would lead to more people looking beyond Bitcoin and investing in riskier crypto altcoins.


“Because the money is broken, more and more people are turning to gambling,” he claimed.

On top of this, Cook pointed to VanEck, a spot Bitcoin ETF issuer, which hasn’t been performing “great in the ETF race” but recently announced its MarketVector Meme Coin Index.


“It’s kind of shocking that an institution would offer this to retail clients, but I guess it’s not at the same time,” he added, reiterating the uncertainty in traditional financial markets.


The Meme Coin Index is comprised of Dogecoin (DOGE) at 30%, Shiba Inu (SHIB) at 28%, Pepe (PEPE) at 14%, Dogwifhat (WIF) at 13%, Floki (FLOKI) at 7% and Bonk (BONK) at 6%.
