Bitcoin Sinks as Yen Carry Trade Unwinds XRP\u2019s losses coincided with bitcoin (BTC) dropping below $80k for the first time since March 11. US tariffs and slow progress toward the Bitcoin Act weighed on sentiment. Higher tariffs may drive inflationary pressures, supporting a more hawkish Fed stance. Rising borrowing costs affect demand for risk assets. Notably, the USD\/JPY dropped below 145 in early trading on Monday, April 7, raising concerns about a renewed Yen carry trade unwind. In a carry trade, investors take advantage of Japan\u2019s low interest rates, borrowing Japanese Yen (funding currency) to invest in higher-yielding assets, typically with leverage, to boost returns. A Yen carry trade unwind in 2024 resulted from the BoJ\u2019s policy shift and Yen appreciation. In August 2024, BTC fell 8.85% amid post-BoJ volatility. As of April 2025, the USD\/JPY has tumbled 3.23% to 145.108, its lowest level since the carry trade unwind, with BTC down 6.29%. Trump\u2019s tariff actions have triggered a flight to safety boosting demand for the Yen, and accelerating the market sell-off.
