Japanese Government Bond Yields Hit Nearly 30-Year High, Fiscal Expansion Space Under Pressure
Japan's 10-year government bond yield briefly rose to 2.945% this week, marking a nearly 30-year high and approaching the critical 3% level assumed in the Japanese government's budget. Rising yields are increasing pressure on government debt servicing, undermining Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's room to pursue large-scale fiscal expansion and growth investment. The Japanese government has allocated 31 trillion yen for debt servicing in the current fiscal year; if long-term yields remain above 3%, debt financing costs could significantly exceed the budget.

10x Research: Bitcoin's True Investment Thesis May Lie in Space Infrastructure and Decentralized Computing
10x Research released a report stating that the market generally believes Bitcoin's core value lies in hedging against currency debasement, but this is not its true investment thesis. The report argues that the core constraint facing decentralized currency is not monetary policy, but physical conditions, including energy, heat dissipation, and geographical jurisdictional limitations.The report points out that with the development of space infrastructure, the constraints of heat, electricity, and geographical limitations faced by data centers could be alleviated in orbital environments. The connection between SpaceX, Starlink, and Bitcoin may represent a long-term strategic layout centered around future infrastructure construction.10x Research believes that technologies such as satellites, encryption technology, and artificial intelligence can both promote the decentralization of power and potentially reinforce resource concentration. The world is competing around two sets of infrastructure systems.The report also compares Bitcoin with China's digital yuan, suggesting they represent different paths for digital infrastructure. It also notes that as populations gradually move away from traditional network systems, the business models of companies like Palantir may also be affected.

Variational Founder Discloses Pro Version Details: Will Focus on Institutional OTC Derivatives Market
Odaily report: Variational founder and CEO Lucas Schuermann participated in an X Space event hosted by The Rollup founder Andy last night, during which Lucas disclosed some details about Variational Pro. The community's key takeaways are as follows:1. Variational Pro will focus on the institutional OTC derivatives market, covering options, interest rates, foreign exchange (FX), and structured products. OTC derivatives are one of the largest financial markets globally, with outstanding notional value of approximately $850 trillion, while Bitcoin derivatives open interest stands at around $100 billion. Although the two use different statistical methodologies, this is enough to give you an intuitive sense of the scale gap.2. Variational Pro's business scale will ultimately surpass Variational Omni. Traditional OTC derivatives trading methods remain outdated (requiring calls to bank trading desks for quotes, manual price negotiation, back-and-forth contract exchanges, managing collateral and counterparty risk, and manual execution of clearing and settlement processes). Variational Pro aims to automate this process through multi-dealer request-for-quote (RFQ), smart contracts, and stablecoin settlement.3. Some of Variational Pro's trading instruments (including options) may eventually be opened to retail users on Variational Omni. Currently, Variational has partnered with several mainstream institutional partners, and large clients are expected to onboard Variational Pro soon.
