QCP Capital: Bitcoin Remains Under Pressure Amid Geopolitical Tensions

  • Japanese bond yields hit their highest level since 1999.
  • The US imposed tariffs on EU countries that opposed tighter control over Greenland.
  • Against this backdrop, Bitcoin is trading below $90,000, remaining sensitive to geopolitical tensions, QCP Capital stated.

Financial markets have shifted into risk-off mode amid rising geopolitical tensions. The current situation is also weighing on bitcoin, said QCP Capital analysts.

According to them, the yield on Japan’s 10-year government bonds rose to 2.29% — the highest level since 1999. This has heightened concerns about the sustainability of the country’s public finances, where government debt exceeds 240% of GDP, the note said.

In addition, the US announced new tariffs targeting eight European countries that spoke out against increased US control over Greenland. The initial 10% tariff will take effect on February 1, and could rise to 25% by summer. In response, the EU threatened to freeze ratification of the trade agreement reached in July, QCP Capital added.

The analysts noted that amid the broader drop in risk appetite, bitcoin is not behaving like a safe-haven asset. In their view, the leading cryptocurrency is acting like a high-volatility asset that is highly sensitive to rate changes and the geopolitical backdrop.

At the time of writing, bitcoin is trading near $89,000:

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
