Metaplanet Inc. has completed the early redemption and full repayment of its 9th Series of Ordinary Bonds. The repayment totals ¥2 billion ($13.5 million), the company announced on April 7. Originally set to mature in September 2025, the bonds were issued to EVO FUND on March 18 without interest. The company had previously redeemed ¥1.5 billion of the bonds on March 27, citing proceeds from the exercise of stock acquisition rights issued through third-party allotments. Metaplanet Inc., formerly known as Red Planet Japan, is a Japanese company that has pivoted to become a Bitcoin treasury firm. It focuses on accumulating and managing Bitcoin ( BTC ) as its core asset and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The remaining ¥500 million balance was settled on April 4, marking the full closure of the bond issuance. Metaplanet confirmed that funds for the redemption were sourced from EVO FUND’s payment during the exercise of the company’s 13th to 17th series of stock acquisition rights. Since the bonds carried no interest, the company expects the financial impact on its 2025 results to be minimal. Metaplanet acquired 160 additional Bitcoin on April 2 at an average price of $80,063 per BTC. The purchase, worth approximately $13.39 million, brought the company’s total holdings to 4,206 BTC as part of its ongoing treasury strategy. Metaplanet’s long-term objective is to hold 21,000 BTC by 2026. It wants to have over 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, establishing itself as Asia’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.

Escalating recession fears rocked global financial markets Monday, evoking the ghost of 2008 for traders as crypto markets shed over $100 billion in value since April began. Bitcoin retreated below $79,000, currently near $75,700, while Ethereum tested $1,600. The sharp downturn follows President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff implementation, combined with Goldman Sachs reportedly hiking its U.S. recession probability to 45% . Increased risk aversion sent investors fleeing assets perceived as vulnerable to an economic slowdown. The Dow plunged late last week, and digital assets followed suit Monday as recession anxiety intensified, reflected in soaring Google searches for the term. Signs of panic emerged, including whale activity. Lookonchain data showed a Bitcoin whale realizing a $2.53 million loss after dumping 778.5 BTC (~$64 million) on Binance, having misjudged the market bottom – selling just before Monday’s deeper crash fueled by recession fears. Amidst the chaos, a theory suggests the tariff timing might be strategic. Some analysts point out that spooking markets could drive investors into U.S. bonds, lowering yields and potentially helping refinance America’s $7 trillion debt load more cheaply ahead of a potential recession.

It must establish higher lows, similar to its pattern in late 2023, to demonstrate resilience. Failure to hold current levels could see altcoins nosedive further. While some hope for a cleansing dip, Bitcoin’s reaction to recession pressure remains key. With recession concerns mounting, focus shifts to the Federal Reserve. Traders must closely monitor bond yields for signs of stress and watch for any potential emergency rate cuts or Quantitative Easing (QE) from the Fed aimed at countering recession risks.

Crypto markets have dumped 10% in less than 24 hours as more than $240 billion exited the space. Meanwhile, stock market futures are down 15% in three days “like we are in a depression,” commented the Kobeissi letter on April 7. Oil prices are trading below $60, “like demand has collapsed,” gold prices are down $180 in two sessions, “like there’s a flight to cash,” and bond prices are skyrocketing, “like the economy has halted,” it added. “Sentiment is down to March 2020 levels like we are entering a lockdown. This is a mass flight to the sidelines.” Almost five years ago, in March 2020, crypto markets dumped almost 50% in around a week as the world went into lockdown. Fast-forward to 2025, and around half a trillion dollars—more than double the entire crypto market cap in March 2020—has left the space over the past month … and almost half of that has exited over the past 24 hours. “Bearish sentiment is arguably near its highest levels in history,” Kobeissi stated before adding that “Black Monday” has become the consensus view amid tariff uncertainty. “It would take a lot to not see at least short-term capitulation this week.” It added that today’s drop in US stock market futures puts S&P 500 futures down by 22% and in bear market territory. The US stock market has now erased an average of $400 billion per trading day for 32 straight days, it revealed. On Friday, investors were hopeful of signs of a trade deal this weekend. However, it was complete silence that occurred, “and markets hated it.” When Trump was questioned about the massive sell-off , he said, “Sometimes you have to take medicine.” Meanwhile, stock markets across Asia have opened with double-digit declines as trading resumed this Monday. Many of them hit “circuit breakers,” which are protection mechanisms to pause trading to prevent capitulation events. Economist and investor Raoul Pal called it “the delicious smell of peak fear on Sunday and Monday,” adding , “This too shall pass.” “I hope you are ready to look for spare cash under the sofa to add very, very soon. In a bull market, such opportunities are a gift.” However, few would agree with his bull market observation after such a violent sell-off, especially crypto investors.

UBS has urged investors to remain steady during recent market turbulence, offering three core rationales to support continued confidence despite escalating volatility. In a note issued April 3, the bank’s U.S. editorial team pointed to historical resilience of market downturns, the protective benefits of a liquidity strategy, and the tactical opportunities presented by heightened price swings. First, UBS emphasized that while painful, market sell-offs are generally temporary. The firm highlighted that market declines of over 10% are considered corrections, while drops beyond 20% constitute bear markets. The S&P 500 is currently in correction territory, but UBS advised investors to plan for the possibility of a bear market. The bank detailed: During bear markets since World War II, the S&P 500 fell an average of 32% from peak to trough, and it took an average of three years before reaching a new all-time high. Those with diversified holdings saw smaller losses; a 60/40 stock-bond mix declined an average of 19%, recovering in approximately two years and three months. Next, UBS explained the importance of a liquidity strategy to prevent lasting losses during market downturns. “With this financial cushion, we can maintain our lifestyle comfortably while we wait for markets to recover,” the firm stated. “A well-funded liquidity strategy—holding enough cash, bonds, and borrowing capacity to cover spending needs for the next 3–5 years—is enough to fully insulate our day-to-day spending from market volatility.” UBS added: “Tapping into the liquidity strategy instead of liquidating investments at ‘bear market prices’ can help us to avoid the risk of permanently locking in losses.” Lastly, UBS encouraged clients to view volatility as a chance to act strategically. This includes portfolio rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting. The bank shared: Volatility tends to improve the risk/return profile of options strategies and structured investments, allowing you to potentially increase your portfolio’s yield and/or growth potential while maintaining protection against potential losses. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
