The three risks that could overwhelm bitcoin's regulatory tailwind

This is an excerpt from CoinDesk newsletter 'Daybook.' Sign up here, if you haven't already.

The crypto market is caught between a promising regulatory moment and a deteriorating macro backdrop. The Clarity Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee last week, offering the industry its clearest path yet to a comprehensive U.S. regulatory framework.

But shenanigans in traditional markets, mainly volatility in Treasury notes, swings in the dollar-yen exchange rate and the price of oil, are pointing in the other direction.

For a start, U.S. Treasury yields are not just rising, but looking volatile. The ICE BofA MOVE index, which measures volatility in Treasuries, jumped 14.7% to 79.87 on Friday, its highest level since April 7 and its biggest single-day increase since March 26, according to TradingView data. Treasury notes underpin global finance and serve as the primary collateral in lending markets worldwide. When they swing sharply, it discourages risk-taking and triggers broad-based selling across asset classes.

A second risk is the yen. The Japanese currency has weakened from 155 per dollar to nearly 159 per dollar in recent days, nearing the 160 level that has historically prompted the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to take action to stall the slide. A potential BOJ intervention would strengthen the yen, forcing an unwind of risk-on carry trades funded by yen borrowing.

"USD/JPY at 158 to 159 is edging toward the psychologically important 160 level, where intervention risk increases and crowded yen-carry positions could begin to unwind sharply, potentially draining a key source of global liquidity that has been supportive of risk assets," Singapore-based QCP Capital said in a daily note.

Together, these three risks are a reminder that macro forces can overwhelm even the most positive regulatory catalysts. Right now, macro is winning.

India just made it significantly harder to bring silver into the country. Starting May 16, 2026, high-purity silver bars, those with 99.9% purity or higher, have been reclassified from “Free” to “Restricted” under the country’s trade policy. The practical effect: more than 90% of silver imports now require a government-issued license.

The move, implemented by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), is part of a broader effort to stem foreign exchange outflows at a time when the rupee is under pressure from geopolitical turmoil and rising energy costs.

The restriction targets silver bars classified under ITC HS Codes 71069221 and 71069229. Previously, importers could bring in these bars without any special authorization. Now they need a license, which means bureaucratic gatekeeping on a commodity that India imports in massive quantities.

The licensing requirement doesn’t apply to everyone equally. Exemptions exist for 100% Export Oriented Units (EOUs), Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and imports tied to export promotion schemes. In other words, if you’re importing silver to make something that gets sold abroad, Delhi is fine with that. It’s the imports that stay domestic, pulling hard currency out of the country, that the government wants to throttle.

This reclassification didn’t happen in isolation. Just days earlier, on May 12, 2026, India hiked import duties on both gold and silver from 6% to 15%. An additional 3% Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) on bullion imports was also applied. Combined with the new licensing rules, the effective cost of importing silver into India has jumped dramatically in the span of a single week.

India’s currency has been sliding, squeezed by a combination of factors including rising energy costs linked to geopolitical tensions. India, as one of the world’s l
