Negative yields translate to a subtle form of bail-in, where depositors/account holders are taxed for parking their money. Negative yields also completely dismantle the capital asset pricing models, rendering future valuation and risk assessment as useless. As a result, asset bubbles are forming globally, and the concept of "riskless return" is obsolete.
Economics textbooks have to be re-written, as we live in a financial world which is upside down--literally. These "extraordinary" monetary interventions are unprecedented and will no doubt end in tears.
