Bank of Japan Raises Rates to 1% — What It Means for $BTC
The Bank of Japan just delivered a 25 basis point rate hike, pushing rates to their highest level in 31 years. This was fully priced in, but the impact on global liquidity flows is worth watching.
Higher Japanese rates could strengthen the yen and potentially trigger unwinding of carry trades, which historically adds pressure to risk assets like crypto. However, since the move was expected, we may see a relief rally if forward guidance remains dovish.
