JAPAN RATE HIKE: THREAT TO THE CRYPTO MARKET?

Bank of Japan (BOJ) has increased interest rates to 0.75% - the highest in 30 years! But why is this news important for a crypto investor?

MAIN IMPACT ON CRYPTO:

• YEN CARRY TRADE UNWIND: People used to borrow cheap Yen to invest in Bitcoin and Stocks. Now, with rising rates, this "Cheap Money" is ending, which could lead to selling pressure.

• LIQUIDITY SHOCK: Japan is an engine of global liquidity. When the engine slows down, risk assets like Bitcoin are the first to react.

• HISTORICAL PATTERN: The last time the BOJ raised rates, a 20-30% dip was observed in BTC.

Will history repeat itself ?
