The Era of Interest Rate Hikes in Japan Begins, Crypto Market Volatility Intensifies, Detailed Explanation of Arbitrage Strategies
The Bank of Japan has already raised interest rates twice since ending its negative interest rate policy in 2024, and the current rate is about 0.5%. The latest news confirms that at the meeting on December 18-19, 2025, it will likely raise rates again to 0.75% (the highest point in 30 years). This is not a small matter, as Japan is the third-largest economy in the world, and its interest rate hikes will create ripples globally, like throwing a stone into a pond. Below, I will briefly discuss the impacts.
The yen is strengthening, and export companies are crying: interest rate hikes have caused the yen to appreciate (because more people want to hold yen to earn interest), making Japanese exports (such as cars and electronics) more expensive and reducing competitiveness. Companies like Toyota and Sony may see reduced profits, and the Japanese economy may slow down in the short term (with negative GDP growth already in the third quarter of 2025). However, it's a bit better for the Japanese people, as imported goods (like oil and food) have become cheaper, reducing inflation pressure.
Brothers, there are two airdrops today, do we need to deduct 60 points? 🙃
1️⃣ AgentLISA (LISA) 🕑 18:00 opens for the distribution of 230 tokens ✅ 235 points first come first served (deducting 5 points every 5 minutes) 📕 The project is an "AI Security" used for automatic auditing of smart contracts: it quickly identifies contract logic vulnerabilities using multiple agents + large models, saving developers and auditors a lot of time. The goal is to transform security from "manual slow audits" to "automatic real-time protection"; the official Twitter has about 20,000 followers, led by UOB VM, Signum Capital, and NGC Ventures, raising 12 million USD, with a total token supply of 1 billion, and an initial circulation of 21.62%. It may pump on Binance Alpha, expected mid-range.
2️⃣ VOOI (VOOI) 🕑 19:00 opens for the distribution of 335 tokens ✅ 225 points (deducting 30 points decreasing, 5 points every minute) 📕 The project is a non-custodial, intent-driven cross-chain perpetual contract DEX aggregator that achieves gasless, unified balance trading using chain abstraction and account abstraction. In simple terms, it allows users to trade cryptocurrencies and real-world assets (RWA) perpetual contracts with one balance, no gas fees, and no bridging, avoiding the troubles and losses of traditional trading; the official Twitter has about 190,000 followers, led by YZi Labs, having disclosed a fundraising of 2.75 million USD, with a total token supply of 1 billion, and an initial circulation of 21%. It is listed on multiple mainstream exchanges and smaller exchanges, currently around 0.12 USD before the market opens, expected mid-range.
Brothers, today the TGE has finally arrived. After the new Alpha regulations were announced yesterday, even with a 30-point deduction, it was completely swept away, not giving any opportunity for point deductions to decrease.
The original intention of this new regulation is good—to reduce the Matthew effect through dynamic points, allowing ordinary retail investors more participation space. However, judging by yesterday's initial effects, there are still too many wolves and too little meat. If the airdrop pool size is insufficient to cover potential demand, the reduction mechanism may instead intensify early competition, as everyone will predict that they "can't afford to wait." In the long run, it benefits studios and major accounts by reducing points, but if retail investors are not united and still rush to grab, this game merely shifts from "first come, first served" to "high cost first served." Overall, it also reflects the speculative nature of the crypto ecosystem: even if the rules change, user behavior often revolves around maximizing immediate gains rather than long-term fairness.
Today's TGE overview:
1️⃣Infrared Finance (IR) 🕑16:00-18:00 TGE subscription opens ✅Point threshold 225 points 📕The project is a liquidity staking protocol within the Berachain ecosystem, integrating liquidity staking, validator/node tools, and automated yield vaults. The goal is to allow users to "participate in PoL with one click, earn yields, and retain governance rights," thus achieving staking while still earning yields. Currently, the TVL exceeds 500 million, peaking at 1.7 billion, with 400,000 users and an annual income of 118 million; the official Twitter has about 40,000 followers, led by Binance YZi Labs, Framework Ventures, and Synergis, with financing of 18.75 million dollars, having scale and background. The total token supply is 1 billion, with an initial circulation of 20.5%, launched on Binance ALPHA, GATE, Bitget, requiring 3 BNB to participate. Generally, TGE returns are above medium to high, and with added project quality bonuses, it's essential to participate if the points are sufficient.
Theoriq($THQ)today at 22:00 opens for the collection of 400 tokens, with a points threshold of 220 points.
⚠️This event adopts a "deduction reduction" model. In the first minute of the event, claiming the airdrop will consume 30 Binance Alpha points. If the event has not ended, every minute thereafter, the points required to claim will decrease by 1 point, with a minimum of 10 points. For example, if the event starts at 22:00, claiming from 22:00-22:01 will require 30 Binance Alpha points, claiming from 22:01-22:02 will require 29 points, and so on, until the points drop to the minimum requirement of 10 points to claim the airdrop. This new model will gradually lower the Alpha points threshold with more events, creating a fairer and more inclusive participation experience.
🤔Who came up with this new model? If it meets Da Mao, someone will definitely jump the gun. Large holders consuming points is beneficial, it's recommended that retail investors unite, as accumulating points is not easy to avoid excessive competition. Wait 15 minutes after 80U to claim again, to maintain points from being overly consumed🤜🏻

⏰Today at 21:00, surprise airdrop, 250 points first come first served, may be old coins + trading competition, surprise is generally 30U, will it be other major stablecoin projects launched simultaneously $STABLE , we will wait and see🤔

⏰Today at 20:00, there will be an airdrop raid. 250 points, first come first served. It might be old coins + trading competition. The raid is generally 30U. The old coins in the raid are more stable than the new coins. With the current market, if you have 30U, you can claim it. 🤔 Previously, when points were segmented or low points were first come first served, everyone complained about not being able to compete with technology. At this stage, Binance has changed its distribution strategy. This tiered model indeed allows everyone to have a chance, but fundamentally, it still benefits large holders. Small retail investors have basically no profits, and in the short term, we need to launch several top-tier projects to break this situation.
⏰Today at 21:00, surprise airdrop, first come first served for 242 points, losing this amount of points is inconsequential, it could be an old coin + trading contest, the surprise usually has 30U, old coins in the surprise are more stable than new coins, with the current market, if you have 30U, just claim it.
⏰Today at 21:00, there will be an airdrop raid, first come first served for 253 points, possibly old coins + trading competition. The raid usually costs 30U, and the old coins in the raid are more stable than new coins. In the current market, if you have 30U, you can claim it. 🤔The score cannot drop at all. If this continues, ideally, you can earn 2+16 in one cycle and claim it twice, four times a month, each time 30U, totaling 120U monthly income. Daily loss is 3.5U, with a monthly loss of 100U, and a net profit of 20U for the month. Brothers, are you still holding on?
