🌍 The world’s biggest financial secret is officially over
For more than 30 years, Japan supplied the world with the cheapest money in history — near-zero rates, unlimited liquidity, and trillions of yen flowing into global stocks, bonds, crypto, and pensions.
📉 That era has ended.
Key facts most are ignoring:
BOJ ETF holdings: $534B
Asset sell-off planned over 100+ years
Dec 19 rate-hike probability: 90%
New policy rate: 0.75% (highest since 1995)
Japan’s US Treasuries: $1.189T (largest foreign holder)
Long-term JGB yields at record highs
A clear pattern:
Mar 2024 BOJ hike → BTC -23%
Jul 2024 BOJ hike → BTC -26%
Jan 2025 BOJ hike → BTC -31%
What changed: The Bank of Japan is no longer buying — it’s selling.
For the first time, a major central bank is reversing QE.
The yen carry trade funded global risk assets.
That funding cost just jumped to 0.75% and rising.
Why it matters: Markets priced the rate hike — not the consequences.
A shift from permanent buyer to permanent seller changes global risk.
Watch closely:
USD/JPY below 150 → margin stress
USD/JPY below 145 → cascade risk
📅 Dec 19, 2025
The beginning of Japan’s century-long liquidation.
Position accordingly.
