🇯🇵 BOJ raises the rate to a 31-year high. What does it mean for BTC?
On September 18, the Bank of Japan raised its policy rate from 1.00% to 1.25%—the highest level since 1995. The decision was made by a 7–2 vote.
But the market reaction proved interesting: after the rate hike, the yen weakened, and Bitcoin recovered to roughly $81,000.
🔎 Why is this important for $BTC ?
Rate hikes in Japan can affect the attractiveness of yen carry trades—when cheap yen financing is used to invest in assets with higher returns.
If Japanese financing conditions continue to shift, it could impact global capital flows and liquidity.
⚠️ At the same time, the automatic scenario “BOJ rate ↑ = $BTC ↓” did not confirm right away. The market is also factoring in the Fed’s policy, the dollar, bond yields, and the overall level of liquidity.
📌 What I’ll be tracking next: • USD/JPY and yen behavior
• JGB and US Treasuries yields
• BOJ signals regarding future rate increases
• BTC and the reaction of risk assets
The BOJ is becoming an increasingly important factor for global markets—and crypto is no exception.
