🚨 Bank of Japan raises rates to a 31-year high—what should BTC watch out for?
The Bank of Japan has raised its policy rate from 1.00% to 1.25%, reaching about the highest level in roughly 31 years.
Many people think:
Japan hikes rates—what does that have to do with BTC?
In fact, the connection could be bigger than you might imagine.
For many years, Japan has been one of the world’s key sources of low-cost funding.
Now that Japan’s interest rates continue to rise, it means:
💴 The cost of JPY funding increases 💧 Global liquidity at the margin tightens 📉 Carry trades may adjust further ⚡ Short-term volatility in risk assets like BTC could be amplified
But what the market truly needs to watch isn’t just this one +25 bps move.
It’s:
Whether Japan is entering a sustained rate-hike cycle.
If Japan’s rates keep normalizing, on top of the high-rate environment in the U.S., global funding costs may rise further.
#美联储加息是否已成定局 9月本次加息已经落地(定局):美联储9月议息会议加息25bp,联邦基金利率来到3.75%-4.00%,2023年7月之后首次重启加息。 This hike has already taken effect. Now the market is looking at another rate hike by the end of the year—it’s all about expectations. Will $BTC Bitcoin go up or go down?
After the Fed raised rates by 25bp last night, the market surprisingly didn’t keep selling off.👀
Yesterday, the three major U.S. stock indexes all rebounded: the Nasdaq rose 1.69%, the S&P 500 rose 1.14%, and the Dow rose 0.62%. At the same time, U.S. Treasury yields fell back and oil prices dropped, giving risk assets some breathing room.
BTC also moved back above $76,000, with a slight 24H uptick.
So, news is news, and price is price. Rate hikes ≠ the market will definitely fall.😂

Sixteen years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote the Bitcoin whitepaper—compared to the ETH PoS chain today, it’s almost like a small workshop’s product. But his ideas were ahead by more than just 16 years $BTC
