Bitcoin Encounters Volatility Threat as Yen Hits All-Time Lows Despite Japan's Interest Rate Increase
Bank of Japan's Rate Hike: The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to 0.75%, the highest in 30 years, but the yen fell to record lows against the dollar and euro, prompting potential currency intervention by the government.
Market Reactions: Despite the rate hike, the yen's weakness has revived carry trades, benefiting Japanese equities and banks, while Bitcoin and other risk assets face volatility due to the uncertain economic environment.
Real Interest Rates: Japan's real interest rates remain significantly negative at approximately -2.15%, contrasting sharply with the U.S. real rate of around 1.44%, which raises concerns about Japan's public debt and long-term economic stability.
Future Projections: Analysts predict that the next BOJ rate hike could occur as early as April 2026, with expectations that the yen will end the year around 155 yen to the dollar, while cautioning that further yen debasement may be necessary before fiscal consolidation can be achieved.
