BOJ Raises Rates to 1.25%, Japan’s Monetary Policy Enters a New Phase
The Bank of Japan has really taken action this time. On September 18, the BOJ raised its policy rate from 1.00% by 25 basis points to 1.25%, the highest level in approximately 31 years, since 1995. This was also the sixth rate hike since Kazuo Ueda became governor, coming just three months after the previous hike in June, with the pace of rate normalization clearly accelerating.
On the surface, it was just 25 basis points, but in the context of Japan’s decades-long ultra-loose monetary environment, its significance is far fr

Let's actually talk about custody, because it's the part most explainers skate past.
When you deposit BTC on a centralized exchange to access DeFi-style products, you're not using DeFi. You're trusting a company to hold your Bitcoin and honor a promise. That's the entire model behind every earn product on every major exchange — your BTC, their balance sheet, their solvency risk, not yours to verify.
strkBTC works differently by design. You bridge BTC into @Starknet directly from your own wallet, and you're in custody of it as it moves — through the bridge, into your Starknet wallet (Xverse, in

🤖 A rather fascinating experiment has been launched: Exactly the same book was given to several of the most powerful AIs… and then they were asked to read the analyses produced by the other AIs.
The project accompanies the book "Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI" by Thierry Ehrmann.
The same corpus is submitted to several systems, including OpenAI/Astra, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and Perplexity. The goal is not to determine which AI provides the “best” critique, but to observe the concepts they identify, the passages they connect, and especially the points where their interpretations diverge.

$AKE How is this any different from fraud? No wonder retail investors lose no matter how they play.

The market plunged hard on September 16,
but everything has risen back today.
It seems the market still does not believe the Fed will raise rates by only 25 basis points. If it goes with 50,
the market should become even more volatile.
The next rate hike should come before the end of the year,
and it will be 25 basis points or more.
In any case, the market has not bottomed yet,
because we are now facing a wave of rate hikes,
making it difficult to enter a bull market again,
unless there are substantial rate cuts and balance sheet expansion!

Nobody is talking about the quiet bullish setup forming in ARB right now.

$ARB /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.2112 – 0.2152
SL: 0.1944
TP1: 0.2273
TP2: 0.2367
TP3: 0.2508

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is bullish, the 1h ATR is 0.007829, the 15m RSI sits at 43.32, and the entry zone is 0.2112 to 0.2152. This means momentum is expanding just as oversold conditions ease, offering a precise long entry near 0.2132. The first target is 0.2273, with a deeper run to 0.2367 if buying pressure holds. The line in the sand is 0.1604, below which the entire bullish structure fails.

the US house passed the graham russia sanctions.
There's a provision letting him slap up to 100% tariffs on any country still buying russian oil, with india named directly in the house amendment.
Here's what the panic headlines are missing.
1) This is not a tariff yet. It is authority to impose one, at Trump's discretion. Congress handed him the power. Using it is a separate decision.
2) India has run this exact playbook before. Trump hit India with a 25% tariff in August 2025 over Russian oil. Then doubled it to 50% weeks later. India's response was not to cut purchases.
3) Reliance and Nayar

🔥 BOJ Hikes to 1.25%: A 31-Year High! Where Do Yen & Japanese Stocks Go Next? 🇯🇵
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has officially accelerated its monetary normalization, raising its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%. This aggressive pivot marks the highest borrowing cost in Japan since 1995 and was passed with a 7-2 majority vote. As the central bank moves to combat rising inflation risks, the entire macroeconomic landscape is shifting.
Here is a breakdown of the potential ripple effects across the markets:

I didn’t make any judgment call—I simply held it a little longer, and didn’t expect it to actually reward me. When I opened the market this morning, $ETH funds quietly entered, and the pullback held. I said not to touch the long position for now and let it run on its own.

Unrealized P&L +6801%, entry price 1883.20, current price 2619.84. The rhythm was timed perfectly—everyone on board should be waking up laughing.
