The Bank of Japan signals a rate hike towards 0.75%, with a probability as high as 98%, prompting a response from global markets. This is not just a policy adjustment; it is essentially aimed at dismantling the leverage support relying on yen arbitrage trading, resulting in collective pressure on risk assets. Looking at BTC's movement makes it clear — it’s falling from the sky, a metaphor that now seems pale.

What should knowledgeable investors do at this moment? Keep their hands steady. The principal is still there, and so are the opportunities. But the key question is: where is the most reliable place to put your money? How can you strike first once the storm subsides?

The answer is actually simple: choose stablecoins.

When the yen unwinding wave hits, almost all risk assets will be impacted. The only exception is stablecoins — they are like the relatively stable zone within the eye of the storm. USDD falls into this category.

From several perspectives, holding USDD makes sense right now. In terms of value, whether BTC drops to 80,000 or 70,000, 1 USDD always pegs to 1 USD, and its purchasing power won’t be eroded by rate hike panic. Psychologically, seeing the USDD amount in your account remain unchanged allows you to make more rational decisions, avoiding panic-driven actions like trying to catch falling knives. The more critical aspect is opportunity — when the market truly crashes and panic emotions are exhausted, and bloodied chips are everywhere, your USDD becomes a hard currency you can convert at any moment, ready to exchange for any asset instantly.

While others gamble on luck under high pressure, I have long built a soundproof, explosion-proof safe using stablecoins. When the market’s heat dissipates, I can come out calmly and tidy up the situation. The real question now isn’t where the bottom is — it’s whether you are prepared.
