🚨 Why Japan's Interest Rate Hike Is Bad for Crypto
The Bank of Japan raised rates to 0.75% in Jan 2026 — highest since 1995 — with another hike to 1% expected in April. Here's why it matters 👇
For years, investors borrowed cheap Japanese yen and invested it into Bitcoin & crypto (the "yen carry trade"). When Japan hikes rates, the yen strengthens — forcing traders to SELL crypto to repay loans.
📉 Liquidity dries up. Bitcoin drops.
After Jan's hike, BTC fell ~3%. A 1% rate could push a 4–5% drop toward $60K.
