Japans Zinserhöhung beendet die Ära des „freien Geldes“ und macht Bitcoin aufmerksam

tldr; The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to 0.75%, marking the end of its ultra-accommodative monetary policy. This shift impacts global markets, particularly the yen carry trade, which has historically financed risk assets like Bitcoin. Analysts suggest that Japan’s tightening, combined with potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, could disrupt liquidity and create headwinds for Bitcoin. While Bitcoin remains resilient, the evolving macroeconomic landscape poses challenges, with Japanese yields rising and hedging costs affecting global investment flows.

H.mmm it’s still free money in the negative territory. The carry trade to usd assets will continue as every asset gives better rate and will do so even with 3+ more hikes

BTC does benefit from the carry trade but it’s far from being its maiin liquidity source. The one that actually is, has been lowering rates for the first time in 3 years and just ended a long period of QT

Already priced in as it has always been…
