This long-anticipated hike is stirring unease among global markets, with ripple effects reaching the cryptocurrency sector.<\/p>\n

The Bank of Japan’s third rate hike<\/a> <\/strong>in under a year reflects its effort to address persistent inflation, expected to stay above 2.6% through 2025. However, this policy shift comes at a cost, as Japan\u2019s growth outlook has been downgraded. A stronger yen could upend the carry trade, a strategy where investors borrow yen to invest in higher-yielding markets, potentially disrupting global liquidity.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum<\/a> <\/strong>and Solana<\/a> <\/strong>quickly reacted to the news, with Bitcoin dropping 3% before rebounding.Now, BTC is up around 3.5% in the pasr 24 hours. Analysts suggest this volatility is tied not only to Japan’s rate hike but also to uncertainties stemming from U.S. policies on digital assets.<\/p>\n
