The Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 0.25%, bringing them to 0.75%, the highest level in about 30 years.
When interest rates rise, bond yields usually rise too. That’s why the 10-year Japanese government bond yield moved above 2%, a level not seen since 1999.
The central bank says inflation is still relatively high, close to 3%, and it expects companies to stay profitable and continue raising wages in the coming years. Even with this rate hike, the BOJ stressed that real interest rates remain negative, meaning monetary policy is still supportive of the economy.
For crypto markets, this matters because higher rates in Japan reduce cheap global liquidity. When liquidity tightens, risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins can face short-term pressure or increased volatility.
In simple terms: Japan is slowly moving away from ultra-easy money, and that shift can influence global markets — including crypto — through liquidity, not fundamentals.
