The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised its short-term rate to 0.75% on December 19, 2025, the highest in 30 years. The 25-basis-point hike follows core inflation of 3.0% in November, driven by food prices and a weaker yen. Governor Kazuo Ueda stressed data-dependent decisions, with wage growth a key focus. On-chain data shows increased altcoins to watch activity amid the move. The Nikkei 225 rose over 1%, while bond yields hit multi-decade highs. The BOJ’s tightening contrasts with easing in other major economies.
