Citing Bijié Wǎng, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may raise its benchmark interest rate to 1.0% in June or July 2026, according to former BOJ理事 Sakurai Makoto. This potential shift from decades of ultra-low or negative rates could affect the yen, Japanese bonds, and the global crypto market. The BOJ raised rates to 0.75% in December 2024, the highest since 1995, as inflation remains above 2% for four consecutive years. Meanwhile, the crypto market has shown a positive reaction, with a 1.04% rise in 24 hours, partly driven by institutional buying and optimism over Fed liquidity.
