Citing Bijié Wǎng, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may raise its benchmark rate to 1.0% in June or July 2026, per former理事 Sakurai Makoto. This shift from ultra-low rates could impact the yen, bonds, and global crypto markets. The BOJ raised rates to 0.75% in December 2024, the highest since 1995, as inflation stays above 2%. The crypto market rose 1.04% in 24 hours, aided by institutional buying and optimism over Fed liquidity. Meanwhile, EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation continues to shape investor behavior across global markets.
