Latest news from the Japanese financial sector — a former board member of the central bank has released a rather aggressive signal. According to this executive, in the coming months (expected in June or July), the Bank of Japan may implement a significant interest rate hike, aiming directly at the key point of 1.0%.

Interestingly, this individual also mentioned the figure of 1.75%—the neutral interest rate level recognized by the Bank of Japan. In other words, once the policy rate approaches this level, the pace of subsequent rate hikes will slow down. This means that the rate hike cycle could be longer and steeper than the market expects.

What does this mean for the global crypto market? Japan, as a significant source of global liquidity, will put immediate pressure on funds that rely on a loose environment once it initiates a more aggressive tightening cycle. While the Federal Reserve is still observing, the Bank of Japan is set to act first—this will accelerate the trend of tightening global liquidity. In the short term, this change in expectations is enough to shake the pricing logic of risk assets.
