During his first public appearance of the year, <strong>Kazuo Ueda<\/strong> was crystal clear: the Bank of Japan (<strong>BoJ<\/strong>) <strong>is not stopping here.<\/strong> This statement comes barely two weeks after the institution raised its benchmark rate to <strong>0.75%<\/strong> on December 19th, <strong>a level unseen since 1995.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Japan\u2019s 5-Year JGB yield hits its highest level since 2007 \ud83d\udcc8<br><br>This comes after BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda hinted at further rate hikes, signaling a gradual exit from ultra-easy policy. \u26a0\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lIQeyRQxUT\">pic.twitter.com\/lIQeyRQxUT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Karan Singh Arora (@thisisksa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thisisksa\/status\/2008073105718300930?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 5, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For crypto investors, this <strong>hawkish<\/strong> rhetoric is anything but good news. The market, which had hoped for a pause in monetary tightening, must now integrate the fact that the era of free money in Japan is well and truly over. This dynamic strengthens the Yen but <strong>mechanically drains global liquidity<\/strong>, an essential fuel for volatile assets like <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-investing\/buy\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-specter-of-the-carry-trade-why-does-btc-drop-with-every-announcement\">The Specter of the &#8220;Carry Trade&#8221;: Why Does BTC Drop With Every Announcement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent history shows a troubling correlation: every time Japan signals or implements a rate hike, <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/crypto\/bitcoin\/halving-date\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> suffers a violent <strong>correction<\/strong>. The mechanism behind this drop is the unwinding of the infamous &#8220;Yen Carry Trade.&#8221; For years, speculators have borrowed Yen at zero interest to buy high-yield assets like cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as rates rise, the cost of these loans explodes, forcing <strong>whales<\/strong> and institutional players to massively sell their <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/\">crypto<\/a> positions <strong>to repay their Yen-denominated debts<\/strong>. This phenomenon had already triggered massive <strong>flash crashes<\/strong> in the past. With these new announcements, the fear of another massive <strong>dump<\/strong> looms over the market, with traders dreading that liquidity will brutally withdraw from order books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-bitcoin-survive-a-stronger-yen-in-2026\">Can Bitcoin Survive a Stronger Yen in 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The burning question among analysts is now whether the market has already &#8220;priced in&#8221; these future hikes or if we are on the brink of a new capitulation. For now, the Yen is bearing the full brunt of Japan&#8217;s economic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Japanese Yen (black) is almost as weak as Turkish Lira (blue).
