BOJ’s Secret Plan to Make Bitcoin Go Berserk? 🤯

by

Ah, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) – the ultimate party poopers. They’re gearing up for their monetary policy meeting on June 16-17, 2025, and the whole world is holding its breath. Will they bring the noise and spark a rally in risk assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies? 🎉

Industry experts, including the illustrious Arthur Hayes (co-founder of BitMEX and CIO of Maelstrom), are placing their bets on a shift to quantitative easing (QE). You know, the old “print more money and hope for the best” trick. It’s like a game of economic Jenga – except instead of blocks, they’re using bonds and the global economy is the tower. 🤹‍♂️

Arthur Hayes, the man himself, has taken to X (because who needs Twitter anymore?) to share his two cents. He thinks that if the BOJ decides to delay its plan to reduce the money supply and instead injects more cash into the economy with selective QE, it could lead to a massive surge in the value of risk assets like stocks and Bitcoin. It’s like a digital gold rush, folks! 🏔️

Now, the BOJ has been slowly cutting its bond purchases by 400 billion Japanese yen every three months since July 31, 2024. But, rumor has it, they might slash this amount in half to 200 billion Japanese yen per quarter starting April 2027. It’s like they’re playing a game of economic chicken – except instead of cars, they’re using the global economy. 🚗

Meanwhile, Japan’s bond market is under pressure, with the 30-year bond yield hitting a high of 3.185% on May 20, 2025. And, just two days later, Bitcoin reached a record $112,000. Coincidence? Maybe. But experts like André Dragosch from Bitwise think that this bond market trouble is making people see Bitcoin as a safe haven – you know, like a digital Swiss bank account. 🏦

Some experts (we won’t name names) even think that if people get more spooked about governments not paying their debts, Bitcoin’s value could skyrocket to $200,000. That’s like, a lot of money. 💸

So, everyone is waiting with bated breath to see what the BOJ decides at their meeting. Will they bring the heat and spark a cryptocurrency rally? Or will they play it cool and keep the economy in a state of limbo? The world waits with bated breath… 🤔
