#大户持仓动态 The rate hike in Japan is imminent. What should the crypto community be alert to? Let's be direct.



If Japan truly pushes the benchmark interest rate to 0.75%, this is not just a headline; it will have real, tangible impacts.

In the past, Japan's zero interest rate policy led global investors to play an arbitrage game: borrowing yen and appreciating assets in USD. Once the rate hike is implemented, borrowing becomes more expensive, and that chain must be broken.

The most critical figure is right there — the Bank of Japan holds $1.18 trillion in U.S. Treasuries.

What does a rate hike mean? Debt pressures will surge, and asset structures must be adjusted. Ultimately, it boils down to one thing: selling off dollar assets and converting back to yen.

This large-scale asset reallocation has three characteristics:

- Focus on whether assets can be sold quickly, regardless of quality
- Pursue efficiency, with no regard for sentiment
- Assets with good liquidity are sold first

The short-term result will be — U.S. stocks, gold, Bitcoin, Ethereum all cannot avoid the impact of increased volatility. The market will shake.

But not all risks are bad.

The market always follows this pattern: after extreme fluctuations, opportunities truly emerge.

In the eyes of institutions, sharp volatility is a window for clearing positions and re-pricing.

How to respond? Three points:

- Don't push against risks aggressively in the short term; wait for clearer signals
- After policies settle, focus on the pace of recovery
- Once global funds complete reallocation, the market is likely to start a new round of price discovery

The real opportunity often appears in the most chaotic moment.

1.18 trillion USD dumped, is this really the end? The Bank of Japan's move directly cuts off arbitrage opportunities for traders. How can retail investors survive? Volatility has arrived, but this is a signal to build positions. Let's see who dares to take the plunge. Chaos is an opportunity, there's nothing wrong with that saying. Let's wait and see; in the short term, there will definitely be some震荡出血一波.

0.75%? What's there to be afraid of? I've already gone all-in long ago, lowering the cost basis and waiting for the rebound.

Japan's interest rate hike directly breaks the arbitrage chain. This wave definitely requires close attention.

The figure of 1.18 trillion USD is indeed shocking. It feels like this wave of selling can't be avoided. Is the Japanese yield curve really going to invert, or is it just another wolf coming? Rather than waiting for an opportunity, it's better to set up the ladder first; only after the fall can we buy the dip. Let the volatility be, anyway the chips that need to be washed will be washed. With such strong selling pressure... it still feels quite risky in the short term.
