币界网报道:

日本央行今天将短期利率上调至0.25%,令许多人感到惊讶。这是近几个月来的第二次加息,因为日本央行试图遏制日元兑美元的下跌,并转向更正常的货币政策。

我们的金融市场反应迅速,规模巨大。东京股市首先感受到了这一点。起初,由于投资者为日本央行的公告做准备,股市下跌了0.4%。

但加息后,市场反弹。加息被视为日本经济可能比以前想象的更强劲的迹象。但这对美元和全球经济意味着什么?

货币市场对日本的决定作出反应

日元兑美元强势反弹,升值1.8%。日元兑美元汇率盘中创下150.05日元的新高,这是自3月以来从未见过的水平。

日本央行的决定和未来加息的暗示使日元对投资者更具吸引力。全球货币市场也感受到了连锁反应。

衡量美元对其他主要货币汇率的美元指数下跌了0.3%。美元已经变得相当疲软,部分原因是人们预计美联储可能很快就会降息。

投资者现在对日本重新产生了兴趣。日本央行似乎已经摆脱了长期以来的超宽松货币政策。

多年来,日本央行一直将利率维持在零或以下,以刺激经济活动。但当通货膨胀成为一个紧迫的问题时,日本央行决定尝试一种不同的方法。在新闻发布会上,上田和男酋长说:

“整体通胀率在很长一段时间内一直高于2%。鉴于通胀的进一步上行风险,我们认为现在是正确的时机。”

上田还表示,虽然日本央行致力于政策正常化,但他们将谨慎行事。他承认日元最近贬值带来的挑战,但补充道:

“我认为加息不会对经济产生严重的负面影响,因为它仍处于较低水平。”

根据经济数据,日本可能会进一步加息。央行宣布计划到2026年3月将其债券购买计划从目前的每月6万亿日元减半。

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.
