Japan’s CPI eases – Could a BOJ rate cut really help Bitcoin?
Japan's recent CPI slowdown, with Tokyo inflation dropping to 2% in December, has raised expectations that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may maintain or even cut rates to boost liquidity. While such monetary easing is typically seen as bullish for crypto, the article suggests it may not significantly benefit Bitcoin. Despite potential BOJ support, investor risk appetite appears to be shrinking, with capital flowing strongly into traditional safe-haven assets like gold, silver, and platinum instead of digital assets. This trend, coupled with a declining Coinbase Premium Index for Bitcoin, indicates that macro improvements alone may not spark a crypto rally, as the hedge narrative for Bitcoin loses momentum.
