Expect news tomorrow: this time the Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision! What impact will this have on Bitcoin?

A day before the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision announcement, the Japanese yen surged nearly 3% against the US dollar. The sharp move in the currency market fueled speculation that the Japanese government may have intervened again to support the yen. The USD/JPY pair fell over 400 pips to 158.5, its steepest daily drop since Japan's currency intervention earlier this year. Market participants suspect the rapid, strong yen appreciation could be due to direct foreign currency sales by Japanese authorities, though the Ministry of Finance has made no official statement. The yen had previously fallen to its weakest level against the dollar in nearly 40 years. In late April and May, the government intervened with roughly 9.6 trillion yen to prevent the USD/JPY from rising sustainably above 160, but the yen faced renewed selling pressure afterward. Investors are now focused on the BOJ's rate decision and its signals on future monetary policy. Potential hawkish signals from the BOJ are seen as a factor that could support further yen strength. A sharp yen appreciation could create short-term selling pressure on Bitcoin by increasing the risk of unwinding carry trades, where investors borrow low-yielding yen to invest in Bitcoin and other risky assets. This pressure could intensify if the BOJ takes a hawkish stance or raises interest rates.

Bitcoin stable as Fed fave PCE inflation sees first monthly drop in six years

Bitcoin remained stable around $64,500 despite the release of key U.S. inflation data. The June Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, showed a year-on-year increase of 3.7%, matching expectations and ending a recent uptrend with its first monthly decline since 2020. However, analysts cautioned that inflation remains nearly double the Fed's 2% target. Concurrently, U.S. stock markets rebounded, easing pressure on crypto assets. Following the Fed's decision to leave interest rates unchanged, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicted Bitcoin will become less sensitive to future Fed rate changes, anticipating more modest policy adjustments ahead.

Bernstein Reveals Details of Core Scientific's $14 Billion Deal with AMD

Analysts from Bernstein revealed details of a deal between Core Scientific and AMD with a potential total value of over $14 billion. According to the report, initial contracts for 530 MW of capacity could generate this revenue over 15 years, with AMD acting as a credit guarantor for part of the bitcoin miner's infrastructure. The partnership, announced on July 28, has the potential to allocate up to 2.5 GW of data center capacity for AI. Bernstein broke down the 530 MW into 377 MW of direct triple-net lease for AMD and 152 MW for an unnamed cloud provider backed by AMD's credit. This structure is seen as lowering financing costs and counterparty risk. AMD also received warrants to buy 30 million Core Scientific shares at $23.47 each, which vest upon reaching the 2.5 GW target. Average annual revenue from the deal is estimated at around $0.9 billion, or about $1.8 million per megawatt, which is 5-25% below recent AI hosting deals by other miners. However, the 377 MW triple-net lease for AMD carries a margin close to 100%. Core Scientific expects capital expenditures for the deal to be $11-12 million per MW, totaling about $6 billion. Bernstein views this partnership as a new phase in the transformation of former bitcoin miners into AI infrastructure operators, with AI chipmakers like AMD now acting as direct anchor tenants. Recent similar deals include Hut 8 allocating 704 MW to a tenant believed to be Nvidia, and AMD reserving 200 MW with Riot Platforms. Core Scientific also paid Block $41.9 million to terminate a mining chip supply contract as part of its accelerated diversification into AI.

Gumi and SBI Launch a 3 Billion Yen Cryptocurrency Fund, and Japan Opens Doors for Spot ETFs

Japanese gaming and blockchain firm gumi Inc. has partnered with financial group SBI to launch the SBI Crypto Fund I, starting August 1, 2026. The fund aims to raise 3 billion yen (approx. $18.3 million) and will invest in Bitcoin and major altcoins, using strategies like staking and hedging. SBI Financial Services holds a 51% stake, with gumi's gC Labs owning 49%. This move aligns with Japan's regulatory shift, where new laws will reclassify digital currencies as financial instruments (effective 2027), paving the way for future spot Bitcoin ETFs and stricter penalties for unregistered crypto activities. Tax rates on crypto gains are also set to drop from 55% to 20% in 2028. In related developments, SBI VC Trade, a crypto exchange under SBI Holdings, reported its registered accounts recently surpassed 2 million, doubling from 2025. Growth is driven by corporate adoption of Bitcoin and XRP to hedge against yen weakness, and the introduction of yen and dollar-pegged stablecoins. Despite a smaller market than the US or South Korea, Japan's crypto sector is gaining momentum.
