Recently, the Bank of Japan's latest moves have directly shattered the traditional finance textbook. The most aggressive rate hike in thirty years—by conventional logic, the yen should have remained strong, but instead it was suddenly devalued to 157? Meanwhile, the Nikkei index surged over 2%, making this trade look increasingly bizarre.



Upon closer inspection, three reasons are behind this chaos. First is the central bank's own tricks—appearing to raise rates on the surface, while secretly signaling "stability will follow," causing the market to dump the yen. Second is the geopolitical pressure from the US side—some major companies are forced to relocate factories, and domestic Japanese firms' demand for USD has skyrocketed, pushing the yen to its lowest point. The third and most astonishing reason is that capital players have found Japanese government bonds too unprofitable, so they have fully shifted into the Japanese stock market, creating a strange situation—stocks soaring while the exchange rate plummets.

This reveals a hard truth: the traditional method of adjusting interest rates alone can no longer compete with geopolitical games and the real needs of capital markets. The old logic of exchange rates is failing, and the power to price assets is quietly shifting. Is the current yen depreciation a temporary fluctuation or the beginning of a new era? Where will liquidity in the crypto market flow? These questions are worth deep tracking.

The Bank of Japan's move is truly incredible—raising interest rates while devaluing the yen, even the textbooks would have to burn. --- Basically, geopolitical and capital battles completely overshadow the central bank's interest rate tricks; traditional logic has completely failed. --- When raising interest rates actually leads to depreciation and still boosts the stock market, this puzzle is interesting. --- Capital players are ruthless—if government bond yields are poor, they push everything into stocks, pressing the yen into the ground. --- Those tiny signals from the central bank are completely ineffective; when geopolitical pressure hits, they become useless. --- What does this operation indicate? The contradictions within the financial system have become so severe that the central bank alone can't fix them with policy? --- The yen plummets while the stock market soars—this situation is so absurd I can't even understand it, just waiting to see where crypto liquidity flows. --- It feels like the underlying logic of traditional finance is being completely deconstructed; the weakening of central bank power is real.

The central bank's move is truly brilliant—raising interest rates on the surface while easing liquidity behind the scenes. How can the market not crush the yen? It's a classic case of saying tightening but acting quite honestly.

The central bank's approach is outdated; geopolitics is the real big boss.

It should be pointed out that this article makes a classic mistake—mistaking market appearances for a logical chain. The yen depreciates while the stock market rises, seemingly contradictory, but in fact, this is clear evidence of the transfer of capital pricing power from the central bank to the market. According to the spirit of the white paper, Satoshi Nakamoto has long argued: when a single authority mechanism fails, the market will spontaneously seek new value anchors. Japan is currently playing out this scenario. Let me be straightforward: the textbooks of traditional finance should be torn up. Interest rate tools are already outdated; the real game rules are written in the flow of liquidity—that's exactly why we need to pay attention to the crypto market. Central banks shouting until they are hoarse is less effective than a capital shift. The story of the yen actually tells us: traditional monetary policy is dead, and an era of multi-asset coordination has arrived. Based on on-chain data logic, subsequent shocks will be even more intense.

The central bank's move is truly brilliant, raising interest rates while devaluing the currency—it's enough to make textbooks obsolete. Japanese players must be making a killing now, right?
