BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicted that changes in the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy could greatly impact global asset markets. According to CoinTelegraph, Hayes stated, “If the Bank of Japan defers quantitative tightening (QT) and resumes quantitative easing (QE) at the June monetary policy meeting, there is a high possibility that overall risk assets, including Bitcoin, will soar.”
The Bank of Japan has maintained ultra-loose policies longer than other major central banks, with its moves being sensitive to global liquidity flows. Hayes analyzed that if yen liquidity is released again, it could provide strong upward momentum in the cryptocurrency market.
This Bank of Japan meeting is emerging as a major variable in global financial markets, especially for digital asset investors.
