The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%, the highest in 31 years, aiming to tackle inflation and a weak yen. Following the hike, the Japanese yen weakened against the U.S. dollar, while Bitcoin gained against the yen on the Tokyo bitFlyer exchange. The rate increase marks the BOJ's second hike in three months and responds to international pressure for tighter monetary policy. This move impacts global markets due to Japan's long history of near-zero rates and the carry trade involving yen borrowing.
