BOJ Hikes Rate to 1.25%: Markets Remain Calm Amid Tighter Policy
The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%, marking the highest level since 1995.
The hike was widely expected, and markets reacted calmly after two policymakers opposed the move, raising hopes that the BOJ may take a slower approach to future hikes.
Despite the hike, Bitcoin held above $77,000, showing no immediate pressure from Japan's tighter policy.
