Yen nears 40-year low; crypto market watches for BOJ tightening signals

As the yen again nears its weakest level in 40 years against the dollar, the Bank of Japan\'s policy decision this week is emerging as a key variable for the cryptocurrency market. Markets largely expect rates to be held, but attention is on whether the BOJ signals further tightening and how that could affect yen carry trades and global liquidity. Analysts warn that a shift could accelerate carry-trade unwinding and pressure bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
