🌍 The "Japan Exception" in the Global Tightening Tide?
As major central banks are generally in a high interest rate cycle, whether Japan adheres to a negative interest rate policy has become a focal point. Taketabe Masakazu's remarks suggest that the government prefers to maintain an accommodative environment to support the economy. Will Japan become an "island" in the global tightening wave?

Today's market has taught me a lesson: it's not about whether you believe it or not, it's about whether the money believes it or not. $SENTIS surged to 0.5u this afternoon, rising over 20 times from the bottom; this is a stock backed by real capital. Many people think that the rise is due to the market conditions, but what's more common is: we need to see if the market accepts this narrative. When I saw $SENTIS consistently ranking high on Alpha, I felt something was off—today, I looked and it left me speechless. It's not just an AI making slogans: the BNB AI Hackathon has recognized it, and the direction is very clear: DeFi Autonomous Driving: strategy/execution/risk control is handed over to Agents.
Agents can create ecosystems (LaunchON): turning strategies into “participatory ecosystems.”
Now this kind of trend is no longer a matter of whether you have confidence in it or not, it's about whether you can pay attention to it or not… missing the bottom really hurts 😭@Sentism_AI #SENTIS #Alpha $SENTIS

In the current tide of information, a name is mentioned countless times, yet seems as if it never existed—Satoshi Nakamoto.
We revel in the myth of wealth in the crypto world, chasing the technological wave brought by blockchain, marveling at Bitcoin's astonishing trajectory from a few cents to tens of thousands of dollars. But behind the feast, who still remembers the person who set the first table? He has never appeared, with no speeches or interviews, leaving only a protocol that changed the world and an unsolved mystery.
We owe Satoshi Nakamoto a sense of original intent that is not forgotten. When Bitcoin has become a symbol of speculation, who still remembers the declaration of the "peer-to-peer electronic cash system" in the white paper? What he provided was not a ticket to wealth, but a key to reconstructing trust, and the possibility of decentralization.
We owe him a respect for anonymity. His disappearance is the practice of an ideal; anonymity allows the system to be free from any individual authority. The best tribute is to stop questioning his identity and to protect his choice of "non-existence."
We owe him a clarity that transcends money. Blockchain is a canvas, whether it paints a vision or a blemish depends on us. He gifted the spark, turned to vanish into darkness, not for worship, but to let the light grow on its own.
We do not owe him personal worship, but a commitment—to ensure that this revolution is not only about wealth distribution but also about rebuilding trust, reshaping value, and decentralizing power. This debt is not in the ledger, but in our conscience and foresight towards technology #美国非农数据超预期 #巨鲸动向 #美SEC推动加密创新监管
📊 How should investors position themselves for the turning point in Japanese policy?
Regardless of whether the Bank of Japan takes action this week, the door to the normalization of its monetary policy has slowly begun to open. For investors, this means a need to reassess and reposition Japanese yen assets, the Japanese stock market, and related derivatives.

$ASTER There has been some confusion about Aster’s buyback program, so here’s the exact status.
S4 buybacks were not stopped. On Dec 8 (UTC), we accelerated S4 buyback execution to $4M/day and completed this accelerated tranche in 8 days (~$32M executed). By the end of that tranche, we had cumulatively utilized ~90% of S4 fee income to date for buybacks.
Buybacks have resumed on Dec 17 (UTC) and will continue through the remainder of Stage 4, funded by the previous day’s S4 fee revenue, in line with the existing framework.
Stage 4 ends on Dec 21 (UTC). After Stage 4, the buyback program will continue. Parameters for the next phase are being finalized and will be shared once confirmed.
Buybacks remain a standing policy at Aster: disciplined execution, transparent allocations, and timely updates.

🔄 “Interest Rate Hikes” and “Growth” - Japan's Balancing Act
Masahiro Wakatabe proposed that we should first enhance economic potential through fiscal and growth strategies, and then allow interest rate hikes to occur naturally. This reflects the careful balance that Japanese authorities maintain between “promoting growth” and “preventing inflation,” where the choice of path is crucial.

This time, where do you think the opportunity lies? 🧐#BTC☀️ Japan is planning to sell off $50 trillion in 'assets'? The global market is suddenly tense, but this is precisely the golden signal for cryptocurrency! Breaking news: The Bank of Japan plans to start liquidating next month, slowly selling off up to 830 trillion yen (approximately $5.34 trillion) in ETF assets, with the selling period potentially lasting a century. On the surface, this is to 'avoid shocking the market', but in reality, it hides a global liquidity turning point — when traditional giants begin to retreat, smart money has already shifted to more cutting-edge assets. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB are becoming new reservoirs! Behind this century-long sell-off is a waning confidence of sovereign funds in traditional assets. As 'digital gold', BTC is catering to institutional hedging demand — its scarcity and independent market behavior make it a hedging tool in the era of central banks' liquidity releases. ETH, with its ecological moat, attracts traffic from DeFi to NFTs. Meanwhile, BNB, as the leading exchange token, directly captures trading enthusiasm; every market fluctuation fuels its value. Don't be misled by 'slow selling'; the upheaval has quietly begun. Japan's ETF sell-off signals that global asset allocation is being reshuffled. The liquidity of traditional markets is gradually being reclaimed, while the maturation and regulation of the crypto market are making it a hub for the transition between old and new capital. The narrative of BTC's halving, ETH's upgrade potential, and BNB's practical scenarios collectively build a financial new continent escaping the old system. Historical experience tells us: every significant turn of sovereign capital gives birth to an explosion of new asset classes. This time, where are you betting?
The emergence of the encrypted world fully proves the progress of technology and the internet, and it has also rewritten the financial attributes from being singular to becoming diversified. The creator of Bitcoin is widely recognized as Satoshi Nakamoto. This name should earn everyone's respect, understanding, embrace, and consensus; this is the highest realm for crypto enthusiasts. #美SEC推动加密创新监管 #美联储降息
There are less than 14 hours left until the Japanese yen interest rate hike
In addition to confirming the announcement of the interest rate change on December 19, the market is more concerned about whether the Bank of Japan will continue to raise interest rates. Currently, the interest rate is 0.5%, and after the hike, it will only reach 0.75%.
However, as previously mentioned, to bring the interest rate back to a neutral range, the market speculates that this round of interest rate hikes should eventually reach 1.25%, which means betting on 3 consecutive rate hikes.
The last time Japan raised interest rates consecutively was from March 2024, continuing until January 2025, taking about 10 months to raise Japan from a negative interest rate of -0.1% to a final rate of 0.5%.
Currently, Japan is still facing soaring prices, with the inflation rate exceeding 2% for 3 consecutive years. The public continues to criticize the Bank of Japan for not keeping up with inflation, resulting in very low actual borrowing costs.
The market is currently digesting the panic of consecutive rate hikes after the initial hike, and December is also the worst time for liquidity due to North American Christmas and year-end holidays, leading to significant market fluctuations.
