When the Governor of the Bank of Japan, Ueda Kazuo, publicly stated that further interest rate hikes are possible, the reaction of the global financial markets was almost instinctive—tension. This is not just a simple interest rate adjustment but a critical turning point that affects the flow of global capital.

Ueda Kazuo's recent statement was clear: as long as economic and price data meet expectations, the Bank of Japan may further raise interest rates. This statement may seem ordinary, but it actually signifies that the world's last major economy clinging to ultra-loose policies is changing course. From Tokyo to New York, from London to Singapore, this signal spread across the entire financial world in a second.

Why is this so critical? Because once Japan initiates an interest rate hike cycle, a large-scale repatriation of the yen will follow. Global market liquidity will be significantly absorbed, which is not good news for any risk assets—including cryptocurrencies, which are already highly volatile. The deeper issue reflects the uncertainty about the global economic outlook. Traditional analytical tools—lagging economic data and conflicting news headlines—now seem powerless.

In such chaos, what does the market truly need? The ability to cut through noise and restore reality with accurate data. Especially for decentralized finance, high-fidelity, verifiable information sources become particularly crucial. This is precisely why AI-enhanced oracle networks are gaining attention—they aim to provide clearer real-world insights for intelligent decision-making.

This shift by the Bank of Japan marks the end of an era. The upcoming global capital will seek new anchors, and the crypto market will inevitably face a new round of pricing pressures and opportunity restructuring.
