Bank of Japan holds at 1% and keeps further tightening in play
|
|
The Bank of Japan left its policy rate at 1% but kept a hawkish tone, signaling that additional hikes remain possible as inflation pressures persist. That matters for Bitcoin because tighter Japanese policy and yen volatility can ripple through global carry trades and broader risk appetite.

Bank of England stays at 3.75% as three members back hike
|
|
The Bank of England voted 6-3 to hold Bank Rate at 3.75% while warning that Middle East-driven energy volatility could still push inflation higher. The split underscores how sticky global price pressures are, a reminder that the rates environment remains restrictive for risk assets including Bitcoin.

🚨 RATE HIKE FEARS ARE RISING
Markets now show a 69% chance of another Fed rate hike before 2027.
Higher rates usually put pressure on liquidity and risk assets, which could create fresh volatility for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
This is a major macro risk traders should not ignore.

The first bitcoin I ever bought was from an eBay seller. Back in the day - Summer 2013 - we used to use paper wallets
This is how you’d receive it (see image)
You’d then move to your own paper wallet and leave 5 star review. We used to use https://t.co/7w9PVWUlow. Good times. https://t.co/sT5fntX7Tj

Trezor users: your funds are safe.
The recent Coldcard issue is limited to their own custom firmware and how some of their devices generated randomness. Trezor does not share that code.
We have always mixed multiple independent sources of randomness together (device hardware + host + secure elements on newer models).
We are truly sorry for everyone who has lost bitcoin.
Stay safe.

THIS IS INSANE.
$40,000,000 in $BTC was stolen because of the Coldcard wallet vulnerability.
The attacker exploited a flaw in Coldcard's key generation and stole these funds within 25 minutes.
Even cold wallets aren't safe now. https://t.co/vULxlMzJ26

99.71% OF BITCOIN'S HISTORY HAS CLOSED ABOVE THIS MVRV TRENDLINE.
Let that number destroy every bear argument you have.
Half of crypto is positioned for a dump that the data says isn't coming.
Waiting for lower prices at a level Bitcoin has spent 0.29% of its existence below.
The crowd has been wrong before.
But rarely this wrong.
Statistically. Historically. Mathematically.
The ones waiting on the sidelines for confirmation will get it long after the move has already happened.
Enjoy watching from the sidelines.
Or don't.

🔥 Bitcoin is up 9.82% in July after two red months.
Strong rebound so far, but can $BTC carry this momentum into August? https://t.co/t2K0WTjJx0
