Former Bank of Japan member Takako Masai: Trump's tariffs have halted the Bank of Japan's rate hike cycle U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs may have brought the Bank of Japan’s rate hike cycle to an end, and the likelihood of further increases is falling rapidly as exports are expected to take a hit, former Bank of Japan board member Takako Masai said on Thursday. Uncertainty over U.S. trade policy is causing huge disruptions to the global economy, which could hit Japan’s exports, output, wage growth and consumption, said Masai, who maintains close ties with current policymakers. U.S. auto tariffs are particularly damaging because of the huge role the auto industry plays in Japan’s economy. She said the “real test for the Japanese economy may come in 2026” because the impact of U.S. tariffs will begin to show in six to 12 months. “The Bank of Japan may not be able to raise interest rates for quite some time,” she said.

The crypto market is posting major green candles today, and it's no coincidence. News just broke that the United States and China have finalized a comprehensive trade agreement, officially ending the long-standing trade war that rattled global markets for years. As traditional finance cheers the geopolitical breakthrough, crypto markets are reacting just as strongly—if not more—with Bitcoin , Ethereum , and altcoins all posting double-digit gains. But is the trade deal the reason behind today’s rally? After over six years of tariffs, tech bans, and financial uncertainty, Washington and Beijing finally inked a deal covering tariffs, semiconductor supply chains, and digital trade. The agreement restores trade flows and improves cross-border cooperation, including in the blockchain and financial tech sectors. The announcement sent global stock markets surging, but the crypto market exploded. Analysts suggest that with a reduction in global risk and clearer economic outlooks, institutional investors are reallocating capital into risk-on assets, including crypto. The trade deal has created a “relief rally” environment that Bitcoin thrives in. Bitcoin ($BTC) is currently trading around $109,400, rising nearly 3% in the past 24 hours. After consolidating under $108K for most of the past week, the breakout comes as traders price in renewed optimism and macro clarity. With the next resistance near the $111K–$112K zone (its previous all-time high), bulls are eyeing a clean breakout. 📊 Key Chart Levels: Ethereum ($ETH) is outperforming $BTC today, jumping over 14% in 24 hours to reach above $2,700. Speculation around the SEC greenlighting a spot Ethereum ETF this month is heating up. Combined with the improved macro sentiment and strong staking data, $ETH is attracting renewed interest from institutional and retail traders alike. Several altcoins are outperforming today, especially those tied to potential ETF narratives or institutional utility: Even meme coins like $DOGE and $PEPE saw 5–10% gains amid the market-wide euphoria. According to data from CoinShares and Fidelity Digital, crypto funds recorded nearly $7 billion in inflows over the last 30 days, reaching an all-time high of $167B AUM. The end of the trade war gives hedge funds and family offices more clarity on macro conditions—freeing them to rotate back into risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Moreover, major banks like Société Générale are launching dollar-pegged stablecoins in Q3, while Coinbase reports surging demand for stablecoin-based remittances in Asia. Today’s price spike isn’t just a flash pump—it’s tied to a major geopolitical shift that affects the global economy. If the peace holds, and if CPI data tomorrow confirms cooling inflation in the US, crypto could enter a new bullish phase. But traders should watch for potential fakeouts, especially with Bitcoin flirting with resistance near its ATH. If bulls can reclaim $112K, we could see a surge toward $115K and beyond. $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $AVAX, $XRP, $DOGE, $PEPE The crypto market is posting major green candles today, and it's no coincidence.

Two defendants pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and torturing a man for weeks over his wallet password. Kidnappings are becoming a serious threat to high-profile crypto investors. On Wednesday, June 11, John Woeltz, 37, and William Duplessie, 33, pleaded not guilty to kidnapping a Bitcoin investor and attempting to steal his wallet data. According to prosecutors, the two men held and tortured the victim for three weeks starting on May 6, in a luxury SoHo apartment in New York. They allegedly beat him, shocked him with electric wires, and held him over a staircase before he managed to escape. The torture was intended to force the investor to hand over his Bitcoin wallet password, which would have given the attackers control over his crypto. If convicted, both suspects face up to life in prison for the brutal kidnapping. High-profile Bitcoin and crypto investors are increasingly attractive targets for kidnappers. Unlike traditional banking transfers, crypto transactions cannot be canceled or reversed. This means that once attackers gain access to funds, there is almost no way to retrieve them. For this reason, kidnappers tend to target individuals known to hold substantial crypto investments. Notably, France has become a major epicenter for crypto kidnappings, with at least six incidents recorded by May of 2025. Both crypto investors and their families are at risk when it comes to kidnappings. In a high-profile case in France, masked attackers attempted to kidnap the daughter and the grandson of Pierre Noizat, the CEO of crypto exchange Paymium. To protect themselves, crypto holders should never advertise their assets or disclose balances. At the same time, large holdings should be kept on cold storage devices or with custodians, so attackers cannot easily access them.
