Japan's latest budget proposal has sparked heated discussions in the market. After the announcement of the record-high budget of 122.3 trillion yen, which on the surface is a commitment to "maintain fiscal discipline," the actual implementation involves significant expansionary fiscal policies—this stark contrast has directly impacted the yen exchange rate, while the cryptocurrency market has instead encountered new opportunities.



From an economic logic perspective, Japan is caught in a difficult dilemma: inflationary pressures and slowing economic growth force the government to implement expansionary fiscal measures, but large-scale government bond issuance raises concerns about fiscal sustainability, leading to yen sell-offs. The depreciation of the yen then pushes up import costs, further fueling inflation—this cycle seems intractable.

However, markets often find an exit. As the yen continues to weaken, Japanese investors will eagerly seek hedging assets. Historical cases have already demonstrated this: during Japan's 17 trillion yen stimulus package in 2021, large amounts of funds flowed into cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, significantly boosting trading volumes in Asia-Pacific. The current budget scale is more than seven times that amount, implying that potential capital inflows could grow exponentially.

What’s more noteworthy is that the Japanese government has a relatively open attitude toward crypto innovation, possibly adjusting the tax system to lower barriers and costs for investors. This effectively paves the way for large capital inflows into the crypto market.

In simple terms, the driving force behind this round of market activity is not just liquidity spillover, but "yen depreciation-driven risk aversion demand." Understanding this underlying logic will be more helpful in grasping the market rhythm.

Japan's recent moves are truly a tug-of-war, promising to control fiscal results but then easing policy, causing the yen to depreciate rapidly. I get this logic—Japanese people are eager to find hedging assets. Last time, 17 trillion yen fueled Bitcoin's rise; this time, the scale is more than seven times larger... Crypto is about to take off. The government also maintains an open attitude toward crypto—how much capital must be flowing in? History always repeats itself, just on a different scale.

The yen is rapidly depreciating. Are Japanese people rushing to Bitcoin? I can accept this logic.

Japan has started playing this game again. The promised fiscal discipline quickly turns into massive spending, and the yen is directly doomed. But for our crypto circle, this might actually be an opportunity. A budget scale of 7 times? Where will the hot money flow? It will definitely flow to us, as proven in 2021. But to be fair, the Japanese government's open attitude is a good thing, but we still have to wait for actual implementation. Don't get too excited. The cycle of yen depreciation is indeed unsolvable; we can only pray that funds don't all rush into inflationary goods, and some should flow into crypto. Brilliant—government-created safe-haven demand indirectly advertises crypto assets.

Japan has started easing monetary policy again, and this time the scale is outrageously large. The yen is bound to collapse, and our coins should rise. This logical chain is actually very clear: either the Japanese buy Bitcoin or the yen continues to depreciate. There is no third option. A budget scale of 7 trillion... Damn, the funds flowing into the crypto market must be terrifying. Bet on Japan's tax reform; it seems the government has already regarded crypto as a "safety valve." The previous wave in 2021 with 17 trillion could pull so much volume, and now with this scale, I can only say... what are we waiting for? Yen depreciation = safe-haven demand, this is the core. Don't be fooled by superficial fiscal discipline; paper promises are all fake. Wait, will the Japanese government really be generous enough to lower the tax costs on crypto investments? I have my doubts... This unresolvable cycle is actually an opportunity for us. The more Japan hesitates, the more we make money.
