Economist: Bank of Japan Most Likely to Hike Rates in July, Yen Depreciation May Force Early Action

**Bloomberg Survey: Yen Movements Key to BOJ Policy; Market Eyes Earlier Rate Hike** A January 16 Bloomberg survey of 52 economists finds exchange rate dynamics are emerging as a critical variable shaping the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) policy decisions. Amid persistent yen weakness and rising inflationary pressures, market expectations for an early BOJ rate hike are growing. All respondents unanimously expect the BOJ to hold its benchmark rate steady at 0.75% at its January 22-23 policy meeting. For the next rate hike, July is the most popular call (48% of economists), while 17% each see a move in April or June. Economists broadly project the BOJ will stick to a once-every-six-months rate-hike pace going forward. But sustained yen depreciation pushing up inflation expectations could force the central bank to accelerate action. Junju Iwahashi, an economist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, noted a dollar-yen drop below 160 could significantly speed up the rate-hike timeline. The yen

A man in Utah, USA, has been sentenced to three years in prison for cryptocurrency fraud

**January 16 – The U.S. Department of Justice announced a Utah man has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for his role in a cryptocurrency fraud scheme.** Brian Garry Sewell, 54, of Washington County, Utah, operated an illegal cash-to-crypto exchange and defrauded investors of roughly $2.9 million. After pleading guilty, he was sentenced to 36 months behind bars, with three years of supervised release to follow. The court also ordered him to pay more than $3.8 million in restitution to victims and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Prosecutors said Sewell deceived at least 17 investors between December 2017 and April 2024 by falsifying his experience, educational background, and purported ability to deliver high returns. The Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Salt Lake City Field Office noted Sewell’s false promises led to significant financial losses for multiple individuals and families. The investigation launched in 2020 and took nearly five years to w

Fed's New Board Member: Not in a Hurry to Cut Rates, Sees Employment Risk as Higher than Inflation Risk

On January 16, Anna Paulson—Philadelphia Fed’s newly installed president and a 2026 FOMC voting member—said in her first national media interview there’s no need to rush rate cuts, explicitly backing Fed Chair Powell’s leadership and central bank independence. Paulson noted current interest rates remain slightly above the neutral range, which continues pushing inflation toward the 2% target. She expressed “satisfaction” with the Fed’s rate hold at its January meeting. She expects substantial inflation progress this year, but any rate cut later in 2024 will hinge on two factors: whether inflation eases as forecast, and whether the labor market sees an unexpected deterioration. On risk balance, Paulson said downside risks to the labor market are “slightly higher than” those of sticky inflation. She pointed out recent job growth has been heavily concentrated in healthcare and social assistance, and the labor market’s cooling has exceeded expectations. Any sign of a shift from “sl

If Bitcoin drops below $94,000, the mainstream CEX long liquidation pressure will reach 263 million.

January 16 — Per Coinglass data, if Bitcoin drops below $94,000, cumulative long liquidation strength across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $263 million. On the flip side, if Bitcoin rises above $97,000, cumulative short liquidation strength on major CEXs will reach $97.57 million (rounded from the original $97.5681 million). Note from BlockBeats: Liquidation charts do not show the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or their precise value. Instead, the bars on these charts reflect how important each liquidation cluster is relative to adjacent clusters — this is what’s meant by "strength." As such, liquidation charts indicate how much the underlying asset’s price will react when it hits a specific level. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more pronounced price response driven by a liquidity cascade.

KAITO is down 19% in the last 24 hours, with nearly 25.8 million tokens currently staked, requiring a 7-day unbonding period

On January 16, AI Auntie monitoring shows X has revoked API access for the InfoFi app, causing KAITO to drop 19% in 24 hours. Per the Kaito Dune dashboard, 25,798,188 KAITO tokens are currently staked (valued at ~$14.16 million), with an average of 589 tokens staked per address. Given KAITO’s 7-day unstaking lockup period, this staked supply has already faced 19% forced dilution. AI Auntie noted: “We can expect a wave of selling pressure in seven days—it hinges on whether the team can win over the market with a new strategy. That said, their response speed yesterday suggests they had advance preparation for this.”
