$BTC Arthur Hayes, co-fondatore di BitMEX, teorizza che la Federal Reserve degli Stati Uniti supporterà i mercati finanziari giapponesi in difficoltà stampando dollari per acquistare yen, per poi utilizzare quegli yen per acquistare obbligazioni del governo giapponese. Questa azione espanderebbe il bilancio della Fed attraverso un aumento della stampa di denaro, che secondo Hayes, porterà Bitcoin e alcune criptovalute selezionate a salire nel valore in valuta fiat. Collega i segnali di stress in aumento nei rendimenti obbligazionari giapponesi e un yen in indebolimento a una potenziale intervento della Fed per stabilizzare i mercati globali e proteggere gli interessi statunitensi, poiché il Giappone detiene sostanziali titoli del Tesoro statunitensi.

Japan is once again taking a proactive stance in shaping the future of cryptocurrency regulation, especially around stablecoins and digital asset markets. On January 27, 2026, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) — Japan’s top financial regulator — officially launched a public consultation period to gather feedback on a set of draft regulatory rules aimed at strengthening the legal framework for stablecoins and broader crypto-related activities.
The consultation runs through February 27, 2026, and invites input from financial institutions, fintech firms, industry stakeholders, and members of the public. Regulators intend to use this feedback to finalize rules tied to recent legislative changes, notably the amendments to the Payment Services Act that have overhauled Japan’s digital asset regulatory landscape.

Focus of the Public Consultation
The heart of the FSA’s request for public input centers on draft rules that would define which types of bonds can serve as reserve assets for regulated stablecoins — particularly those pegged to the Japanese yen. Under the draft:
Only high-quality financial instruments (such as government bonds and other top-rated securities) would be eligible as backing for stablecoin reserves.Certain conditions — like minimum credit ratings and issuer size — are being proposed to ensure the stability and liquidity of reserve assets.

By narrowing eligible collateral to stronger assets, the FSA intends to protect investors and reduce systemic risks that have previously plagued unstable algorithmic stablecoin models globally.
In addition to stablecoin reserves, the draft proposals include updated supervisory guidelines for banks, insurers, and crypto intermediaries — emphasizing stronger risk management, clearer disclosure standards, and tighter compliance expectations.
📌 Why This Matters
1. Implementing the 2025 Payment Services Act
The public consultation is part of Japan’s broader efforts to implement the 2025 overhaul of its Payment Services Act, a foundational legal framework governing digital payments and crypto assets. These amendments aim to bring clarity and legal certainty to previously ambiguous areas of digital finance regulation.
2. Strengthening Financial Stability and Consumer Protection
Japan is focused on ensuring that regulated stablecoins are backed by assets that are liquid, secure, and transparent — reducing the risk of rapid de-pegging or asset illiquidity in times of market stress. This approach reflects lessons learned from global crypto market failures and demonstrates a commitment to sound financial oversight.
3. Encouraging Innovation within a Secure Framework
Despite its stringent standards, Japan’s approach is seen as balanced: regulators want to foster innovation in fintech and digital payments while ensuring that growth does not come at the expense of investor safety. Several major Japanese financial institutions — including megabanks and fintech firms — are already piloting regulated token and payment initiatives aligned with this regulatory shift.
📣 Participation and Next Steps
Interested parties can submit comments through the FSA’s official consultation portal until February 27, 2026. After the deadline, the FSA will review submissions and proceed to finalize the rules, with implementation anticipated later this year.
This consultation represents a rare opportunity for industry players, institutional investors, and even everyday citizens to directly influence the regulatory framework that could define how digital assets operate in Japan for years to come.

Cosa sta davvero succedendo?

Il Giappone si è mosso silenziosamente in un modo che i mercati globali non ignorano mai.
Nessuna conferenza stampa.
Nessun titolo drammatico.
Solo un cambiamento sottile ma pericoloso nella postura finanziaria — il tipo che storicamente provoca reazioni a catena in tutto il mondo.
Quando il Giappone “estrae il perno,” non è rumore.
È un orologio di avvertimento.

Perché il Giappone è più importante di quanto le persone pensino
Il Giappone non è solo un'altra economia.
🇯🇵 Il maggiore detentore straniero di Treasury statunitensi
🏦 Casa di una delle politiche monetarie più aggressive del mondo

The Bank of Japan just hiked rates again — and yields are pushing into levels markets never priced in.
Make no mistake:
👉 This is not a Japan-only story.
👉 This is a global liquidity shock.
💥 What’s unfolding • $10 TRILLION+ in global debt collides with rising yields
• Capital begins flowing back to Japan
• $1 TRILLION+ yen carry trade starts to unwind
• Risk assets move toward one correlation
When correlations go to ONE…
🧨 Nothing hides. Everything reprices. Together.
🛑 The old playbook is gone Japan can’t print its way out anymore.
Inflation closed that door.
⏳ Markets now have a very narrow window to adjust
👀 What to watch closely • The yen
• Global liquidity conditions
• Risk assets across the board
⚡ Early rotations are already appearing — smart money is moving first.
📌 This isn’t noise.
📌 This is a regime shift.
