According to Odaily, the Bank of Japan is anticipated to increase its benchmark interest rate to 0.5% on Friday, marking a 25 basis point hike, the largest since February 2007. This move signals signs of Japan's economic normalization. Last month, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda outlined two key considerations for potential rate hikes, which have now become clearer. The country's wage growth momentum appears strong, and no major market disruptions have occurred during the early days of U.S. President Trump's second term. Insiders suggest that a rate hike on Friday is likely unless unexpected negative developments arise from Trump. While Ueda is unlikely to specify a precise rate path to maintain flexibility, overly dovish statements could weaken the yen and exacerbate inflation pressures. This situation may prompt monetary authorities to remain vigilant about potential market interventions.

Odaily Planet Daily News The market generally expects the Bank of Japan to raise its benchmark interest rate to 0.5% on Friday. The 25 basis point rate hike will be the largest since February 2007, further showing signs that Japan's economy is finally returning to normal. The two key points that Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda proposed last month to consider when considering a rate hike have been basically clear. So far, the country's wage growth momentum looks strong, and there have been no major market shocks in the first few days of U.S. President Trump's second term. People familiar with the matter said earlier that Bank of Japan officials believe that there is a high possibility of a rate hike on Friday unless Trump creates too many negative surprises. Although Kazuo Ueda is unlikely to give any specific interest rate path to keep his options open, a statement that sounds too dovish may lead to a weaker yen and increase inflationary pressures. This may also make monetary authorities highly vigilant about the possible need to intervene directly in the market. (Jinshi)

Odaily Planet Daily News According to Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor in the United States and now working in the white collar defense department of Paul Hastings Law Firm, although the pardon can cancel the confiscation of property, most of the Bitcoin held by Ross Ulbricht, the now-released founder of the dark web Silk Road, has been sold and the proceeds have been spent. After the jury found Ulbricht guilty of drug trafficking and money laundering, the judge also ordered him to forfeit nearly $184 million. To fulfill the judgment, the U.S. Marshals Service arranged a series of auctions to sell more than 144,000 Bitcoins owned by Ulbricht. The timing was bad. The marshals sold the Bitcoin in early 2014, when Bitcoin had just fallen from more than $1,000 to a low of nearly $300. Today, those 144,000 bitcoins are worth about $14 billion, but they sold for just over $48 million, or about $334 per coin, less than 0.5% of their current value. That doesn’t mean Ulbricht, 40, is now penniless. With his mother’s help, he maintained an active social media presence during his incarceration and sold art and NFTs, making millions, though his family planned to use those funds for legal fees at the time. It’s also possible (though there’s no evidence to support this) that Ulbricht had other bitcoin wallets that the FBI didn’t find when he was arrested. Fortune sent an email to the address published on the Ulbricht family’s Free Ross page asking if Ulbricht had additional bitcoins or if he planned to file a legal action to overturn the seizure, but did not receive a response. It is understood that the FBI wallet that once stored more than 144,000 bitcoins of Ulbricht currently holds only slightly more than 1 bitcoin, with a balance of about $129,000. It is not clear how these funds will be handled. Yesterday, Conor Grogan, director of Coinbase, posted on the X platform that he found about 430 BTC in dozens of wallets related to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road. These wallets were not confiscated by the US government that year and have not been moved for more than 13 years. At that time, these addresses may have been just "dust wallets" (referring to wallets with too little money to be cared about). Now they are worth about $47 million in total. If Ross Ulbricht can still find the private key, he may be able to recover this part of the assets.
