The Bank of Japan (BOJ) stated that, at today’s monetary policy meeting, the BOJ’s Policy Board reviewed developments and operations in the Japanese government bond (JGB) market and discussed future guidelines for JGB purchases. In principle, long-term interest rates should be determined by financial markets; therefore, it is appropriate for the central bank to conduct JGB purchases in a predictable manner while retaining sufficient flexibility to support JGB market stability. Based on this approach, and to improve the efficiency and stability of the JGB market, the BOJ decided—by a vote of 7 to 1—to implement the following measures: Starting now through March 2027, the BOJ will reduce its monthly JGB purchase target by approximately ¥200 billion per natural quarter, in principle. From April 2027 onward, its monthly JGB purchase target will be maintained at approximately ¥2 trillion. Should long-term interest rates rise rapidly, the BOJ will respond flexibly—for example, by increasing the scale of JGB purchases or conducting fixed-rate JGB purchase operations (both of which are exempt from the monthly JGB purchase target), as well as conducting funding operations against pooled collateral. Furthermore, the BOJ will no longer conduct mid-term reviews of its direct JGB purchase program. However, the BOJ stands ready to adjust the pace of JGB purchases at future monetary policy meetings, as deemed necessary, based on the fundamental principles guiding JGB purchases and other factors—including developments in the JGB market.

According to Bitcoin.com, the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) recently released an updated Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulatory guidance, requiring cryptocurrency firms operating in Dubai to integrate FATF high-risk and blacklist country data into their risk-scoring models in real time—replacing the previous static compliance tracking mechanism. Under the new rules, firms must update their risk assessments at least once every three months, and immediately upon any material change to their operational structure or product offerings. Additionally, proliferation financing risks and targeted financial sanctions risks must be assessed separately and may not be broadly conflated with AML compliance. Firms are also required to formally document risks arising from AI-assisted operations and privacy-enhancing exchanges. VARA stated that compliance officers, senior management, and board members bear full responsibility for their company’s residual risk rating, signaling a regulatory shift from post-hoc enforcement toward proactive, systemic risk management.

10x Research released a report stating that the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have continuously shifted over the past decade, indicating that holding altcoins long-term is not the optimal strategy—momentum trading is more critical. A bullish stance can be maintained if an altcoin trades above its 6-month or 12-month moving average; once it falls below, investors should decisively reduce positions. Using a dual-screening framework based on fundamental catalysts and risk management, the firm has currently identified six altcoins exhibiting strong bullish catalysts and meeting risk-management criteria. Historical data shows such a carefully selected portfolio is likely to significantly outperform Bitcoin.
