#隐私币板块集体上扬 $AT $ETH Global central banks "step on the brakes," why is Japan raising interest rates alone? Will the 2026 investment trend change?

As 2025 draws to a close, the global central banks' "interest rate cut feast" has finally become unsustainable.

This year, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand was particularly aggressive—cutting interest rates by 200 basis points directly. The Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and Bank of England also followed suit, easing monetary policy. But now? The trend has suddenly shifted.

Look at the current situation—

**Most people have stopped**

After several rounds of rate cuts, the European Central Bank has not moved since July, entering a wait-and-see mode. The Swiss National Bank also did the same—after cutting, it maintained a 0% rate and no longer intends to move.

**Some are still moving, but at varying speeds**

The Federal Reserve and Bank of England haven't fully paused yet; market estimates suggest they may continue to cut in 2026. In contrast, Canada and Australia have already cut enough and are now observing.

**Japan is raising rates against the wind**

This is the real anomaly. While the world is easing liquidity, the Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 0.75% in December—its highest in 30 years. They clearly stated: we are pushing for monetary policy normalization.

Three actions, one major turning point.

What does this mean? The investment landscape in 2026 is likely to be reshuffled. The US dollar and British pound, due to expectations of relative easing, may be suppressed. Safe-haven assets like gold are becoming more attractive. What about the crypto market? Changes in liquidity expectations will definitely influence investors' risk appetite—this cannot be underestimated.

The tide is indeed turning. Is your investment portfolio ready to keep up?
