Japan's central bank just raised its core-core CPI forecast for fiscal 2027 to 2.1%—up from the 2.0% estimate back in October. This shift matters for crypto markets, as BOJ policy pivots typically reshape global liquidity flows and reshape investor risk appetite. Watch the inflation trajectory closely.

The Bank of Japan's move, to put it simply, is laying the groundwork for tightening liquidity. The 2.1% inflation expectation in February 2027 seems moderate, but you need to pay attention—every time the BOJ shifts policy, it triggers on-chain chaos in permission configurations, and historically, many smart contracts have exposed re-entrancy vulnerabilities during such macroeconomic volatility. To be blunt, DeFi protocols that are still in their wild growth phase simply cannot withstand such liquidity shocks.

so boj finally admitting inflation ain't going away... 2.1% might sound small but the p-value on this particular policy shift is absolutely unhinged for liquidity flows ngl

BOJ is starting to play the inflation game again, this time raising to 2.1%... Basically, it's a signal that the liquidity policy is about to change. Previously, many people said it was stable, but now the liquidity trend is shifting. The crypto market's next move really depends on the Japanese Central Bank's stance. Damn it.

The Bank of Japan's recent increase in inflation expectations seems to be steadily advancing the rate hike outlook... Is global liquidity tightening about to begin again?
