The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has decided to maintain interest rates at 0.25%, alleviating concerns about the unwinding of the Yen carry trade.
This decision led to a 2.10% rise in the Nikkei index. Bitcoin surged by 3%, approaching $64,000, while altcoins like Ethereum saw gains between 4-10%.
BOJ officials' move has sparked bullish momentum in the cryptocurrency market.
