Recently, many people have been spreading rumors that Japan will raise interest rates on December 19th, and that all the money will run out, causing a financial explosion. But is that really the case?

Let's clarify: Japan's interest rate hike is not news at all. They started raising rates back in 2024, gradually from negative interest rates to the current 0.5%, and have done this several times. It's been almost two years, and rates are still very low. If funds were going to move out, they would have already done so in the past two years. Why wait until a widely known date to all rush out at once? That doesn't make sense.

Moreover, even if some capital does flow out due to the rate hike, experts estimate it would be around 2 trillion yen. This amount, in the global financial market, is like throwing a small stone into the ocean—it wouldn't even splash much, let alone cause a "tidal wave."

For us in crypto, the biggest taboo is to listen to rumors without verification. The market is already volatile; if we add unverified "rumor mill" information, impulsive actions can easily distort operations and lead to losses.

So, don't panic, and don't be swayed by rumors. When it comes to investing, always question the news, think for yourself, stay calm, and you'll be able to survive longer in this market and seize real opportunities.
