Metaplanet has key advantage over US-based Bitcoin treasuries: Analyst

The Japanese yen is commonly used by macroeconomic investors to carry out levered bets because of its artificially low interest rates.

Metaplanet, a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury company, may have a financial edge over other digital asset treasury companies due to structural weakness in the Japanese yen (JPY), according to BTC analyst and crypto treasury company investor Adam Livingston.

Japan’s debt-to-gross-domestic-product ratio is about 250%, Livingston said. This high debt level continues to weaken the yen, which must be printed to shore up deficits every year, contributing to an even higher debt level and an erosion of the yen’s value.

Measured in US dollar terms, BTC has appreciated by about 1,159% since 2020, but BTC gained 1,704% over the same time period if measured against the Japanese yen, he said.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
