Cryptopolitan (RSS)

Cryptopolitan (RSS)
Let’s cut to the chase: Japan just took a giant leap, hiking interest rates for the first time since 2007. Yeah, you read that right. After years of what seemed like an endless waltz with negative interest rates, the Bank of Japan has decided it’s time to turn the page.
