The anticipation of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) has led to global market deleveraging, impacting the cryptocurrency sector. Bitcoin experienced a temporary decline, while gold prices rose, indicating a shift of safe-haven funds towards gold. Over the past two weeks, the crypto market has generally declined, with AI, DePIN, and L2 sectors experiencing significant drops.
