The post Japan Is Repeating a Rare Policy Experiment That Rocked UK, Turkey, and US Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japan’s government is pushing public pension funds to buy more domestic assets, even as the Bank of Japan raises rates and trims its bond holdings. Japan’s policy split now pits fiscal stimulus against monetary tightening. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said this week that Japan wants the Government Pension Investment Fund and other public funds to lift their home holdings. The goal is to steady bonds and the yen while the BOJ pulls back. Japan’s Policy Split is Deliberate The Government Pension Investment Fund manages about $1.8 trillion, making it the world’s largest. Close to half sits in foreign stocks and bonds, so even a small shift home moves global markets. The push follows earlier calls from lawmakers to invest more at home.

The post Russia Cuts Crypto Reporting Threshold to 60,000 Rubles, Bitcoin Flows in Focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Russia is moving to force detailed reporting on crypto transfers above 60,000 rubles, roughly $780, handing its financial-intelligence agency Rosfinmonitoring sweeping visibility into digital-asset flows. Under the draft amendment, any digital-asset depository operating in Russia — plus foreign institutions serving Russian clients — must report once a transfer crosses that line, down from the earlier 100,000-ruble ceiling.

For transfers below the floor, only the client name and wallet ID are required. The rule targets one of the sanctions-era’s fastest-growing payment rails. The proposal draws a second, higher line for cross-border commerce. Crypto settlements tied to foreign trade would be automatically forwarded

In February 2026, he reiterated this point at the Alfa Talk forum when he stated that the volume o
