Crypto markets may face another sharp drop in December as Japan is expected to raise interest rates again. Higher rates unwind the yen carry trade, forcing investors to sell assets, including crypto. Past hikes in 2024 and 2025 saw Bitcoin fall nearly 25%. A similar move could spark fast sell-offs and volatility. However, with Japan’s economy weak and global liquidity slowly improving, this drop could mark a final bottom before a stronger 2026 rally.
