BREAKING: The Japanese Yen just hit 160 against the dollar again, the same level Japan spent $73 billion trying to defend earlier this year.
It did not work and The yen is back at 160.
A weak yen is a direct inflation crisis for Japan. The country imports nearly all of its energy. At $93 oil, every further drop in the yen makes that import bill more expensive.
The BOJ meets June 15-16 and is expected to hike rates from 0.75% to 1.0%. A rate hike in Japan matters far beyond Japan. The entire world has been borrowing cheaply in yen for years to fund investments in US stocks, crypto, and AI. When Japanese rates rise, that trade unwinds. Investors sell their positions and convert back to yen.
The day after, June 16-17, Kevin Warsh chairs his very first Fed meeting. He is inheriting 3.8% inflation, $93 oil, and a jobs market running twice as hot as expected.
Markets are now fully pricing in a rate hike by year end. If both the BOJ and Fed signal tightening in the same week, the liquidity that has been holding this market up faces its most serious test of 2026.
BREAKING: President Trump DHS just posted this video saying: โIf you riot, you will be ARRESTEDโ

๐จ OMG. President Trump CUTS OFF and WALKS OUT of a Kristen Welker interview
He looks her in the eyes and tells her SHE'S A LIAR, then storms off!
"The elections are like a 3rd world country. YOU'RE CROOKED...let's call it QUITS. I've HAD ENOUGH."
WELKER: Please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin!
TRUMP: "I've sat in the RAIN with you for an HOUR! I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let's GO."
WELKER: *Whines*
BEST PRESIDENT EVER ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
**Verified.** It's not ChatGPT itself announcing or "adopting BTC."
MoonPay launched its own app in the ChatGPT App Store on May 22, 2026 (Friday). This makes it the first crypto onramp inside OpenAI's chatbot: users can ask ChatGPT to generate a MoonPay checkout link to buy Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, USDC, and 100+ other tokens directly in the conversation.
You still need to complete KYC and connect a payment method/wallet as usual. ChatGPT has hundreds of millions of users, so this is a notable step for easier crypto access via AI, but the "900M users can now buy Bitcoin" framing is hype. No direct ChatGPT endorsement of BTC.
JUST IN: ๐บ๐ธ President Trump says he will not let other countries replace US as the Bitcoin & crypto "capital of the world."
"It is a major industry, and we must protect it."
๐จWATCH: Kash Patel goes NUCLEAR on Adam Schiff, "I am combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of YOU! We have constantly proven YOU to be a LIAR in Russiagate, J6.. you are the BIGGEST FRAUD to ever sit in the US Senate. You are a DISGRACE to this institution."
