Takaichi Scores a Landslide Win, Will a Japan Sparked Liquidity Party Begin... Bitcoin Smiles
Optimism is blowing through the Bitcoin (BTC) market as Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi—known as a “fiscal dove”—is forecast to achieve a record landslide in the general election. With the ruling party poised to secure formidable seats exceeding a simple majority and even eyeing the threshold to propose constitutional amendments, analysis suggests that “Takaichinomics,” centered on yen weakness and aggressive monetary easing, will gain momentum and stimulate risk-on sentiment.
According to Japan’s public broadcaster NHK on February 8 (local time), exit polls from the House of Representatives election indicate the LDP will secure between 274 and 328 seats, comfortably surpassing the 233-seat simple majority. This marks a complete comeback from the crushing defeat in October 2024, when the party lost its majority for the first time in 15 years. When combined with seats won by coalition partner Nippon Ishin no Kai (28–38 seats), the bloc could even exceed 310 seats—two-thirds of the 465-seat chamber.
If the ruling bloc controls at least 310 seats—two-thirds of the House of Representatives—it can override bills rejected by the opposition-controlled House of Councillors through revotes, completing a powerful legislative dominance. This effectively opens an “unlimited fast lane” for the swift implementation of expansionary fiscal policies and monetary easing championed by Prime Minister Takaichi, without resistance from opposition parties or intra-party dissent.
Markets are interpreting the election outcome as the opening signal for a “super weak yen.” Prime Minister Takaichi, an heir to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s economic policies, has consistently opposed interest-rate hikes. As her political position strengthens, rate increases by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) become more difficult, raising the likelihood of ample yen liquidity being supplied to markets. Historically, a weaker yen has boosted the appeal of risk assets priced against the dollar, acting as a catalyst for Bitcoin price appreciation.
Experts expect Japan-origin liquidity to become a new engine of upside for the cryptocurrency market. In particular, the LDP’s landslide victory is seen as easing fears of a forced unwinding of the yen carry trade, potentially redirecting sidelined global capital back into crypto assets such as Bitcoin. The prospect that Japan’s Web3 development policies could accelerate under strong government backing is another positive factor.
In conclusion, the LDP’s overwhelming win has removed macroeconomic uncertainty and reinforced a dovish monetary stance. With low interest rates and yen weakness likely to persist for the time being, Bitcoin appears poised to secure strong momentum toward establishing itself above $70,000, buoyed by favorable liquidity conditions originating from Japan.
