Arthur Hayes: Japan's Capital Repatriation Could Become a Catalyst for Global Capital ReallocationOn September 8, 2026, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes CryptoHayes said in an interview with The Rollup therollupco that Japan has long used yen carry trades to allocate large amounts of capital to overseas assets. If Japanese policy shifts, pension funds and other institutions could sell overseas assets, convert the proceeds back into yen, and invest the funds in Japanese government bonds, domestic companies, and real estate. He said that once this capital repatriation process is fully underway, it would be difficult to stop, potentially strengthening the yen while forcing the Federal Reserve to provide liquidity through repurchase agreements.Wu Blockchain cautioned that Arthur Hayes’ historical track record for market predictions has been relatively inaccurate and that his views are often subject to change. It recommends focusing on his analytical framework rather than his specific price and timing predictions.
