According to a Reuters report, three Japanese government sources said the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is likely to raise interest rates in December, and the government is expected to tolerate the decision. The sources said the BOJ appears prepared to raise its policy rate from 0.5% to 0.75%, a signal echoed by Governor Kazuo Ueda in his speech on Monday. This would be the first rate hike since January. One source said, “If the BOJ wants to raise rates this month, let them decide. That’s the government’s position.” He added that a rate hike this month is almost certain. Ueda said on Monday that the BOJ would consider the “pros and cons” of a rate hike this month, indicating a high probability of a rate hike at its December 18-19 meeting. These comments have led the market to price in an 80% probability of a December rate hike, although some market participants are watching how the dovish government of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi might react. Market focus may shift to the BOJ’s wording regarding the extent to which it will ultimately raise rates, a topic on which Ueda has remained ambiguous.

Huoxun Finance News, December 4th - Following its previous $12 million investment in 20 million GNK coins, Bitfury announced that it will officially increase its overall strategic investment in Gonka to $50 million, becoming a key pillar of this decentralized AI computing network. This $50 million commitment will be used to accelerate the development of the Gonka protocol and ecosystem, promoting the expansion and global adoption of its efficient GPU network infrastructure. The Gonka team points out that the network adopts a Proof-of-Work (PoW) model for practical AI inference/training tasks, allowing contributors from single GPUs to large data centers to directly participate in computing power sharing, without the need for traditional cloud service providers or centralized computing power providers. Since its official launch in August 2025, Gonka's distributed GPU network has expanded rapidly, currently boasting a computing power equivalent to 6,000 H100 GPUs, demonstrating its potential to rival traditional cloud computing platforms. Bitfury stated that its investment in Gonka is not only a capital injection, but also a strategic support for the concept of "open, decentralized, and productivity-driven AI infrastructure".
