IREN also reported a $702.6 million net loss, which was affected by the impairment and other items. The charge was…

The Japanese yen recorded its largest one-day gain against the U.S. dollar after USD/JPY reversed from a recent high near 164.00, drawing renewed attention to how shifts in Japan’s currency could influence global financial conditions and, in turn, Bitcoin. The move came as traders weighed reports of possible intervention by Japanese authorities and a weaker U.S. dollar following the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting.
