BESSENT’S $90B YEN INTERVENTION IS ALREADY LOSING ITS EFFECT
Scott Bessent made it a priority to push the Japanese yen lower through intervention. The effort reportedly cost roughly $90 billion, yet nearly half of the move has already been erased by the market.
If Japan ultimately adopts more durable policies to keep the yen weak, it could become a significant tailwind for Bitcoin.
