Japanese Yen FAQs

The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese and US bond yields, or risk sentiment among traders, among other factors.

One of the Bank of Japan’s mandates is currency control, so its moves are key for the Yen. The BoJ has directly intervened in currency markets sometimes, generally to lower the value of the Yen, although it refrains from doing it often due to political concerns of its main trading partners. The BoJ ultra-loose monetary policy between 2013 and 2024 caused the Yen to depreciate against its main currency peers due to an increasing policy divergence between the Bank of Japan and other main central banks. More recently, the gradually unwinding of this ultra-loose policy has given some support to the Yen.

Over the last decade, the BoJ’s stance of sticking to ultra-loose monetary policy has led to a widening policy divergence with other central banks, particularly with the US Federal Reserve. This supported a widening of the differential between the 10-year US and Japanese bonds, which favored the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. The BoJ decision in 2024 to gradually abandon the ultra-loose policy, coupled with interest-rate cuts in other major central banks, is narrowing this differential.

The Japanese Yen is often seen as a safe-haven investment. This means that in times of market stress, investors are more likely to put their money in the Japanese currency due to its supposed reliability and stability. Turbulent times are likely to strengthen the Yen’s value against other currencies seen as more risky to invest in.

Cleaning Up Crypto ATMs Isn’t Anti-Crypto

The post Cleaning Up Crypto ATMs Isn’t Anti-Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. When Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird filed lawsuits against CoinFlip and Bitcoin Depot earlier this year, a few astroturfed voices cried that this consumer protection push was “anti-crypto.” They’re wrong. Crypto ATMs – physical kiosks that let users buy crypto – have become a vehicle for fraud, and they need reform. Law enforcement, regulators, and consumer advocates have all raised concerns about these machines for years. DC AG Brian Schwalb sued Athena Bitcoin in September. Pennsylvania AG Dave Sunday has warned that BATMs are a “magnet for scammers.” Arizona AG Kris Mayes even posted “STOP” signs at some crypto ATM locations.  Congressional scrutiny is also increasing. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), a longtime Bitcoin advocate, has called for stronger safeguards. Earlier this year, Senate Judiciary Ranking Member Dick Durbin highlighted abuses, and a few weeks ago, Senator Elizabeth Warren called out crypto ATM operators, signaling that regulatory pressure will only intensify. The Evidence Nationwide, the FBI estimates that in the first half of 2025 , Americans lost $240 million to crypto ATM fraud. The Iowa AG’s office contacted the top 50 Bitcoin Depot users in Iowa between 2021 and 2024, representing more than $2.4 million in transactions. Of the 34 who responded, every single one confirmed they had been scammed. Likewise, an investigation by the DC Attorney General uncovered that 93% (!) of Athena ATM deposits in the District of Columbia during a five-month period were scam transactions.  The stories follow a predictable pattern: romance scams, bogus police calls, phony tech support. Scammers play on panic, steering victims to crypto ATMs where they’re told to pour in cash and send crypto to wallets run by criminals. Store clerks at the convenience stores and smoke shops where the kiosks are hosted have tried to intervene, but to do so effectively, they need training…
