Why did IRYS drop 2.16% in 1 minute? Evidence check: Irys falls sharply in one minute while most other tracked coins move differently · 2026-10-24
Irys fell in a one-minute move on Gate's IRYS/USDT market, a drop large enough to stand out from its recent behavior. The move was isolated: few other tracked coins moved the same way, and none fell further. It coincided with Bitcoin reports but no monitored report explains it. The cause is unresolved.
