According to Fox News, GOP lawmakers are initiating an investigation into threats made against ICE following an incident where Democratic members reportedly stormed an ICE facility (Fox News, May 14, 2025). This political development may introduce heightened regulatory uncertainty, which historically has led to increased volatility in the cryptocurrency markets as traders anticipate potential shifts in enforcement or oversight policies. Crypto assets with exposure to U.S. regulatory sentiment, such as Bitcoin and major altcoins, could see short-term price fluctuations as a result.
