According to @AltcoinDaily, the government shutdown needs to end, highlighting policy risk for crypto markets source: @AltcoinDaily on X. For traders, a shutdown curtails U.S. SEC and CFTC staffing and can delay ETF reviews and rulemaking that drive BTC and ETH catalysts, per the U.S. SEC Operations During a Lapse in Appropriations and the CFTC Contingency Plan. Shutdowns also postpone federal economic data releases that shape rates and dollar pricing, raising event risk for risk assets that BTC often tracks, according to the Congressional Research Service analysis of shutdown effects and Kaiko research on BTC–equity correlation. A swift resolution that restores agency operations and data flow reduces policy uncertainty that markets price into risk premia, per the Congressional Research Service.
