According to Fox News, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Lara Trump that the Democratic Party is prioritizing making a spectacle of former President Donald Trump instead of addressing core American issues (source: Fox News, May 11, 2025). This ongoing political tension in Washington increases market uncertainty, which has historically led to higher volatility in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Crypto traders should closely monitor U.S. political developments for potential regulatory or sentiment shifts that may impact digital asset prices.
