【US Government Shutdown Risk Escalates, Cryptocurrency Markets May Experience Volatility】
The situation in Washington is becoming increasingly tense. Negotiations between the two parties in Congress over the January 30 budget bill have reached a deadlock. If negotiations break down, the US government faces a "shutdown" risk. This is not alarmist—if it happens, federal agencies will be paralyzed, millions of transactions will be blocked, and the release of key economic data will be forced to halt.
What does this mean for the crypto market? History provides the answer. During previous government shutdowns, US stocks, the dollar, and commodity futures all experienced significant volatility, with investor sentiment swinging amid uncertainty. Political uncertainty is often what funds fear most—it disrupts expectations, destroys pricing models, and triggers chain reactions.
Even more painfully, even if the two parties reach a compromise at the last minute to avoid a shutdown, the standoff itself is already enough. Political games and the collision with sensitive capital can trigger intense market fluctuations. When traditional finance faces policy black swans, crypto market volatility often amplifies twofold.
What’s your view? Is this shutdown risk a real threat or just routine political bargaining? Leave a comment and share your judgment.

Here we go again? When the US stock market falls, it's called political risk; when it rises, it's said to be unrelated to policies. This really cracks me up.

Another political black swan? We're all tired of this old script, and the key is that the crypto circle always goes crazy along with the storm...

It's the same old story. As soon as the political card comes out, the crypto circle has to tremble, history repeats itself.

Here we go again? Washington always does this, and in the end, they just pull it back forcibly. The crypto world is anyway following the US stock market's lead, used to it.

Another gambling on the political situation? Let's see what the on-chain whale addresses say... They have already been shifting positions a few days ago, data doesn't lie.

Is it going to halt again? Every time it happens like this, BTC should actually be going up.

Here comes the political uncertainty again? Every time it's a black swan, but the coins still go up... Is it a real threat or just the wolf coming? Anyway, I'll just hold my coins.
