The recent U.S. government shutdown may have a greater impact than before, as the surge in BTC and ETH indicates market unease

ChainCatcher News, the U.S. federal government has once again partially shut down. Analysis indicates that there have been 14 federal government shutdowns in the U.S. since 1981, most lasting one to two days. However, due to Trump's reciprocal tariffs and the controversy with Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, this government shutdown may have a greater impact than previous ones.

As the shutdown is confirmed, spot gold and December futures prices have reached historic highs of $3862 and $3903 per ounce, respectively. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have also surged, reflecting market unease and a strong desire for safe havens.
