U.S. Senate Votes on Plan to End Government Shutdown

On November 10, the U.S. Senate conducts a procedural vote to end the 40-day government shutdown, requiring 60 votes, with current support falling short at 56.

The prolonged shutdown drains $700 billion liquidity, significantly impacting cryptocurrencies, causing $20 billion in liquidations, with Bitcoin and Ethereum experiencing substantial outflows and increased volatility.

Senate Vote Crucial for Economic Stability and Crypto Markets

Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced progress in negotiations to end the government shutdown, which has reached 40 days. Thune emphasized the potential agreements focus on appropriations. As John Thune stated, “Announced progress on negotiations for ending the shutdown and noted potential agreements to be debated, including temporary and full-year appropriations.” The vote requires 60 votes to pass, with 56 for and 40 against. Key political figures such as former President Donald Trump have called for an end to the shutdown.

The government shutdown has drained approximately $700 billion in liquidity from the market since October 10, 2025, leading to increased funding costs. Cryptocurrency markets experienced significant sell-offs and volatility, with major impacts on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Nasdaq also showed a decline.

Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett has warned that ongoing shutdown risks GDP growth, while market reactions include notable outflows of 291,000 ETH from exchanges, reflecting confidence fluctuations in the crypto sector.
