U.S. Senate Advances Bill to End Government Shutdown

On November 11, 2025, the U.S. Senate approved a bill to end the record-long government shutdown, initially advanced on November 9, now under House consideration.

The bill aims to resolve federal funding issues by January 30, 2026, potentially affecting macro-financial stability and indirectly impacting crypto asset volatility, including BTC and ETH.

Senate Moves Forward to End Record-Long Shutdown

The U.S. Senate took a significant step by advancing a House-approved funding bill. This action follows bipartisan cooperation, with Democratic and Republican senators working together to support the move. Senate Majority Leader John Thune played a pivotal role in guiding the process.

Federal appropriations extension aims to fund the government until January 30, 2026, covering critical sectors like Agriculture, Defense, and Veterans Affairs. Immediate implications include mitigating government service disruptions and reducing economic uncertainties.

“We are committed to ensuring that we move forward on vital funding to end this record-long shutdown.” – Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.)

Financial markets and the crypto industry are closely watching the developments. Although there are no official comments from crypto leaders, market observers note potential for increased volatility in response to evolving fiscal conditions.

Bitcoin Volatility Anticipated Amid Fiscal Uncertainty

Did you know? Historical data shows that Bitcoin (BTC) often experiences increased volatility during U.S. government shutdowns, influenced by broader economic uncertainties.

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently valued at $106,945.13, with a market cap of $2.13 trillion and dominance at 59.58%, based on CoinMarketCap data. BTC’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $66.13 billion, reflecting a 2.54% decline. Over the past 90 days, BTC’s price has decreased by 10.37%.

Coincu’s research team observes that prolonged legislative processes could lead to fluctuations in crypto markets, especially as fiscal policies shift. Historical trends suggest that such uncertainties impact macro-sensitive assets, with Bitcoin often serving as a barometer during economic challenges.
