🚀 BTC Soars to $106K As 41-Day US Govt Shutdown Nears an End
📊News flash: Bitcoin bounces back past $106,000 on early Monday, for the first time since last week, as reports buzz that the Senate has reached an agreement to end the government shutdown.
Crypto Market Reacts 🔥
“It looks we’re getting close to the shutdown ending,” – Trump said to White House reporters on Sunday evening.
On Sunday, the U.S. Govt released a bill to end the longest-ever shutdown in American history. The US Senate, on Monday night, passed the continuing resolution to reopen the government and put an end to the longstanding political crisis and financial setbacks.
BTC Hits $106K: According to CoinGecko, BTC rose by nearly 4% on Nov 10. Major altcoins like ETH gained about 7% to $3,600, and XRP climbed almost 10% within 24 hours. The overall crypto trading volume spiked.
Trump’s $2K Dividends: On November 9, Trump announced on Truth Social that American citizens (excluding high-income earners) will receive a $2000 tariff dividend. This acted as a catalyst, further boosting the crypto market prices.
The long shutdown crippled financial and crypto markets, and U.S. stocks and other risk assets tumbled for weeks. The Senate’s approval will restore trader confidence in risk assets, drive liquidity, and open gates to SEC clearance of long-awaited XRP Spot ETFs.
