  • U.S. Partial Government Shutdown Adds Pressure to Bitcoin and Ether Prices
    January 31, 2026, 4:22 AM EST. The U.S. government entered a partial shutdown after missing a funding deadline, creating uncertainty in the already fragile crypto market. Bitcoin hovered around $83,559, gaining 1% for the day but losing 6.8% over the past week. Ether dropped 1.9% in 24 hours to about $2,686, down 9% weekly. XRP also declined close to 10% over seven days. The shutdown is expected to be brief, with the Senate passing a funding package, yet the House's weekend recess causes a technical lapse. This timing coincides with thin weekend liquidity, intensifying volatility. The shutdown acts as a sentiment stress test, prompting cautious trading, smaller position sizes, and amplifying price dips amid uncertain news flow.
