Bitcoin in focus as U.S. government faces partial shutdown risk
Financial and cryptocurrency markets are on edge as the U.S. federal government faces a partial shutdown risk, though analysts see the impact as limited. Of 12 budget bills, 6 have passed, and past shutdown threats often end in last-minute deals. Polymarket put the chance of a Jan. 31 shutdown at 75 percent, with bets topping $13.3 million. Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.33 billion of net outflows, attributed mainly to Fed policy and big tech earnings.
