US Congress Considers Exit Plan to End 34-Day Government Shutdown, Disrupting About $1.7 Trillion in Federal Funding

COINOTAG News reports that, after a prolonged government shutdown, U.S. lawmakers signaled a potential exit plan to break the deadlock. The 34‑day standoff has paused core operations—from low‑income assistance to soldier pay and airport services—and the fiscal year began October 1 without enacted funding. The delay raises budget execution risk for federal programs and colors the macro backdrop for markets, including crypto news coverage.

Discretionary spending frozen at about $1.7 trillion equals roughly one‑third of annual outlays. Since October 1, party leaders have pursued a concrete settlement in private meetings, yet no final agreement has emerged. For the crypto markets, policy uncertainty can dampen risk appetite and liquidity, highlighting the need for greater regulatory clarity in digital assets.

Analysts warn that volatility could persist until a funding bill passes. Investors should monitor the progress of the exit plan and any Washington signals as catalysts for both traditional assets and blockchain and crypto sectors.
