Bitunix Analysts Warn of Market Volatility as Trump Prods Nuclear Option to Break US Government Shutdown Deadlock

U.S. government shutdown sentiment has escalated macro risk, with lawmakers debating procedural moves such as a possible ‘nuclear option’ to pass funding legislation by simple majority. The dispute has left about 750,000 federal employees furloughed and the CBO projects up to a 2% Q4 GDP drag, weighing on risk appetite in traditional assets.

Market analysts note the fallout could spill into digital assets, pressuring liquidity and heightening macro risk for Bitcoin and other Ethereum-adjacent tokens. Bitunix researchers say the tactic aims to sharpen Republican mobilization, but an unresolved stalemate risks eroding market confidence and triggering broader risk-off dynamics in crypto markets.

Investors should monitor congressional negotiations and credit-market signals as end-of-year liquidity volatility looms. In this backdrop, crypto portfolios may benefit from robust risk controls, hedging with stablecoins and selective exposure to top-tier digital assets to navigate potential shocks.
