BREAKING – Trump Signs Bill, Crypto Markets Sigh in Relief (For Now)

by

So, late Wednesday, Donald Trump-yes, that guy-finally signed a bill ending the 43-day government shutdown. Big deal, right? Federal agencies are back to business, services are getting unstuck, and the country’s longest shutdown in modern history is over. Hooray. 🎉

Reports say the bill passed through both houses this week like a hot knife through butter, moving quickly to restore pay and services. Because, you know, that’s what we do-fix things fast when they break… sometimes.

Pay and Services: Back in Action (Sort of)

According to the oh-so-official House materials (yawn), the bill passed the House by a thrilling 222-209 vote. It’s packed with continuing appropriations that will fund agencies through January 30, 2026. Yep, that’s right, folks. More than 3 years of funding. Because who doesn’t love that kind of uncertainty? 🙄

Oh, and did I mention? The bill finally promises to give back pay to those poor, furloughed federal workers who were either sent home or told to work for free. Classic move. Classic government. 🤦‍♂️

President Trump signs bill to OFFICIALLY reopen the government, ending the Democrat Shutdown.

Let’s get our country WORKING again.

Markets? Yeah, They’re Happy (For Now)

Look, you know what happens when the government finally decides to stop playing with the economy? Risk assets jump. Bitcoin, for example, made a little rebound, climbing back toward the $105,000 mark after the whole thing was over. I mean, some traders were actually smiling. Maybe for the first time in weeks. 😏

Reports say that Bitcoin saw a nice 6.7% bump, while Ethereum decided to join the party and went back toward $3,600. Oh, and stocks? Yeah, they got in on the action too. It’s like one big financial fiesta!

Apparently, the end of the shutdown was a huge deal for big funds and ETFs. With a little less uncertainty, they could finally move money around without the fear of, I don’t know, the government shutting down again. Groundbreaking stuff, folks. 🤯

Some crypto folks are even feeling more confident about things like air travel and federal programs running normally. I know, sounds so reassuring, right?

Political Drama: Get Ready for Round 2

Of course, this is Washington, and nothing is ever that simple. Lawmakers from both parties are already gearing up for the next big fight, with a bunch of policies left out of the funding package. Because who doesn’t love a good old political fight? 🥊

As usual, the White House is framing the whole thing as a victory for governance (whatever that means), while critics are whining about the programs and protections that got left hanging. Typical. 🙄

Market Experts: Slow Down, People

While the immediate market reaction was all sunshine and rainbows, several analysts (you know, the people who actually know stuff) are saying these gains might not last. Shocking, right?

They’re predicting volatility could come roaring back if political gridlock makes a comeback, or if major tokens hit a wall of technical resistance. It’s not a done deal-in fact, it’s more like a half-decent deal at best. Traders are watching to see if things keep moving into the year-end, or if it’s just another short-lived bump.
