✅ 1) What actually happened
On Feb 3, 2026, President Trump signed a spending bill that officially ended a partial U.S. government shutdown. �
Reuters
The shutdown lasted about 4 days and affected multiple departments like defense, labor, health, and transportation. �
The Guardian
The bill was narrowly passed by Congress with a 217-214 vote after heavy political debate. �
New York Post
👉 Main reason for the shutdown:
Disagreement over immigration enforcement rules and Department of Homeland Security funding. �
The Guardian
💰 2) Is $1.5 TRILLION released into the economy? (FACT CHECK)
⚠️ The viral post saying “$1.5T+ released into the economy” is misleading.
👉 Real numbers:
The funding bill is about $1.2 trillion, not $1.5T. �
The Guardian +1
This money is normal government spending, not new stimulus or cash injection.
✅ What it really means:
Government operations restart.
Federal workers get paid.
Agencies resume work.
❌ What it does NOT mean:
No direct stimulus checks.
No instant liquidity flood into crypto markets.
📈 3) Why crypto reacted positively
Even without “new money printing,” markets like stability.
After the shutdown ended:
Bitcoin and crypto showed a short-term bounce.
Traders felt political uncertainty was easing. �
TradingView +1
Reasons crypto may move up: ✔ Less political chaos
✔ SEC and regulators fully operating again
✔ More predictable macro environment
🪙 4) Immediate crypto market reaction
Examples reported:
Bitcoin rebounded above key levels.
Ethereum and altcoins saw gains.
Overall crypto market cap increased as confidence returned. �
MEXC
But remember: 👉 It’s a sentiment boost, not guaranteed bull run.
⚖️ 5) Important political details
The bill:
Funds most government agencies until Sept 30.
Gives DHS only temporary funding until Feb 13 — meaning more negotiations coming soon. �
The Washington Post
So political risk is not fully over yet.
🧠 My Honest Analysis (Crypto Perspective)
Many crypto posts exaggerate news like this.
🚀 Bullish factors
Markets hate uncertainty — shutdown ending is positive.
Regulators back online → crypto approvals can continue.
⚠️ Reality check
This is NOT massive stimulus.
No guaranteed “liquidity wave.”
Price moves likely short-term unless macro improves.
👉 Think of it as: “Risk-off pressure removed” — not “money printing started.”
