🚨 BIG WARNING: US GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN Poses Major Risk to Crypto $NOM

The odds of a U.S. government shutdown by January 31 have surged to nearly 80%, up from just 10–15% a day ago. $ZKC Democrats are blocking the spending bill over DHS funding provisions, while Republicans remain firm, making a shutdown a real possibility. With the debt ceiling already raised to $41.1 trillion, politicians can extend the standoff without immediately halting government operations, increasing the risk further.

$AUCTION A shutdown could severely impact crypto because the Treasury usually rebuilds its Treasury General Account (TGA) by pulling funds from financial markets. During the last shutdown, this liquidity drain totaled around $220 billion, causing #BTC and #ETH to fall 20–25% and altcoins to drop even more.

The current environment is even more precarious: liquidity is already thin, market confidence is low, institutions are heavily in stocks and gold, and volatility is high. #Crypto markets are swinging violently on small flows, meaning a shutdown-driven liquidity drain could trigger an extreme crash.
