Following the resolution of the ongoing US government shutdown, Bitcoin has seen a notable price surge, drawing attention on social media platforms. The Senate recently passed a controversial funding bill, aiming to end the government closure that has been in effect for weeks. The bill requires 60 votes from both Republicans and Democrats, with eight Democrats joining Republicans to secure the necessary support, ensuring its passage to the House of Representatives for a vote, potentially reopening the government by Wednesday. The shutdown has left over 1 million federal employees unpaid and disrupted agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, operating with minimal staff. The impact extends beyond government services, affecting air travel through labor shortages resulting in flight cancellations, delays, and reduced operations at airports nationwide. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price experienced a significant jump after dipping to $99,300 on Friday, rebounding by 6.7% to reach approximately $106,000 according to CoinGecko data. Social media platforms have been abuzz with Bitcoin as the top-trending asset due to its price increase and the optimistic sentiment surrounding the shutdown’s resolution. Analysts predict a potential surge of Bitcoin to $150,000 by year-end, highlighting its role as a safe haven asset and symbol of digital trust. Meanwhile, Bitcoin adoption continues to expand, with over 4 million Square merchants now able to accept Bitcoin payments without fees, driving significant progress towards mainstream payment integration.
