U.S. Shutdown Ends; Crypto Markets Surge on Green Lights

After 40 days of shutdown, the U.S. Senate voted to reopen operations, triggering a market response in crypto markets. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP led the recovery, pushing the total crypto market cap past $3.57 trillion, marking a historic surge driven by renewed investor confidence. The government funding agreement brings back normalcy after weeks of uncertainty, and the SEC is resuming activity, accelerating the review process for pending crypto ETFs. Notably, the first spot XRP ETF will be among those likely to receive approval soon.
