Senate Vote Ends Government Shutdown, Crypto Cases Reopen

After over 40 days of government shutdown, Washington is finally returning to normal operations. The Senate passed a temporary funding bill on Monday, clearing the way for federal agencies including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to reopen. This crucial action could bring much-needed relief to various businesses and pave the way for new crypto industry initiatives. Key regulatory decisions like those concerning spot Bitcoin ETFs were postponed during the shutdown. If the House approves the bill this Wednesday, government functions will resume by the end of the week.
