Trump to sign bill ending four-day partial US government shutdown
The US House approved a $1.2 trillion funding package 217–214 that will fund most of the federal government through Sept. 30, following Senate passage. President Donald Trump is expected to sign the bill so long as the Senate text is unchanged, which would end a four-day partial government shutdown. The legislation provides the Department of Homeland Security only two weeks of funding, forcing lawmakers to return to negotiations on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol policies. The brief shutdown (far shorter than the 43-day shutdown in 2025) had some disruptive effects and likely delayed previous efforts to pass digital asset market-structure and other legislation. Bitcoin rose roughly 2% to about $74,620 on the House vote. Further developments are expected as negotiations continue on border enforcement provisions.
Neutral
The immediate market reaction was modestly positive — Bitcoin rose about 2% after the House vote — because the avoidance of an extended shutdown reduces short-term political uncertainty. That said, the bill only provides DHS with two weeks of funding and leaves contentious immigration provisions unresolved, keeping political risk elevated. Historically, brief shutdowns or their avoidance have produced short-lived market moves rather than sustained trends; prolonged shutdowns or major legislative breakthroughs (e.g., clear regulatory frameworks) have larger impacts. For traders: expect a short-term relief rally or reduced volatility while the government reopens, but remain cautious. Continued negotiations over ICE and border policy could reintroduce volatility if they trigger further funding standoffs. Longer-term crypto market drivers (macro liquidity, regulatory clarity on digital assets) remain more important than this temporary funding fix.
