Government Shutdown Impact

Definition

Government shutdown impact refers to the economic and operational consequences resulting from a temporary cessation of non-essential government services. In traditional markets, this can cause uncertainty, affect economic data releases, and delay regulatory decisions. For digital assets, such an event may influence investor sentiment, potentially driving capital towards perceived safe havens or away from riskier assets. It introduces an element of macroeconomic instability that can affect all financial markets.
