Meanwhile, El Salvador's president doubles down on BTC accumulation, "OG whales" make massive moves, and Trump family members enter the Bitcoin buying spree.

Why Are Crypto Traders Watching the US Shutdown So Closely?
The current political stalemate in Washington has frozen $1.2 trillion in government spending, including critical SEC approvals for crypto ETFs. Historical data shows that after the 2018-2019 shutdown (then the longest at 35 days), Bitcoin surged 300% within five months. If history repeats, we could see BTC at $410,000 by Q2 2026.
