- Bitcoin jumps past $106K; Ethereum and XRP also see gains.
- Reopening restores SEC funding, clearing the path for crypto regulatory decisions.
After 40 days of political gridlock, the U.S. Senate has approved an amended appropriations bill, paving the way to reopen the federal Government. The historic Shutdown, the longest in American history, had stalled parts of the economy and delayed regulatory actions. The bill now heads to the House for a final vote, expected within hours, which could see federal operations resume as early as tomorrow.

News of the Senate’s approval sent shockwaves through the crypto market. Bitcoin jumped past $106,000, its highest in nearly a week. Ethereum also climbed, while XRP rose more than 2%. Analysts note that government reopenings often trigger bullish sentiment in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

As Washington gets back to work, market watchers see an opportunity for digital assets to regain momentum. For traders and investors, the key will be monitoring regulatory updates and market sentiment over the coming days.
