U.S. government shutdown would delay jobs data that Bitcoin traders need to track Fed rate moves

The U.S. government might shut down again this week, and Bitcoin traders are stuck waiting. If Congress doesn’t agree on a funding deal by midnight Tuesday, large parts of the federal government will stop running. The shutdown would freeze economic reports, delay key data, and make life harder for anyone trying to predict what the Federal Reserve will do next with interest rates. That uncertainty would rattle Bitcoin and the wider crypto market.
