President Donald Trump announced progress towards a bipartisan agreement to prevent a partial U.S. government shutdown, though key congressional votes are still pending. The current stopgap funding is set to expire Friday at midnight, with negotiations focusing on the Department of Homeland Security and immigration enforcement funding. The potential deal has not calmed market volatility, as Bitcoin recently fell to around $81,000 amid $1 billion in outflows from Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. Broader risk assets, including gold and silver, have also experienced sharp price movements due to liquidity concerns and geopolitical tensions, such as Trump's national emergency declaration over Cuba and potential military actions against Iran. Market analysts suggest that Bitcoin's decline is driven by tightening liquidity conditions rather than a loss of confidence in the asset. The U.S. Treasury's cash balance increase is seen as a factor pressuring risk assets, with larger Bitcoin holders remaining inactive, indicating the moves are liquidity-driven.
