Opinion: This time, the U.S. government shutdown may have a greater impact than before, as the surge in BTC and ETH shows market unease.

On October 3, the U.S. federal government partially shut down again starting early October 1. Analysis indicates that since 1981, there have been 14 federal government shutdowns in the U.S., mostly lasting one to two days. However, due to Trump's reciprocal tariffs and the controversy with Fed's Powell, this shutdown may have a greater impact than before. As the shutdown was confirmed early on October 1, gold Spot and December futures prices reached historic highs of $3862 and $3903 per ounce, respectively; Bitcoin and Ether, along with other Crypto Assets, also soared, reflecting market unease and a strong desire for safe havens.
