{"content":"$🚨 BREAKING: U.S. Government Shutdown Could Extend to December — Longest in History Looms $ETH 3,576.84 (-4.75%) | $XRP 2.3112 (-5.57%) | $FLOKI 0.00005959 (-9.24%) According to projections from Polymarket, the U.S. federal government shutdown is now expected to extend through Thanksgiving, possibly reaching December 1st. If this forecast proves accurate, the shutdown would last 61 days, nearly doubling the previous record. 🔍 What’s Happening The federal government has run out of funding after Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution. As a result, many non-essential operations have been suspended or placed on unpaid status. Meanwhile, essential workers—including those in air traffic control—must continue working without pay. Thousands of federal employees are now either furloughed or working unpaid, a situation echoing the economic pain of the 2018–2019 shutdown but on a potentially larger scale. ✈️ Aviation System Under Extreme Pressure The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has reported a severe staffing shortage, with more than 3,000 air-traffic controllers missing from duty. Training programs and new hires have been frozen due to the shutdown, worsening an existing shortfall of about 3,500 controllers. The strain is already visible: A recent day saw 22 FAA “shortage triggers”, among the highest levels since the shutdown began. Over 8,000 U.S. flights were delayed in a single day, highlighting the growing risk to travel reliability and safety. ⏳ Why This Shutdown Could Break Records If the current deadlock extends to December 1, the ongoing standoff will last 61 days—surpassing the 35-day shutdown of 2018–2019, the longest in U.S. history to date. Without a budget agreement, essential federal agencies continue operating without funds, stretching personnel and resources to their limits. 💬 Market Impact As uncertainty deepens, major cryptocurrencies are showing strain: Ethereum ($ETH) — ▼ 4.75% XRP ($XRP) — ▼ 5.57% FLOKI ($FLOKI) — ▼ 9.24%$ETH {future}(ETHUSDT) {future}(XRPUSDT)","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025112025/11/04/4f844c9ef3af416db2ab41c49e6944b6.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["XRP/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
