How Long Will the U.S. Government Shutdown Last?

Story Highlights

The U.S. government shutdown has dragged on for over a month, making it the longest closure in the nation’s history.

Concerns are growing over its impact as it has affected everything from the economy to financial markets. Analysts are worried over how longer it could stretch and what it would mean for the broader economy and the crypto markets in the coming days.

Traders on Polymarket expect the government shutdown to continue well into mid or even late November. Traders see a 56% chance it lasts beyond November 16.

The shutdown has delayed key economic reports creating uncertainty for investors and policymakers. Going ahead, a longer closure could make things worse, adding more strain to the economy.

According to a Bloomberg report, analysts estimate that this is costing the economy between $10 billion and $30 billion a week. Unlike past shutdowns, where the impact was mostly temporary, this one could cause more damage. With high inflation, job concerns, and cuts to food aid, experts worry that the impact is spreading far beyond just unpaid government workers.

Economists warn that if the shutdown extends beyond Thanksgiving, it could further damage consumer confidence and spending during the critical holiday season.

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett has also said that the impact is turning out to be much worse than expected. 

The shutdown has also affected the crypto market, delaying key developments like the ETF approvals and progress on the market structure bill. Geopolitical tensions have added further pressure, with Trump’s tariff threats against China triggering a major liquidation event.

However, the market has shown signs of recovery recently. The global crypto market cap today is at $3.55 trillion, up 2.7% in the last 24 hours.

Analyst Alex Krüger shared his outlook for risk assets heading into the end of the year

He notes that markets will likely stay cautious until the shutdown ends but expects a bullish rebound, with Bitcoin possibly rising over 5% within just 48 hours. The Fed’s December meeting could be hawkish since most Fed officials currently favor a pause. However, he notes that their stance could change as new data comes in. A potential new Fed Chair nomination before the next meeting could also lift markets.

He also warns that tax-loss selling in December could weigh on crypto prices, but the Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on tariffs could be a major bullish trigger if it goes against Trump.

Looking ahead, he expects a “very bullish” first half of 2026, driven by easier fiscal and monetary policies.
