The issue of the U.S. government shutdown is back, and the probability on Polymarket has soared to 81%. The infighting in Washington has escalated, and regulatory agencies are effectively paralyzed.
The shutdown will short-term crush liquidity, and both BTC and altcoin prices will face pressure tests, but privacy coins are relatively resilient because they sell the anxiety of 'government oversight.' During the last U.S. government shutdown in 2025, #ZECUSDT surged 8 times, and #DASH surged 5 times.
History has repeatedly proven: every time there is a farce in Washington, it serves as a breathing window and a short-term pulse market for privacy coins.
