๐จ U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN RISK IS SURGING โ AND MARKETS ARE ASLEEP
While equities remain calm, prediction markets are flashing red.
๐ Whatโs happening:
Prediction markets now price a U.S. government shutdown by Jan 31 as the base case
Budget negotiations are stalled
DHS funding remains stuck
Deadlines donโt move โ even if politicians do
โ ๏ธ Why this matters:
Government shutdowns hit confidence, liquidity, and near-term economic activity. Yet traditional markets havenโt priced this risk at all.
This creates a dangerous disconnect:
๐ด On-chain & prediction markets = rising probability
๐ข TradFi markets = complacency
That gap never lasts long.
๐ฅ Potential impacts:
โข Volatility spike across risk assets
โข Short-term USD & Treasury dislocations
โข Risk-off rotation โ but also liquidity-driven crypto moves
โข Increased attention on decentralized rails when institutions stall
โก Takeaway:
When alternative markets move first and legacy markets ignore it, history says repricing comes fast.
๐ Are markets underestimating this risk โ or is this just noise?
