PANews reported on October 9th that, according to Jinshi Data, the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September meeting revealed a deepening disagreement over the path of interest rate cuts. While most officials believed further easing this year was "likely appropriate," seven dissenters supported further rate cuts; only Governor Stephen Miran advocated for a one-time 50 basis point cut and dissented. The minutes noted that the government shutdown had resulted in a lack of key economic data, forcing officials to rely on private sector data and business feedback. A slim majority predicted at least two more rate cuts this year, with markets anticipating 25 basis point cuts in October and December . Powell emphasized the need to maintain a careful balance between the "two-way risks" of employment and inflation.PANews reported on October 9th that, according to Jinshi Data, the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September meeting revealed a deepening disagreement over the path of interest rate cuts.

What the U.S. shutdown tells us about market resilience

What the U.S. shutdown tells us about market resilience

The post What the U.S. shutdown tells us about market resilience appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. During the U.S. federal government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) went into contingency staffing mode. Almost a hundred crypto ETF decisions got stuck in approval limbo as a result, and key economic-data releases from agencies such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau were paused. For crypto, that blackout became an unscripted stress test, as the industry suddenly lost its usual regulatory support elements. And given that the crypto market often prides itself on being decentralized and self-sufficient, this is a moment of truth where it can prove that claim. How do crypto traders, exchanges, and issuers perform when oversight suddenly vanishes? Let’s take a look. What Actually Pauses in a U.S. Shutdown: ETF and token-filing reviews: Routine processing of ETF and token registration documents is largely suspended, as reflected by the SEC announcement. Issuer communications: Many correspondence channels between the SEC and registrants are inactive during the shutdown. Federal data releases: Reports such as jobs, inflation, and trade data are delayed, per Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics notices prior to the shutdown. A Pause in Oversight, Not in Action The shutdown didn’t just stop new rules; it halted everything that gives the market structure and visibility. And with enforcement activity slowing to a crawl, that leaves crypto issuers, exchanges, and traders navigating the silence on their own terms. For issuers, it’s an exercise in patience. There’s nothing to do but wait. Projects with pending ETF or token applications simply can’t move forward, no matter how ready they may be. Bureaucratic timeouts don’t discriminate — they hit all momentum equally. Exchanges, meanwhile, are keeping steady. The more experienced ones understand that running smoothly during a regulatory blackout is the best insurance policy. If anything goes wrong…
