Crypto Prices Today: BTC, ETH, XRP Eye Recovery as Shutdown Ends
Cryptocurrency prices are showing tentative recovery signs after the U.S. government shutdown was halted when President Trump signed a temporary budget. Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP led early strength as traders reacted to reduced political risk; total market capitalization slipped 0.6% in the last 24 hours but has started to edge upward. Volatility remains, but the immediate pressure from the shutdown news appears to be easing.
The end of the shutdown matters because it removes a near-term macro overhang that had tightened risk appetite and liquidity flows. Market participants will watch whether volume and buy-side interest sustain the bounce, and whether this relief translates into broader gains across mid- and small-cap tokens. For now, BTC, ETH and XRP are the focus for signs of a more durable recovery.
