Analysts note that strong demand for cryptocurrency and an influx of funds into US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds support seasonal optimism. At the same time, a potential US government shutdown could catalyze a short-term influx of liquidity into alternative assets, including cryptocurrencies, due to delayed publication of key economic data and restrictions on Treasury operations.
Amid these trends, CME Group announced plans to launch 24/7 trading of cryptocurrency futures and options starting in early 2026, which meets the growing demand for continuous trading.

RecallFintech expert and co-founder of the Ukrainian fintech ecosystem Concord Fintech Solutions, Olena Sosedka, in a comment for UNN noted that cryptocurrency has long ceased to be a purely speculative asset and has become part of the global macro-financial system. According to her, digital assets are sensitively reacting to positive expectations, especially when it comes to a possible easing of regulatory pressure or strengthening of trust from institutions.
Sosedka emphasized that the growth affected not only Bitcoin – the prices of other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, also rose and are approaching $3,000 per coin.
Bitcoin is an indicator not only of financial but also of political conjuncture. Since digital assets are not controlled by governments, they react particularly sensitively to signals from major players
