The US government shutdown may lead to the suspension of SEC lawsuits and the delay of crypto bills
A spokesperson for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that if the U.S. government shuts down due to failure to pass a spending bill by the end of the month, the SEC will follow its shutdown plan, or suspend litigation unless the situation poses a threat to consumers' property, and will stop reviewing and approving applications for new products. In addition, the government shutdown may have an adverse impact on how the House of Representatives advances the cryptocurrency bills awaiting a vote. If U.S. lawmakers fail to make a decision on government spending by September 30, bills focusing on cryptocurrency regulation, market structure, and stablecoins may all be shelved.
