📉 Price Drop: Cryptos Slide Amid U.S. Political Risk
Bitcoin fell about 1% today, trading lower as investors reacted to growing political uncertainty in the U.S. over a possible government shutdown. Ethereum dropped ~2.8%, Solana declined ~3.9%, and XRP was down ~2.9%.
The decline is seen as a cautionary move — many traders liquidated positions amidst nervousness over stalled congressional negotiations and weaker market sentiment.
