As per the decentralized prediction market’s platform, 25% of Polymarket bettors forecast that the U.S. government shutdown will continue until at least November 16.

Additionally, 18% of bettors estimate that the shutdown will end even earlier, specifically between October 23 and October 26.

This news regarding the Wednesday roundtable follows closely after Senate Democrats introduced their own proposal for crypto market structure.
In a statement on October 9, Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger asserted that the proposal would “drive responsible development overseas.”
“The disappointing proposal outlined by Senate Democrats would effectively ban decentralized finance, wallet development, and other applications in the United States—an outcome that’s neither workable nor consistent with American innovation,” Mersinger stated.
Nevertheless, with the government shutdown currently in effect, it remains uncertain how U.S. lawmakers will reconcile their differences to advance policies.
