🚨 U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN RISK IS SURGING — AND MARKETS ARE ASLEEP
While equities remain calm, prediction markets are flashing red.
📊 What’s happening:
Prediction markets now price a U.S. government shutdown by Jan 31 as the base case
Budget negotiations are stalled
DHS funding remains stuck
Deadlines don’t move — even if politicians do
⚠️ Why this matters:
Government shutdowns hit confidence, liquidity, and near-term economic activity. Yet traditional markets haven’t priced this risk at all.
This creates a dangerous disconnect:
🔴 On-chain & prediction markets = rising probability
🟢 TradFi markets = complacency
That gap never lasts long.
💥 Potential impacts:
• Volatility spike across risk assets
• Short-term USD & Treasury dislocations
• Risk-off rotation — but also liquidity-driven crypto moves
• Increased attention on decentralized rails when institutions stall
⚡ Takeaway:
When alternative markets move first and legacy markets ignore it, history says repricing comes fast.
👀 Are markets underestimating this risk — or is this just noise?
