CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Jin Ten citing Fox, after Congress failed to pass a temporary spending bill to avoid a government shutdown and send it to President Biden's desk before the deadline, some government agencies have closed. The Senate is currently actively conducting amendment votes and other deliberations to submit the bill to Biden. This temporary bill is expected to pass in the Senate within the next few hours.

The partial shutdown of government agencies is only a few days away from Christmas and New Year. However, since the Senate is expected to pass the bill shortly, the disruption to government functions from the short shutdown will be minimal. [Original link]
