US lawmakers have approved a funding bill that will largely end a four-day partial government shutdown, with President Donald Trump expected to sign the legislation.
The US House of Representatives passed the roughly $1.2 trillion package by a 217–214 vote after it had already cleared the US Senate, funding most government operations through September 30.
The bill provides only two weeks of funding for the Department of Homeland Security, requiring lawmakers to return to negotiations over immigration enforcement agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol.
The shutdown was significantly shorter than the 43-day stoppage in 2025, which disrupted legislative efforts including work on digital asset market structure bills.
Bitcoin rose about 2% following the House vote, reflecting expectations that reopening the government would stabilise markets and allow delayed economic data to be released.
An end to the shutdown would likely clear the way for the January jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a key input for macroeconomic policy and market sentiment.
Separately, Senate committees continue to debate major crypto market structure legislation, with progress slowed after concerns were raised by industry leaders including Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $75,639.22.
