SHUTDOWN CONTINUES IN THE US: BAKKT WILL NOT RUN, WHILE TRUMP GIVES IN TO DEMOCRATS

US President Donald trump intends to stand firm on his demand for the construction of a wall on the border with Mexico. Trump said that he is in whatever it will fulfill its election promises, despite the ongoing more than a month shutdown of the government. For these reasons, the launch of the platform for trading Bakkt digital assets is postponed indefinitely.

Meanwhile, Republicans in the Senate have made an attempt to stop the “shatdown” and allocate funds for the construction of the wall as part of the package of measures proposed by the President. The vote in the Senate may take place today – on Thursday, but there is no indication that the plan is ready to support a sufficient number of Democrats.

Because of the “shutdown” affected approximately 800,000 civil servants, of which about 420,000 continue to work without being paid, and the rest has been sent to forced vacation. Some people have to look for temporary jobs.

While the shutdown had no impact directly on bitcoin, but the approval of Bakkt launch, due to the limited work of the Commission on trade in commodity futures has been postponed.
