Today’s Catch Up
When Washington reopens, cryptos could roar back
Every time the U.S. government goes into shutdown mode, markets turn defensive.
But as soon as Washington ends the shutdown, the relief rally that follows often gives cryptos a massive boost.
When the U.S. government shut down between December 2018 and January 2019, Bitcoin surged from around $3,550 to $13,000 over the next five months after the government reopened.
Now the same could repeat.
But this time … according to crypto expert Juan Villaverde who has accurately predicted every major crypto bull and bear market since 2012 … Ethereum could be the biggest winner.
Already, Ethereum is seeing large inflows from Wall Street, Fortune 500 companies and even Washington itself.
But here is the kicker …
Juan says Ethereum won’t be the only beneficiary this time.
There are three smaller cryptos that he believes are positioned to move even faster as liquidity comes back into the system.
One of them is tied directly to Ethereum’s growth and could potentially soar as institutional buying resumes.
Complete details are inside Juan’s latest briefing.
If the shutdown officially ends, you will want to be positioned early.
Judges allow North Carolina to use a map drawn in bid to give Republicans another US House seat
A federal three-judge panel on Wednesday allowed North Carolina to use a redrawn congressional map aimed at flipping a seat to Republicans as part of President Donald Trump’s multistate redistricting campaign ahead of the 2026 elections.
The map targets the state’s only swing seat, currently held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Don Davis, an African American who represents more than 20 northeast counties. The 1st District has been represented by Black members of Congress continuously for more than 30 years.
Texas ID restrictions could prevent immigrants in US illegally from buying, registering vehicles
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles is implementing more stringent photo identification requirements for all vehicle registrations and renewals in an abrupt shift that could shut out immigrants from legally owning vehicles.
Current photo identification, such as a state driver’s license or passport, must be presented when new vehicle registrations or renewals are made, according to the new policy. The DMV said it informed county tax offices on Nov. 18 of the new requirement, which went into effect immediately. The San Antonio Express-News first reported the policy change.
