Trump Signs $1.2 Trillion Bill, Crypto Markets React With Relief
Trump signed a $1.2 trillion spending bill, officially ending a four-day U.S. government shutdown.
The bill passed narrowly in Congress and funds most federal agencies through September 2026.
Crypto regulation activity resumes as SEC and CFTC return to full operations after shutdown.
US President Donald Trump has signed a massive $1.2 trillion government funding bill, bringing an end to a brief four-day federal shutdown. The shutdown began over the weekend after lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on key spending measures.
The decision has reduced political uncertainty and brought a positive reaction in the crypto market, especially for Bitcoin.
Trump Signs $1.2 Trillion Bill Ending Government Shutdown
On February 3, 2026, US President Donald Trump signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026, a massive $1.2 trillion spending bill.
The bill was passed by Congress in the House by a narrow margin, 217-215. It finalizes 11 major annual spending bills that cover government programs and operations for the rest of the fiscal year.Â
With Trump’s signature, most federal agencies will now remain funded through September 30, 2026.
Key Highlights of the Spending Bill
The newly signed bill includes several important changes. It cuts funding for NPR and PBS, reduces foreign aid by nearly $10 billion, raises military pay, and increases money for deportation flights. It also confirms that USAID will be closed as part of budget reforms.
However, not everything is settled yet. The spending plan for the Department of Homeland Security is still under negotiation, with Democrats pushing for tighter limits on enforcement actions.
The bill also showed divisions inside the Republican Party, as some members disagreed with parts of the spending plan.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats will not support any more short-term funding for Homeland Security unless major changes are made. This creates a risk of another partial government shutdown soon.
How the Bill Impacts the Crypto Market
The bill does not include any direct rules for cryptocurrency, but it still affects the crypto market in important ways. As the bill was signed, Bitcoin saw a small recovery bounce from $75,600 and $77,310.
During the four-day shutdown, regulators like the SEC and CFTC were partly inactive, which slowed crypto approvals and ETF discussions.
With the government now reopened, key economic data, including the January jobs report and weekly jobless claims, will be released on time. These reports influence Federal Reserve decisions, which have a strong impact on crypto prices.
