The US government shutdown enters its second week: The US SEC is temporarily operating with extremely limited staff

Odaily Planet Daily reported that the US government shutdown has entered its second week. As of Monday morning local time, the US Congress has not reached an agreement to resume normal operations. The US Securities and Exchange Commission stated that the agency will operate with extremely limited staff under certain conditions, and its ability to review crypto ETFs will be restricted; the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission pointed out that there is currently only one commissioner serving as acting chairman, and its operations are also restricted. It is reported that Trump will not nominate a successor to the CFTC chairman until the US government resumes normal operations.
