According to Fox News, a Democrat lawmaker has been charged with assaulting federal agents and responded dismissively to questions about fundraising in a recent public appearance (Fox News, May 21, 2025). This development introduces heightened political uncertainty, a factor historically linked to increased volatility in both traditional and cryptocurrency markets. Traders are closely monitoring potential impacts on regulatory outlooks and risk sentiment, as such incidents can drive short-term price swings in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum due to perceived instability in U.S. governance.
