The longest U.S. government shutdown in history has created travel havoc as flight cancellations and delays have hit 40 airports across the country. With the Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix next week, that could dampen attendance.

While the Senate passed a continuing resolution to reopen the government, the ability to fully fund it must now pass the House before heading to the White House to be signed. House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that he plans to call a vote on Wednesday, meaning the earliest President Trump may sign the measure would be late that evening or early Thursday morning.

While the government may see funds begin to flow again, don’t expect travel headaches to disappear.

According to Airlines for America (A4A), the trade association for the leading U.S. airlines, both passenger and cargo carriers, staffing issues disrupted 5.2 million airline passengers A4A tracks from Oct. 1 through Nov. 9. Analysis of FAA delay data shows that controller staffing issues contributed to 61% of National Airspace System (NAS) delay minutes from Nov. 7-9—up from 47% in the first six days of November, 16% in October and 5% in the first nine months of 2025.

In a statement on Monday, A4A noted that while they commended the Senate for voting to open the government, delays and cancellations would likely continue.

“Airlines’ reduced flight schedules cannot immediately bounce back to full capacity right after the government reopens, said Airlines for America. “It will take time, and there will be residual effects for days. With the Thanksgiving travel period beginning next week and the busy shipping season around the corner, the time to act is now to help mitigate any further impacts to Americans.”

For Formula 1, the Las Vegas Grand Prix race week begins with Practice Sessions 1 and 2 on November 20, qualifying on November 21, and the race on the evening of Saturday, November 22 (8 pm local start time).

Staffing issues at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid airport have already caused cancellations and delays. At midafternoon on Monday, there were 65 cancellations and 424 delays at Harry Reid. Of those, 27 cancellations and 216 delays occurred on Southwest Airlines, which is Las Vegas’ busiest commercial airline.

While last-minute travel plans may be hit, it’s possible that fans who have already purchased airline and hotel accommodations may soldier on through the pains but still attempt to make the race. According to Mark Wang, CEO of Hilton Grand Vacation, the Elera Hotel, which sits just ahead of the start/finish area and hosts a luxury suite package of $3,000 for the three-day race weekend, has all 1,600 of its rooms sold out.

“We have strong demand for this year’s race.”

Ghana finalizes crypto bill; Kenya advances VASP law

The post Ghana finalizes crypto bill; Kenya advances VASP law appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > Ghana finalizes crypto bill; Kenya advances VASP law Ghana has become the latest African country to draft a comprehensive framework for the digital asset industry, with the country’s central bank sending the new draft bill to parliament. Meanwhile, in Kenya, a Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Bill that grants regulatory authority to the central bank and the capital markets watchdog was given the nod at the committee stage in the National Assembly. Ghana’s new law targets burgeoning ‘crypto’ sector The Bank of Ghana (BOG) recently announced that it has completed drafting a new virtual assets bill and will hand it over to parliament for consideration. The central bank has been working on the bill for a few years, local media outlets report. It has collaborated with the anti-money laundering (AML) watchdog, known as the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to address concerns such as market integrity, Know Your Customer (KYC) programs, and AML practices. Additionally, the bank has worked with industry experts and lobby groups, government institutions, legal and technology experts, and international partners, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF). BOG intends to continue collecting feedback from the rapidly expanding ‘crypto’ industry and has already planned national engagement sessions with the public. It will also lead awareness campaigns, which Governor Johnson Asiama has previously said is critical to the success of the new framework. In its statement, the regulator reiterated its commitment to promoting “a safe, transparent, and innovative virtual asset ecosystem that protects users, encourages responsible innovation, and safeguards the integrity of the financial system.” The top bank has already started laying the groundwork for the new framework.
