When Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, was exposed as siphoning customers’ money into political donations, venture investments and more, there was a run on deposits that forced the crypto exchange to shut down withdrawals in late 2022. FTX filed for bankruptcy, and lawyers quickly dashed any hope of recouping the funds. Customers were told most of it was missing or stolen.

It was not exactly urgent to get the rug, but the larger question the rug had to answer was urgent enough. She had recently moved out of the large home she shared with her husband and child in Silver Lake and into a small two-bedroom house behind her writing studio in Echo Park. We were just getting acquainted as she carefully merged on and off a series of highways in her blue Toyota Prius. There was going to be traffic — of course there would be traffic — and it began to dawn on us that this was going to be a long drive. In such close quarters, Ms. July suggested we might define the terms of our relationship more clearly.

In recent months, the Fed had been signaling that there would be two or three rate cuts this year. But on Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index had climbed 3.8 percent on an annual basis in March after volatile food and fuel prices were stripped out.

Based on its trading pattern so far, Trump Media looks a lot like a meme stock. Those stocks — shares of companies whose investors may be influenced by the whims of social media — are volatile by nature. Mr. Trump, however, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, may have larger worries on his mind. He recently had to post bonds in two separate cases, amounting to well over $200 million.

The comeback is a reversal of fortune from more than a year ago, when the value of cryptocurrency cratered as Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange, FTX, collapsed almost overnight. Many investors lost billions, and intensified government scrutiny of the industry fueled doubts about its existence. Some wondered anew: If digital currency isn’t backed by another asset, is it really worth anything?
