Heading into the November elections, inflation is weighing on voters as the Fed mulls action on interest rates, which could trigger another economic miniboom or the next recession. Regional banks remain on shaky ground a year after teetering on the edge of a full-blown meltdown, yet the prospect of tougher banking rules has stirred up a ferocious backlash. And crypto cash is flooding Washington as regulators seem increasingly inclined to legitimize digital assets.
