TerraUSD, or UST, is supposed to be a stablecoin — a type of cryptocurrency meant to be pegged to a stable asset — that should not fluctuate in price. UST was pegged to the dollar. To maintain their pegs, custodial stablecoins are backed by reserves like dollars, U.S. Treasury bonds or other traditional assets. UST, though, is based on an algorithm that encourages traders to maintain its value. But a big sell-off in Luna, a sister currency linked to UST, plunged UST yesterday to a low of 23 cents.

Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, a crypto champion and a ranking member of the banking committee who is drafting stablecoin legislation, said he also hoped Congress would act fast. But he added that he did not believe that algorithmic stablecoins, like UST, needed regulation because they are not tied to assets like cash, held in banks. “It does not seem to me that this introduces systemic risk,” he said. As for those who lost money, Toomey said, “It should be up to consumers — and by the way, failure should be an option.”

President Biden last year encouraged federal agencies, including the F.T.C., to more closely scrutinize the tech industry. The president has also said he believes noncompete agreements, which employers have used to limit their workers’ ability to quit for better jobs, in all industries are a type of monopoly power.

Even with a Democratic majority, Khan faces challenges.

The creation of privacy regulations, for instance, could take years, said Daniel Kaufman, a former deputy head of the agency’s consumer protection bureau. Businesses are likely to challenge rules in court that don’t fit into the F.T.C.’s mandate to protect consumers from deceptive and unfair practices. “The F.T.C.’s rule-making abilities are not designed to tackle behavioral advertising,” said Kaufman, who is a partner at the law firm BakerHostetler. “So I’ve been telling my clients the agency could kick something off with a lot of press, but it’s unclear where it will go.”

G.M. is the big laggard.
</span>
The largest U.S.-based car manufacturer sold fewer than 500 E.V.s in the first quarter. Last year, G.M. announced a big bet on electric vehicles, saying it planned to phase out production of gas-powered cars by 2035. The company said the shift, along with some other moves, could start to bolster its revenue by 2030. But G.M. is taking longer than its rivals to get production up and running.

Mary Barra, G.M.’s chief executive, says it is playing the long game.

In a new interview, Barra
<a class="css-5nb5nb et1n85g0" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit">
tells The Times’s Neal Boudette
</a>
that she’s not worried about her company’s back-of-the-pack performance. One reason for the delays is because G.M., unlike rivals, is building a modular battery that can fit into its future vehicles, from compact cars to four-door pickups. It has been in the works for five years, but none of the company’s four proposed battery-making facilities have begun production yet. One is scheduled to start later this year.

The big equalizer is cost.
</span>
Barra says G.M.’s modular batteries will allow it to not only ramp up production faster (eventually), but also to bring down the cost of production, which she says is key to selling more E.V.s. Lower prices, she says, will allow G.M. to quickly move ahead of competitors in just a few years. Some analysts are skeptical about how much cost advantage G.M. will have, and question its plan to sacrifice sales now for efficiency later. “Right now seems to be the moment we customers are taking an interest in electric trucks,” said Sam Abuelsamid, an analyst at Guidehouse Insights.
