MAGA lost its own culture war —and it could cost Trump his legacy: analyst

MAGA has lost the culture war it started when President Donald Trump entered office in 2016, and it could cost the president his legacy, one GOP analyst declared on Monday.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, argued in a new Substack essay that MAGA's meltdown over the Super Bowl LX halftime show by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny proved that MAGA had lost the culture war. However, the MAGA crowd can't seem to shake the "grievance act" because it's the only schtick they know, he added.

"The culture war is over, and MAGA lost; QED Bad Bunny and the NFL," Wilson wrote. "They know the grievance act is wearing thin. But like a gambler who’s down a hundred grand at the craps table, they just keep doubling down on the same losing hand."

Since Trump entered politics in 2016, he has consistently preached a message of bringing America through a revival moment that would make the country feel "great" again to the people who voted for him. That message largely resonated with wealthy white voters who saw the country changing more rapidly than they could accept.

"You can’t shout 'fake news!' at a deposition," Wilson added. "You can’t meme your way out of a federal investigation. The mythology is cracking, and the panic in the Trump White House is palpable enough to track on radar."

JPMorgan Chase: Circle faces "intense" competition from Tether, Hyperliquid, and fintech firms

PANews reported on September 19th that according to The Block, JPMorgan analysts stated that Circle faces "intense" competition as Tether, Hyperliquid, and several other fintech companies are preparing to launch new stablecoins. However, unless the cryptocurrency market expands significantly, the stablecoin sector may ultimately become more of a "zero-sum game" for US issuers. Analysts note that Tether plans to launch a GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoin, USAT, but its current USDT reserves are only approximately 80% compliant. Tether intends to place its USAT reserves in custody with Anchorage Digital to build trust, reduce costs, mitigate risks, and retain more revenue and improve profit margins. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid is preparing to launch its native stablecoin, USDH, to break away from its reliance on USDC. Its futures exchange accounts for approximately 7.5% of USDC usage, and the launch of USDH could reduce USDC's share. Analysts believe that the supply of stablecoins is closely related to the total market value of cryptocurrencies. If the field does not expand significantly, issuers may fall into a "zero-sum game", competing for market share rather than common development. The current scale of stablecoins is about US$278 billion, but its proportion of the total market value of cryptocurrencies is stable, lower than the average level of 8%.
