Following the recent public outcry surrounding the "Trump birthday card to Epstein," White House Press Secretary Levitt stated that the entire story recently published by the Wall Street Journal regarding the "birthday card" is false. As I have consistently stated, it is clear that President Trump did not draw or sign the painting. The President's legal team will continue to aggressively pursue the lawsuit.

On September 8, House Democrats released a screenshot of a letter purportedly signed by President Donald Trump, from a page in a 2003 "birthday book" dedicated to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday. The letter's content is highly controversial: a hand-drawn outline of a woman's torso interspersed with conversations between Trump and Epstein, with Trump's signature appearing below the drawing's buttocks. Trump previously denied the letter's existence and sued the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion in July for publishing it. Although Trump's team claimed the signature was a forgery, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Budowich released a comparison image attempting to disprove it, the New York Times had already documented a signature similar to the one on the letter in a 2016 report. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X: "The release of this drawing proves the entire 'birthday card' story is a fraud." She emphasized that Trump "neither signed nor drew the drawing" and stated that the legal team would continue to pursue legal action.

Bernstein analysts reiterated their $230 price target for Circle (CRCL), stating that the USDC stablecoin issuer is expected to maintain growth and refusing to worry about a short-term impact from Hyperliquid's stablecoin. Approximately 7.5% of USDC is used as collateral for Hyperliquid's perpetual swaps platform, raising concerns that its own stablecoin, USDH, could divert demand. Bernstein noted that building liquidity for new stablecoins is difficult, and the impact will be gradual. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that USDC will be deployed on the HyperEVM, emphasizing long-term investment in the ecosystem. Analysts also predict that demand for USDC will increase with the start of a cycle of interest rate cuts and the deepening integration of payments and financial services. USDC's market share has now risen to 30%, up from 28% in the second quarter.
