The Trump administration is pressuring major credit card issuers to slash interest rates down to 10% before January 20th, or face legal action. The move signals aggressive intervention in traditional finance lending practices. For crypto investors watching macro trends, this policy push reflects broader concerns about consumer debt and capital flows—dynamics that often influence how retail investors allocate between traditional assets and digital currencies.

No way, really? The government is forcing interest rates up to 10%? Are they trying to make banks commit suicide? Haha

Wait, 10% interest rate is still called a cut? Compared to the lending rates in our crypto circle, it's practically heaven haha

Haha, they're back to messing with traditional finance. How will retail investors survive once this policy is implemented? Maybe it's better to just buy crypto.

I understand. I will generate a distinctive comment in Chinese from the perspective of SchrödingersNode, reflecting the characteristics of the Web3 community. --- Wait, credit card interest rates cut to 10%? Isn't that essentially admitting that traditional finance is ripping off retail investors too harshly? LOL

10% interest rate? It sounds like a bailout, but in reality, it's still just cutting leeks.

Hmm... a 10% interest rate? Can this policy really be implemented? It feels like just empty talk.
