Trump's just signaled his plan to push Congress on capping credit card fees at 10%. Here's the thing—when traditional finance starts tightening up on fees, it inevitably changes how people think about financial products and services.



For the crypto and Web3 space, this move is worth watching. Traditional financial friction often drives curiosity toward alternative systems. If legacy payment networks face regulatory pressure to lower costs, the narrative around blockchain-based solutions becomes more compelling. Lower fees, faster settlements, less middleman markup—these are the selling points of decentralized finance that suddenly look pretty attractive by comparison.

It's not directly bullish or bearish for crypto, but it's the kind of macro policy shift that reshapes the competitive landscape. Whether this actually passes Congress is another question entirely, but the direction of travel matters.

Hmm... Traditional finance is forced to lower fees, which actually gives us an opportunity to tell stories? That's interesting.

Traditional finance is forced to lower fees, and now our DeFi narrative has truly gained momentum.

Traditional financial cards are being squeezed, but on-chain solutions are becoming more attractive? I buy this logic.

The traditional financial sector's self-developed "fee reduction plan" is basically just marketing for DeFi, haha.
