The fintech lending space is heating up. Bilt Rewards just dropped three fresh credit card options—and here's the kicker: all capped at 10% interest rates. The timing? No coincidence. Days earlier, the U.S. administration publicly warned lenders to fall in line with rate caps, or face consequences. It's the kind of market pressure that gets companies moving fast. Whether this sparks an industry-wide shift toward lower rates remains to be seen, but it's a clear signal that regulatory scrutiny on lending costs is ramping up. Traditional finance watchers should take note—this could reshape how credit products get priced moving forward.

Once regulation is introduced, financial institutions have to obediently lower interest rates... To put it simply, policy pressure outweighs market forces. This move feels more like a temporary fix rather than a fundamental solution.

10% interest rate ceiling? As soon as the government steps in, companies have to obey. The regulatory pressure is really here now.

ngl, reading between the lines here... 10% caps right after admin warning? that's not a market shift, that's compliance theater. smart money already priced this in weeks ago. question is whether this holds or just another regulatory head fake we'll forget about in q2. seen this movie before.

Once regulation is introduced, these fintechs just follow suit. A 10% interest rate looks attractive, but it's just forced. If the entire industry starts to follow, traditional finance will be the ones crying.

Alright, as soon as the policy is announced, companies follow suit. We've seen this routine many times. But on the other hand, a 10% interest rate cap is definitely a good thing for ordinary people. I just wonder if this is just superficial.

Once the policy is implemented, companies have to obediently comply... This trick has been played out in traditional finance for a long time. Can Web3 escape?

Once the policy is announced, the cards are out. This quick response is impressive. Regulatory pressure can really motivate giants to act.
