Recently, tensions between the White House and Wall Street have escalated. The President announced plans to sue a major investment bank within two weeks, accusing it of discriminatory "debanking" practices. At the same time, he clarified rumors regarding the Federal Reserve Chair nomination, denying that the CEO of the said investment bank would be appointed to the position.

More aggressively, he also proposed setting a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. This move sent shockwaves through the financial community—Wall Street generally fears that bank net profits will be severely impacted. The public confrontation between the government and financial institutions has directly increased market risk premiums. Analysts believe that the ripple effects of this standoff are just beginning to spread, and subsequent impacts may continue to evolve.

Assets such as SOL, WLFI, and TRUMP are closely monitoring this policy development, with investor sentiment swinging amid policy uncertainty.

The White House's move is really aggressive, directly cutting the 10% interest rate ceiling and hitting Wall Street's profits. How come SOL and these coins are getting so restless?

The White House is really playing it tough, directly challenging Wall Street... 10% interest rate cap? The banks must be going crazy. SOL follows the trend and drops again... Policy uncertainty is like this; retail investors are always the last to know. What does Wall Street think? What can we small investors do? If this confrontation really turns into a fight, the crypto circle better watch out... The irony of de-banking is quite sharp, says the government. I stopped paying attention to TRUMP's assets a long time ago; it's too dirty. Anyone who dares to leverage now deserves it. When the interest rate ceiling comes, all financial models have to be rewritten. Interesting.

10% interest rate ceiling? Wall Street must be loving it haha The government is really starting to crack down on finance, this plot twist is happening pretty fast Is TRUMP really just harvesting the profits or genuinely reforming? Honestly, I can't see through it SOL fluctuates with policy changes, I'm just waiting to profit from the interest rate spread

Damn, a 10% interest rate ceiling? Wall Street is going crazy, and the crypto market is about to shake again. The government really dares to touch the financial cake; there's more drama to come. How are SOL and TRUMP moving these days? Is anyone buying the dip? Banks are probably going to get wrecked; this feels like just the beginning. Lawsuits + interest rate controls, the White House is pulling some hardcore moves. Is Wall Street now trying to bottom out and save itself? How does this ceiling move affect the crypto prices? Can any experts analyze it?
