A proposed cap on credit card interest rates could severely shake the $70 billion securitized debt market, where lenders bundle credit card obligations into tradeable bonds. Industry analysts warn the ceiling would fundamentally disrupt this asset class. Yet interestingly, investors seem largely unmoved—most traders aren't pricing in the policy as a serious near-term threat. The disconnect reveals a familiar dynamic: market skepticism about regulatory follow-through. Whether this legislative proposal gains real traction remains uncertain, but the potential fallout for the asset-backed securities space is substantial enough to warrant closer attention.

Another regulatory crackdown? The market is already used to empty threats; let's wait and see when it actually happens.

Here comes another round of harvesting the newbies? Regulators are shouting every day, but they never take real action.

Another big move to harvest the retail investors? Is the 7 billion market about to collapse? I can tell from investors' reactions that this won't be that simple.

Coming back to interest rate controls again? Investors don't believe the policies can really be implemented; I think it's just a bunch of empty talk.

What are you doing with the interest rate cap again? This trick has been played too many times; regulators just shout about it.

market's basically pricing in regulatory theater again... technically speaking, the models don't account for actual enforcement odds. trust but verify on those "fundamental disruption" claims tho

Another "Wolf is Coming" story... Every time regulatory authorities shout about cutting interest rates, the market just turns a deaf ear, and this time is no different. If the 7 billion market really crashes, so be it; after all, ABS has long been a game of pass-the-buck.

It's the same old trick again, regulators shout loudly, but the market simply doesn't believe it.
