Ridiculous on their part.

With crypto going more and more mainstream, it won't be long before another payment system shows up and starts competing against Visa/MC and Paypal.

They are opening up a lane for a competitor to fill a fairly large gap.

Could this be some kind of tactic to manipulate the crypto market?

These are the people whose business depends on the USD existing so maybe but it'd be stupid

There's way more direct ways to manipulate the crypto market than whatever this would be.
