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?

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