Is X Turning Anti‑Crypto? Musk’s Platform Targets CT Posts
Ki Young Ju, CEO of on‑chain analytics firm CryptoQuant, highlighted a chart showing “crypto”-related posts on X jumped to about 7.75 million on Jan. 9. The rapid spike in volume was flagged on Jan. 11 and has prompted users, creators, and market observers to question whether recent moderation tweaks or algorithm changes are reshaping which crypto posts get visibility. If X is shifting how it labels or deprioritizes crypto content, the move could matter for market sentiment, token marketing and information flow during fast‑moving events. Observers say higher post counts may reflect backlash, increased posting to evade filters, or algorithmic amplification — and they’ll be watching engagement metrics, moderation notices, and on‑chain flows to see if the surge translates into lasting impact.
