<p>Nikita Bier, X Platform's new Product Manager, has initiated several controversial changes, including altering creator income formulas and open-sourcing algorithms, stirring reactions within the crypto community.</p>   
<p>These changes impact crypto content monetization and user interaction on X, leading to volatility in affected cryptocurrency projects and prompting debates on platform dynamics and creator incentives.</p>  
<h2 id="x-s-radical-content-shift-sparks-user-backlash">X's Radical Content Shift Sparks User Backlash</h2> 
<p><strong>Nikita Bier's statement on January 11th</strong> that <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/2024-01-21-x-formerly-twitter-launches-dedicated-payments-account-crypto-community-speculates-integration-3048379974721">"crypto tweet suicide is dying out" and "crypto-themed tweets have been de-platformed"</a> led to a wave of dissatisfaction. This prompted Elon Musk to announce open-sourcing the platform algorithm on January 20th.</p> 
<p>The platform's announcement of <strong><a href="https://coincu.com/news/hashkey-hong-kong-ipo-200m/">Smart Asset Tags</a></strong> aims to empower users to trade financial assets directly, leveraging a sophisticated API capable of handling on-chain minted content swiftly. Low-cap crypto assets could also be accessed without switching platforms.</p> 
<p>In the wake of these announcements, <strong><a href="https://coincu.com/markets/federal-reserve-crypto-markets-impact/">significant community reactions</a></strong> emerged. X's policy to exclude replies from creator income calculations, as clarified by Bier on the 19th, impacted user dynamics. Industry figures like CZ, Vitalik Buterin, and Justin Sun were identified as top accounts in a newly introduced onboarding tool.</p> 
<h2 id="implications-of-smart-asset-tags-and-policy-changes-on-trading">Implications of Smart Asset Tags and Policy Changes on Trading</h2> 
<p style="background-color: #222222; color: #ffffff; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px;"><strong>Did you know?</strong> The introduction of the Smart Asset Tags at X Platform involves an API that almost instantly processes on-chain minted content. This move mirrors historical shifts, such as the discontinuation of NFT profile pictures at X, reflecting evolving strategies in the industry.</p> 
<p>Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading at $0.13, with a market cap of $21.40 billion and a market dominance of 0.70%, according to CoinMarketCap.
