  • Crypto is the most-snoozed topic on X since the platform launched its new mute-style feature.
  • X head of product Nikita Bier said crypto ranked ahead of politics, the Iran conflict, sports and business.
  • The ranking follows X’s January crackdown on InfoFi apps that rewarded users for posting.
  • AI-generated spam, engagement farming and weak market sentiment appear to be weighing on Crypto Twitter.

Crypto has become the most-muted topic on X, an awkward turn for the platform that once served as the central feed for Bitcoin, memecoins, protocol updates and market commentary.

X head of product Nikita Bier said crypto is the most-snoozed topic since the platform launched its snooze feature, ranking ahead of politics, the Iran conflict, sports, business and finance. The feature lets Premium users hide topics from their For You feed for 24 hours, giving X a cleaner read on what users want removed from their timelines.

The result points to a problem that has been building across Crypto Twitter. The issue is not simply that users have stopped following crypto. It is that much of the feed now resembles bot activity, token promotion, engagement farming and AI-generated filler, also known as 'AI Slop'.

Crypto Tops X Snooze List Ahead of Politics

Bier shared the ranking in an X post, listing crypto as the most-snoozed topic since the feature went live.

The ranking is notable because crypto beat categories that usually dominate high-volume social feeds, including politics, conflict, sports and finance. That suggests user fatigue is not only about market noise. It is about the type of crypto content now reaching the For You feed.

Crypto Twitter was once one of the fastest places to spot narratives before they reached exchanges, media sites or analyst notes. That still happens, but the useful posts now sit alongside repeated ticker spam, automated replies, paid engagement loops and AI-written threads that add little beyond volume.

InfoFi Spam Put Crypto in X’s Crosshairs

The ranking did not appear in a vacuum. In January, Bier said X was changing its developer API policy and would no longer allow apps that rewarded users for posting on the platform.

Those apps, often grouped under the InfoFi label, offered points or token incentives for posts, replies and engagement. The effect was predictable. Feeds filled with low-effort content designed for reach rather than readers.

X’s position was unusually direct. Bier said the platform had revoked API access from those apps as part of an effort to reduce AI slop and reply spam.

For crypto, the crackdown hit a market that had become closely tied to attention incentives. Projects wanted visibility, users wanted rewards, and the feed became crowded with posts written for algorithms instead of people.

Signal What happened Why it matters
Snooze data Crypto became X’s most-muted topic since the feature launched. Users are filtering out the category, not just individual accounts.
InfoFi ban X cut off apps that rewarded users for posting. The platform linked those incentives to AI slop and reply spam.
Market mood Crypto sentiment remains in Fear territory. Weak markets leave users less patient with low-quality commentary.

X Adds Crypto Tools as Users Mute Crypto

The snooze data lands as X is adding more finance features, not fewer.

Earlier in April, the platform launched Smart Cashtags for iPhone users in the U.S. and Canada, giving users live charts for assets including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Coinbase and MicroStrategy inside the app. The rollout fits X’s broader effort to make financial content more useful on the platform.

That creates an obvious tension. X still wants finance and crypto activity inside the product, but its own user data suggests the crypto feed has become harder to tolerate.

For serious crypto accounts, the distinction is important. Market data, original reporting, research and thoughtful commentary still have value. The content users appear to be rejecting is the repetitive layer around it: AI posts, incentive-driven replies and ticker chatter with no new information.

Nakamoto Daily recently covered how prediction market transactions hit a record 191 million in March, showing that crypto-native information markets can still pull in meaningful engagement when users see a clear purpose. X’s problem is different. It is not that crypto lacks attention. It is that the useful content is being buried under noise.

Weak Sentiment Makes the Feed Harder to Defend

The muted-topic data also comes during a softer stretch for crypto sentiment.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index remains in Fear territory, according to CoinStats. That does not explain every snooze click, but it helps explain the mood. In bull markets, users tolerate more noise because prices are rising and narratives feel profitable. In weaker markets, the same feed looks thin very quickly.


Nakamoto Daily’s Fear and Greed coverage has tracked how long poor sentiment can shape market behavior. The X data points to a similar issue in crypto media: when sentiment is weak, low-quality posts become harder to ignore.

Crypto Twitter is still where many narratives begin, but the snooze leaderboard is very telling. If users are muting crypto itself, the industry’s attention machine is starting to work against its best content.
