A major policy shift just hit the InfoFi ecosystem: X announced a platform-wide ban on all InfoFi applications, effectively removing these data-driven tools from its infrastructure.

Kaito Yapper, one of the most popular players in this space with 157K active users, took the heaviest blow. The ban triggered an immediate selloff—$KAITO token plummeted as traders processed the sudden loss of distribution channel and platform exposure.

This raises a crucial question for the broader community: Is this the right move? The decision potentially impacts not just individual projects but the entire on-chain analytics and social finance layer that's been building momentum throughout the cycle.

What's your take—is stricter platform governance necessary, or does this unnecessarily stifle innovation in the crypto information economy? The market's already voting with its feet, but the long-term implications for InfoFi adoption remain to be seen.

Wow, X is really ruthless. InfoFi is completely banned? Kaito was directly beaten down... Big platforms really do whatever they want, innovation is gone. Who profited from this wave?

X this move is really brilliant, directly cutting the entire infofi ecosystem... Kaito and those guys must be feeling really frustrated. --- Once again, the platform centralization gets a blow, how can innovation continue... --- Wait, isn't this exactly what centralized platforms should do? It was long overdue. --- Kaito users are trembling, they've suffered a huge loss this time. --- infofi was abruptly cut off, on-chain analysis really needs to be figured out by oneself. --- Laughing to death, where is the promised open ecosystem... just turned around and banned. --- Actually, this should have happened a long time ago, the ecosystem is too chaotic.
