X's tightened API regulations have forced several DeFi and crypto projects to pause operations. Kaito (Yaps) and Cookie DAO (Snaps) lost API access, triggering sharp selloffs—$KAITO plunged 14.8% while InfoFi dropped 12% in just 24 hours. The ripple effects didn't stop there. Projects like DefiLlama went defensive, converting community Discord channels to read-only mode as a precaution against the chaos. This move highlights how platform policy shifts can cascade through the Web3 ecosystem faster than expected. When infrastructure access gets cut off, even well-established protocols scramble to adapt.

This move by X is really brilliant, directly causing chaos in the DeFi ecosystem... KAITO dropped 14.8%, how many people must be scared to death?

Here we go again. This wave of API bans has kept me awake all night... A 14.8% drop is nothing, but the key is that once these guys' infrastructure is cut off, the entire ecosystem will shake. I watched the gas tracker all night and still couldn't calm down.

Once again, big projects are cut down by X's policies. These major projects are really fragile.

Damn, X is causing trouble again? Who can handle directly cutting off the API?
