X Ships Six Product Updates in 10 Days Under Nikita Bier, Including Smart Asset Labels
X rolled out six product updates over 10 days under product lead Nikita Bier, BlockBeats reports. On Jan. 11, Bier said crypto-related posts had been downranked on X, drawing community pushback; on Jan. 19 he clarified that creator revenues are calculated only from Home timeline impressions, with replies excluded. X announced it is developing Smart Asset Labels to let users trade financial assets directly on the platform, stating a V1 would roll out within the next month; Bier added the API will handle near-real-time on-chain mints and query small-cap crypto assets not yet listed on major exchanges without switching to DEX. On Jan. 15, Bier said X will revise its developer API policy to prohibit apps that reward users for posting (so-called "InfoFi"), citing a surge of low-quality AI content and reply spam, with Kaito and Cookie seeing brief price drops and project direction changes; on Jan. 21, X introduced a "Starter Pack" to help newcomers discover top accounts across industries and regions, including CZ, Vitalik and Justin Sun, and the "Global Trends" page added a meme category.
