X, the most widely used app for crypto projects, is changing its API access policy. InfoFi projects, which proliferated non-organic bot content, will be cut off from the social network. 

X cut API access to InfoFi projects, after a period of increased non-organic traffic with AI-based content. InfoFi was another use case for on-chain activity, which still relied on the traditional X feed. Users were rewarded for posting, and ended up overloading the social media platform with AI-generated content. 

In another round of reinventing the X relationship with crypto content, the site’s product manager, Nikita Bier, explained the changes coming for InfoFi projects. The changes effectively ban rewards for posting, especially for explicit promises to earn points or airdrop access.

The changes come just a day after X boosted exposure to crypto projects through cashtags, offering more accurate labeling for projects and tickers.  

The changes came after the crypto community accused X of decreasing reach for crypto projects, apps, and influencers. In the past year, some projects complained of lower reach, while X tried to fight scams and low-quality content. 

InfoFi tokens crash after X ban

Immediately after the news of the API ban, almost all InfoFi tokens wiped out a part of their value. The overall market is small, valued at under $400K, reflecting the relative novelty of InfoFi projects.

In the past day, the whole token class crashed by 11.6%, with near-vertical losses immediately after Bier’s statement. KAITO, one of the leading InfoFi and mindshare apps, lost 15.2% to trade near its lowest range at $0.57.

ZachXBT criticized InfoFi campaigns

ZachXBT has been tracking various InfoFi campaigns, believing they harmed the crypto community rather than popularizing the projects. 

While Kaito offered useful data on influence, it also encouraged frequent posting that bloated the content in the crypto space. 

InfoFi creation followed a previous attempt to rebuild social media for niche projects. However, InfoFi apps decided to use the exposure of X, the most widely used social network. 

The recent API ban showed that even projects claiming to be decentralized relied heavily on Web2 rails for their exposure. 

Before the ban, InfoFi projects spent widely on API access and encouraged posting as a way of farming airdrop points. The Kaito airdrop was the most notorious case, later establishing multiple circles of influencers. 

Soon after the ban, InfoFi faced an uncertain fate. For some, Kaito and other apps were doomed to be abandoned, similar to FriendTech apps. For others, InfoFi would seek ways to adapt and find more favorable platforms or new tasks for point farming, such as testnet usage.

Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution

Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution

The post Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In this week’s edition of InnovationRx, we look at possible pain treatments from cannabis, risks of new vaccine restrictions, virtual clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic, GSK’s $30 billion U.S. manufacturing commitment, and more. To get it in your inbox, subscribe here. Despite their addictive nature, opioids continue to be a major treatment for pain due to a lack of effective alternatives. In an effort to boost new drugs, the FDA released new guidelines for non-opioid painkillers last week. But making these drugs hasn’t been easy. Vertex Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval for its non-opioid Journavx in January, then abandoned a next generation drug after a failed clinical trial earlier this summer. Acadia similarly abandoned a promising candidate after a failed trial in 2022. One possible basis for non-opioids might be cannabis. Earlier this year, researchers at Washington University at St. Louis and Stanford published a study showing that a cannabis-derived compound successfully eased pain in mice with minimal side effects. Munich-based pharmaceutical company Vertanical is perhaps the furthest along in this quest. It is developing a cannabinoid-based extract to treat chronic pain it hopes will soon become an approved medicine, first in the European Union and eventually in the United States. The drug, currently called Ver-01, packs enough low levels of cannabinoids (including THC) to relieve pain, but not so much that patients get high. Founder Clemens Fischer, a 50-year-old medical doctor and serial pharmaceutical and supplement entrepreneur, hopes it will become the first cannabis-based painkiller prescribed by physicians and covered by insurance. Fischer founded Vertanical, with his business partner Madlena Hohlefelder, in 2017, and has invested more than $250 million of his own money in it. With a cannabis cultivation site and drug manufacturing plant in Denmark, Vertanical has successfully passed phase III clinical trials in Germany and expects…

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715. The near-term trend of the pair remains bearish as it stays below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around 1.3800. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) slides to near 40.00. A fresh bearish momentum would emerge if the RSI falls below that level. Going forward, the asset could slide towards the round level of…
