PANews reported on January 16 that Yu Hu, founder of Kaito AI, provided supplementary information regarding the announcement of "removing Yaps and the incentive leaderboard." Regarding the timeline: his team first received an email from the X platform account manager on January 13th about a possible reassessment, and issued a legal response the same day after receiving formal legal notification; on January 15th, the team and the public simultaneously saw a public statement from Nikita Bier, the X product manager.

Regarding the reason for not issuing any prior announcement, Yu Hu explained that this was not the first time they had received legal notices from the X platform. The previous issue was resolved amicably through a new corporate agreement. Therefore, the team chose to wait for further clarification and communication rather than hastily issuing an announcement. Yu Hu also stated that the new Kaito Studio platform had been in preparation for several months and was originally planned as a supplement to the Yaps model. With the closure of Yaps, Kaito Studio will become the core of the cross-platform business in 2026, while other businesses will remain unaffected.

Previously, X announced the cancellation of post rewards and banned "InfoFi" type applications from attracting users by rewarding posting behavior ; subsequently, Kaito announced that it would gradually shut down Yaps and the incentive leaderboard, and launch Kaito Studio ; 7 days ago, the Kaito team transferred 5 million KAITO to Binance, which was questioned as "knowing in advance about the negative news and selling off their holdings" .

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
