Crypto-related topics have dropped in popularity on X, topping the list of muted keywords on the platform. Nikita Bier, the head of product at X, disclosed the development on Thursday. He said that crypto has emerged as the “most snoozed” topic on the “For You” tab since the Snooze feature was launched on April 22.
Bier’s revelation points out that crypto fatigue has suffocated the spirit of discussions on social media. Afterall, over the last few months, the crypto market has remained paralyzed by the regulatory gridlock around U.S.’ much awaited CLARITY Act. Discussions between industry players and U.S. regulators have been going on for months despite which this market structure bill has ironically not reached a point of clarity.
The lacklustre price action for crypto heavyweights like BTC and ETH has only fueled the silence, implying that when the green candles disappear, so does the conversations.
The official X handles of Binance and OKX were quick to drop responses under Bier’s update.

X chief Elon Musk, who in the past has been an avid supporter of crypto assets, has also recently termed majority cryptocurrencies as scams. During the ongoing trial in his case against OpenAI and Sam Altman, Musk said that while some cryptocurrencies have merit, most are scams.
Did AI make it to the snooze list?
According to the list of snoozed topics released by Bier, crypto has lost more popularity than other topics like politics, Iran conflict, sports, business and finance, as well as entertainment and gaming.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has also made it to the list at number seven. The flurry of daily updates on topics like agentic AI could have seemingly overwhelmed X visititors — making them add this raging topic on the snooze list as well.
The “Snooze” feature on X is available for Premium users that lets them hide selected topics from the “Your Feed” tab and better customize what category of topics do they wish to engage with.
