According to Cointelegraph, Ki Young Ju, founder of CryptoQuant, has expressed dissatisfaction with X's approach to managing crypto-related posts, highlighting the platform's failure to address the surge in automated spam. Ju argues that X is penalizing legitimate users instead of tackling the underlying issue of bots. In a post on X, Ju noted a significant increase in automated activity linked to the keyword 'crypto,' with data indicating over 7.7 million posts generated in a single day, marking a rise of more than 1,200% compared to previous levels. Ju claims this influx of low-quality content has led to algorithmic measures that inadvertently impact genuine crypto accounts. Ju emphasized that as artificial intelligence progresses, the presence of bots is inevitable, and X's inability to differentiate between automated accounts and human users is the core problem. He criticized the platform's paid verification system, stating it has failed as a filtering mechanism and now permits bots to 'pay to spam,' while authentic users experience reduced reach. Ju expressed his frustration, saying, 'It is absurd that X would rather ban crypto than improve its bot detection.' The criticism follows comments from Nikita Bier, X's head of product, who attributed Crypto Twitter's visibility issues to excessive posting by users. Bier explained that many accounts exhaust their daily reach by frequently posting or replying with low-value messages, such as repeated 'gm' replies, which diminishes visibility for more substantial content like project updates. Bier remarked, 'CT is dying from suicide, not from the algorithm,' suggesting that over-posting dilutes reach because the average user only sees a limited number of posts daily. This statement has sparked debate within crypto communities, with some users arguing that X is suppressing Crypto Twitter content, neglecting its significance as a niche that sustains the platform. Despite these challenges, X remains a crucial communication hub for crypto users, who rely on it for real-time market insights, project updates, breaking news, and onchain analysis. Last year, X introduced a messaging feature called XChats, which Elon Musk announced would incorporate 'Bitcoin-style encryption' along with audio and video calls, disappearing messages, file sharing, and a redesigned architecture utilizing the Rust programming language.

According to PANews, Japan plans to classify Bitcoin as a financial product this year, a move that could incentivize Japanese citizens to invest in the cryptocurrency. Crypto analyst Willy Woo commented that this classification would result in Bitcoin earnings or transactions being taxed at a rate of 20%, rather than the marginal income tax rate, which ranges from 43% to 55% for annual incomes exceeding $57,000. This change could diminish Metaplanet's tax arbitrage advantage compared to self-custody of Bitcoin. Additionally, approximately 110 other cryptocurrencies will be included in this classification, with staking earnings subject to marginal tax rates.

Key TakeawaysBitcoin ETF outflows total $681 million in the first full week of 2026Spot Ether ETFs see $68.6 million weekly net redemptionsMacro uncertainty and delayed rate-cut expectations drive risk-off positioningSource: SoSoValueSpot Bitcoin ETFs See Four Days of RedemptionsSpot Bitcoin ETFs recorded four consecutive days of net outflows from Tuesday to Friday, according to SoSoValue data. The largest single-day withdrawal hit $486 million on Wednesday, followed by $398.9 million on Thursday and $249.9 million on Friday.These redemptions erased earlier gains, after ETFs attracted $471.1 million on Jan. 2 and $697.2 million on Jan. 5. The reversal marked a sharp shift in near-term Bitcoin ETF flows. Ether ETFs Mirror Bitcoin WeaknessSpot Ether ETFs followed a similar path, posting approximately $68.6 million in weekly net outflows. Total net assets across Ether products stood near $18.7 billion at week’s end.The parallel decline suggests broader caution across digital asset ETFs, not isolated Bitcoin news. Correlated flows reflect shared exposure to macro-driven risk sentiment. Macro Uncertainty Drives Risk-Off PositioningAnalysts have attributed the pullback to shifting expectations around monetary policy.  Investors are also closely watching Federal Reserve guidance and upcoming U.S. CPI data. Until clearer signals emerge, buying pressure may remain limited. Institutional Interest Remains Intact Despite OutflowsDespite short-term ETF weakness, broader institutional interest continues to build. Morgan Stanley filed with the SEC to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs, becoming the first major U.S. bank to pursue such products.Meanwhile, Bank of America authorized advisers to recommend select Bitcoin ETFs to clients. These moves signal long-term confidence in blockchain-based investment products, even amid volatility. Bitcoin Outlook: Tactical Shift, Not Structural ExitWhile weekly outflows reached $952 million, month-to-date ETF flows remained positive at $588 million in late December. In 2025, crypto ETPs attracted $46.7 billion, underscoring durable demand.The current pullback appears to reflect tactical repositioning rather than a loss of conviction. For now, the Bitcoin outlook hinges on macroeconomic data, policy clarity, and whether renewed bullish momentum can return to ETF flows.
