#美国核心物价涨幅不及市场预估 X Platform Halted, InfoFi Ecosystem Faces Sudden Shock
On January 16, news broke that X has revoked API access for the InfoFi app. This move had an immediate impact on the market—KAITO dropped 19% within 24 hours, and liquidity clearly tightened.
On-chain monitoring data is in front of us:
Approximately 25.79 million KAITO are currently staked and locked, equivalent to about $14.16 million USD
Staked across 17,754 addresses, with an average of 589 KAITO per holder
A key detail cannot be overlooked—staked KAITO that want to be redeemed must go through a 7-day cooling-off period. At this rapid price decline point, these locked-up tokens are already at an unrealized loss of nearly 19%, putting holders under passive pressure.
Market analysts’ views are as follows:
"Once the 7-day unlock period ends, we are likely to see a wave of concentrated sell-offs. Whether the team can regain market confidence through new business logic or creative narratives becomes crucial. Judging by their handling yesterday, they seem to have a pre-planned strategy."
In the short term, this is a typical combination of external policy shocks and liquidity difficulties—two forces acting simultaneously, with significant destructive power.
Looking mid-term, the direction depends on two variables:
First, the actual scale of the unlock sell pressure after 7 days and the market’s absorption capacity
Second, whether the InfoFi team can break free from API dependency and build a new growth story
In the coming days, the test is not about who has more courage, but who understands market variables more thoroughly.
