The strongest evidence available in this run is the fetched PANews article titled 'X产品负责人：加密行业经历艰难一年，或许该推出些产品来改善 | PANews', which directly states that Nikita Bier, identified as X's product lead, said the crypto industry had a difficult year and might need products to improve conditions. That article links to the specific X post at https://x.com/nikitabier/status/2043893779552448735. Separately, tracing the provided Odaily link produced the same X post as the upstream source, which corroborates that multiple secondary outlets are pointing to the same original statement. However, because direct fetching of the X post failed in this run, the exact wording could not be confirmed from the primary source itself, so confidence is medium rather than high.
