The deal follows X's January 2026 API curbs that hit Kaito's real-time data access and could broaden product applications while easing platform-risk concerns for its crypto sentiment analytics business.
Kaito AI said it has entered a formal data cooperation agreement with X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter, to support a wider range of application scenarios by combining the companies' data management and application development capabilities. The deal follows X's January 2026 API restrictions, which severely limited Kaito's access to real-time platform data, contributed to a 20% drop in the KAITO token, and prompted the company to move away from its "Yaps" rewards program toward Kaito Studio. For investors, the agreement may help reduce platform-risk concerns tied to Kaito's dependence on X data while strengthening its position in crypto sentiment analytics.
