X Head of Product Nikita Bier said crypto is the most muted topic on the platform since the launch of the new snooze feature.

The ranking placed crypto ahead of politics, the Iran conflict, sports, business and finance, gaming, artificial intelligence, videos, science and technology, and entertainment.

The update came one week after X rolled out new product tools for Premium users. Those tools include topic snoozing and custom timelines.

The trend indicates that while crypto generates heavy engagement, users are also choosing to hide it more than any other subject.

The most snoozed (i.e., muted) topics since launching the snooze feature:

1. Crypto
2. Politics
3. Iran Conflict
4. Sports
5. Business & Finance
6. Gaming
7. Artificial Intelligence
8. Videos
9. Science & Technology
10. Entertainment & Arts https://t.co/ycp7OBHp8B

X Pushes New Custom Timelines

At the same time, X launched a new custom feed product similar to the old TweetDeck model. The feature is live for Premium users on iOS, with Android support coming later. Bier said the system uses Grok to read posts and build personalized topic feeds based on user behavior.

Users can create up to 75 custom timelines. Bier said the product took months to build. X also posted a demo video showing how feeds can be sorted by topic.

Users requested timelines for Ukraine, manufacturing, Bitcoin, memes, and religion. Bier said the religion feeds had been tested earlier but did not meet quality standards. He added they may return within two weeks.

Some users said early results were mixed. Posts from AI, software, and tech reportedly overlapped, while repeated content still appeared in feeds.

Crypto Fatigue on X, Bullish Mood Elsewhere

While crypto was the most muted topic on X, broader social data showed the opposite mood. Santiment said Bitcoin and Solana are seeing the highest positive crowd sentiment in four months across X, Reddit, Telegram, and other platforms.

Its latest reading showed Bitcoin at 1.38 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment. Solana was far stronger at 2.98 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment.

🤑 Bitcoin & Solana are seeing the highest level of FOMO across X, Reddit, Telegram, and other platforms since the end of 2025. According to Santiment's data, there are:

Both readings are at the highest levels since late 2025. Santiment warned traders to stay careful. When retail optimism rises too fast, and price fails to follow, sentiment usually resets fast.
