Emojis that automatically appeared with hashtags for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are no longer visible on the Elon Musk-owned social platform X.
On July 26, users of the platform began sharing that the emoji no longer appeared when they posted “#bitcoin.” It was later found that hashtags such as “#bnbchain” and “#cryptocom,” which previously displayed brand-specific images, also no longer displayed these emojis.
Additionally, the emoji for #MAGA, which previously displayed an image of Donald Trump, also appears to have been removed.
These emojis were originally introduced in 2020 when the platform was known as Twitter.
Back then, the app’s former owner, Jack Dorsey, aimed to promote the Bitcoin symbol within Unicode, a text encoding standard run by the Unicode Consortium that supports the use of text in all digitizable writing systems around the world.
The final days of July could bring critical developments that reshape investor sentiment and influence the next leg of the crypto market’s trend.
Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of crypto exchange Gemini, has accused JPMorgan of retaliating against the platform by freezing its effort to restore banking services.
Renowned author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki has issued a word of caution to everyday investors relying too heavily on exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The classic four-year crypto market cycle—long driven by Bitcoin halvings and boom-bust investor behavior—is losing relevance, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.
