According to BlockBeats, on January 16, Kaito founder Yu Hu provided a timeline of recent events on the X platform. He received an email from a client manager on January 13 regarding a potential reassessment and a legal notice from X on January 14, to which he responded the same day. On January 15, he learned of Nikita's content release simultaneously with the public. Yu Hu noted that he had previously received legal notices from X and resolved them appropriately, suggesting that waiting for further clarification and discussion before making unilateral announcements was reasonable during this brief window.
Yu Hu also announced that Yaps has been shut down, and Kaito plans to expand beyond the cryptocurrency sector through Kaito Studio by 2026, targeting platforms like TikTok and YouTube. He mentioned that Kaito Studio has been in preparation for several months and will complement Yaps with a new model. This change will not affect Kaito Launchpad, Kaito Pro, Kaito API, or the upcoming Kaito Markets, with more roadmap details to be released in the future.
