Odaily News X Product Lead Nikita Bier posted on the X platform, stating that today we are revising the creator revenue sharing policy to maintain the authenticity of timeline content and prevent manipulation of the program. During wartime, ensuring people have access to authentic on-the-ground information is crucial. Current AI technology makes it extremely easy to produce misleading content. Effective immediately, users who post armed conflict videos not labeled as AI-generated will have their creator revenue sharing suspended for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in permanent removal from the program. We will identify such content through signals such as posts with community notes or metadata from generative AI tools included in the content. We will continue to refine our policies and products to ensure X remains trustworthy during critical moments.

Odaily News Mizuho Securities analyst Dan Dolev raised the target price for Circle (CRCL) stock from $90 to $100, an increase of 10%, while maintaining a Neutral rating. Circle released its Q4 2025 financial report on February 25th, with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.43, surpassing Wall Street's expectation of $0.35, and quarterly revenue reaching $770 million. As of the end of last year, the circulation of USDC grew by 72% to $75.3 billion. Dan Dolev stated that due to rising oil prices caused by the US-Israel-Iran war, inflation may increase and reduce the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, which would help Circle earn stable interest income from its holdings of US Treasury bonds. Currently, the market capitalization of USDC is approximately $75.92 billion, holding a 24.3% market share. As of January 30th, Circle's USDC reserves include US Treasury bonds valued at $18.8 billion.
