Bankr Resumes Activity on X After Suspension Sparks Crypto Outcry

Bankr, an AI-powered crypto trading bot, swiftly returned to X following a brief suspension that ignited widespread support from the crypto community. The suspension, which lasted mere hours, came shortly after the bot's launch on Telegram, where it remains barred. Founder @0xDeployer speculated the Telegram ban might stem from terms-of-service violations, though the team insists it complied with platform rules.

The bot enables cryptocurrency management and trading via text commands on platforms like X and Farcaster. Its abrupt removal triggered a grassroots campaign, with users rallying behind the #FreeBankr hashtag to pressure X into reinstating access. While X relented, Telegram's stance remains unchanged, pushing users toward decentralized alternatives such as Base App and Farcaster.

The incident underscores the crypto community's rapid mobilization in defense of tools it deems essential—and the precarious balance projects strike when operating on centralized platforms. Bankr's partial revival highlights both the resilience of decentralized infrastructure and the lingering power of mainstream social media gatekeepers.
