Bankman-Fried is not actively using Twitter due to his pending trial, possibly affecting his ability to adapt to the new policy.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Dorsey, head of crypto-focused payment firm Block Inc. and the former CEO of Twitter, also lost his checkmark. Dorsey has not tweeted since January.<\/p>\n<p>FOX Business cryptocurrency reporter Eleanor Terrett was affected as well. She <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EleanorTerrett\/status\/1649123012577226752\">commented on<\/a> the policy change, writing: &#8220;I am not going to pay $8\/month just to prove I am who I am.&#8221; Terret quipped: &#8220;it was a good run, blue check mark.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Blue checkmarks now cost money<\/h2>\n<p>Originally, Twitter granted blue checkmarks to notable and highly public Twitter accounts as a means of proving identity and preventing impersonation and fraud.<\/p>\n<p>However, under the leadership of Elon Musk, Twitter began to change its policy in late March to provide blue checkmarks to paying subscribers. Though this arguably removes the purpose of blue checkmarks, Twitter has introduced other identifying flairs, such as company logos for executives and grey checkmarks for government officials.<\/p>\n<p>Many crypto leaders seem to have adapted to the change in policy. Coinbase CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/brian-armstrong\/\">Brian Armstrong<\/a>, Binance CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/changpeng-zhao\/\">Changpeng Zhao<\/a>, Kraken CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/jesse-powell\/\">Jesse Powell<\/a>, and Ethereum creator <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/vitalik-buterin\/\">Vitalik Buterin<\/a> maintain blue check marks, among others.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that the accounts affected by the change will update soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of crypto leaders appear to have lost their &#8220;blue checkmark&#8221; status following changes to Twitter&#8217;s identity verification model on April 20.
