Elon Musk’s all-encompassing “X” app, previously known as Twitter, has unveiled a dedicated account for its forthcoming payments feature, intensifying discussions within the crypto community about the prospect of cryptocurrency integration.
Anticipation is mounting that the X app will introduce in-app payment services by mid-2024. However, the community remains in suspense as to whether this feature will extend its support beyond conventional fiat currencies.
Despite no posts being published on the account, its adorned gold badge signifies its status as a verified organization, and the presence of the X badge indicates its association with the X platform.
Crypto enthusiasts are now pondering whether the upcoming payment feature will include support for cryptocurrencies. In a recent X post, crypto researcher Mason Versluis conveyed his excitement to his 169,000 followers, expressing hope for the inclusion of cryptocurrencies starting with “X,” such as XRP.
Elon Musk, known for incorporating DOGE for payments on Tesla’s merchandise store and occasionally mentioning it on social media, is speculated to be considering DOGE as the prime candidate for inclusion on the X app, if any cryptocurrency were to be featured.
Over time, the crypto community has scrutinized subtle hints from Musk and the X platform, suggesting a potential interest in DOGE for upcoming projects. As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, all eyes are on X to see how it will shape the future of cryptocurrency payments.
