X Payments Account Sparks Crypto Speculation

Elon Musk’s “everything app” X, formerly Twitter, has created a dedicated account for its upcoming payments feature, sparking speculation in the crypto community about potential cryptocurrency integration. 

The verified @XPayments account, with X’s signature badge, signals the forthcoming in-app payment services planned for a mid-2024 launch. However, it remains unconfirmed whether cryptocurrencies beyond fiat will be supported. 

Crypto researcher Mason Versluis shared his excitement about the prospect of XRP, Stellar, and other cryptocurrencies being added. Meanwhile, many believe Dogecoin is most likely to be included, given Musk’s previous Dogecoin support. 

Subtle hints over time suggest X’s potential interest in integrating Dogecoin. However, some content creators claim X has recently cut crypto payouts, implying a shift away from crypto-friendly content.
