A source code leak suggests that Elon Musk’s X platform could soon launch its payment system, called X Money. As the rumors circulate, they multiply, and here comes the optimistic speculations or, let’s say, the big question from the community: will there be an integration of dogecoin and Bitcoin or not?
Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, first reported in a December 31 article that the system would start in 2025. However, is real.
The code has a line that says: “X Money is not available in your state.” » This has led some people, like entrepreneur Alex Finn, to think the system could start in the United States without getting approval from all 50 states.
Currently, X has obtained money transfer licenses in 39 states. Once introduced, the feature will initially not include states like New York, Hawaii, and Massachusetts, among others.
X Money aims to allow users to tip content creators on the platform. Finn, speaking at a self-hosted of its infrastructure. He highlighted that cryptocurrency is one of the fastest ways to send money, making it a smart choice for the system.
Speculation about crypto mainstreaming stems from Musk’s history of supporting digital assets, and his deep love for Dogecoin has earned him the nickname Dogefather.
Tesla, its electric car company, accepts Dogecoin for payments and holds $1.1 billion in Bitcoin, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. Given this strong history, it is natural to wonder if DOGE will be part of the X Money system when it launches.
Additionally, if the rumors are confirmed, X Money would launch in all 39 states where licenses have been obtained. Excluded states include Alaska, Delaware, Indiana and Vermont, among others. Finn noted that new regulatory approvals could delay a nationwide rollout.
Yet while the leaked code has attracted attention, X has neither confirmed its authenticity nor shared details about the payment system’s features. As of now, it is unclear whether popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or even Dogecoin will be part of the system.
