| X, Payments? |
Elon Musk’s X platform will officially integrate payments and investment tools into its app starting in 2025, enabling users to manage financial activity directly within the platform. This move positions the Musk X payment platform as a potential game-changer in both FinTech and digital asset adoption, with speculation growing about possible Dogecoin integration.
According to a Financial Times interview, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said the platform’s 600 million monthly active users will soon be able to “transact their entire life” within X. The app is expected to debut first in the United States, with future support for branded credit or debit cards under the X brand.
Will Dogecoin Be Part of the Musk X Payment Platform?
Musk has frequently supported Dogecoin, even suggesting in March 2024 that Tesla may soon accept the meme coin for payments. However, neither Musk nor Yaccarino confirmed whether crypto payments, including Dogecoin, will be available in the upcoming Musk X payment platform.
Currently, the app’s financial infrastructure is in beta under the name X Money. Musk emphasized caution, noting on May 25 via social media that “extreme care is needed when people’s savings are involved.” Yaccarino describes X Money as a full-scale commerce and finance ecosystem, with 2025 as the target for official rollout.
Digital Payment Race Accelerates Globally
Global companies are also accelerating digital payment integration. Visa is expanding stablecoin payments in Africa via a partnership with Yellow Card, and JPMorgan launched its deposit token ‘JPMD’ on Coinbase’s Base network for pilot trials.
As centralized apps like X enter the financial space, the future of crypto integration will depend on regulatory clarity and consumer adoption. Still, the Musk X payment platform could become a cornerstone of next-generation Web2.5 finance, bridging traditional banking and decentralized assets.
Coin Market 24/7 Commentary
Musk’s pivot toward in-app finance makes X one of the most ambitious payment platforms in the social media space. If crypto integration follows, it could significantly boost Dogecoin’s utility and reshape digital wallet ecosystems across Web3.
