Elon Musk has been making moves to turn X (formerly Twitter) into an “everything app”. In the last 3 days, 3 separate updates have got the social media and crypto world buzzing. The general consensus is that X Money, Elon’s new payment platform, is coming sooner rather than later and Dogecoin (DOGE) might be part of the package. Here are the facts and rumors.
X Money Countdown
Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, has confirmed X Money will arrive in 2025. But some are saying it could be earlier. Leaked code suggests X will roll out the service before they get full regulatory approval in all 50 US states. This has the crypto world going wild especially those who are fans of Musk’s favourite meme coin.
X has money transmitter licenses in dozens of states and will aim for full nationwide compliance eventually. They missed a few deadlines in 2023 and 2024 but the recent leaks suggest the final product is almost done.
DOGE: The Headliner
Crypto analysts and market watchers are speculating that Musk’s payment system will include Dogecoin. He accepted DOGE at Tesla for some items and has tweeted about it in a playful way many times. So many think DOGE will be one of the cryptos included in X Money along with Bitcoin or stablecoins.
DOGE has already seen a 20% price increase in the last week due to the growing hype around being part of Elon’s plan. Though it dipped a bit on some days, overall the trend is up and believers in DOGE are counting on a future pump if X Money does include the meme coin.
The Rumors
Multiple X influencers have shared code snippets and said the new payment feature will roll out before full state-by-state approval. One said Musk wants to disrupt not just social media but the entire digital currency space. Another said “it smells like DOGE” referring to Musk’s history with the coin.
Some are also reading into Musk’s X posts. He changed his username to “Kekius Maximus” and some are speculating that means a DOGE announcement is coming. Others are talking about a “Dogecoin Reserve” and even a Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) being created but no official confirmation yet.
Why it matters
If X Money includes Dogecoin as a payment option it could supercharge DOGE adoption and turn a meme coin into a more mainstream digital asset. Supporters say it could trigger another rally if X’s massive user base adopts a fast and fun token that has been associated with Musk’s online persona for years.
With a full featured platform that combines social media and finance X Money is a big deal. Whether DOGE is the headliner or shares the stage with other coins, everyone is on the edge of their seats. For now investors and casual observers are watching every leak and tweet waiting to see if Elon’s plan comes to life.
