Nikita Bier, the head of product at X, recently hinted at a potential launch of a crypto-related product, stirring speculation about Bitcoin payments, stablecoins, and prediction markets. This teaser comes just weeks before the anticipated launch of X Money, a digital wallet and payments service that has been in development since Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022. Musk confirmed that X Money is expected to go live in April 2025, despite facing scrutiny from US lawmakers, particularly Senator Elizabeth Warren, over concerns regarding user financial data and regulatory oversight.
Coinbase has suggested that Bitcoin could be a potential focus for X, referencing the Lightning Network tipping feature that Twitter had previously launched under founder Jack Dorsey in 2021. Bier's connections to the Solana ecosystem, where he serves in an advisory role, have added intrigue and skepticism to the conversation, with some community members questioning whether these ties could influence X's crypto initiatives. As the launch date approaches, the crypto community remains watchful for further developments.
