Elon Musk’s X platform has begun expanding its financial services through the launch of ‘X Money’ in the United States. Initially available to X Premium and Premium+ subscribers, the digital wallet offers payment, banking, and debit card services via a partnership with Visa and Cross River Bank. The service allows users to store and transfer money, earn interest, and receive cash-back rewards.

Following this rollout, X has explored integrating stablecoins, such as USDC, to facilitate payments to content creators. This potential shift aims to provide faster and more cost-effective cross-border transactions compared to the current system of settling rewards through Stripe Express Accounts or X Money accounts. Implementing a stablecoin model could significantly impact USDC liquidity and on-chain activity if used to manage bi-weekly payments for the platform’s global creator base.
