Silence Continues"},"content":{"rendered":"

Elon Musk has quietly switched X Money\u2014formerly shrouded in code-leak rumors\u2014into live testing\u2013but despite years of hints, Dogecoin is still nowhere to be seen. Responding late Sunday to a fan account that had trumpeted \u201cX Money soon,\u201d the X owner wrote<\/a>: \u201cThis will be a very limited access beta at first. When people\u2019s savings are involved, extreme care must be taken.\u201d The post, timestamped May 25, is the clearest signal yet that Musk is ready to expose a real-world user cohort to the long-promised payments layer inside his \u201ceverything app.\u201d<\/p>\n

The confirmation locks in a timeline Musk has toyed with since buying Twitter in 2022 and re-branding it as X. X Money is envisioned as a full wallet and banking stack that sits natively inside the social network, edging it toward Tencent\u2019s WeChat model. Internal milestones suggest a broader US rollout \u201clater this year,\u201d but Musk\u2019s caveat underscores that initial testers will number in the low thousands at most, giving engineers a controlled environment in which to watch balances and transfers behave under real stress.<\/p>\n

If the beta feels cautious, the regulatory chessboard explains why. X Payments has amassed money-transmitter licences<\/a> in 41 US states and the District of Columbia, according to the company\u2019s own disclosures and NMLS filings. Missing from that list is New York, whose Department of Financial Services demands the famously onerous BitLicense for any crypto-adjacent activity.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month two Manhattan lawmakers urged DFS to deny X Money\u2019s application, warning that Musk\u2019s \u201cpattern of reckless conduct\u201d made him unfit to handle consumer funds. \u201cWhat we\u2019re talking about is nothing less than Elon Musk becoming a permanent part of the country\u2019s financial infrastructure\u2014with access to enormous quantities of consumer data,\u201d Assemblymember Micah Lasher said in a letter.<\/p>\n

California\u2014another heavyweight jurisdiction\u2014granted its licence in late 2024, smoothing the path for Visa to become X Money\u2019s first network partner. At January\u2019s CES, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said users would fund an in-app \u201cX Wallet\u201d instantly via Visa Direct and move money to bank accounts in real time, adding that the Visa tie-in was \u201cthe first of many big announcements\u201d for 2025.<\/p>\n

No Dogecoin In Sight<\/h2>\n

For the crypto market, the unanswered question<\/a> is whether Musk will fold digital assets\u2014especially his meme-coin of choice, Dogecoin\u2014into the product. Sunday\u2019s exchange offered no such hint; neither did Yaccarino\u2019s Visa reveal. That silence matches January\u2019s messaging and runs counter to years of speculation that Musk would use Dogecoin to jump-start adoption.<\/p>\n

If the limited beta proceeds without incident, X Payments expects to widen access state-by-state as remaining licences land. New York\u2019s verdict looms largest; success there would unlock Wall Street users and cement X\u2019s claim to national coverage. Even without Dogecoin and crypto rails, the service positions X to levy interchange and wallet fees\u2014a new revenue channel for a platform still \u201cbarely breaking even,\u201d as Musk admitted to staff in January.<\/p>\n

For now, Dogecoin remains on the sidelines<\/a>, its fate tethered to regulatory clarity and Musk\u2019s own risk appetite. But with a live beta finally in motion, the window for decisive technical integration\u2014fiat or otherwise\u2014has opened. The Dogecoin community will be watching every commit, every licence approval, and every hint in Musk\u2019s notoriously cryptic replies.<\/p>\n

At press time, Dogecoin traded at $0.228.<\/p>\n
