Dogecoin (DOGE) is back in the spotlight as leaked code from X (formerly known as Twitter) hints at the imminent launch of its much-anticipated payment system, X Payments.
Earlier this week, popular tech commentator Aaron revealed details about the leak, suggesting that X Payments could roll out without regulatory approval from all 50 states.
“It seems like X plans to launch X Money in the US before getting approval in all 50 states,” Aaron tweeted on Dec. 2, sharing the uncovered code.
This revelation has sparked speculation that creators in eligible states may soon be able to monetize their content through tips and payments directly on the platform.
Notably, this comes hours after X CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed that 2025 will usher in groundbreaking features like X Money, X TV, and Grok.
“In 2024, X changed the world. Now, YOU are the media! 2025 will connect you in ways never thought possible. Buckle up. Happy New Year,” She wrote on Dec. 31. While it remains unclear whether X Payments will expand beyond the U.S., Yaccarino’s remarks have heightened speculation about the inclusion of cryptocurrency, with DOGE emerging as a leading candidate.
Notably, X’s owner, Elon Musk, has long been a vocal supporter of Dogecoin. His involvement with the cryptocurrency dates back years, with Tesla accepting DOGE for merchandise purchases. Last year, Musk fueled further speculation by hinting at expanded use cases, stating that Tesla would “enable $DOGE payments at some point” and reiterating his famous rallying cry, “Dogecoin to the moon.”
Interestingly, Musk’s infamous tweet, “Dogecoin to the moon,” has become a rallying cry for DOGE enthusiasts. Even a 2023 lawsuit accusing him of artificially inflating Dogecoin’s value hasn’t dampened his enthusiasm, with Musk maintaining his promotion of the coin was always meant to be lighthearted.
That said, the leaked code appears to align with Musk’s vision of integrating cryptocurrency into X’s payment ecosystem. Alex Finn, a popular tech reporter, remarked in a recent broadcast that “X Payments in one way or another will support cryptocurrency….Crypto will probably be a good number of rails for [X] payments.”
Meanwhile, If X Payments embraces cryptocurrency, it could drive a market surge similar to the one triggered by PayPal’s adoption of crypto in 2021, which fueled Bitcoin’s historic bull run. Additionally, Musk’s broader focus on financial innovation, coupled with his playful initiatives like the “Doge Department of Government Efficiency,” keeps Dogecoin’s role firmly in the conversation.
At press time, DOGE was trading at $0.389, reflecting a 2.16% surge in the past 24 hours.
