CEO Elon Musk has expressed much interest in integrating viable payments methods into the social media platform, which is being rebranded as X. Musk envisions an everything app that could potentially alleviate the massive debt accumulated by the company via digital payments, including crypto options.
There are already some crypto-related features on the platform, such as allowing opted-in users to tip others with BTC and ETH. Users can also unlock special NFT-based profile pictures and view tweeted crypto collectibles. However, with the rebrand, there is speculation about further crypto integration, which could include support for various digital assets.
The possibility of Twitter accepting DOGE and other cryptocurrencies for ad spend is also considered, giving these coins real-world utility. However, some argue that users might not prefer cryptocurrencies for payments when other options with better attributes are available.
Despite the potential challenges, the rebranded Twitter is renewing its focus on creators by implementing a revenue-sharing program. Popular accounts are already receiving payments to retain influential personalities on the platform and compete with rival platforms like Threads.
Ultimately, whether crypto aligns with the overall vision for X remains to be seen, but there is optimism about its potential integration going forward given how much support and admiration Elon has for the industry.
