New Code Sparks Rumors of Imminent X Money Launch Without Securing All U.S. States Licenses

Highlights:

• The leaked software code hints at X Money launching soon.
• Finn speculates that the U.S. launch as X holds licenses in 39 states for money transmission.
• X Money may incorporate cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin, boosting DOGE’s price.

Speculation about the imminent launch of ‘X Money’ has intensified following a recent leak of software code linked to Elon Musk’s X platform. The leak indicates a potential U.S. launch despite lacking approval in some states. The code was shared online by Aaron Perris, a MacRumors contributor.

A screenshot, reportedly showing the latest code, contains a line saying, “X Money is not available in your state.” This has led some observers, including American entrepreneur Alex Finn, to speculate that the service could launch in the U.S. even without approval from all 50 states. One X user replied to Finn’s post, suggesting that creators will soon earn money without strict regulations. “No permission needed, no holding back, just pure opportunity,” the user said.

If the rumors are accurate, X Money will launch in 39 states where X holds a money transmitter license. However, the payment feature won’t be available right away in Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New York, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, as per Finn.

X Money May Add Bitcoin and Dogecoin, Says Finn

Given Musk’s strong interest in cryptocurrencies, many anticipate that X Money may offer access to Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Musk’s electric car company, Tesla, supports DOGE for merchant purchases and holds $1.1 billion worth of Bitcoin, according to Arkham Intelligence data.

During a self-hosted X Spaces, Finn suggested that X Payments will likely support cryptocurrency in some capacity. He explained that crypto offers one of the fastest ways to transfer currency. Finn also mentioned that crypto could serve as a significant infrastructure for X Payments.

Dogecoin has been a favorite of Elon Musk and other X executives. While it’s unclear when Dogecoin will be added to X Money, the community is confident about its inclusion. At press time, DOGE was trading at $0.3395 after a 1% rise in the past 24 hours. The meme coin could experience a significant price increase once it’s included in X Money.

X Money Launch in 2025 Brings Musk Closer to the “Everything App” Vision

Speculation about the X payment launch follows X CEO Linda Yaccarino’s December 31 post on the platform. She confirmed that X Money will launch in 2025. However, Aaron Perris, a MacRumors researcher, has not independently verified the leaked source code. X has yet to comment on whether the launch will happen today.

She stated:

“In 2024, X changed the world. Now, YOU are the media! 2025 X will connect you in ways never thought possible. X TV, X Money, Grok, and more. Buckle up. Happy New Year!”

X is steadily progressing toward Musk’s vision of an “everything app.” It aims to replicate China’s WeChat. The platform would allow users to message, shop, and send money without leaving the app. X has over a billion registered users, though only 40% are active. With this reach, X has the potential to disrupt both social media and fintech industries.

In 2024, X changed the world. Now, YOU are the media!

2025 X will connect you in ways never thought possible. X TV, X Money, Grok and more.

Buckle up. Happy New Year!🥂
