Platform X is developing its payment capabilities and Dogecoin payments are coming soon

The X platform, previously known as Twitter, is progressing with its payment feature's development.

The feature is currently in the development stage, as revealed by X user Swakshan, who is known for leaking upcoming features from various applications.

This development suggests that the platform is moving closer to launching its payment service.

An update featuring this payments feature could potentially be released later this year.

Elon Musk's Vision

Elon Musk, the owner of X, has long discussed transforming the platform into an 'everything app.'

A key component of this vision is the integration of a payment service.

To this end, X has acquired money-transmitting licenses in 35 states across the United States, with the most recent acquisition in North Dakota.

Fifteen more states remain, and once these licenses are obtained, the payment feature could be launched.

However, the timeline for acquiring the remaining licenses is still uncertain.

Dogecoin Speculation

The potential inclusion of Dogecoin payments in the X payment service has garnered particular interest from the crypto community.

Musk's well-known fondness for Dogecoin fuels these speculations.

He has often expressed his support for the meme coin, which leads many to believe that Dogecoin might be integrated into the platform's payment service.

Despite the rumours, Musk has not officially confirmed whether Dogecoin will be included.

His biography did mention the idea of using DOGE for the payment service, leaving the door open for this possibility.

Code Insights

Swakshan's findings from the X payments development code revealed no explicit mention of Dogecoin payments.

However, the presence of a web URL (/i/payments/verify-payment-method) suggests that several payment methods will be available.

This leaves the possibility open for Dogecoin to be included.

For now, the Dogecoin community will have to wait for official confirmation from the X platform.

Dogecoin influencer Mishaboar also confirmed that beyond rumours, there is no official word on Dogecoin payments.

Musk's Affinity for Dogecoin

Musk recently reiterated his fondness for Dogecoin, stating he has a "soft spot" for the meme coin because of his liking for dogs and memes.

He also mentioned a lack of affinity for Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

This has led to speculation that Dogecoin could be the only cryptocurrency integrated into the X payment service upon its launch.
